Throughout The Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet by Jamie Ford, I sympathized with Keiko and Henry the most. Although both are minority races, they are discriminated against differently. Keiko identifies as 'American', but that does not seem to matter as her family and the rest of the citizens of Japanese descent are whisked into armed, prison-like camps by U.S. officials.

Firstly we know from the story that the princess has a nightmarish daydream about opening the door of the lady. For example the narrator states “How in her horrid dream had she gnashed her teeth, and torn her hair, when she saw his rapture and delight as he came across women.” This quote proves she does not like the lady.

While some links between symbol and idea are quite evident (fragile masculinity) others lose their intended meaning outside of the context of the book (roses). Most of these symbols from the book are everyday objects that either remind Billy of his trauma after the fact or instantly become a way to compare and normalize his citizen and POW life. The inspiration to include this myriad of symbols was to include my unique interpretation of the most important symbols in the book.
