JUNE BUG
i'm excited about LOVE MEDICINE, there is more sybolism in the first 40 pages than in most books we've read before. So if June is the main character, and she dies in the winter, do you think her name is going to be symbolic of something important in the summer of her life ? or maybe in the lives of others she's influenced ?

I definitely think her name will serve as some type of symbolism. I am excited to see how the story unfolds and decode the symbolism embedded in the book.
i agree to. since she died in winter her name is "frozen" and allways remembered and she will always be talked about. sounds kind of corny but
well "June" is a name definitely tied to spring, and spring is the archetype for life and re-birth, so maybe June will somehow be "reborn" later in the story? idk just a thought
i think as the story progresses that the plot and story line will become more clear and linear than the first few chapters
ya i think her name is very symbolic...this book does lot have alot of symbolism. im interested to find out how the 4 elements of life tie into the story
i think that her name is going to have some symbolic reference to something having to do with junes parents or something about her physical appearance or something.
We hae already seen references to June (the character) in june bugs, june berries, and the month of june.. yes very symbolic.
