The part that stood out to me the most in chapters 1-4 of Breath, Eyes, Memory was the often mentioning of daffodils in the reading. It tells me that daffodils are going to be a very important symbol throughout the novel, there is even a daffodil in the cover of the book. In my research, I read that daffodils symbolize rebirth and new beginnings and that could relate to Sophie’s story because she is moving to New York and basically starting new again. I also read that daffodils are very popular in Haiti where Sophie is from, so it also represents home for her. So the meaning of the daffodil can be seen as a juxtaposition because it has two meanings that are opposite from each other.
