1. The Dandelion wine symbolizes how Douglas is alive and taking in everything around him, and it symbolizes that beauty. And he thought of memories as the dandelions as his memories.
2. Leo Auffman's wife was upset by the Happiness Machine because the joy was all an allusion. She wasn't really in Paris or indulging in her wishes, hopes or dreams, it was all a fantasy.
3. The concept of the ravine symbolizes a darkness, and even death. it also could represent the darkness within themselves, or the town.
4. I can see why Mrs. Bentley decided to deny her past, but it wasn't necessarily the right thing to do. Because your past makes you the person you are and shapes you into the being you are. We all make choices that we aren't proud of in our life but you have to learn from your mistakes and make you a better person.
5. As the boys documented they learned about how valuable time was, and how it gets wasted so easily but it sort of contradicts itself because during this process of reflecting their to busy counting instead of just enjoying it.
6. "The Lonely One" is the antagonist of the novel and he's the figure whom all the kids fear. He's connected to the ravine because the ravine resembles darkness and "The Lonely One" is looked as the figure who lurks in the dark and can never be killed. Lavinia did kill "The Lonely One" but the boys refuse to believe that because they think that he can never be killed, and the man who was killed looking nothing like him.
7. It was a very hot morning and Douglas had a fever and suffered from a heat stroke. The junk man Jonas helps him by giving him two bottles of cool air and tells him too drink it through his nose and that cures his fever.
8.The summer of 1928 never truly ended for Douglas, because what he learned over the summer he will never truly forget and will stay with him forever. And Bradbury portrayed summer to be a magical time and a little boys favorite time, but in this case it was a time of new beginnings and a ton of new discoveries.
