As stated above, in lines 24 through 26, black symbolizes not only the sadness of the girl, but her death. Rather than just explicitly stating that she died, I decided to use symbolism because it provides a clear picture of a funeral. Another example of symbolism in the text would be the “umbrellas” mentioned (line 24). When I think of group of umbrellas, I think of a rainy, dreary day, and I also think of a funeral. By talking about the funeral, the readers are hearing about the effects of cyber bullying and how it affects the people around the victim, too. In addition to symbolism, I added metaphor into the poem. The line, “She signed out,” is comparing her death to signing out of a social media account (line 27). When we die, we sign out of our lives, similar to how you would sign off of a social media account after being finished using it. This allows for a connection of social media and our lives, so how cyber bullying would affect
