    Perseverance is essential for success in this world. This is what I think the authors of the two books I read were trying to tell the readers in their stories, ‘The Giver’ by Lois Lowry and ‘Legend’ by Marie Lu.

    Lowry uses light eyes to symbolize the depth of potent emotions, such as familial love, and how important they are to form a family. When Jonas first sees Gabriel, he is able to see the depth that both of their light eyes contain.

Depth…” (21). This shows that the eyes hold depth, which allows them to perceive the world in a different manner than others with the normal, dark eyes.…
