Response to The Road Home
                                              
          The Road Home has a lot of symbolism throughout the entire film. The object that I am choosing to focus on is the blue and white ceramic bowl that Di uses for all of her cooking. She uses this bowl everyday while the school is being built in hopes that Mr. Luo will pick her bowl and fall in love with her cooking. This bowl is such a huge form of symbolism throughout the movie because it follows along with their love story. When Mr. Luo had to go back to the city and Di was chasing after him with the bowl, she dropped it and it broke into many pieces. Just like her heart broke into many pieces when he left. For many months the bowl remained broken, as did she until her mother had the bowl repaired. It was around this time or shortly after that Mr. Luo came back to Di.
