Comments on: 081/100 aka 221/365 https://susangibb.net/blog3/?p=399 Flash Fiction by Susan Gibb Fri, 10 Mar 2023 03:46:20 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.7.1 By: susan https://susangibb.net/blog3/?p=399#comment-407 Fri, 12 Aug 2011 12:50:11 +0000 http://susangibb.net/blog3/?p=399#comment-407 Hmm, no, I don’t think the hornworm has any symbolic meaning except perhaps a it’s physical appearance…

But what I find so interesting about your comment is how well it illustrates the theory of reader taking over the writing, putting his/her own spin on things based on a body of learned experiences.
