Blazer Symbolism

  • The Laurinda blazer represents belonging and fitting in at the school, but it also makes Lucy feel like she has to act like everyone else, even though she feels different.

 

  • It shows the difference between Lucy, who comes from a less wealthy background, and the rich students at Laurinda. The blazer also shows the danger of losing who she really is, as the school wants everyone to be the same.

 

  • Overall, the blazer reminds Lucy of the pressure to fit in while trying to stay true to hers.
