John Dies at the End Again!

I'm going to make symbols for the two main characters in John Dies at the End!

David: The symbol I am giving David Wong, the narrative of John Dies at the End, is my dad's old washing machine. David, like my father's old washing machine, is not the most impressive, and doesn't exceed in any one area. In school, he got below average grades and now is working a low-paying job at a local video store. He is also similar to my dad's washing machine because he describes himself as kinda ugly and wouldn't be most people's first choice. My dad's washing machine is really plain looking and so is David. Another similarity is that both sometimes have problems functioning. Sometimes I get really confused when using my dad's washing machine, and it causes problems because I have to go get my dad to help me. David has had behavior problems in the past, and is kinda crazy, and the book says he got sent to special classes for misbehaving students, and then was eventually expelled. Lastly, David and the washing machine are similar to each other because even though they both look like pieces of junk, they are both very reliable. The washing machine has never broken down, and I can always count on it to make my H&M clothes nice and fresh. David is reliable in that even though he may have messed up in high school, he always goes to his job on time and rarely misses days, and is always looking after his best friend John, who has even more issues than David does!                                                                                                                                        
This washing machine is David!


John: The symbol I am giving John is sushi. John, like sushi, is very adventurous. A lot of people are afraid to try sushi, just like how a lot of people are too scared to do what John does. This trait is in many ways a positive trait, but also sometimes lands John in dangerous situations, for example, drugs. Which brings me to my next reason, that both sushi and John can be toxic. Sometimes when sushi isn't fresh it can make you very sick. The book makes John sounds like he uses occasional drugs, not enough to be an addict but certainly enough to be dangerous, which poisons John just like the unlucky fellow who buys his sushi from gas stations. Lastly, John is similar to sushi because the people that know John love him, and he is a very fun and social guy, just like how most people who have tried sushi love it, and the many sushi restaurants that exist bring these sushi-lovers together for sushi social events. I tried sushi, and loved it, and now I am a regular sushi eater. John is very charismatic and a really fun guy, and I think if I were to meet him in person I would recognize that he has issues, but also really like being around him and enjoy his fun personality.

This potentially dangerous sushi is John!
