Symbolism

Well guys,
I've finished reading Twisted.
I must say it was an awesome book.
And the ending of this book was much better than the last book I read.

So in this blog entry
I want to talk about symbolism.
In this book Tyler plays a game where he has to get the "Gormley" through many levels of hell.
I think that this game has a deeper significance that just a game.
As Tylers life gets worse and worse his "Gormley" travels deeper and deeper into hell.
When Tylers life is rocked by allegations of lewd acts,
his "Gormley" goes all the way back to the beggining of the game because he lost so many lives.

Near the end of the book when Tyler is cleared of the allegations and gets things cleared with his dad
his "Gormley" breaks free from hell and is given a choice to become the prince of darkness or to just stay free.

I hadn't even realized why "Gormley" was even in the book.
I thought it was just something added into the book to be funny.
I realize now what significance it had.
"Gormley" changed consecutively as Tylers life went through different phases.

And anyone out there
READ THIS BOOK!
its really cool.
I think any teenager would enjoy and relate to it.

So this gormley thing isn't a real thing? It's like his personalitly or something I'm guessing.
Is this book fantasy or something? It seems like an interesting book. Is the game a video game or a real your accually playing game? Did that make sense?
