The symbols from nature provided so much to the depth of the story.

Growing up in a Mexican household, the owl has always been associated with brujas or witchcraft. Seeing it in a positive light helped underscore the theme of both light and dark having balance that was discussed in the novel. I was taught an owl was something to fear but I like that it is not seen as that in this story.
