There are many examples of symbolism in this book. One of my favorite examples is at the ending page where the grandfather and baby are looking at Annie's drawing of a seed. She desribes it as old and new, silent and full of secrets. The seed symbolizes a child full of opportunity. The seed symbolizes a whole life ahead; a whole flower ahead. The book excerpt is on pg.180.
My Favorite Poem
My favorite poem is Infinintely Joey. This is my favorite poem because it expresses the joys and fears of getting a new sibling. It expresses the curiousity and excitement of waiting to see what something so little and seemingly insignfigant will be when it grows and blooms.
I love this poem because I can relate to it with my siblings. I remember those same thoughts racing through my head when I looked at my baby sister. This is on pg.158.

Climax:
This book reminds me of the world because everyone to learn the balance of the world. The balance between life and death, change and preservation, and young and old. Everyone lives and dies and there is always a seedling to take the place of the elders. The seedling will carry on the traditions and hope and dreams of the seniors and add their own. They too, will work to make the world a better place like their ancestors.
Annie's baby brother is due and about to be born but when he comes out he isn't breathing.
Conclusion:
Annie learns how to except the changes in life good or bad and she learns how to embrace the things she cherishes like her family.

Connotations
There are no allusions found in the book Heartbeat.
An example of a connotation in the book Heartbeat is on page 7 where the book says alien. When I think of aliens, I think of fear, curiosity, mystery, and of course a little green bug with huge coal eyes and an antenna!
