"The Grandfather" Three meanings of the tree paragraph

“The Grandfather” Three meanings of the tree paragraph


The most symbolic item in the “Grandfather” by Gary Soto is the avocado tree. The avocado tree represents the grandfather. The grandfather work so hard to plant and care for the avocado tree. After the grandfather dies the narrator takes over the tree and as the narrator grows so does the tree. Also the tree represents the family. Each tree branch represents one person of the family. The tree grew so much that the narrator said that each family member on each others shoulders wouldn’t even be as big as the avocado tree.
