Metaphor. Figuratively, The holocaust
of the destroyed Fitzgerald family
began with the cancer. Literally,
Jesse’s fires began with a match.
Arson fires are purposely set.
Literally, Jesse starts fires. Kate
started the “fire” of the case, which
ultimately collapsed the family and led
to Anna’s death.

The kidney is the object attained
by Sara and protected by Anna
(and Kate). It represents Anna’s

it ultimately becomes the only

You could apply Anna to this. She certainly had an
unusual birth. Her destiny was to provide for her
sister. Her flaw? Well, according to Greek legend, it is
usually pride. But Anna does not have this flaw. If
anything, she is too selfless. She certainly had a quest
with this trial. Her romantic element? Well she had a
crush on a kid named Kyle. Her reward? To save Kate
and be remembered as a hero? What other characters
apply to this model?
