Symbolism

     One day a kid named Dave got mad at another kid named Josh. Their wasn't any particular reason he got angry, Dave just wanted to yell at someone. People gathered around to see if a fight would happen. They knew that these two got in a lot of fights. This Kid named Sara, who was one of Josh's friends, tried to get Dave to calm down but Dave wouldn't listen. There was another kid named Simon who didn't really know the Josh or Dave. Also there was a kid named Peter who was really smart and made straight A's. Peter stepped in between Josh and Dave and tried to calm the two of them down with logic and reason. This almost worked but Josh had already gotten too mad to calm down. Josh pushed Peter out of the way. Dave saw his chance and took a swing at Josh and hit him in the nose. Josh immediately started swinging back. But the kid named Simon decided to step in. First he punched Josh and then turned around and punched Dave. He told both of them to back off and to leave. Just like that the fight was over.
     In life we can't solve every thing through peace and knowledge. It is true that somethings can be solved that way like splitting a candy bar or paying someone so they'll leave you alone. But there are some cases where everyone is so fired up no one will back down and they will keep fighting until the quarrel ends one way or another. In the story you could see the two evils which were Josh and Dave. First Sara who represented peace tried to get them to calm down so that there wouldn't be a fight, but she was ignored. Then Peter who represented intelligence and wisdom tried to use logic to stop them from fighting. Both times the fight wasn't stopped. The Fight ended up happening and was going to keep happening till one of the two evils was beaten. But Simon who represented light/dark, yin/yang, good/bad, could have sat there and watched instead used the evil inside of him to stop the fight which was good. It is people like him who get things done. People who sometimes have to do bad things for good reasons who can change the world.
