Cover Thoughts: Part 1
This section extraordinarily answered the questions that had popped up throughout the book. When i began reading Heartbeat, i always wanted to know the meaning behind the cover. I never truly knew why there was an apple on the front and I was sure that a heartbeat and an apple didn't go together, until i read on. I've noticed how much Annie has come to appreciate the little, everyday details that lurk around her. Now she has taken into consideration that the seemingly "meaningless" things that surround her can become more eloquent, even more than one could imagine. She first discovered this concept when she received the apple drawing project in art. Annie looked at the same apple so many different ways - as it first struck her vision in the art room until it wilted away from the bites of her grandfather. However, every time seemed different to her and i noticed that she took something so small - such as an apple - and turned it into something worth going deeper into. After discovering how intricate and deep Annie was, i finally knew what the apple on the front represented: that life could be as simple as an apple and that you could take something so simple and make it so intricate - like Annie did. You can take life and look at it in the same way, every day, or you can take it and turn it every which way to look deeper into it and understand how intricate and meaningful it can be.
