What does the rainbow mean to you?
Macyn Key
Rainbows can have many different meanings to many people. To me, a rainbow represents hope. It shows that, even after trouble, things can always get better. Rainbows cannot be made without the rain falling first. This symbolizes how, even in nature, beauty is always seen better after a storm.
By Mr. McSween
Many things; first, a literal representation would be of light and therefore the sense of sight. On a personal level, it represents a good excuse to stop whatever is going on in my house, and get my 4-year-old totally pumped to see a cool and somewhat rare natural phenomenon, and gain an appreciation for science and the beauty of the earth. Finally, on a social level, the rainbow represents the LBGTQ community and the most pressing civil rights issues in our country today. It makes me hopeful that my students’ generation will be more accepting than my parents and marriage rights, as well as all rights, will be available to all Americans.
