Symbolim

             Tim left school and headed to his grandparents' as he usually did on Thursday afternoons. He continued to reflect on the day and listened to music. As he passed by a park, he noticed his neighbor's son, Joe, who was older than him and much bigger. He suddenly found himself stopping to see the group of people playing basketball. He then froze as he realized Joe was calling him to play against him.

              Tim finally was grabbed and pulled onto the court. He was not good at basketball at all in the past which made him worry. Joe would not stop taunting him in the beginning as he got a lead up onto the score. As the game was almost over, Tim decided to step up. He made shot after shot leading the score to only two points down. Tim got the ball and made the three pointer to win the game right in front of Joe. He left the park with more confidence and the defeat of someone in which many people feared.

Tim is David while Joe is Goliath in the story. This gives the inference of the small boy who eventually defeated the large man in a battle in which everyone would think Goliath would win.
