Television, I'm afraid, has isolated us more than race, class, or ethnicity
(Paul Fleischman)
I stood tall and scouted. No one was sleeping on the old couch in the middle. I'd never entered the lot before, or wanted to. I did so now, picking my way between tires and trash bags. I nearly stepped on two rats gnawing and froze. Then I told myself that I must show my bravery. I continued farther and chose a spot far from the sidewalk and hidden from view by a rusty refrigerator. I had to keep my project safe.
In the book "Seedfolks," a metaphor is the garden representing the community coming together and growing from the diversity of its members, just like plants growing from the same patch of soil. Another metaphor is the planting of seeds symbolizing the hope and potential for positive change and growth in the characters' lives.

How does the garden itself become a metaphor for what happens amoung its members?
In the book "Seedfolks" by Paul Fleischman, Wendell is described as being of African American descent.
An example of a metaphor in "Seedfolks" could be when a character refers to the garden as a "patchwork of stories" to describe how each individual plot represents a different person's unique experience and background.
Ana is from Romania. She is one of the characters in the book "Seedfolks" by Paul Fleischman.

Virgil plants beans in the community garden in the book Seedfolks. He is an elderly man who wants to connect with the land and his ancestry through gardening.
Virgil from the book, "SeedFolks" is a boy. Paul Fleischman personally thought Virgil as a boy, thinking Virgil simply was a boy's name.
