Answer:
America symbolizes freedom and a new life.
Explanation:
I haven't read the Tears of Autumn, but typically in any story, migrating to America means the start of a new life for people. If you've ever heard of the phrase, "The American Dream", it means that people come here for the opportunities and jobs. Japan does not have as much freedom as America, therefore it represents a chance to start again with new opportunities and freedom.
Because its referring to you. And when you refer to someone or yourself you capitalize. Its also part of a proper noun.
I was recently interviewed by a local publication that features a person who has had a defining moment in his/her life, a milestone moment which led to change in his/her perspective/lifestyle/goals. I described the moment when I went on my first mountain climb in 2012 as part of a spiritual climb that changed my life and started my love for the outdoors. I did it with my son in darkness, nothing distracting me except for the stars above. Every step was a prayer, every breath a worship.
2015 did not exactly get off to a good start as I had faced the first few days of the new year mourning the loss of a family member. I thought that it was a good opportunity for me to spend some time back into the arms of nature, contemplating life and some reflections to set the year ahead straight – just like my very first climb.
