Question

You have just read “Eraser Tattoo” by Jason Reynolds. How does the symbol of Dante’s scar develop the theme?

Answer 1

The scar symbol reinforces the theme that when love is true and pure, it will last forever, no matter what.

We can arrive at this answer because:

• The theme of a text refers to the message that the text wants to convey.
• In “Eraser Tattoo” we are introduced to a couple of friends Shay and Dante who love each other.
• However, they need to split up, as Shay needs to follow her dreams of working with marine life.
• She doesn't want to be separated from Dante, nor he from her, but the separation is inevitable.
• For this reason, Shay gives Dante an S-shaped eraser tattoo.
• She does this because the eraser tattoo is eternal, it will accompany Dante forever, making him always remember her and always have something of her with him.

The tattoo eraser is eternal, as well as the love between the two young people, which will remain even with the passage of time and the distance between them.
