- What are some of the concepts that color yellow symbolizes? Do some research: there are superstitions, cultural prejudices, medical connotations associated with this color. Chose just one concept (e.g. “Summer” or “Illness”). Find one reliable PRIMARY or SECONDARY source that testifies to the symbolism of the yellow color. Properly cite the source, both throughout your response and at the end, as on the Work Cited page. Write a reading response explaining how the concept of your choice figures in the story through the color yellow.
A PRIMARY source is an immediate, first-hand account of a topic, from people who had a direct connection with it. Example: this collection of myths could serve as a primary source:
Ferguson, Diana. Tales of the Plumed Serpent: Aztec, Inca and Mayan Myths. Collins & Brown, 2000.
A SECONDARY source: Covers same topics as the primary one, but adds a layer of interpretation, like in this article on Mayas and sex.
Braakhuis, H.E.M. “The Way of All Flesh. Sexual Implications of the Mayan Hunt.” Anthropos 96: 391–409., 2001, www.jstor.org/stable/40465548.

Answer preview
In western culture, people do not like having much of yellow color around them because of its negative association. Similarly, Stetson portrayed the yellow color as a bad thing to have when Jennie said that they should be careful when handling the yellow paints to avoid yellow stains on their clothes (643). This statement shows the prejudice that people have on yellow color to a point where it does not fit to be in people’s clothes.
