Reading Response toThe Guilded Six-Bits
This story represents a lot of symbolism. The Guilded Six-Bits referring to money gilded (painted over) to make it look as if it was worth more than it was to make people believe you were wealthy.
Also, the reference: You makin' feet for shoes is a interesting narrative description of a woman being pregnant. This is the first time I have ever heard this term referring to pregnancy.
The candy kisses in the story symbolize sweetness of love Joe has for his wife Missy May even after he caught her in the act of adultery with a stranger in their bed.
