1. In Dandelion Wine the most commonly used metaphor of the novel is the creation of the wine which becomes a distillation of the warm summer days. The concept of the dandelion wine being bottled and stored is so that even on the coldest days of winter they'd have a piece of summer with them.
2. Leo Auffman's wife is very skeptical of her husbands attempted invention of the " Happiness Machine" because she feels it's impossible to make. Mrs. Auffman is usually skeptical about his inventions anyway.
3. The significance of the ravine story is to show the readers the horrors of living in a small town. The ravine is where the towns people meet the wilderness
4. No, I don't think it's right for Mrs. Bentley to deny her past but I understand why she did, she felt as if she couldn't prove it to the young girls any more than she already had.Even after she gave them her childhood treasures they didn't believe her.
5. Every event Douglas and Tom wrote there was a moral to be learned in them. But eventually they discover many things about their neighborhood and it overwhelmed them.
6.Yes, she kills him with a pair of sewing scissors.
7.Douglas starts to get sick because of all the depressing things that happened, hes coming to find out that bad things happen all the time, even in the summer. There are deaths, divorces, fights, etc. A man named Mr. Jonahs gives him a bottle of winter air that's cures him.
8. The summer of 1928 doesn't truly end because of the wine stored in the basement that brings back summer days.
