SYMBOLISM
Another object is the costumes. August loved to wear costumes on Halloween because he could hide his face behind them. It was the only time he could walk with his head up and didn't have to look down at the floor. Nobody would notice his face so he could be himself and not worry about them looking at his face and being afraid.
