Acesso em:.https://bdm.ufpa.br/handle/prefix/5697This work aims to analyze how the Native North American writer Tommy Orange used the symbol of the spider's web to draw a metaphor in the narrative of his book “There There” (2016). By exploring authors like Hertha D Wong (2009), Carol Patterson-Rudolph (1997) and Katarzyna and Sergiusz Michalski (2010), it was possible to analyze the work of Tommy Orange from a perspective supported by theoretical support. In particular, this analysis focuses on the use of the spider's web and its cultural symbolic qualities towards Native American peoples, and its transformation into a metaphor rooted intricately within the narrative. The three characters chosen for the discussion present their respective internal struggles that dialogue with the proposed with the spider web, from this perspective, this analysis - based on the bibliographical research method - was performed in order to obtain a better understanding and other interpretations about the book.Acesso AbertoTeia de AranhaMetáforaNarrativaSpiderWebMetaphorNarrativeCNPQ::LINGUISTICA, LETRAS E ARTES::LETRASTrabalho de Curso - Graduação - Artigo
