In literature, the term "scrap" assumes a wide range of meanings, from denoting small fragments—like a scrap of parchment or paper used to convey a fleeting thought or serve as a physical memento [1], [2], [3]—to referring to a modest piece of land or remnants of material culture [4], [5]. At times, it is even employed as a proper name for a character whose actions and observations unfold within the narrative [6], [7]. Moreover, "scrap" can suggest something discarded or of little value, as when it describes the remains of objects or ideas barely worth salvaging [8], [9]. This semantic versatility allows authors to exploit both the literal and metaphorical dimensions of the word, enriching their imagery and highlighting contrasts between the insignificant and the essential within their works.
