According to Wikipedia, a symbol is a mark, sign, or word that indicates, signifies, or is understood as representing an idea, object, or relationship. Symbols allow us to go beyond what is known or seen by creating links between concepts and experiences. They help create a better understanding of the plot, theme, or characters in literature. For example, Lord of the Flies, by William Golding consists of several symbols. The novel is about a group of British boys who are stranded on an island with nothing but their knowledge of human civilization. They try to create a society of their own, but it begins to subside as they descend into savagery. Symbols like the conch, the beast, or the painted masks help reveal their true nature. However, the most important symbol is the fire. Golding uses the fire to paradoxically represent savagery, destruction and most significantly hope of rescue. He describes the fire as technology that menaces destruction if it gets out of control, yet ironically it also symbolizes the boys’ connection to human civilization.

Symbolism is used in many ways and writers use symbolism to “enhance their writing.” It can give their work “more richness and color and can make the meaning of the work deeper.” In literary work the actions of the characters, words, action, place, or event has a deeper meaning in the context of the whole story. The reader needs to look see the little things like a dove symbolizes peace, or like the red rose stands for romance. Mostly everything can have a symbolism meaning to it. For instance the flag symbolizes freedom and the stars represent the states. Even some signs are symbols like when a beaker has a skull with a bones placed like an ‘x’ behind it symbolizes that it’s toxic or bad. When people see the red light when driving that’s

Each symbol is used to build a way of foreshadowing the journey from the once overruled society of technology and the lack of independent thought to the rebirth and reflection into a positive human-focused society. There are numerous symbols used in this novel, some tie into each other as well.

     I’m thinking that the author’s main use of these symbols probably suggest that she was pushing the theme of the story. That we, the readers, could possibly understand what the whole purpose of this story meant. The symbols were clues into deeper understandings of the story and how

The novel, the Outsiders by S.E. Hilton has many symbols to represent characters and events. There are many struggles throughout the story. Johnny killing Bob and when Darry slapped Ponyboy causing both boys to run away. The symbols gold, the sunsets, and Gone with the Wind.

There are many different symbols that you may not see in your everyday life. A symbol is an object that represents an idea. In the first part last, there are symbols almost everywhere in the book.

A symbol is an object an author uses to represent something within a story. It can move the story along, foreshadow what will happen next, and develop characters. In ¨The Scarlet Ibis,” James Hurst uses symbols like the scarlet ibis and the storm to show the progression of Doodle’s illness and foreshadow his death.

A good example of these symbols is the titles of the three different parts of the book. These symbols relate directly to the book instead of real life. These three parts are The Hearth and the Salamander, The Sieve and the Sand, and Burning Bright. The Hearth and the Salamander, for example, deals with Montag's struggle at his home and with himself. The Hearth and the Salamander deals with this because the hearth is a symbol of the home and a salamander will get rid of its own tail and grow it back which is what Montag is doing with his life.The Sieve and the Sand deals with Montag struggling with remembering the knowledge he has been cramming into his head. He can't remember anything about what he has read, just like how a sieve can't hold any sand that is put in it. The Hearth and the Salamander deals with Montag's struggle at his home and with himself. Burning Bright deals with Montag destroying his old life and starting again. He does this by burning his old life

For instance Melinda’s thanksgiving turkey bone sculpture is a clear symbol of her family troubles and her tree in Mr. Freemen’s class changed further on in the book due to her slowly opening up and coming back to humanity a symbol in the first stage of her tree that she drew with a dead branch is symbolizing its ability to regrow and her need to regrow her social status and mental state. I think these two symbols sort of connect to each other because as Melinda’s relation with her family grows so does her tree and the better her social status gets the better her tree starts looking. Melinda's art is full of symbols because some people say art comes from the soul and Melinda put her soul then some into her art I guess you can say her art tells a little

It takes us awhile to move on but each and every day it ends up being a little better. Oakley went through this in my book she lost her brother which was also her best friend.

Such symbols include hands to represent labour, cards to signify chance and taking a risk, and finally, rabbits to suggest ideas about achieving one’s hopes and dreams. Symbols are a key central device in delivering meaning, as they consistently repeated throughout the narrative and are typically associated with the novella’s many characters.

Symbolism in literature is used to give an entirely different meaning which is more significant and much deeper to a story using objects representing other objects and giving them a sense that is different from their literal meaning. The meaning of the symbols used to depend on the reader, and there is no universal meaning for symbols used because their purpose is inherent in the symbol itself. In both stories, the authors use symbols to give different meanings to their story.
