Symbolism is used to express or represent ideas or qualities. Look around your environment or think about the symbols you encounter on a daily basis. They could include a stop sign, an app icon on your phone, a team mascot, and even the US flag. We see and use symbols every day. When you look for symbolic meaning behind an object, character, or even colors, you begin to see how symbols represent something bigger and more abstract. For example, the tree in A Separate Peace by John Knowles symbolizes Gene's childhood memory. It takes him back to when he and his friends took risks without thinking about the consequences. Pick an object that you feel symbolizes your life or a specific time in your life. What symbol would best represent you? Explain your reasoning.
