1. an author writes a poem about a dove dying but his real meaning is the loss of peace. the dove is an example of
a. simile
b. analogy
c. symbol
d. oxymoron

2. which best conveys the tone of blakes poem "the lamb"?
a. complex
b. dark
c. care free

1.The correct answer here is C. Symbol in literature is used as a metaphor to express a certain meaning. The word does not express its usual meaning like here, dove is not a dove but peace. In symbolism words are imbued with much deeper meaning. Symbols are very dependent on the context in which they appear but there are symbols we use in everyday life like the rose stands for love.

2. The correct answer here is D. The pervading theme and the feel of the poem “The Lamb” is innocence which Blake masterfully conveys through his imagery. This poem belongs to his collection “Songs of Innocence and Experience”. The poem appears in the “Songs of Innocence” section. “The Lamb” if often contrasted with the poem “The Tyger” which is its counterpart in the “Songs of Experience” as both deal with the question of God.
