SYMBOLS MAY BE EXPRESSED AS WORDS OR PICTURES A flag for country (“the flag”) Red Razorback for the University of Arkansas An X at the end of a letter for a kiss XXX (“smack!”) “Spring” as the symbol of new beginnings A slash line through a sign for NO, as in “No Parking.”

You’ve seen symbols… A dove is typically a symbol of peace A skull and crossbones is a symbol of danger A crow is often a symbol of death A heart is a symbol of love A light bulb is a symbol of understanding or getting an idea

You’ve seen symbols in words… “Thank You, Ma’am” The blue suede shoes symbolize Roger’s love of material possessions…his immaturity is shown as well. “Sound of Thunder” The butterfly Eckels steps on symbolizes the fragility of nature, and how man inevitably destroys things when he tinkers…

Or these? “Gift of the Magi” Della’s hair represents her endless beauty. Jim’s watch represents his close ties to family. “The Lady, or the Tiger?” The arena symbolizes the king’s warped sense of justice. The lady symbolizes innocence and freedom, while the tiger symbolizes guilt and punishment.
