Post #2 - Symbol

A symbol is is the use of a widely recognized object to represent an idea. It is something that represents more than itself. A symbol is usually carried out the novel and has a deeper meaning than the actual object itself. There can be multiply symbols for one idea. For example in The Piano Lesson an important symbol is the piano which symbolizes more than just a piano but something deeper than that. The U.S flag is an important symbol in our country which symbolizes nationalism, patriotism.
