Yet in some stories, it is all the readers have to go off of and his extremely vital. In “The Flowers” and “Chrysanthemums” the authors so seamlessly insert one or two examples of symbolism into the text, so the instances were obvious enough to the readers but delicately placed therefore they were not obnoxious.

    One symbol that is in the book is, Linda. Linda was O’Brien’s first love. After she died, his day dreams provided him images of her which made him just miss her more and feel more alone. For example, in the story it states, “Nothing much came to me. I remember closing my eyes and whispering her name, almost begging, trying to make her come back. ‘Linda,’ I said, ‘please.’ And then I concentrated. I willed her alive. It was a dream, I suppose, or a day dream, but I made it happen. I saw her coming down the middle of the Main Street, all alone,” (O’ Brien 237). This is an example because he missed her so much and it shows that character that he is and was when her was with her. From this quote, it shows that Linda is the symbol for O’ Brien. Later, in the chapter of The Lives of The Dead, it states, "Dead, I said, Linda smiled it was a secret smile, as if she knew things nobody could ever know, and she reached out and touched my wrist and said, 'Timmy, stop crying. It doesn’t matter,’ " (O’ Brien 238). This is an example of symbolism because while O'Brien was talking about the story of Linda, his elementary school sweetheart whom he was in love with, who died from a brain tumor. However, remembering and repeating the stories she once told she died with a senseless death like all the other soldiers in Vietnam, as he tries to revive some sense into his own personal life. She is a symbol because she…

    The camellia is just one of the many examples of how Harper Lee displays symbolism in her book, To Kill a Mockingbird. The camellia is given to Jem from Mrs. Dubose after she dies. The meaning of this gift, however, is difficult to determine. I believe the gift could have a few different meanings such as a symbol of racism, simply being a kind gift, or reminding him to be brave and to stand up for what he believes in no matter what.…

    Janie strives to find love that makes her feel like she did that day under the pear tree. Further in the novel when Janie meets and marries Tea Cake, she compares him to nature in a positive way. Janie states that Tea Cake “could be a bee to a blossom- a pear tree blossom in the spring” (Hurston 106). This quote refers back to the pear tree which parallels to the passionate feeling Janie has been searching for. Instead of nature being used as a comparison for loveless marriages, it is being used to paint us a picture of how passionate and blissful Janie and Tea Cake’s marriage is. This brings back around the idea that the pear tree is constantly reoccurring throughout the novel to symbolize Janie’s growth as a woman.…

    With that in mind, let me conclude that all these symbols add to the understanding we take from the novel. The Green Light on Daisy's dock represents the American Dream, we aim to achieve it and no matter how hard we try it is always out of our reach. The Valley of Ashes represents as a sobering foil to the dreamy opulence of East and West Egg. The eyes of T.J. Eckleburg represents the corruption of American citizens.
