In the passage above, the symbol that most clearly elaborates the theme of hope is Mindy watering the flower box even though there are no sprouts yet on it. This is a symbol of hope because Mindy is performing an action that has yet not given any fruits that can be seen, but she carries on performing this action in hopes, precisely, that the plant will grow: this gives Mindy a sense of hope, it makes her days manageable and carries her through her days.
