Symbolism is when something represents a bigger idea. Symbolism is when symbols represent themes.
Figurative Language
Symbolism is a form of figurative language. Figurative language is used mainly by literature to express a complex idea by using figurative meanings. When an author uses symbolism they do not intend for their words to be taken literally.
Other forms of figurative language include
- Idioms
- Metaphors
- Similes
- Hyperboles
In all of these examples, including symbolism, an author uses nonliteral definitions to convey more complex thought processes that can be connected to the real world. Figurative language, especially symbolism, can help an author establish a theme and universal connection.
Definition of Symbolism
Symbolism is used to connect objects and people in stories to real-life ideas. There are famous examples of symbolism that can be seen in multiple different stories. For example, swans are usually seen as a symbol of peace, and roses are symbols of love. In these examples, authors have used the nonliteral definitions of swans and roses to connect the objects to ideas that affect everyone's life.
Famous Uses of Symbolism
<u>How to Kill a Mockingbird</u> is a famous book that is filled with symbolism. One of the main symbols in the book is the Mockingbird. The Mockingbird represents innocence.
"Romeo and Juliet" also uses symbolism. In the play, Queen Mab represents the dreams and desires of the characters in the story.
Answer:
The author couldn't follow his dreams because of the job market failure. He was an English major and wanted to be a writer but couldn't get the job. He tried for several months to get a job with no luck until he heard about an opening in a newspaper business. Nobody wanted the job so he took it. He didn't believe he could be a reporter because he never thought about it before. He wanted to write, not ask questions.
The failure of the job market shaped a motivator externally in the short story. If the job market was thriving, he would have probably found a writing job somewhere else instead of the reporter job he took. He would have never found his true passion for reporting with the failure.

The Chairman,
Osisioma Ngwa Local Government Area,
Aba.
Sir,
REQUEST FOR SOCIAL AMENITIES IN UMUNGASI COMMUNITY
It is on record that Umungasi stands in a prominent position among all the communities in Aba. This is because of the inclination of Umungasi Community to commerce and industry.
Unfourtunately, the people of Umungasi have found it difficult to carry on with trade due to poor road network and lack of basic amenities.
There is no standard road in Umungasi and environs. This has unfournately separated us from people in other Local Government Areas of the state.
Electricity and pipe borne water are other unfortunately absent amenities in Umungasi here.
I humbly request that you come to our aid speedily so that the community can experience the true dividends of good governance.
Thanks in anticipation of your positive response.
Yours Faithfully,
Jude Njoku
