Symbolism is when an author wants to suggest a certain mood or emotion. It can enrich a literary work or give color and can make the meaning of the work deeper.

Symbolism can take many forms including:

  • A figure of speech where an object, person, or situation has another meaning other than its literal meaning.
  • The actions of a character, word, action, or event that have a deeper meaning in the context of the whole story.

So, the statement provides the best analysis of the symbolism in the passage is B. The cars suggest the carelessness and recklessness of the upper class.

In all examples, we have an equation:

subject = noun phrase (what?)

               adjective (how?)

               adverbial (when? where? how? etc.)

To define if a subject complement is a noun phrase or an adjective, we always think of the main word:

like a nice man (noun phrase because everything modifies the noun MAN)

uncommonly thrifty (<em>uncommonly</em> modifies <em>thrifty</em> so it is an adjective).
