Symbolism in books


Question Posted Saturday April 15 2006, 8:41 pm

I can't get symbolism in books. Is there anything that can help? In Barnes and Noble there is a section with SAT books and Cliff Notes books and I saw one on Psychology. Do you think that will help?

Symbolism is kinda....self taught I would say. Speak with others about their thoughts on certain things -books mostly have a lot of symbolism-

Just read a lot of material, you'll start to pick it out yourself. Just think of certian events in books, think about any symbolism they might have. Soon you'll catch on.

symbolism kinda has to be figured out by itself. but cliff notes would definetly help you see the main point. i read "THE PEARL" by john steinback-definetly tons of symbolism, and if you wana practice with that-that would definetly help you see the points in it. not that difficult to read but so many things that you wouldnt catch that are symbolic to real life. the story sucks if you dont get the symbolism, otherwise its quite well written.

Cliffs notes would be a good guide to use while reading a book. They would help point out the meaning of certain ideas or themes in a book. I think that the more you read, the better you get at this sort of thing.
