What we mean by that is that we can look at something — let's say, the color red — and conclude that it represents not the color red itself but something beyond it: for example, passion, or love, or devotion.

Why does this matter?

This matters because I can symbolize things in the story like if someone wants to jump off a cliff and they keep asking there friends for a map on how to climb a mountain or how to get to the tallest mountain, that symbolizes that he will probably jump off a mountain ]]> 2022-05-05 16:31:57 UTC https://padlet.com/mmarquette/modwwb5x9se7v8m6/wish/2171726254 https://padlet.com/mmarquette/modwwb5x9se7v8m6/wish/2171726262 Dialogue is a conversation between two or more people as a feature of a book, play, or movie.
