Symbol

What is a symbol? A symbol is an object with deeper inner meaning than the object itself is made out to be.
Why do we need symbols? We use symbols to show deeper feeling than can be further expressed. It brings to poetry a stronger emotion. It may even make feelings easier to understand.
How can we use symbols? Today in popular culture there are many uses of symbolism. For example, in the phenomonon The Hunger Games, Katniss Everdeen is the mockingjay, or the symbol for rebellion.
