Symbolism By: Michelle

Symbolism: symbolic meaning or character; The practice of representing things by means of symbols or of attributing symbolic meanings or significance to objects, events, or relationships. In the novel, on page 109, the chocolate bar Jeremiah shares with Ellie symbolizes the beginning of something new. The start of a new kind of relationship people rarely see or is not use to. It will be new to their families, some of their friends, school, people on the outside but they don't care once they are together. The chocolate bar also symbolizes sharing. It shows Jeremiah is willing to share with Ellie his life and what he has too. When they share their problems they both seem to feel better because then they know they are not alone.
