NOTE: Please let your partners know when they have reached the climax of your book so that they can use the Climax Comment Topic. We will no longer be listing it on the rounds as the club has grown so large it is hard to keep track. Thank you.

COMMENT TOPIC:

Symbolism in writing involves use of a place, animal, person, or thing to convey complicated themes or ideas. Well known examples from literature include Shakespeare's use of Yorick's skull to represent life, death, and fate (reference site: http://writingexplained.org/grammar-dictionary/symbolism). Did the author use symbolism in the book and if so, how? Min. length: 6 sentences. Please post in the last chapter of this week's assignment.
