Answer:

Symbols take the form of words, sounds, gestures, ideas, or visual images and are used to convey other ideas and beliefs.

Explanation:

For example, a red octagon is a common symbol for "STOP"; on maps, blue lines often represent rivers; and a red rose often symbolizes love and compassion.

In literature, symbols are often characters, settings, images, or other motifs that stand in for bigger ideas. Authors often use symbols (or “symbolism”) to give their work with more meaning and to make a story be about more than the events it describes.
