What is a symbol in your personal or public world? Be sure to explain meaning your symbol and respond to others!
Please respond to the week's topic by Monday. Happy blogging!
![]() Symbols add meaning to objects in our world. We find them in stories when a writer chooses to focus on some "thing" repeatedly. It could be Ponyboy's hair, a rare necklace, a lighthouse, a letter of the alphabet, an old baseball glove, or even just a color. As a society, we create symbols as a form of communication. And when we see these symbols, we instantly know the meaning attached to them- (flags, brands, and even our text messages :) What is a symbol in your personal or public world? Be sure to explain meaning your symbol and respond to others!

I Love the JD symbol because my dad went here and my older brother too. When my dad went to JD my grandfather was the Principal for the Middle school and the High school. Eventually my grandfather was the Superintendent of the district. The sad thing is that when my mom and dad were dating he died from some kind of cancer.

The American Flag is special to me because it represents a time in my life that I can never forget. The time when began to realize how much music means to me, and how much I enjoy it. I think of an American Flag because the song that made me realize this was a patriotic song.

Symbols in my life have to do with images that keep flashing in my head. I see a fox that leaves a trail of fire from its tail and body. This image is where i get my username on websites and games: Foxfire72. Also, sometimes I can see a black pegasus, spreading her majestic wings, about to take flight. The fox image represents courage and bravery and the pegasus represents that even the most beautiful and true creatures have a darker side to them, even if it rarely comes out. I have a lot of personal symbols in my life.

A symbol in my life is a blue ribbon from one of my horseback riding competitive events. This is a symbol for me because I've been riding since I was four, and when I see it, I'm reminded of how I won it, and the look on my instructors face when I got it. I'm also reminded of how surprised I was considering all the other riders I was competing against were all older than me by at least three years.

A symbol for me would be a macaron or a butterfly. A macaron because I love sweets. A butterfly for me means that I like to be free and let my imagination go wild like how a butterfly can fly as far as it wants because of how much freedom the butterflies have.

There is a symbol in Harry Potter. It is the core in Harry and Voldemort's wands. Since they are the same, the two wands have a connection. So do Harry and Voldemort, because part of Voldemort's soul is in Harry.

One symbol [the only one] that I could think of is the Target symbol. When I was little and we went to Target I knew that it was Target that we were going to because of the symbol that was on the building and on the floor in the entrance.

One symbol that I personally love, is the orange tiger on the Frosted Flakes cereal box. Whenever I see him bouncing around in a commercial, online, or in an ad, I automatically think of Frosted Flakes! (Plus his well known, ¨Grrrrrr-eat!")

A symbol in my personal world would be a baseball. I chose a baseball because that is my favorite sport and my favorite thing outside of family and friends. For me baseball is like my achilles heel if I lose it I don't know what I'll do. That’s why I believe a baseball symbolizes me.

One symbol in my life that's important to me is a crow. I know it's really cliche, but it's true. It reminds me that something that can be dark and scary can soar beautifully. It shows me to soar higher than my expectations, and to not think about what others think of me.

A symbol that represents me and my world is a palm tree. A palm tree represents me because it reminds me of my home in Florida. Florida is my home away from home. My family and I live there every school break, either for weeks or for months at a time.

Pumpkins are one symbol in my life that represent Halloween. Halloween was scary when I was little but now it's not scary at all. Some memories that I have was when one year I was a hippie while last year I was a bumblebee. One year I spent Halloween with my best friend Rina who was fun to go trick of treating with. The many pumpkins in my neighborhood are symbols of Halloween.

I have a few symbols in my life. One would be a paintbrush, because of my love for art. I think another symbol would have to be a music note, because of all the dubstep and other music I really like. (Life dream: become a DJ!) But I think one of my most important symbol in my life is a wolf. Wolves are my favorite animals, and if I had a spirit animal, it would probably be a wolf. This is because once, when I was at the zoo, a wolf looked up at me and howled. Yes, howled! Then, it trotted away. I also love writing about wolves (just look in Ramblings and you'll see what I mean). These are a few symbols in my life; sorry this was so long! :)
