Symbol: a thing, person, or idea that stands for something else. Some symbols become iconic, that is,
so well known that they’re an accepted part of culture. Ex: water is a symbol of purity and or rebirth.
Understatement: saying less than the situation warrants. The contrast illuminates the truth.
Create an annotation symbol for metaphors, such as a star. Mark all metaphors as
you read so they are easy to find and assess later.
