Symbols are all around us in everyday life – from the green person that lights up to tell us it is safe to cross the road, to clicking on the ‘thumbs up’ icon to show that we ‘like’ something on social media.

Writers also use symbols to add deeper meaning to a text. These symbols are not pictures but are made purely from words, creating meanings and associations in our minds as we read.
