Understanding Symbolism in Literature
In the quiet town of Eldermere, the old oak tree stood at the crossroads, its branches sprawling like the arms of a guardian. Every year, villagers would gather beneath its canopy to celebrate the harvest festival, placing ribbons and lanterns in its limbs. To many, the tree was just another part of the landscape, but to Eleanor, it symbolized resilience and hope. She often visited the tree when she faced difficult decisions, feeling its sturdy trunk grounding her in times of uncertainty. Over the years, the oak had witnessed countless stories—joyous celebrations, quiet tears, and whispered secrets—making it a silent keeper of the town’s history.
