Thesis: what are the types of symbolism are shown in the book The Lesson before Dying.
Symbolic symbolism means the practice of representing things by means of symbols or of attributing symbolic meanings or significance to objects, events, or relationships.
In the book Lesson before Dying the confederate soldier flag shows symbolic symbolism by the red background with the blue and white railroad crossing which means no blacks allowed (Dixie). The Dixie is similar to Ku Klux Klan but haves different mentality. Dixie wouldn't kill blacks for no reason but they do think that blacks shouldn't be in a white country.
The White picket fence surroundings the plantation school symbolizes when those black children look out the window that's how far their education is going to go in the white society. The teacher might teach them all he can but pass that fence he knows education doesn't matter no more.
