Among the many differences that could be used as a basis for discrimin...

Years Of His Life Place In Society
1,536 wordsSymbolism dominates literature. Without it, the author is handcuffed and is left without a highly effective tool to convey his or her message. By using symbolism, an author can still maintain an objective appearance by letting the literary device do its work in expressing views, relaying opinions or simply stating the facts.
