directions- Often in literary works, authors choose physical objects that take on a special
significance within the work and become symbols of something beyond themselves. Show
how the two authors use symbols to convey important meanings. In your essay, focus on the
symbols, what they symbolize, and how the author uses them to convey a message to the
reader. You may choose a number of symbols, or you may choose to elaborate on one
symbol in all body paragraphs.#Necklace #Guy #Maupassant #Chrysanthemums #John
