Third assignment

Find 3 elements in your text that you feel are especially important. The elements you choose could be symbols and/or metaphors and/or allegories and/or characters and/or settings and/or moods and/or plots and/or conflicts. If you've written about an element in class or online, you can use it for this assignment.
For each element, write what it is and describe it a bit. For example, if you found a symbol, write that it's a symbol, describe where you see it, and describe what it means.
How do you know that it is what you say it is? For example, if you found a metaphor, how do you know it's a metaphor?
Describe what each element you chose does in the text. You don't need to describe how that element works in general, you should have already done that. In stead, describe what that particular example does in your book specifically. That is, what's the element's job?
Do you know the project of your book? If so, what is it?

One of the elements in my book is a symbol, its that the sheriffs wife wants to die in her wedding dress and has Nick, the deaf mute, change her into it. I think it reresents the love for her late husband. its a symbol because the dress is white and symbolises the pure love she has for her husband.it sets a mood for the next chapter in the book. he second symbol is the rioters and the police shoot out at the mall. this is also a symbol. it represents the state of panic that everyone is going through at that particular time. the third element is again a symbol. its the single sneeze a charascter does when they have cought the virus. its just one sneeze and a slight runny nose but it lets the reader know that the disease is spreading more and more.
i havent figured out the books project yet.
