Analyze the use of symbolism in one of the nine short stories: Cathedral, An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge, Everyday Use, The Yellow Wallpaper, Hills Like White Elephants, The Cask of Amontillado, The Tell-Tale Heart, Young Goodman Brown or The Open Boat. Point out the symbols you see in the story, use textual evidence to interpret their meanings (keeping in mind that some symbols have multiple valid meanings), and examine how those symbols function in the text. Use parenthetical citations in the MLA format when quotes are used.
