3. Exploring Symbols and their Meanings

 A **symbol** is something such as an [|object], [|picture], written [|word], [|sound], or particular mark that represents something else by association, resemblance, or convention. For example, a red octagon may be a symbol for "STOP". On maps, crossed sabres may indicate a battlefield.

[|Juxtaposition] further complicates the matter. Similar five–pointed stars might signify a [|law enforcement] officer or a member of the [|armed services], depending the [|uniform].
