According to Webster's Dictionary, symbolism is "the use of symbols to express or represent ideas or qualities in literature..." ("Symbolism") A conventional symbol means it can be seen as something within a group of people. A universal symbol means it can be seen as something all over the world. A literary symbol means it is only a symbol in that story, song, or poem. (Kelly) Some stories may use all three symbols while others may use just one or two. Authors make their stories creative by using many different symbols.
“Music Lessons” tells about the accidental life lessons Vowell learns while being in marching band. The quote from her book, “…but somehow I was supposed to lift a baritone horn that measured twice my body weight, blow into it while reading microscopic sheet music…” (26) shows just how much Vowell enjoyed being in marching band but she stayed with it for as long as she could. Later in the essay Vowell explains that in eighth grade she switches from the baritone horn to the trumpet, which is cut short because of the shape of her jaw (30). In an interview with Robert Birnbaum of Identity Theory “I trained as a musician growing up, and I think a lot about sound.” This quote just puts together how much Vowell enjoys music even though she is not skilled in music or musically talented. But not being musically talented does not mean that you cannot write or talk about it.
