Quick Write- Symbolism in Stories I've Read

In the story The Osage Orange Tree, the tree was the main symbol in the story. For one thing, it's a tree, it's also the place where the Narrator and the girl meets. It was a meeting place, and soon it became an everyday place. An everyday place where the narrator goes and drops off the newspaper. The tree is also a symbol of them, the narrator and the girl. It's a symbol of them together, their feelings, and friendship. They walk together everyday, and the narrator drops off the newspaper there everyday. That place became a place that belonged to both of them. I think this tree is symbolic because it shows more than it just being a tree. It symbolises the friendship of the two characters rather than just a tree as a meeting place.
