Symbolism and methaphors

Symbolism=Symbolism is the use of symbols to signify ideas and qualities, by giving them symbolic meanings that are different from their literal sense.

Examples: 
Dove = a symbol of peace
Red rose= often symbolises love

Love is a jewel: This is symbolic because it suggests that love is rare and precious.

Methaphors

Methaphor= It is a figure of speech. They do not litterally mean that somebody is a rock, but they mean that somebody is a great support! 

Examples=
Time is money, He is my rock, Life's a roller-coaster.

Did you hear about the rose that grew from a crack in the concrete?

Proving nature's law is wrong
It learned to walk without having feet

Funny it seems but by keeping its dreams, it learned to breathe fresh air. Long live the rose that grew from concrete
When no one else ever cared......
