his teacher, Ms. Belle. He will have his first
practice for the poster making contest because
he will be competing for the Mayor’s Cup
Poster Making Contest next week. “Hello, Ms.
Belle,” greeted Christian. “I am so excited to
learn your techniques in poster making,
Ma’am,” he added.

“Hi, Christian,” replied Ms. Belle. “Are you ready to
listen? Well, let me first start with the common symbols
that you can use on the posters,” she added. “Yes, Ms.
Belle,” said Christian. “Dove is a bird, right?” said Ms.
Belle. “But it symbolizes peace, love or as messengers,”
she explained. “A pen is an instrument for writing or
drawing. It symbolizes journalism. A snake is a reptile. It
symbolizes being a traitor,” she explained. With all the
symbols discussed, Christian came up with a beautiful
