Symbolism Scrapbook for "The War of the Worlds":

1. Protagonist: A telescope – The protagonist in "The War of the Worlds" is an unnamed narrator who observes the invasion of the Martians through his telescope. A telescope symbolizes his ability to see beyond what's immediately in front of him and his role as a witness to the invasion.

2. Conflict: An alien spaceship – The main conflict in "The War of the Worlds" is the invasion of the Earth by Martians in their giant tripod war machines or spaceships. This symbolizes both the fear of the unknown and the destructive power of imperialism.

3. Setting: A decimated city – The setting in "The War of the Worlds" is mostly in London and its surrounding areas, which have been destroyed by the Martian invasion. A decimated city symbolizes the loss and chaos that war brings.

4. Plot: The red weed – The presence of the red weed in the story symbolizes the destructive impact that the Martians have on Earth's environment. It also serves as a motif for the theme of imperialism and colonization.
