What is a symbol?
| Many states have
symbols. A
symbol can be a thing or object that stands for something.
Symbols can paint a picture in your
mind about a state.
If you use your imagination, you can
see Arizona's symbols in the desert or in the mountains.
Each symbol was picked to show that
Arizona is different from other states. |
