In To Kill a Mockingbird what does the snowman symbolize and why?

I think it symbolized Tom Robinson. Because the night when Ms. Maudie's house was on fire and about to be burnt down the description of the scene are symbolics of many things.

For example the very dark night (the verdict of the jury), the fire (the result), Mr. Atticus Finch fighting the fire (defending Tom), the dark snowman melting (Tom Robinson dying). These were all clues that helped people with foreshadowing.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
