2nd Symbol
I choose white to also symbolize Oprah because it "represents purity, perfection, peace, innocence, dignity, cleanliness, awareness, and new beginnings". (Dream Moods"). The white is also pretty much like the dove because Oprah is a kind hearted person, she has done tons of things to help out others. -
Symbol
I choose a dove to symbolize Oprah because it "symbolizes peace, tranquility, harmony, affection and innocence." ("Dream Moods"). Oprah is a very peaeceful person and she hasn't done anything bad in her past, so she is also innocent and she seems like a very kind person.
