The novel: "The Hundred Secret senses" - 12 items and what they represent

I've been just assigned a project which I need to collect 12 items and tell what they represent in the Novel. I tried to get as many items as i could, but I just can't make enough. Therefore I need some help guys~!

Greetings!

Although I can't give you specific items, I might be able to help you search for them. Look for small things, as well as larger, more obvious ones. For instance, if there were a scene in which the mother was cutting tomatoes, could the juice represent blood? If there is a misty day, could the mist represent a character's lack of clarity in understanding herself? Try looking at small sections at a time, paying close attention to detail to try to determine why the author included that particular little detail. They won't all have bigger meanings, but some of them will.

I hope this helps!

Thanks,
