"she told Roy that things like pictures, poetry, all that kind of stuff, she said they revealed what you were like inside. She said they revealed your soul." pg. 175
I was right; the art is a symbol. It is symbol of one's inner self. Art reveals the soul. That is why art was so important at Hailsham. The guardians believed that art revealed the soul, so each students' work was a reflection of their inner self. Once Tommy realized that art reveals the soul, he began to try harder to be creative. He also came up with a theory about Madame's Gallery. I think Tommy's theory is pretty good, but I do not think there is any substance to the rumored deferrals.
