    Oysters

    Oysters
    The symbol for Aristotle we chose was an oyster. An oyster represents "beauty, humility, wealth, and wisdom" ("Dream Moods"). The reason the oyster represents Aristotle is because Aristotle was considered a genius. He worked in all fields of education. The oyster also represents wealth which Aristotle probably had alot of. He built his own academy which probably cost alot of money. He was famous among many people and when he died he gave all of his wealth away ("Dream Moods").
