I have touched before on the symbolic meaning of birds, and here there are, 3 on the cover on The Help. They are chickadees and the symbolic meaning is optimism. That stands for what I see Miss Skeeter to be. An optimist. This makes me think further she is going to change things in the way she hopes to. I can tell she dreams of a more equal society, and believes she can achieve it, she's just unsure how.
The cover of the birds indicates that Miss Skeeter will be a central character in the book, and I'm eager to see how she will affect the people around her.
