I Will Read Ashes For You, If You Ask Me.
I Will Look In The Fire And Tell You From The Grey Lashes,
And Out Of The Red And Black Tongues And Stripes,
I Will Tell How Fire Comes,
And How Fire Runs As Far As The Sea
-Carl Sandburg "Fire Pages"
Fire
Jesse Fitzgerald is an arsonist, he lights to get attention and express his anger and sadness that he's going through with his sick sister. Jesse feels left out and unloved by his parents and he sees lighting fires as a solution. Arsonists are normally young people from bad family environments that are trying to express they're feelings and get attention. Fire symbolises the warmth that arsonists want from family and friends, the warmth that chases away the cold loneliness and pain.

Locket
In my sisters keeper A locket and key is used to symbolise love between Anna And Brian as an acknowledgement that Annas father understands and he cares. Anna sells the locket for money to fund the court case for only $20.
The fact that she sold it for $20 tends to indicate that despite the fact that Anna was given a locket to show her father cares, you can give a gift but you cant give the gift of showing true feelings. The fact that Anna gave away her symbol of love shows that she needed love to help her. The cold metal of the locket can also have meaning like for Anna she could make it warm but at any moment it could go cold. You can give a gift to someone but that doesn't mean that they'll see it as a symbol for your feelings or thoughts.
