  18. Symbols/Symbolism Review your poems • Haiku • Hokku • A Narrow Fellow in the Grass • Silver • Velvet Shoes • Dreams • Water Picture • The Seven Ages of Man Classify the symbol/symbolism for each poem. Symbolism is when the author uses an object or reference to add deeper meaning to a story. Symbolism can be subtle or obvious. An author may repeatedly use the same object to convey deeper meaning or may use variations of the same object to create an main mood or feeling. Ex: • Symbols referring to salvation: Crosses, angels, haloes, clouds, churches • Symbols referring to reinvention:crosses, rainbows, passing storms, dawn, sunrise, broken chains • Symbols referring to death or endings: Gravestones, cemeteries, Grim Reaper, Day of the Dead, skulls, candle blowing out, coffin • American cultural symbols: Red, white and blue colors; Bald Eagle; coin with "In God We Trust" • Indian cultural symbols: yogi, banyan tree, image of Indian god or goddess • Chinese cultural symbols: Bamboo tree, bonsai tree, yin/yang symbol How Do Writers Use Symbolism?Writers insert symbols into their writing to allude to a feeling, mood or attitude without directly stating the perspective or mood intended. Symbolism is supplemental to the story.
