Symbolism

C. Lesson
Proper
• is the use of symbols to signify ideas and qualities by giving them symbolic meanings that
are different from their literal sense.

• Symbols do shift their meanings depending on the context they are used in.

• Common examples of symbolism in everyday life:

• In our daily life, we can easily identify objects, which can be taken as examples of symbol
such as the following:

• Dove is a symbol of peace.

• A red rose or red symbolizes love or romance.

• Black is a symbol that represents evil or death.

• A ladder may stand as a symbol for a connection between heaven and the earth.

• A broken mirror may symbolize separation.

Sensory Images

 Imagery in other words, means to use figurative language to represent objects, actions, and
ideas in such a way that it appeals to our physical senses.

 Are more powerful and memorable than ordinary words because they make you see, hear,
smell taste, or fell what you are reading.
 REMEMBER: When reading non-sensory words, your brain processes text. But when you
read sensory words different areas of your brain light up. MEANING… It sparks your
IMAGINATION.

 What are sensory images/words?

- They are descriptive in nature. They describe how we experience the world: how we
see, hear, smell, feel or taste something.

- Words related to sightindicate colors, shape, or appearance. For instance: gloomy,

dazzling, bright, foggy, gigantic.

- Example: It was dark and dim in the forest. – the words dark and dim are visual images

- Words related to touchdescribes textures. You can use them to describe feeling or
abstract concepts, too: gritty, creepy, slimy, fluff, sticky.

- Example: The girl ran her hands on a soft satin fabric. – The ofsoft in this example
appeals to our sense of touch or tactile sense.

- Words related to hearing describe sounds. For instance: crashing, thumping, piercing,
tingling, squeaky. Often these words mimic sounds --- that’s when they’re called
onomatopoeic.

- Example: The children were screaming and shouting in the fields. – Screaming and
shouting appeals to our sense of hearing or auditory sense.

- Taste and smell are closely related. Most taste and smell words are easy substitutes for
bland words like good, nice, or bad. For instance: zest, tantalizing, sweet, stinky, stale.

- Example: The fresh and juicy orange is very cold and sweet. – Juicy and sweet when
associated with oranges have an effect on our sense of taste or gustatory sense.

- Example: The fragrance of sampaquitas filled the air. – Fragrance appeals to our sense
of smell or Olfactory sense.

- Motion is sensory too. By using active words or describing movement, it helps readers
experience your words. For instance: vibrating, soaring, staggering, and bumpy.

- Example: The soaring wind tramples everything in its way. – soaringis an example of a
movement.
