    Symbolism

    In your previous activities, you have learned that in order to show the experience to the readers, the writer
    should use imagery and utilize figures of speech to create vivid images in the mind of the readers. Figures of
    speech like simile, metaphor, personification, and others. help the writer provide vibrant effect to the story.
    Symbolism is a literary device which the writer uses one thing to represent something abstract like ideas
    and emotions. Symbols (concrete objects) engage readers on an emotional level and convey large and complex
    ideas.
    Some symbols are universal, like water for cleansing, but others are more culturally based. In some
    African societies for example, a black cat is seen as good luck. In Greek mythology, the Gods are all symbols
    for forces of nature. For example, Poseidon is a symbol of the sea. He is extremely powerful, but also wrathful
    and unpredictable. By telling stories of Poseidon’s vengeful fury, the Greeks symbolically delivered a message
    about how dangerous the sea can be. The ability to interpret symbols is essential to the full understanding and
    enjoyment of literature. (Creative Nonfiction, Solmerano, et al.)

    Example

    “The warmth of sun’s ray as it kisses my skin felt like hell. It seems like I have stated all types of curses
    in my head for not bringing an umbrella as I walk on the banquets and sidewalks of Novaliches, Bayan in Quezon
    City.”

    Symbol: Sun’s ray

    Symbolism: Realizations. The author used “sun’s ray” (as a symbol) which symbolizes the realizations
    that the character will take in the story.

    Activity
    Determine the symbol and analyze the symbolism of the object in the context of the text.

    1. I finally reached the peak of the Mt. Melibengoy after hours of walking in the dim forest. The sun was
    bright as if greeting me for my victory.
