Symbolism notes A symbol is something that represents something else, either by association or by resemblance. It can be a material object or a written sign used to represent something invisible.

Symbolism notes What do the following symbols represent? Answer in your notes.

What did you come up with? The American Flag– on a literal level, it is just a flag, a piece of cloth. However, it also stands for this particular county, for freedom, etc. What about the others?

Symbolism notes Think of another familiar symbol. Sketch it, and tell what it symbolizes. OR, think of a symbol that represents you. Sketch it, and explain why it symbolizes you.

Symbolism notes In writing, symbolism is the use of a word, a phrase, or a description, which represents a deeper meaning than the words themselves. This kind of extension of meaning can transform the written word into a very powerful instrument.

Symbolism in Little Red Riding Hood Spend five minutes looking over “Little Red Riding Hood.” Knowing that it can be compared to the movie Taken, about an innocent girl taken advantage of in the slave-trade industry, think about what each detail in the story could symbolize. If you need help, begin by thinking about: The red cape The mother The straight path The woods The wolf The hunstman Devouring or appetite The cake (or bread?) and wine The second wolf

Examples 1. Protagonist. The protagonist in “Little Red Riding Hood” is Red herself. She is the protagonist because the largest conflict in the story—her succumbing to temptation and being eaten by the wolf—happens to her. 10. Resolution. The resolution in the story takes place when the hunstman opens the wolf’s stomach and rescues both Red and the grandma. This is the resolution because the major conflict, Red and the grandma being eaten by the wolf, is solved. Additionally, Red’s inner conflict of being too naïve and simple is solved when she learns her lesson and vows to never talk to a wolf again.
