November 8, 2013 - Symbolism and Deeper Meaning - So What?

I can recognize symbolism in paintings and stories.

To do this I must

1. know the literal meaning of the story
2. have and understanding of the characters and objects from the story
3. be able to make inferences about characters and objects
4. See beyond surface level meaning

To demonstrate my understanding of symbolism, I will write a short constructed response about what "The Bass, the River, and Sheila Mant" is really about.
