Communication 12

Symbolism: any object, person, place, or action that has both a meaning in itself and that stands for something larger than itself, such as a quality, attitude, belief, or value.

Example: the owl a as symbol of knowledge or a rose as a symbol of love or death.

Theme: The theme is the central idea of the story, usually implied rather than directly stated. Theme should not be confused with moral or plot. It is usually a general statement about life and how it should be lived. A theme statement is always a sentence, not one word.

Watch the following clip and write a theme statement.
