Yesterday, we did a rather fun Fire Place, where we played around with one symbol and its symbolism by doing something creative. I wrote a poem. Today, we are writing specifically what we learned, without plagiarizing and using quotation marks, through what we did yesterday. Below is my poem, written yesterday, and what I learned, written today.

Fire Place:

We were tasked to kind of play around with one symbol and its symbolism. I chose the color blue, not for sadness, but instead peace, calm, and quiet. Here is a draft poem that I used to play around with this.

Blue

Simplicity like this

Is not found elsewhere.

It is balanced, and strong

Though it is quiet, humble.

There is almost nothing

But beauty. Peaceful beauty.

It does not blare,

Calms, and has many textures.

It is special, used in many ways,

Yet there is one specific quality.

Words are not enough to

Describe it. It’s a feeling, a sight.

A connection of nature and human.

Special naturally.

Think of blue,

What does it mean to you?

What I learned about the differences of symbols and symbolism: I learned that symbols are “something that stands for or suggests something else by reason of relationship, association, convention, or accidental resemblance”. Or, more simply put, a visual sign or design that stands or marks something else. It rather represents it. For example, a symbol of a heart might represent love or being happy and feeling whole and complete. There are lots of symbols, and we see them every day in our lives. For an example, when you drive past a sign featuring the two golden arches, you know it shows that there is a Mc. D’s near by. Even a color can represent something. If your friend looks a little green, you might want to haul them off to the bathroom because they look sick. In this case scenario, the green represents the feeling of being very close to uphauling your stomach, and being sick.  There are many, many symbols, and we see them every day. Symbolism is different yet very close to the definition of symbols. Symbolism uses symbols, and is kind of the umbrella which symbols reside under. Symbolism means “the use of symbols to signify ideas and qualities, by giving them symbolic meanings that are different from their literal sense.” So, symbolism is what makes symbols able to represent something. For example, a lion is literally a lion, without being under the power of symbolism. But, when symbolism is used on the lion, the lion is no longer just the lion but then becomes the symbol of bravery, toughness, strength, and wild courage. Symbolism basically creates the meaning in symbols. Symbolism is the blanket that makes symbols real and legit. It really is a wonderful, broad yet specific topic, and digging into it can be so much fun! So, symbols are part of symbolism, but symbolism isn’t symbols (Hint: It’s the symbols’ meaning!). These two topics are very different, yet alike!

A symbol is a sign that represents a thing.

For example;

A flag

The table of Elements

Musical notation

Symbolism means;

“the use of symbols to signify ideas and qualities, by giving them symbolic meanings that are different from their literal sense.”

It means it can have a thing can have different meanings with symbols.

FIRE-UP

“Symbolism is the use of symbols to signify ideas and qualities, by giving them symbolic meanings that are different from their literal sense.”

Now when I read this line I still didn't get much until I read and example of in this websites writing.

“Black is a symbol that represents evil or death”

Now with this example I was able to make my own writing of this.

White is the symbol of light and glory

An eagle is the symbol of freedom

A mouse can be a symbol of quietness

Fire can be a symbol of hate and evil too

Cops are a symbol of safety

Now that I am done with some of my examples I want to tell you that I have learned a lot about symbols and symbolization. And I also learned that in writing it is important to add these quality because they show fore feeling. For example instead of saying they loved each other you could say, In the distance doves flew or something

This is the symbol I chose and it is the symbol of air. As I was scrolling through the pictures on google, I kind of got an idea of maybe, how symbols and symbolism are different. I think that symbols are pictures or animations do express stories and feeling. Then, symbolism is what that symbol expresses. So therefor, the symbol I chose expresses air. It's symbolism is air. I also learned that symbols are used in more of stories or myths and stuff like that.

“Symbolism is the use of symbols to signify ideas and qualities, by giving them symbolic meanings that are different from their literal sense.”

I learned that a lot of colors are symbols of things.

EX.

Red and pink is the symbol of love.

Black is the symbol of sad death or evil.

Also almost every color is a happy or sad color, lighter colors are known an happy colors and dark colors are known as sad colors.

Some animals also symbol things like the eagle is a symbol of freedom

Fire place:

I thought that it would be cool to choose a symbol that someone might not have thought was a symbol.  I learned that colors can be symbols as well. We usually see the color red as anger and yellow as happiness:

White = purity

Black = darkness and evil

Blue = sadness

Green = sickness/gross

Pink = love

Purple = royalty

Brown = worried

I also learned that different colors are used as symbols to symbolize feelings or other things in countries flags.

For example:

The Mexico flag is red, green, and white.

The green symbolizes hope,

The red symbolizes “respect for the fallen”

The white symbolizes unity.

I also learned about the color theory. (proving that a color is a symbol)

“Colors have been used as symbolic since ancient times.”   We still use colors to represent things everyday.

Symbolism - when another word is explained to explain another word. For instance, if I said, “ My alarm woke me up too early this morning,” the alarm would symbolize the phrase, “waking up.”

Symbol - sign, mark, etc.

Ex: (symbolism)

1. The clock ticked, alarming everyone that the day had been coming to an end at midnight.

2. The ball dropped on New Years eve at the strike of 12:00am. Everyone shouted “Happy New Year!”

The difference between symbolism and symbols is Symbols are the objects and symbolism is the the thing that is symbolized in the object.
I chose fire as my symbol and what I think the symbolism for that is bad, hot, danger, and horrible.

Symbolism:

Symbolism is often used by writers to enhance their writing. Symbolism can give a literary work more richness and color and can make the meaning of the work deeper.

In literature, symbolism can take many forms including:

A figure of speech where an object, person, or situation has another meaning other than its literal meaning.

The actions of a character, word, action, or event that have a deeper meaning in the context of the whole story.

Symbols:   A symbol can be an object, shape, sign, or character used to represent something else.

For example :

A flag is a symbol of a country.

A pink ribbon is a simble of breast cancer.

and a yellow ribbon is a symbol of support for U.S. troops
A character doing even a small thing, like eating a cheeseburger, might symbolize something larger about that character.

Fire Place:

I researched symbolism and found that symbolism is in everyday objects like a ¨dove being that symbol of peace”. I also learned that symbolism is when someone or something is a representative of something else, these objects often have traits that make people think of a certain word. Symbolism can be found in all most everything, if you take an object than you can find a symbolism for it. For example a desk might be symbolism of school, of a tree might be a symbolism of outside.

Hear is an example of all of the literal symbolisms that I think of when I here phone.

Iphone

Landline

Satellites

Data

Gigabyte

Megabytes

Flip phone

Call

Here are some more in depth ones.

I think about someone needing help because if you get hurt or need help you can call 911 or someone else for assistance.

I also think of a worldwide connection grid because anybody can connect with anyone around the world, so all of us are connected.

Fire-Place:

For my research on symbolism I am going to figure out some examples and get a solid definition. For the word I will explore I am thinking about doing the sun as it can have a lot of things it represents.

The definition of symbolism is the “practice or art of using a definition or word to represent something else”

This basically means that you use one thing to represent another. So, for example I could say something was blue and that could stand for peace or the ocean or something else. It’s basically a way to say one thing while hinting at another.

From  http://examples.yourdictionary.com/examples-of-symbolism.html :

“Ex: Red- anger, blood, love, passion.

Ex: Black - Death, Decay

Ex: Purple- Royalty”

The word I  am going to explore will be the sun. Here is some of the meanings it could have.

Light

Happiness

Summer

Purity

Brightness

Some people could see the sun as a sort of symbol for happiness. Some of them could also see it as a symbol of light or purity because it so bright. For symbolism you could say that the sun was shining a new light on your life or something else like that.

Whales are a mammal. The Blue Whale is the largest mammal on Earth. So what do we do with that information? Make it a figure of speech, so now you can have a whale of a time! Obviously this symbolizes that you are having a huge amount of fun. I like whales. They are good. 🐋🐳🐳🐋🐋🐳🐳🐋🐳🐋🐋🐋🐋🐳🐳🐳
