Symbolism
Symbol= a person, place, object or activity that stands
for more than just itself
For example: fork in the road (important decision) the color red (love, anger, passion)
torrential storm (an emotional upheaval) mountain (obstacle to overcome)
Symbolism can be used to help emphasize a story’s theme, bring deeper or clearer meaning

Slide4Slide5Robert Frost –The Road Not Taken
TWO roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stoodAnd looked down one as far as I couldTo where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, as just as fair,And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same, And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sighSomewhere ages and ages hence:Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,And that has made all the difference.
What could the roads symbolize , or stand for?
Slide6Stopping by Woods on a Snowy
Evening –
Robert Frost
Whose woods these are I think I know. His house is in the village though;
He will not see me stopping here To watch his woods fill up with snow. My little horse must think it queer
To stop without a farmhouse near Between the woods and frozen lake The darkest evening of the year.
He gives his harness bells a shake To ask if there is some mistake. The only other sound’s the sweep Of easy wind and downy flake.
The woods are lovely, dark and deep, But I have promises to keep, And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.
Slide7… Seabiscuit
, An American Legend
Given what you know about symbolism, and about the Great Depression, why do you think Seabiscuit was so important to Americans? What could his story have symbolized?
