Symbolism and Allegory Unit Reflection

For the past few weeks we have studied allegory and symbolism. For symbolism we read a story call “Through the Tunnel”. It had many meanings and more of a deeper understanding of what the symbols are. For allegory we read a story call “Animal Farm”. It had many forms of an extended metaphor. My favorite symbolism assignment was a symbol for my house and it had a lot of meaning to it. My favorite allegory assignment was the graphic organizer. I kind of get the feeling of a more understanding when doing a graphic organizer. Studying allegory and symbolism has changed my thinking by what actually mean something without saying it, it can just be a symbol that represents something more than it looks.
