Writing Exercise – Easy Symbols



Other ways to create verisimilitude with symbol

  • Humanize Aesop’s Fables or modernize a Grimm’s Fairytale

  • Pick a popular social issue and have the central character’s job related to the issue (climatologist and global warming; 16-year-old drug-lord’s assassin for cartel being busted…)


  • The Absurd: Have an inanimate object take on the alternate character commonly associated with object (pacifist knife; a kitchen table with a weak back, an undertaker who finds the dead to be icky…).
