Symbols in literature stand for something that represents something else. A symbol is typically a concrete thing such as an object, a person or people, places, and actions. What these symbols stand for is usually much deeper or something intangible – think about qualities, attitudes, beliefs, or values.

Select One Short Story to Analyze:
“The Darling” by Anton Chekhov
“Rufus” by Bob-Waksberg
“The Warrior’s Daughter” by Zitkala-Sa
“The Great Silence” by Ted Chiang
Prompt:
In a 1000 to 1,250 word essay, students should select one short story from the list above and analyze the symbolism represented in that piece of literature. Students will want to locate two to three symbols, analyze their significance, and evaluate how the symbols add meaning to the entire story.
Remember, be careful not to interpret a symbol as the symbol itself. This can be tricky. It’s wise to visit with a professor in the Writing Center or run your symbols by me during your brainstorming part of the writing process.
Guidance:
Your audience is our class and professor, but you still need to spend some time summarizing key ideas (such as introducing the short story in the introduction), defining any terms (such as symbolism), and choosing quotes/paraphrases from one of the texts above to help your reader get a sense of what the author is talking about.
Please review the NoodleTools resources in Modules for help citing.
Talk about complexities; avoid oversimplifying your ideas or the ideas from the reading.
Use a clear organizational structure. Break up the paper into manageable chunks of information and keep your paragraphs unified around one main idea. Don’t feel like you have to conform to a 5 paragraph essay structure.
The essay should be written in 3rd person point-of-view.
Take the time to proofread after you’ve written your essay. Think about the kinds of mistakes you know you tend to make and watch out for those.
Give yourself enough time to visit the Writing Center. If you know you have trouble with some aspect of your writing, give yourself time to visit the Writing Center multiple times before submitting your final draft.

The analysis of the assessment plan and rationale involves a level of detail and insight sufficient to demonstrate proficiency and understanding of the second step (assessment) of the planned change process of the Generalist Intervention Model (GIM) applied to the micro, mezzo, and macro context. The student will describe the planned change process from the point of assessment. After completing an analysis of the assessment process, the student will include a brief description of the bio-psycho-social-spiritual assessment and demonstrate a clear understanding of the need, problem, or situation that will be the focus of the work with the client.
The student will use facts from the case study to describe how assessment is applied to the planned change process in the GIM and how assessment impacts generalist social work practice in the micro, mezzo, macro client system. Know that assessment of planned change is an ongoing process. Students should utilize outside resources and references as appropriate, and include professional interpretations from practice experience, organized as follows:
Step 1: Identify your client
Step 2: Assess the client-in-situation from the following perspectives: (micro, mezzo, macro, and aspects of diversity).
Step 3: Cite information about client problems and needs from the following perspectives: (micro, mezzo, macro, and aspects of diversity).
Step 4: Identify client strengths from the following perspectives: (micro, mezzo, macro, and aspects of diversity).

Step 3: Collect, Organize and Interpret Client Data
Social workers use tools to gather and organize client information to arrive at an accurate picture of human behavior and the social environment and the person-in-environment situation: There are at least seven basic “sources of information” about clients (Hepworth et al., 2013, p. 195; Kirst-Ashman, 2018). (1) agency forms and self-assessments. (2) client responses to interview questions. (3) observations of verbal/nonverbal behavior. (4) observations of client interactions with other people. (5) outside sources and referral sources. (6) psychological or other testing. (7) the social worker’s interaction with the client; ‘gut reactions’.
Prompt Competency 7: Construct a detailed [i] genogram and [ii] ecomap to illustrate the relationship between the client(s) and outside systems (attach to the appendix along with your assignment).
Step 4: Assess Client Strengths and Limitations
Strengths can be divided into eight categories: (1) Family and friends. (2) Education and employment background. (3) Problem-solving and decision-making skills. (4). Personal qualities and characteristics. (5). Physical and financial resources. (6). Attitudes and perspectives. (7) Religiosity and spirituality. (8) Miscellaneous other strengths.
