Answer:

Techniques:

repeating objects throughout a text

putting particular emphasis on an object in a story

Step-by-step explanation

Using Motifs: A motif is a repeated design. In a story, a motif is an element repeated throughout the narrative, often to obvious effect. Sometimes, however, it will be used in a less conspicuous way that infiltrates the readers’ subconscious with a web of symbolic cohesion. Motifs can also be metaphors. Indeed, some of the best symbols in literature are visual metaphors for thematic elements.

Small Details: You can include symbolism in even the smallest of your story’s details. The colors your characters wear. The movies they watch. The pictures they use to decorate their apartments. All of these details offer the opportunity for symbolic resonance.
