12. Correct! When an author uses a concrete object to represent an idea or emotion, it is indeed called symbolism. That's like using a fuzzy bunny to represent the innocence of youth or a wilting flower to represent the passage of time. Symbolism, the artists' way of making everyday things seem deep and profound.
13. Close, but no cigar! "Renaissance" actually means rebirth, not as in popping out of your momma again, but as in a cultural and intellectual revival. Much like a phoenix rising from the ashes, but with fewer feathers and more art and science. It was a time of rediscovering the classics, embracing new ideas, and generally being all-around fancy and sophisticated. Just picture Leonardo da Vinci dual-wielding a paintbrush and a wrench, and you'll get the idea.
