From what I understand it's symbolism.
Definition: Symbolism is the use of symbols to signify ideas and qualities by giving them symbolic meanings that are different from their literal sense. Symbolism can take different forms. Generally, it is an object representing another to give it an entirely different meaning that is much deeper and more significant.
Ascent means to go up, as in:
<em>The elevator ascended away from me.</em>
I hope this helps!
I saw my friend henry walking to the store last Friday night. It was a rainy stormy night. Lighting stretching across the sky like a cat before it lies on its bed. All I heard was a "BOOM" and the next thing I saw was the store catch on fire. I ran at the speed of a cheetah into the building to see if anyone was inside. I found the store owner and dragged him out of the burning store like a drag of a baseball field. I was thanked and appreciated. The next morning I woke up and saw the headlines of the newspaper stating "Local hero saves Shop Owner."
