Exercise Symbols

For this exercise I need to find symbols for a number of concepts

This was the list I was given and here are my ideas, I don't think there is necessarily a right or wrong answer to this question as a lot depends on peoples on interpretation.

Growth: a seedling just breaking through its shell, or an acorn and an oak tree, (from little acorns etc)

Excess: this could be a very large pile of something like gold or money or it could be a very large person 'holding their spare tyre'.

Crime: police tape across a door or maybe a smashed window

Silence: A library always makes people think of silence or a closed mouth with a finger to it.

Poverty: cupped hands, or a small tatty child with a empty bowl,
 at the moment I have decided not to take any photographs for this exercise.

I found this exercise quite thought provoking and I found that I really had to think hard and research some of the list.
