This symbol is first introduced in the novel where the man and his son are resting in a parked car with whatever they can find to give them warmth. After they settle in, the

An example of this symbolism, is the representation of the fence dividing the African Americans houses and the Caucasians houses. “That summer the fence that stretched through our town seemed bigger. We lived in a yellow house on one side of it. White people lived on the other. And Mama said, ‘Don’t climb over that fence when you play.’ She said it wasn’t safe.” This symbolizes the color boundary between the whites and blacks at that time. “When we were too tired to jump anymore, we sat up on the fence, all of us in a long line. ‘Someday somebody’s going to come along and knock this old fence down,’ Annie said. And I nodded. ‘Yeah,’ I said. ‘Someday.’ This line signifies the color boundary diminishing as the people get over their differences and accept one

William Golding, winner of the 1983 Nobel Prize for Literature, argues in his 1954 book Lord of the Flies that humans are evil in nature. He uses multiple symbols to define what savagery really is and how it can affect even the youngest of society. Some symbols, such as painted faces or a pig's head on a stick are used as shocking narrative tools but are necessary in order to portray these children as ruthless monsters. Golding’s use of painted faces does symbolize that when there is anonymity, humans will commit atrocious acts, especially if they are in a position of power.

I had an experience that each represents the symbol towards the Allegory of the Cave. My childhood was mostly in Jamaica where I lived with my father for two to three years. I can relate to the symbols from the "Allegory of the Cave".

2. The aim of the cartoon is to influence Australian with biased opinions on non-white foreigners. This was partially to help convince those who disagreed with the government to in fact support what would become the 'White Australia Policy' and try to keep the new country European and purely white - free from any coloured spots that they saw the foreigners as.

-The visual displays the story of how aborigines were once locked up and then try to rise up.

As human beings, we play the cards that are dealt to us in this world. In life, every person goes through their individual ups and downs and occasionally may break down to the extent of not knowing what to do with oneself. In the short story “The Yellow Wallpaper” which takes place in the late 1800s, focuses on the first person narrator who is an infatuated woman. The disheartening story concentrates on a woman who is suffering from postpartum depression, and as well had mental breakdowns. The narrators husband John, moves her into a home isolated in the country where he wants her to “rest” and get better from her illness. During the course of being confined in the room with the wallpaper, she learns new

The film ‘Rabbit Proof Fence’ conveys the importance of family, belonging and country to the Aboriginal people and provides the audience with an insight of the division between the Europeans and the Aboriginal people. The Director, Philip Noyce displays these themes by the use of symbolism and motifs. Symbolism is the use of one object to represent a notion or other object, whereas a motif is the recurrence of an object, theme, and subject throughout the film. The ‘Rabbit Proof Fence’ is based on a true story on how Aboriginal families were treated by politicians and government. It follows

Iconic symbolism is used through out the movie. As the movie begins, “The Circle of Life” plays with the setting sun. The setting sun is an interpretation that life a never ending

The second symbol is the swimming pool introduced at the beginning a dominant visual element of the plays setting. A pool represents a wide verity of objectives, socialization, pleasure, amusement. However, McNally chooses to showcase a different view of the pool. For instance the characters are reluctant to enter it. In fact they shun the idea of it, enforced by the comments of the characters. "I'm sorry, but I'm very sensitive about pools," Sam says. "Our mother was very big on polio. . . . Grow up like that and you view a pool or a public toilet seat as a natural enemy." The pool is thus associated with disease and filth- -polio and public toilet seats. Why? In monologs from the characters it becomes clear there is an unspoken fear that the pool is contaminated. The house in which the couples are staying once belonged to Sally’s brother who recently passed from AIDS. Everyone is scared that by swimming in the pool they will also contract the deadly disease. Well that is everyone except John who has esophagus cancer and sees that as the last of his worries. In fact, he purposefully puts his head under the water, fills his mouth with the “contaminated” water, and spits

Snakes have multiple historical meanings as symbols; they can sometimes signify as rebirth because snakes shed into a new skin, or poison and medicine because of their venom being able to turn into anti-venom. Snakes are also usually symbolized as evil or even the devil. Some characteristics of a snake in symbolism are rebirth, evil, poison, deception, cold, cunning, transformation, patience, and sin. For example, in the Book of Genesis from the Old Testament of the Bible, the snake that was telling Eve to eat from the Tree of Knowledge was actually a representation of the devil himself. A snake goes through an awesome transformation when it sheds its skin. In this sense, the process of transformation is also like a rebirth. The old skin is left behind and the snake goes by with a fresh start. This is the symbolism of snake’s transformation: to allow old things that are not working for you to die away and wither is one of the various lessons of the snake. If there is something bothering you or if you are doing things you know is not morally right, it is better to “shed” all that like a snake does with its old skin in order to start fresh. Another good symbol is that of the rattlesnake. Rattlesnakes symbolize boundaries and danger. A rattlesnake defends its

The next symbol is the herb of healing. This is a gift and also a curse that Death bestows upon his godson. Death is willing to help him become a famous, wealthy doctor. Death who is fair, keeps the promise he made his godson’s father long ago, but the herb is used as Death sees it to be used, not the godson. This is spun into action when Death says” When I am standing at their feet they are mine, but if I am standing at their head they are to be healed” (Grimm 12). In Essence I see Death using his godson to help him invoke the ill. This outlines the power struggle that some father -son relationships go through. The father, always wanting what they think is best for the

The subject matter exhibited in this representational work of art is four people that are gathered around rigid rocks. The two figures on the left are black, young-adult women, and a younger black boy on the right is looking up at a tall older white male in the center. Even though the use of silhouettes hides fine details, the women and the child portray exaggerated stereotypical racial features. The women are wearing head wraps, which are exclusive to women of African descent, the boy has Afro shaped hair, and all three have large protruding lips. Their clothes are worn down and ragged compared to the man’s attire. The white male’s features are less obvious, but the texture of his hair and lack of lip definition is apparent.
