There next to the rock was a large leather bag. The morning dew glistened all over it. The three boys ran toward the bag. Arthur knelt down next to it and examined it, eyeing it curiously. The bag was sealed shut with tape. Derek drew his knife and handed it to Arthur. “Here”. James raised his eyebrows. Derek looked down, squinting his eyes and frowning.

The three of them patted each other on the backs and shook hands, laughing. “This is amazing!” said Arthur. “Unbelievable!” said Derek. “How on earth did these get here?” James asked smiling. The diamonds were as big as golf balls, and some as small as grains of rice. Each one was clear and shimmering. “This is the loot of a world class thief!” Derek said and picked up the bag. Derek carried the bag on his shoulder, smiling proudly. “And now its ours!” “Were rich!” Arthur and James followed behind. Arthur ran forward and did a cartwheel. “This has to be worth millions. Just think how much

Inside the room, beheld the Firebird, a majestic sun-eagle of gold. Withdrawing the Firebird, the boy stared at the pure golde cage, coveting it. A name was engraved on the handle, genommen*.

Oh what have I just witnessed? I can’t believe this. I don’t want to anyway. Perhaps this is just a nightmare but I have never perceived something like this even in the worst of nightmares. Perhaps this is because my brain always woke me up before such a horrific image engulfed my mind and now I see something that my eyes will never be able to erase. What happened to this noble family? This feeling of sadness flows through my veins and has deadened my mind. It acts as a poison to my once uplifted spirit. It covers my soul as if a black mist had settled upon me and refused to shift.

A ring is, in and of itself, a frivolous object; it serves no practical purpose and its only functions are symbolic and aesthetic. They are thus also a symbol of the wealth and power of the owner; a demonstration that they have so much money they can afford to

In “The Rocking Horse Winner” by D.H Lawrence, the reader discovers a dark tone in the opening by describing the mothers’ loveless relationship with her children and her obsession with money. Yet the ultimate moment of darkness comes from her son Paul, in his final moments of life. The reader sees the image presented by the author by his use of imagery and powerful language. In the selected passage from Lawrence’s story, a dark image is formed by his use of language, dialogue as well as word choice, which add to the overall tone of the story as well as the negative effects of obsession. The passage shows Paul’s mental state in is final moments before his obsession for a better life ends his own.

The wooden rocking horse is supernatural and it is what Paul uses to find out the winning race horses. Paul is determined to achieve social status and money by finding the winners, as an example he says "now, take me to where there is luck!" However, the rocking horse ends up taking Paul's life. The whispering in the house symbolizes the desire to stay in the upper class. The family needs to have the best things in order to keep their stature. "There was never enough money," which means that the family is always searching for more money. The whispering is partly caused by Paul's mother because she says to Paul "we're the poor members of the family." This means that the kids are more worried about money because they are the only ones who can hear this whispering. Thus, symbolism is used here as a means of revealing the theme.
