Smiley Face In Watchmen

It appears that there are injuries and wounds scarring his bare torso. The name is looking down in deep thought or sadness. The colours black, white, red and orange are the most significant throughout. Red is usually associated with blood, war and heart-break. The orange swirls around his head indicates that there are many thoughts going on in the man’s head. The black background suggests feelings of isolation and loneliness.

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

On page 108, we see that Cap gives Sophie a bracelet that he says is from her dad which left her devastated after he left her in a very hard time in her life. On the bracelet it has the phrase, “All you need is love” engraved on it. This represents the relationship in between Cap and Sophie, even though Sophie hates Cap, Cap is still willing to go through the trouble of getting her something. The author used the craft move of symbolism in the text to stir empathy and show us that Cap is really getting treated badly however despite all of this he is continuing to be nice and kind towards others. Another example of symbolism in the text is with the character Zach Powers. Across the entire text we see that the main school bully’s name is Zach Powers. While this may not seem like it means anything it actually mean anything, when you start to look at Zach's personality you see that his name is a symbol that represents him. Throughout the book we see multiple occasions of when he is bullying, and one of the main reasons for bullying is because you want to be powerful or on top. On page 122 we see him say, “I’d been working up to that seet in the cafeteria since sixth grade!” The seat that he is referring to is where all the coolest and most popular kids sit at. So because of that we see that he is very popular and is power hungry. So because of all of this we can conclude that his name is a symbol that represents his

Through the use of gang violence, Fukunaga uses logos to give the intended audience context and information about life in the Mara Salvatrucha. For example, at the beginning of the movie, Smiley was initiated into the gang. The brutal

Symbols are used to represent something else deeper than the actual meaning either in real life or in literature. In the story “The Scarlet Ibis”, Doodle who is mentally and physically disabled was not expected to live. Although, he did live, however, he could not do things other children could do such as walk or talk. Therefore, his older brother set out to teach him because he was embarrassed to have an abnormal brother. However, many years later Doodle is soon overworked until he can no longer go on, and he sadly dies. In “The Scarlet Ibis”, James Hurst uses the caul, the oriole nest, and the blood od Doodle as symbols to offer greater insight into abstract ideas that are difficult to understand on their own.

Chapter 12 is about symbolism. The author says that not everybody will think a symbol will mean the same thing and it won't. The symbol is whatever you think it means. Some writers make their symbols direct, but most let you use your own imagination.

Symbolism is used in many ways and writers use symbolism to “enhance their writing.” It can give their work “more richness and color and can make the meaning of the work deeper.” In literary work the actions of the characters, words, action, place, or event has a deeper meaning in the context of the whole story. The reader needs to look see the little things like a dove symbolizes peace, or like the red rose stands for romance. Mostly everything can have a symbolism meaning to it. For instance the flag symbolizes freedom and the stars represent the states. Even some signs are symbols like when a beaker has a skull with a bones placed like an ‘x’ behind it symbolizes that it’s toxic or bad. When people see the red light when driving that’s

Transparently Junot Diaz discusses via interviews why he used the symbol of faceless men and its significance. In one interview Misty Reno of The Tack Newspaper reported that students posed a question for Diaz as, “Who are the faceless men?” Diaz replied by stating that, “Do I have any idea who…they are? No…[but] every time I took them out of the book the novel fell apart, but I wasn’t sure what they were. The reader himself has to find what these creatures […the faceless men] are because when they make that decision, the book will take on a very different

Many symbols and gestures can be interpreted in many different ways. Symbolism and Body Language are naturally open to more than one meaning and interpretation. Let us exercise the rational abilities that God gave us to think critically toward the topic and examples offered while yet using our spiritual gifts to discern in the Spirit the Absolute Truth of the matters as

Symbols in literature are like the Earth, there are multiple layers until you get to the core meaning. In the novel, The Lord of the Flies, William Golding, utilizes symbols in order to get his deeper meaning across. In a novel about boys isolated on an island during the time period of World War II, Golding shows the outcomes of what isolation can have on a group of people. While trying to get these messages across, the author uses symbols as an aid These symbols range from strength, hope, and fear. One of the most important symbols in the book is Jack’s mask. The mask starts out as a way to help Jack hunt and grows from there. Therefore, Jack’s mask begins as protection from Jack’s own identity, evolves to his strength, and

This is a illustration of of a smiling tree that is sending a message to Harvey as mentioned in the first paragraph, but there was no mention of how this humor was important because it meant that the message was friendly.

In chapter 7 Wendell tricks Harvey on halloween and Lulu leads Harvey to her treasures in her room but the room is filled with

The novel, the Outsiders by S.E. Hilton has many symbols to represent characters and events. There are many struggles throughout the story. Johnny killing Bob and when Darry slapped Ponyboy causing both boys to run away. The symbols gold, the sunsets, and Gone with the Wind.

We may not realize it, but most of us use symbol’s everyday, such as emojis or slang like “lol’ or “jk.” We use these symbols to communicate with people things that may be hard to explain in words. The definition of a symbol is a mark or character used as a conventional representation of an object, function, or process. “The First Part Last” is a book written by Angela Johnson. It is about Bobby, a teenager, who gets his girlfriend pregnant, and the journey Bobby has leading up to the birth of his daughter, Feather, and how he changes or matures after Feather is born. Throughout “The First Part Last” the author uses many symbols to convey things about Bobby. Three of those symbols are the wall that Bobby graffities and what he graffities on

Another symbol used in The Great Gatsby is the Valley of Ashes. The Valley of Ashes is located between West Egg and New York City, and all it is, is land with the dumping of industrial ashes all over it. It represents the moral and social decay that results from wealth, as the rich enjoy nothing but their own pleasure. It also symbolizes the poor who live among the dirty ashes and lose their strength as a result. “This is a valley of ashes-a fantastic farm where ashes grown like wheat into ridges and hills and grotesque gardens, where ashes take the forms of houses and chimneys and rising smoke and finally, with a transcendent effort, of men who move dimly and already crumbling through the powder air.”(27) Looking over the valley of ashes are the eyes of Doctor T.J. Eckleburg. “The Eyes of Doctor T.J. Eckleburg are blue and gigantic…they look out of no face, but instead, from a pair of enormous yellow spectacles.”(27) The Eyes of Doctor T.J. Eckleburg could represent God staring down on the American society. They’re just a pair of fading eyes painted on an old billboard over the valley of ashes. Fitzgerald uses the eyes to suggest symbols only mean something because of the characters put meaning in them. George Wilson makes the connection of Doctor T.J. Eckleburg’s eyes symbolizing God. They could also represent the meaninglessness of the

The symbol is being too safe comes with a price. It all started when the mom of the little boy read him a book. It was a book about a prince climbing a wall to kiss the princess. The little boy thought he was the prince one day and tried to climb the wall his parents put up. Only did he not know there were coils of sharp blades wrapped around the top. When the little boy reached the top of the wall he got stuck in the coils and bleed out everywhere. So being too safe does come with a
