She remarks that “The path ran up and hill,” saying that every time she gets this far, “there is chains about [her] feet” and “something always take a hold of [her] on this hill” (Welty). This quote informs the reader that not only is the path Phoenix is taking difficult and uphill, but also that she has made this journey many times before. The forest is beautiful, “deep and still” and sunny, yet it also serves as a hindrance to her progress. The difficulty of the path and setting combined with Phoenix’s continuation onward testify to her perseverant

Mead enjoys putting his feet “upon that buckling concrete walk, to step over grassy seams and make your way, hands in pockets, through the silences”.

Soon high jungle closed in... The air here was dark too, and the creepers dropped their ropes like the rigging of foundered ships. His feet left prints in the soft soil and the creepers shivered throughout their lengths when he bumped them. He came at last to a place where more sunshine fell. Since they had not so far to go for light the creepers had woven a great mat that hung at the side of an open space in the jungle; for here a patch of rock came close to the surface and would not allow more than little plants and ferns to grow...Then he bent down and wormed his way into the center of

The idea of symbolic complexes as Walker Percy saw them, although he wrote about them in a vastly different time, is still quite relevant today. We may not find ourselves getting lost in the outskirts of Mexico any time soon but the presence of unmet standards and expectations are still very relevant today. The presence of our expectations regarding how we should experience the world, what we should be doing, or even how we should be living are much more obvious today than fifty years ago; this is due to social media. Social media has rendered life itself to become a symbolic complex.

The ant colony, which is the movie’s source of struggle and triumph, represents a typical old traditional economy. The ants relied on the fruits of their own labor. In other words, they are farmers like the other third-world countries in our today’s world. However, the time came when they no longer farm for themselves anymore. Since the beginning of the movie, the ants had to spend all of their time grazing for the grasshoppers. This is a classical depiction of a powerful nation

When considering a problem or dilemma in any circumstance it is ideal that one must look at two or more sides depending on how many there are, in order to come out with an accurate and educated view of the problem itself. If this happens all the time, in every situation where a problem arises, where everyone looks to find a solution to the problem by researching and viewing the problem itself from multiple points of view, all of the society itself will be more educated and aware of important matters, and will more easily distinguish between right and wrong positions on certain matters. In the real world, many people will believe the side with the most coverage or the most information, and they do not care enough to do their own research or

The hot, arid air burned into my soul as millions of needles pricked my delicate skin. Beads of sweat coursed down my face as I turned towards the window facing the barren desert surrounding me. My family and I were on an ever sought vacation to the Grand Canyon, yet we had to drive from New York to Arizona and I radiated impatience throughout the journey. Walls of heat shrouded me as I gasped for air, yet my efforts were fruitless, swallowing nothing but fire. As my lungs collapsed, I looked out the window and into the heart of the looming sun, taunting me from afar. Suddenly, my eyes gave out and sweat and tears engulfed them till they took their true form. A forest blanketed with soft and gleaming snow, blemished by the phrase: “Only 10 more minutes.” However, I was awakened from my revery by a vehement cry as I gazed into the eyes of tattered vultures, of every discrepancy, with an unforgettably shrill voice. “Who dares enter our land!” they screeched dissonantly. Trembling, my eyes flashed over the sun and I was standing in a perpetual desert, with vulture's eyes glued to me. I froze with fear, though the sun baked my skin.

Each ant and has specific task, which it completes repeatedly. The absolute power exerted by the leader destroys all individualism, leaving the ants with no creativity. Instead, they use trail and error to complete tasks that should take only a small amount of thought. Wart sees this occur when an ant tries with difficulty to organize three cadavers in a small burial chamber, when a small amount of reasoning would of solved the problem quickly. The ants are of a collective mind, so that what one thinks, they all think. They go about their daily lives oblivious to the control the leader has over them.
