Sometimes when one thinks of wealth, sometimes they think of all of their problems going away, and that everything in their life will suddenly be better. In some cases, this could be true, but in E Lockhart’s novel “We Were Liars,” that is not the case. This suspenseful Novel started off on a beautiful private island owned by a man named Harris Sinclair, whose family name was widely known for their wealth and power. This so called “perfect” family, surprisingly has way more problems than you would expect. Throughout this novel, Lockhart uses many symbols that represent the family and how they were affected throughout the story by their wealth. Even though there are many symbols, there was one major symbol in the story that was more important than the rest. E Lockhart uses Harris’s mansion, Clairmont, as a symbol of all of the family’s problems and shows how wealth and power can eventually lead a person to corruption.

In life and in literary text hidden meanings are quite common. There is basic level of understanding by the majority and a concealed meaning that requires a deeper level of critical thinking and analysis. Terrance Hayes provides a “poetic style that resist style” which proves hard to interpret, but I conclude he provides a common theme many might mistake for just an element of poetry (Fabu 1). A common theme present within two of his poems “Lighthead’s Guide to Galaxy” and “Antebellum House Party” as well as ”Mausoleum” from his signature book Wind in a Box is the idea of symbolism and underlying meanings within itself and how individuals tend to look for something more in things even in life instead of being as it is.

Throughout the film Stranger than Fiction, detailed imagery and symbolism are seen that gives something small a deeper meaning. It is used to relate to things together, foreshadow something that is coming, remind us of a previous occurrence in the movie, or give detail to a character. In various parts of the movie, we see a green apple. First in Harold’s mouth as he goes to work, again when Eiffel decides how she’s going to kill Harold, and the last time when Harold walk to work before he is hit by the bus. The apple is a reference to the painting The Son of Man by Rene Magritte. Another example of symbolism given in the film is the young boy seen riding his bike. The boy is seen in each of Karen Eiffel’s daydream in which she tries to come

Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe is a novel written to highlight the intriguing lives and misconceptions that are often identified with African culture.

Symbolism is the representation of ideas and qualities by a mark, sign, or object. Symbolism helps add subtle nuances and depth to literature. In The Lamp at Noon by Sinclair Ross, the many symbols represent the inner struggles and feelings of the characters. Firstly, the land symbolizes the state of the main characters’ (Ellen and Paul) marriage. Next, the violent winds outside embody the conflict between Ellen and Paul. Finally, the lamp represents Ellen and Paul’s hope for a better future. After analyzing these symbols, it is evident that they represent the character’s relationships and conflicts.

orrison used is satire. Morrison satirizes the internalized racism and what it can do to the most vulnerable member of a community, a young girl. At the same time, she does not want to dehumanize the people who wound this girl, because that would simple repeat their mistakes. Morrison decided to write a novel about how internalized racism affects young black girls in a range of ways, some petty and minute, some tragic and overwhelming. " Many critics explore how Morrison challenges prevailing stereotypes of African American women, especially in the women centered novels, like The Bluest Eye " (Raynor and Butler 175).

1. The topic chosen is topic number three. I chose this topic because of how important the use of graphic visuals are to the story Satrapi is trying to tell. It draws the reader in an unusual way that a standard novel draws its reader in. Normally, the reader visualizes what is happening in what they are reading, but with this novel that is not required. Instead, it allows the reader as well as Satrapi to focus on other important elements like her rhetoric. The logos is very prevalent through her writings. For starters she uses historical events that took place during the time period to make her stories seem more concrete and real. She also uses many relevant music stars during the time period to create that connection with her audience.

Everyone has an opinion about how something should be done or handled. No decision made will please all involved stakeholders, and the more adamant a stakeholder’s opinion, the less the decision will probably please them. This is especially true in a college community. All those involved in the community have strong thoughts about how the school should be governed, financed, promoted, and anything else dealing with it. Even those who do not attend the college have their own opinions because they feel vested in the college, especially in a small college town. They see the college as a part of the neighborhood and, therefore, feel as though whatever the college does, or however the college is viewed, is reflected back onto them. And if
