Symbolism In Tears Of A Tiger

The Original 1991 Beauty and the Beast movie has many symbols. One of them is Lumière the candle holder. In about half way through the movie Belle goes to the west-wing when it is forbidden. When she enters the beast’s room she sees a flower but right when she was about to touch it the beast comes in and gives a big roar to frighten her off. It is then when she wants to escape and go back home with her father. When she was grabbing her coat to exit you hear her share a small piece of dialogue with the Lumière and Cogsworth. In this dialogue they asked Belle where she is going and she says she can’t be there another minute. With the cold wind coming in from the outside Lumière’s candles extinguish.

self. The clearest examples of this struggle are shown in the two victims of suicide, Dale Harding and Billy Bibbit. Before their deaths, both characters felt a sense of uneasiness and discomfort in the psychiatric ward. Though they attempt to seem impassive and mentally stable, the men face issues within themselves and their reasons for being in the ward. Harding reveals that his issue within himself concerns his sexuality. He mentions that he feels “inferior” when “looking at the bosom” of his own wife. He also mentions comments about homosexuality, which leads readers to understand that he is in the psychiatric ward due to his sexuality. Due to these internal struggles, Harding decides to drown himself in the ward’s pool. Bibbit, on the other hand, struggles with his self-esteem. He explains that his stutter does not give him much confidence and that he has struggled to ever have relations with a woman. At the end of the story, McMurphy hires Bibbit a prostitute in hopes of gaining money and improving Bibbit’s attitude. When Bibbit is caught with the prostitute by Mrs. Ratched, his anxiety reaches a peak point. Upon being sent to the doctor’s office after being scolded, Bibbit decides to slit his own throat to avoid conflict with the ward and his mother. The internal struggle and violent responses to it show the more serious, life-or-death conflicts in the

Cecelia Ahern, author of Love, Rosie once wrote, “Home isn’t a place, it’s a feeling”. This relates to the main character of The Good Braider by Terry Farish, because for Viola, home is more of a feeling of stability rather than a place. The Good Braider is a harrowing and eye opening novel depicting the story of Viola, a teenage girl whose life changes drastically when she flees her home in favor of safety. Viola leaves life as she knows it in war-ravaged South Sudan with her mother and brother on the path to a better life in Portland, Maine. In Juba, she endured rape, fear, and apprehension. However, she survived these circumstances with the symbolic help of elephant bone given to Viola by her mother. As time went on and she immigrated to America, the elephant came to symbolize a connection between her life back home and her new life in Portland. Towards the end of the novel, the elephant becomes a symbol of comfort in stressful situations. As you can see, over the course of The Good Braider, the elephant symbol changes as Viola does; what was once a symbol of strength at the beginning of Viola’s journey transforms into a connection between Juba and Maine, and finally becomes a form of comfort.

Rachel’s Tears has a lot of significant symbols and pictures, however I choose to make her eyes and the rose the main symbol. I choose this picture because the book is in a significant way named after the picture she drew before she died, which are the eyes and rose. The thirteen tears represent how many students died on April 20,1999. The reason the tears are watering a plant is because, when the students died they brought life to people they had never met. Their deaths changed people’s lives forever. The eyes represent Rachel’s eyes. I have decided to use two quotes from the book, because they were the most commonly used ones in the book.
