Symbolism In The First Part Last Made

4. In “The Return” by Ngugi wa Thiong’o, the protagonist, Kamau, holds a sack that effectively symbolizes the hardships and negatives that he experienced during his detention. The first example of this symbol shows as the author says, “The bundle, well wrapped with a cotton cloth had once been printed with red flowers now faded out” (Thiong’o 135). This statement shows how the bundle has gone through enough experiences to lose its color. That idea is what exemplifies Kamau. He has been kept in a detention center for many years, and in those many years he has been working very hard and beaten when he is not. Another way in which the bundle effectively symbolizes Kamau’s rough times passes through the idea that this bundle holds all of his material possessions. This shows how his care is solely put on his beloved ones. Yet, his time in the detention

The idea of future improvement, in combination with the macabre chaos caused by Wright’s use of symbolism, intensify the relatability of the poem.

However, when a person encounters a difficult dilemma, that choice can impact and even alter a person’s life. “Good People” by David Foster Wallace is an informative and insightful story of a young, unwed, Christian couple that are facing the conflicts of an unplanned pregnancy. Although outwardly this story seems to focus on “to abort” or “not to abort,” the underlying theme focuses on the internal conflicts the young man faces when weighing out the consequences of a decision. David Foster Wallace uses symbolism and an omniscient third person point of view in “Good People” to illustrate the internal battle one faces when dealing with the moral and religious dilemmas such as an unplanned pregnancy.
