Symbolism In The Story The Other Choise

After reading the book, The Other Side, the author uses symbolism, tone, and he wrote it to an audience. The book is based on racism, today we may not know about it, and it still goes on today. Whites and blacks have both been against each other until one very powerful leader stopped racism. The book has lots of symbolism related to racism.

Everyone needs hope in their lives for the good times and the bad. Hope is an essential part of human life, which is sometimes symbolized into objects. Legend by Marie Lu is a dystopian story about Day, a slum sector teen criminal, and June, a wealthy military prodigy. Marie Lu uses Day’s pendant to symbolize the hope and freedom Day and June yearn for.

Did Bobby, a sixteen year old boy that was masterfully crafted by Angela Johnson, become a real man? In the book, The First Part Last made, Bobby, the main character, attempts to find his identity while coping with a newborn baby. Bobby struggles through the book trying to find out what a man really is and what they are supposed to do. It could be argued that Bobby did come of age by the end of the book. Many objects, symbols, within the book could prove or disprove that thought.

The poem A Story by Li-Young Lee is the complex story of a father, son and the way their relationship changes as time goes on. The bittersweet use of symbolism and imagery makes readers feel the emotion behind the boy’s plea for a story and the father’s frustration at not being able to think of one and his fear of his son leaving him.

In the book, The Other Side, there is a girl, Clover, who lives in a yellow house. On the other side of the fence, there is another girl, Annie Paul, that comes and sits on the fence. The only difference between the two is, Clover is black; Annie Paul is white. In, The Other Side, the tone is everybody is created equal. The symbolism is the fence; the audience is children.

In the book “The Other Side” The author Jacqueline Woodson wrote about the struggles and abolition of slavery, with symbolism, while also using a child’s point of view, and showing people are not born terrible, or racist, they are molded like that, either by peers or parents, while having a time appropriate tone. There was a plethora of symbolism, for example when Clover said that someone will take this fence someday. The author uses the fence as the racial barrier and uses rain as oppression of slaves where the slaves would try to stay protected, while the free people would bask in others suffering, if realizing it or not. When the rain ceded that represented oppression, and slavery ending, but the barrier, "fence" was still up.

There’s a lot of literary techniques used in “How to read literature like a professor”. One of the techniques is symbolism. In chapter 12 it talks about someone walking on a road and they encounter two roads that diverge into the woods. There’s a road that everyone uses and then there’s one that almost no one uses and he decides to take that road for some reason. “Two roads diverged into a wood, and I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference”. To me this symbolizes freedom and decision making. Everyone has to make decisions in their lives ranging from what to eat during lunch to life changing decisions

Two roads diverging in different directions lead to an unknown destination because no one knows where the paths will take them. The two paths in the woods are symbolic for there being many choices in life. The speaker also depicts the two paths with leaves covering both equally, which shows that both are mysterious and lead to somewhere unknown to the person traveling it. Also, that no matter what choice is made do not look back, but to keep moving forward. For example in the poem the speaker says, “I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference.” (536) it depicts that the person is picking the path not commonly chosen by others even if it does not lead to good things. It may be much more difficult, and although it is going against everyone it has set the speaker apart from others.

Edgar Allen Poe is known for the various literary devices he uses in his works. One of the most famous devices he uses is symbolism. In many of his stories, including “The Masque of the Red Death,” “The Fall of the House of Usher,” “The Tell-Tale Heart,” and “The Cask of Amontillado,” Poe uses symbolism to further develop each story by the messages he writes between the lines. Symbolism is an important aspect of Poe’s many works, seeing as how it allows the readers to make connections within the stories. In “The Cask of Amontillado,” Poe represents symbolism through the title of the short story, the outfit Fortunato wears, and the Montresor family motto and coat of arms.

The life of Edgar Allan Poe can best be described as full of darkness with bright moments at times, yet he has some good ideas and good writing skills. Edgar Allan Poe is a good writer of stories and poems. His writings are about love and death. Poe has good ideas and great writing, but his stories and poems always end in darkness. Poe can be described as a great writer with deep and dark subjects.

Symbolism is a very important aspect of writing good literature. Symbolism can han have a major impact on a piece of literature, it can make a bad writing really interesting or it can make a good writing have a totally different meaning. Most readers miss the symbols the first time reading through the work and they don't get it until someone teaches them or if they read it again, sometimes the symbols are hard to detect in the story or poem, and other times they can be super easy to find such as a giant red A on your chest. In 1984 the many Symbol was pretty easy to figure out and a had a big meaning for part of the book which was really fascinating once you figured it out. Overall symbolism is very important and hopefully everyone who reads this will realize that.

“The Road Not Taken” by Robert Frost contains powerful symbolism to depict the theme that there are challenging choices in everyday life that all people face. Upon reading the poem for the first time, it would seem as if the imagery were straight-forward; however, the fork in the road not only represents two paths that may be taken, but also a conflict between two choices that must be made. The speaker of the poem tells of one path that “was grassy and wanted wear,” illustrating that this road has not been traveled often (Frost 9). According to this illustration of the symbolism, in every fork in the road, there will be two, or more, options to pick from; one of them will be chosen more often than the other for a variety of reasons. However,

William Blake’s “The Tyger” in Songs of Experience, written in 1794, describes the Tyger as “fearful” while appreciating its beauty. During this time, Blake was one of the first people to see a tiger; this inspired him to write “The Tyger” and paint the creature as a majestic but fierce being. Although the origins of the Tyger are questioned, the creator is referred as “he” implying a male divine creator. While examining who or what created the Tyger, in addition to the industrial and fiery imagery, the answer could reveal what the Tyger symbolizes. William Blake’s “The Tyger,” in Songs of Experience, uses the creation of the Tyger, along with the dark, fiery environment, to argue the Tyger belongs to the creator's world and was created for a purpose; although the creature may be labeled as evil and symbolizes the negative parts of the human mind, the creature represents the other half to create a whole.

Northeastern University should be the most impressive organization I have participated in which there was a prominent use of symbols. According to Keyton (2010, p. 19), "In summary, a symbol is a collective representation of a culture when the symbol or meaning is deeply felt or held, is interpretable within a community, and is widely accessible to members of the community." For example, the Husky, the mascot of Northeastern University, always notices me that I am a member of the University of Northeastern Community. As is mentioned by Keyton (2010), Jayhawk, the mascot of the University of Kansas, identifies the students, staff, faculty, alumni, and local businesspeople as belonging to the University of Kansas, and then helps to tie them to others who are also members of the Jayhawk community. So does husky shape my own interactions and the interactions of others in Northeastern University.

The poem begins with a literal fork in the road. Almost automatically Frost allows us to picture ourselves as the subject of the poem. His vivid imagery describes how the road looks with the leaves turning colors during the fall season “Two roads diverged in a yellow wood” () we are transported into the poem. Due to the beauty of both paths the speaker wants to travel both roads but he understands that is not possible. The man in the poem does not want to stay a long time in the middle of the two roads so he knows he has to make a choice soon. He begins to examine the roads closely and one seems like the better option but he chooses the other one despite peering onto the path of the seemingly better choice .
