The Rosemary Symbolism

We all remember dressing up for Halloween night as children. Getting together with best friends and competing to see who has the best costume or can collect the most candy. For some, this was the best night of the year. Then there are the children who sit at home and go through the motions of what their parents do. These parents inevitably will carve a generic looking pumpkin and then sit down and hand out candy to kids the remainder of the night. The children that are staying at home with their parents are handing out candy to the kids who are living and enjoying their Halloween. As Mac Hammond in “Halloween” stresses, the children that are out having fun on Halloween are the true

In the Latin American story, The Third Bank of the River, written by João Guimarães Rosa, a man leaves his family to live his life sailing back and forth on a river for years to come. His son, the main character, never accepts his father leaving the family. Years later when the other siblings have grown old and have children of their own, the son is still living in the house near the river and when his dad finally acknowledges him after years of ignoring anyone who tried to get his attention, he flees, leaving the story with an open ended conclusion. The use of magical realism is present in this story through symbolism and takes interpretation to understand the meaning behind the text. Magical realism is an author's way of using real world issues by incorporating an element of unearthly events such as magic. In The Third Bank of the River, the author uses symbolism, a warped time frame, and human reaction as metaphors for real life events.

“Come away, O human child! To the waters and the wild, With a faery, hand in hand. For the world's more full of weeping than you can understand.”(W.B Yeats) Similar to what Yeats talks about in his poem, many people feel a sense of horror as they discover that the world is not the happy place they imagined it was when they were a child. When it becomes time for a child to shed his/her innocence and take on the responsibilities of adulthood, one wishes that he/she could just run away from it all, just like the human child in this quote by Yeats. The world is full of weeping and horrors, but an innocent person can do nothing to help. Innocence cannot see injustice through its closed eyes. That is why it

Symbols have a major impact on both Things Fall Apart and The Poisonwood Bible. They help display the story in different perspectives and help us understand concepts we don’t always pick up on when first reading the novels. These symbols reveal more in depth detail about the themes of each novel as well as add to the development of characters. Some major symbols seen in Things Fall Apart are the locusts which make a reference to the Bible and are a metaphor for the coming missionaries, Okonkwo’s father, Unoka, who symbolizes Okonkwo’s failures, and fire which symbolizes destruction. The major themes in The Poisonwood Bible are the snake which represents a character from the bible, Methuselah who symbolizes the fate of the Congo and the poisonwood tree which symbolizes Nathan’s mistakes.

In The Poisonwood Bible by Barbara Kingsolver one of the major symbols was the American style garden that Reverend Nathan tries to plant in the Congo. This symbol is a metaphor for the irony where Nathan believes he is enlightening the Congo when he is actually learning from the Congo, while also containing biblical significance, which together, ultimately shows Nathan’s ignorance and one of the aspects of his daughter Leah.

The Thing in the the story The Thing in the Forest is a far more symbolic image than just a scary and dreadful monster that lingers in the forest. That also happens to be seen by two little girls that meet and become close friends while on a their way to safety.

As time passes by, society changes but the land man lives on never does. In Willa Cather’s My Antonia, Cather describes the Nebraska landscape to convey her attitude toward each character and to introduce and support the novels overall theme. As the novel progresses, Cather constantly explains the theme of man’s relationship with land and as the overall theme of this novel. Throughout the course of this story, Cather’s language institutes an unthought of deeper meaning to this account and clearly identifies relationship between man and the land they live on as the main theme.

In Tim O’Brien’s story The Things They Carried, The characters of Ted Lavender, Jimmy Cross, and the rest of the men are symbolic of strength because of how carelessly they take the situation they are in and make it better than it actually is. The story is about the Vietnam War with the men that are going to be involved with it. They take different things with them that’s considered important to one another along with the necessities. What they carry with them helps describe what kind of person they might be, for example The RTO named Mitchell Sanders carries condoms, Kiowa has the New Testament with him, and Ted Lavender carrying dope. Some may think the way they act is unrealistic, while some might think that it’s realistic. Some may
