The Symbolism Of Death In The Western Hall

The first symbol I chose was a key. The key represents trust. I choose this symbol because I can trust my family. The key also represents a bond that holds us all together. One key one family! The second symbol I chose was a lion. The lion represents confidence and strength. The confidence my family and I have is the faith to love one another no matter what. We are a strong family because without each other we wouldn’t be strong. The last symbol I chose was a dog. The dog represents loyalty. I choose

A symbols is something used for or regarded as representing something else. The murals on the walls inside of Neville's house, for instance, are a symbolic escape. Neither of the murals depicted any human beings, so they reinforced his feelings of isolation. The murals act as a “life force…[and have]... a tangible, mind controlling potency...” Roberts house is another symbol. The house symbolizes protection and acts as a barricade. While the vampires wait on the lawn Robert is protected within his safe haven. His home is the only connection he has to his deceased family members. Inside his home he can research and continue to find the cause of the mutation that has turned the population into monsters. A last symbolic element is when Robert finds the dog. The dog symbolizes hope that Neville is not alone and that there may be more beings that have survived like him. Shortly after Neville befriends the dog it dies. Furthermore adding to the symbol; now creating the loss of hope. Although these symbols are different together they convey the theme of alienation and the hope that Neville has of surviving by finding a

I chose the clock because the clock symbolizes three things to me. In the book/movie, “Masque of The Red Death”, the clock relate to the theme by telling the people how much longer they have to live. The chymes also relates to the theme. For my last symbol I used the location of the clock.

Artists use many different symbols when it comes to getting their message across, some are very interesting, and others are hard to actually understand, however if you look a little deeper into the meaning, and the things around the piece you may be able to actually depict what the symbol is and the meaning behind it.

One of the symbols would be the clock that made "a sound which was clear and loud and deep and exceedingly musical, but of so peculiar a note and emphasis that, at each lapse of an hour." Its not hard to guess that it could have been

Another symbol I chose was the two arrows crossing over each other. This symbolizes friendship. My friends are an immense part of me. What this represents in my life is how my friends support and help me. They can be my emotional support, and are always there when I need them. Even I cannot me independently strong forever. My close relations help me rejuvenate my strength by cheering me up and helping me. The next symbol is a triangular symbol. It is a Celtic symbol for family. My family is my biggest support system. They are the reason why I am here today.They are also a main part of my life so I represent that through symbols.

The first symbol, Meg’s laptop, is a huge part of the book, which I displayed in the trailer through the use of clips and words. Cody finds emails and encrypted files on Meg’s laptop, which was how she found who helped Meg choose to commit suicide. The second symbol, the two kittens, is a relatively important symbol in this book, which I showed in a clip towards the end of the trailer. Meg adopted two stray kittens that were sick and starving. The kittens showed the caring and compassionate side of Meg. But since Meg was no longer there to care for them, Cody had to find a home for them. Ben offered to take care of them, and the kittens were Cody’s excuse for visiting Ben over and

This symbol helps shape my beliefs and faith as it shows me that we are all the same. In this world many people get so caught up in materialistic entities that we forget we are all equal. This shows that at the end of time, when my body turns to dust, my house would not matter, nor my clothes, nor my grades. This is something that I do to keep me in check as it helps me realize the things that actually matter because many priorities that I seem to have are useless in the end. This reaches into my faith as in the Bible, God made us equally and loves us the same, so I should reinforce his word through this symbol

Edgar Allen Poe, in the short story “The Masque of the Red Death”, shows how people may try to outsmart death and surpass it, but in the end they will die since death is inevitable. He reveals this in the book by showing all the people closed up in the abbey that belongs to Prince Prospero. They are trying to escape the “Red Death” and think that they can escape the death by hiding away in the abbey. They manage to stay safe for six months but in the end they all die after the stroke of midnight during the masquerade ball Prince Prospero puts on from the Red Death itself which appears after midnight and leaves no survivors in the end. Poe develops the theme of how no one can escape death through the use of the point of view, the setting,

Many cultures find it important to honor the deceased, simply having a funeral is an example of this. In Western Africa, different groups used different art as a way to honor the memory of their people who had died. Africans, like other cultures, have different reasons for memorializing the dead, but it comes down the idea that death is not the end.

Symbols throughout history, no matter what kind, are what gave people the drive to fight for a cause. In other words, many people use symbols to give them even a speck of drive to be something greater. Someone can only fight for something if they have something to fight for, and those symbols are formed by a brave person who has the drive to lead, helping many people get to where we are now.

This symbolizes friendship. My friends are another immense part of me. What this symbol represents me in my life is how my friends support me and help me. They can be my emotional support, and are always there when I need them. My close relations help me improve me strength by cheering me up and helping me. The next symbol is the triangle symbol. It is a Celtic symbol for family. This symbol also speaks to me because I am Irish. My family is my biggest support system. They are the reason why I am here.

The reason I chose my symbol to be Mickey Mouse is because Mickey has outlasted time and his creator. I want to do something that will make me known so that I won’t die having done nothing with my life. I added a music note to symbolize how much music is a part of my life and family. Music calms me and only music can help me when I’m at my lowest.

Poe’s writings all had something used to symbolize death in the story or poem. One of his stories entitled, “The Masque of the Red Death” a clock would chime every hour. There would be moments of silence then everything would resume back to how it was. It says, “And these—the dreams--writhed in and about, taking hue from the rooms, and causing the wild music of the orchestra to seems as the echo of their steps. And, anon, there strikes the ebony clock which stands in the hall of the velvet. And then, for a moment, all is still, and all is silent save the voice of the clock. The dreams are stiff-frozen as they stand. But the echoes of the chime die away--they have endured but an instant--and a light, half subdued laughter floats after them as

Another symbol that I thought was very interesting was that in the beginning of the movie she random faucet in one of her room that only drip water. Throughout the movie a little bit more water comes until closer to the
