In the book To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee, different symbols are used that are reflective throughout the book either directly, or more often, obscurely being tied to the ultimate theme of the book, which is being able to understand someone from their point of view. Whether it is in literature or even shown in pictures, when people use things to represent something with a deeper meaning, it is called symbolism. The most apparent reoccurring theme though is equality because of the fact it is symbolized through people, birds, and even inanimate objects Scout and Jem encounter over the course of the book. By doing this, the reader is able to obtain a better and deeper sense of what Lee is truly trying to say, and their connections to the story and the way they help make the reader experience the time period of the 1930’s. Equality was and still is a problem as reflected in the book, but it is the way Lee brings those symbols to our attention that makes us realize how close to the exact same spot we were over 80 years ago that is able to make the reader that much more intrigued. A few examples of equality symbols in the book include: Tom Robinson, mockingbirds, Atticus Finch, and the snowman built from both mud and snow.

In the movie, The Mission, the Jesuit Priest, Father Gabriel, played by Jeremy Lyons, in an effort to liberate the Guarani people by proselytizing them to Christianity, becomes their oppressor by changing their natural beliefs and practices. While his intentions are meritorious, they display another form of colonialism and oppression. He does learn the Guarani’ language. However, this appears to be only as an attempt to teach them his way or the Jesuit way. Instead of learning the Guarani culture and assimilating therein, he attempts to convert them to European culture. As an example he teaches them music, which they had no knowledge of prior to his coming. He decides what is best for the people and what they should learn. In one of the earliest scenes in the movie the people did not wear clothes. Later on, we see the Guarani fully clothed, which was an indication that the priests taught them that they should wear clothes. Prior to his coming, the Guarani could be said to be in a “Garden of Eden” state

“Each person traces a unique trajectory of experiences through space and time; as a consequence, each encounter with the world results in an even more unique trajectory of cumulating experiences (Levinas, 1972; Markova, 2006, 2013a; Winnicort, 1990)”. So much of who she had become was a direct product of her development. The timeframe I’ve chosen to write about is six to twelve. The writer chose to write about this since this is the timeframe she could actually recall the greatest amount of memories from her childhood. As a part of the research process, she got a few books from the library that helped to gain understanding of the memories, jumbled thoughts, and certain headliners that occurred in that timeframe of her life.
