Themes And Symbols

In the short stories, “All Summer In a Day” and “Examination Day” their themes are related to society. “All Summer in a Day”’s theme is that not only the victim gets hurt because the bully also gets a feeling of guilt that will stay with them for the rest of their life. Ray Bradbury shows that when he says, “They walked slowly down the hall in the sound of cold rain. They turned through the doorway to the room in the sound of the storm and thunder, lightning on their faces, blue and terrible” (4). This quote is from after the other kids have spent their hours in the sun and they remember that they left Margot in the closet. They now see what they did was wrong a that they should’ve thought before they shoved her in the

Within the Christian faith, there lies the belief that all mankind are born sinners and through their faith can seek redemption. This belief can be found in more detail within the Christian text known as the Bible. An example of this can be found in the Genesis chapter of the Bible which portrays that even the very first Humans ever to be created in God’s image, named Adam and Eve, defied God despite his pre-emptive warnings not too because of their natural tendency as humans to sin. Not only can one chose with their own will to disobey God but one’s faith can be easily swayed by the evils of the world therefore sin can forever bind them in chains for eternity. “Young Goodman Brown,” by Nathaniel Hawthorne, reveals a similar

“Love and compassion are necessities, not luxuries. Without them humanity cannot survive.” Dalai Lama. This quote is expressed many times in the book, Between Shades of Gray, by Ruta Sepetys. Lina, the protagonist, is separated from her father. She, her mother, and younger brother, Jonas, go through traumatizing times most people would crumble under. Yet, she still manages to survive because she doesn’t want to lose her family, traditions, relationships and her dignity. This book shows, people who value their dignity will survive longer than those who don’t.

Updike's "A & P" is rich in symbolism and begins in the very first paragraph. Sammy is eyeing the three bikini-clad girls who walk into his supermarket where he is a checker. His reverie is interrupted, however, by a "witch" whose "feathers" Sammy has to smooth. The older generation are typically symbolized in negative terms throughout the story, those women who cannot and will not understand youth.

Hollywood Christian Highschool, I am christian so I wanted to add that, and i also live in hollywood. Also my mascot would be a Red Panda, They are wonderful,smart creatures but infourtunently, they are endangered.

These are some of the main reasons why I think that the theme of All Summer In A Day is depression. Bullying played a substantial role in margot's depression for many reasons. One example is when she talked about the sun and the other students at her school would make fun of her and tease her. Another example of the bullying she goes through is when the sun came out for 2 hours and the students shoved margot into the closet so she could not see the sun. Both these examples of her bullying played major roles in her depression which i believe is the theme.

Everyone longs for something in life, whether it was for a puppy or a raise at work. In the case of Margot and the other children in all summer in a day by ray bradbury what they are longing for is the sun which is showed by using simile, descriptive language and metaphors.Ray Bradbury uses similes and metaphors to show how the children and Margot really do miss the sun. One example of this is when Margot writs a poem about the sun. Even with this fact, some people still believe that the author's main craft is symbolism, but they clearly don't see that the author's main crafts are similes, metaphors and descriptive language. Descriptive language is also a big part of the author's craft because it describes what is so desirable about the sun to these children. For example, he uses a lot of descriptive language to describe the sun and children when the sun first comes out. That is why I think the author's main crafts are similes, descriptive language and metaphors.

In the book, The Awakening, the author Kate Chopin uses symbols to express meanings in her story about a young married woman exploring outside her comfort zone for herself and happiness. Main character, Edna Pontellier, feels trapped her in marriage as a wife and woman in the 19th century. In her quest to find her independence and true happiness, she does the unthinkable and her actions cause major conflict within herself. The book uses many symbols to express hidden meanings throughout Chopin’s story. A major symbol in The Awakening is the ocean. Since the book begins and ends here, it is a very complex and important part of the story. The ocean symbolizes freedom, growth, and rejection in Edna as she finds herself.

Depression In the dystopian story “All Summer in a Day” , by Ray Bradbury, it explains the bad things that Margot’s classmates did that made them guilty and shameful for their actions and it showed how my theme, depression, and how it is represented in the story. First, “Now the rain was slackening, and the children were crushed in the great thick windows,” (1 Bradbury). Rain symbolizes depression. Rain doesn’t allow children to go play outside and minimizes many opportunities, unlike the sun. The rain falling down also takes your mood with it.

What do you think of when you hear the word "wise?" You might think of someone like Yoda from "Star Wars," or just anyone that's old in general. Although Yoda and older people are both correct answers, if you thought of someone that possesses a lot of knowledge and experience, you are in fact correct. Wisdom is something that people of old age often have because they've been through so many situations in life. The stories "The Old Grandfather and His Little Grandson" and "The Wise Old Woman" both include characters that show wisdom throughout their stories. Both stories also have universal themes. A universal theme is a theme that is shared in multiple stories and can be applied to our lives everyday. The universal theme expressed in both of the stories is that you should treat everyone they way that you would like to be treated. Although the two stories include the same theme, they both present it in different ways.

The Sacred Realm is a theme of art that involves the concept of aspects that cannot be seen but can only be brought to existence through faith by viewing a piece of art work. This faith is usually in form of a sacred realm. It’s vital to understand that this theme cannot be viewed by the naked eye. For instance, the religious images in the visual art are employed to bring about the opinions and beliefs of the individuals who are in faith of the specific religion and this is reached by provision of abstract ideas with images thru the work of art. Therefore, the Sacred Realm theme of art explains in a virtual way the reason and purpose behind the existence of certain aspects of nature such as religion

Lauren T. and Ray Bradburg used different approaches to convey a similar theme in the “All Summer in a day” and” The Day Mrs. Park Was Arrested” are similar and different in some ways, but i’m going talk about how they’re similar. The theme that they share is they were both push around by people, and both also stood up for them self . Example that Mrs.Park was push around but also stood up for herself .Bus driver says,”Y’all better make it light on yourself, and let them have those seats”.Mrs Park said “NO”! Now Examples that Margot did the same , when the kids tried to say she didn’t write the Margot stood up and Margot said, “I did “! As you can see both authors did come to the same theme but in different

Paper #1 Love is a deep feeling that makes people has strong emotions to each other. When love exists in a relationship, the relationship will be stronger and would confront biggest problems. People would feel lost without love because it is the cure for loneliness and sadness. For example, if two people love each other and one of them is poor, the other person would not care about the money more than the relationship because they have strong feelings into each other. Therefore, every relationship must be based on love because it is a priceless cure.

Based on the Play ‘Trifles’ written by Susan Glaspell, the literary element that I would like to suggest is theme. Theme is used to convey the main idea of a story, novel, play or drama to create a better understanding of the readers about the story. In the Play ‘Trifles’, the themes that I found aregender differences and oppression of women.

Tamburlaine concentrates all his efforts on two objectives: the achievement of his empire, and marriage with Zenocrate. During the play, his two intentions are seen as complementary aspects. The use of the same category of images both for Zenocrate and for thrones and empires has the effect of keeping them in a close relationship from the beginning, anticipating the explicit recognition of their connection in the last act. In his first dialogue with her, Tamburlaine pictures her as his future queen, “Enchased with precious jewels of mine own / More rich and valurous than Zenocrate’s.” (p.10)
