First on Hemingway symbolism is river. The river is something that Nick can rely on, like a certainty, or like a insurance. Now, while Heraclitus said that “No man ever steps in the same river twice, for it's not the same river and he's not the same man.”For Nick it provides all sorts of safety clearly because he knows that it will always be there in the same place. If the readers see, change isn’t Nick’s thing—at least, not with the way he is in this story. Stuff like the burned town of Seney

Gulliver's Travels by Jonathan Swift is a prose satire on human nature. Many people believe that this piece of writing has a underlying lesson of man's true nature.

It has been brought to our attention that some oligarchs want to shift decision-making power to a smaller Governing Council. Our direct democracy is in danger of being overthrown.
