    Symbols as Used in the Things They Carried

    The use of symbolism in this story is really amazing. Using the items soldiers tend to take with them to combat zone Tim O’Brien is able to tell a lot about what really soldiers have in mind, their characters and even what might be going on in their personal life. I find this a story interesting to me because when I was deployed I carried things to keep me going. Personal little items I carried with me had a meaning. In this story, although the writer is talking about things that soldiers carried with them, he is passing a message with a different meaning. He is not just telling an interesting story but also describes each of the main characters by telling the readers what these characters carry. Some of the characters carried things demanded by necessity and while some carried emotions and love. All these things they carried symbolized something.…

    Symbol in 1984

    George Orwell truly demonstrates his literacy prowess and his mastery of rhetoric in his dystopian novel 1984 through his use of symbolism. There are numerous symbols present throughout the story which serve to expand the narrative. Some of the most effective implementations of symbolism in the novel directly relate to the story’s protagonist, Winston Smith.

    Ebro Symbolism

    The nature of the river Ebro’s is dialectical in nature and offers a visual for what could be to come for the two lovers. “There was no shade and no trees; however, on the opposite side were fields of grain and trees along the bank of the Ebro.” (Hemingway 181-184). This passage reveals the contrast in the opposing sides of the river, one having almost no vegetation and relatively devoid of life and the other being fertile brimming with possibility. These two polar opposites are revealing some potentials of the imminent decision that the couple is preparing to make. The barren side representing the decision to have the abortion, exterminating a possibility for life or possibility. Then, the opposite illustrative of the couple choosing to keep…

Harrison Bergeron tries to be the savior of the society and makes a stand showing how prejudiced this civilization is, but he ends up failing in the end.…

    Ying Yang Symbol

    The Yin Yang symbol also commonly referred to as the Tai-Chi symbol is easily thought of in today’s popular culture as a reference to the Sun (yang) the moon (yin) and the universe. Allen Tsai’s article provides some insight into the origins of the symbol itself, the meaning behind the curvature of the symbol, and how the Chinese symbol has found a place in popular culture. Allen Tsai goes into explicit detail on how the Chinese developed a surprising understanding of the stars and how they used the constellations and the sun to determine the seasons, the length of a calendar year and the time of the earths rotation around the sun. Tsai explains how the symbol is at its basic meaning a “Chinese representation of the entire celestial phenomenon.” In Alexia Amvrazi’s essay discussing the Evil Eye symbol, she presents all aspects of the symbol including what it is used for, who uses it, and why it is used. She explains that the Evil Eye is “a glance believed to have the ability to harm those on whom it falls” and can take place at any given time from any given person. (Amvrazi).…
