Summary And Symbolism Of The Dog In Station Eleven
The Paperweight : The “lump of glass with a storm cloud trapped inside” is a symbol ever presented through the story as an association amidst the characters in the book over time. In its journey from the hands of Clark, Miranda, Arthur and to Kristen who although doesn’t know the history of it still treasures it, the connection between these characters is shown.
Luli : Luli is the name utilized for both the fictional Dr. Eleven’s dog ( based on Miranda’s real dog) as well as the dog of the central antagonist, the Prophet. The connection in names is a symbol of the connection between the identity of the Prophet, who had named his dog after the dog in a graphic novel his father his father ( and Kristen ) loved so much.

    Another example is Lennie’s puppy. Lennie’s puppy is one of many symbols that represents the triumph of the strong over the weak. Lennie has killed mice accidentally by not knowing his own strength just as he kills his own puppy, by virtue of his failure to recognize his own strength. Although no other character in this novel can even come close to meeting Lennie’s physical strength, the colossal Lennie will soon come face to face with a future similar to the small puppy. Like an innocent animal, Lennie is unaware of the corrupt, predatory powers that surround him. This is a very important symbol in this novel because it shows that Lennie was not aware of the harm he was causing to the people and animals around him.…

    One of the motifs Mandel uses in both Station Eleven, the novel and the comic is the appearance of the sky. In the novel, there is a reoccurrence of a storm. The scenery after Arthur died was people drinking their sadness away, some crying and in shock. “The snow was almost abstract, a film about bad weather on a deserted street.”(Mandel 15) The storm as it is described outside the theater can add to the scene, as the day ended with the death of Arthur. As seen in movies, on TV or read in other novels, almost every time something terrible occurs, the weather usually has a connection with what is happening. The storm appears again when Tanya gives Kristen a paperweight described as a “…a lump of glass with a storm cloud trapped inside.”(Mandel…

    In the novel, Lord of the Flies, symbolism played an important part in the development of story. The use of symbolism in objects develops the structure and meaning of the novel. Some examples of symbolism in objects are the pig's head, Piggy's glasses, the Conch and the Fire. One of the most important and most obvious symbols in Lord of the Flies is the object that gives the novel its name, the pig's head. The pig's head, in this novel, is described as "dim-eyed, grinning faintly, blood blackening between the teeth," and the "obscene thing" is covered with a "black blob of flies" that "tickled under his nostrils." (Pg. 151, 152). As a result of this detailed, striking image, the reader becomes aware of the great evil and darkness represented by the Lord of the Flies.…

    I was supposed to be named Rachel. It was a compromise, my mother told me, from what my dad had picked: Raquel. Growing up, I had a friend named Rachel that was nothing like me: soft, composed, and the sweetest smile. As it is hebrew, the name comes from the biblical name meaning “O Beautiful One” or “female sheep”. While this is nice and all, it was much more fitting for my friend. Never could or would I pick the animal the sheep to describe myself.…
