The Meaning Illustrations Of Dave Ward
During new student orientation week, we had Dave Ward talk about two interesting illustrations that were very eye-opening as a new student. The first illustration that he talked about was ping-pong balls. He took the concept of them and talked about full truths, half-truths, and lies. He then used an example of hula-hoops as ways to encircle specific thoughts and how we have to decide what was right from wrong. The hula-hoops also signified a blockage of seeing the big picture. The second illustration was a stained glass analogy. This analogy was where each of our individual majors represented a different color in a stained glass cross. In other words, all of us together combine to make a beautiful masterpiece.

In addition, one of the core

    In the twenty-second paragraph, Dillard uses imagery to describe scenes that she was only able to see because she was in the airplane with Rahm. Up in the air, the “mountain looked infernal, a drear and sheer plane of lifeless rock.” She chose to include this imagery in order to explain how the art created by the plane’s movements brought life to the landscape. The audience understands how flying with Rahm allowed Dillard the opportunity to do things she has never done before. They are also able to see through her eyes as if they were also in the plane.…

    As I read Dispatches by Michael Herr, there is an overwhelming sense of fear and horror. His dispatches are populated by soldiers called 'grunts', whose enemy was everywhere and nowhere. Their maps were blank; their names for the enemy, 'Charlie' or 'VC', told them nothing. How do you recognize them? They all wear black pajamas; they are all alien to us. They are everywhere. That's where the paranoia began. Herr's dispatches are disturbing because he writes from inside the nightmare, with all the tension and terror that turned these young men into killing machines. It is all the more frightening because, emptied of any concerns for justice, or ethics, or solidarity, they opened fire anywhere, everywhere. After all, who could know where or who the enemy was?…

    I believe that Art Spiegelman chose to depict his characters as mice, cats, pigs and the like because it was symbolic of the position of power at the time of the Holocaust. For example, the Jews are represented as mice. I believe that this is symbolic of the fact that the Jews, like mice, were being hunted and eradicated. Additionally, they were forced to live like mice by hiding and scavenging for food. The Nazis are depicted as cats, I believe, to represent that they were the “hunters”, chasing and killing the Jews. Americans are portrayed as dogs because, in this instance, they drove away the Germans or, the cats. Other characters were represented as animals in this story, as well. For example, the Polish were drawn as pigs and the…

    In the short story “The Boat” Alistair MacLeod writes a story that predominately deals with the power of the past over the present. She uses symbols such as the boat which eventually transforms into books. From the father’s strong perspective, the boat symbolizes the means of survival for his family and imprisonment whereas, from the father and daughters point of view the books, which replace the boat symbolizes liberation and escape from the traditions of fishing.

    One characteristic present in romantic stories is symbolism. In The Devil In Daniel Webster, Daniel left his old life in the country for his new found prosperity in the city. Influenced by the Devil, and his own enjoyment, he became a bank broker. However, in his later years Daniel became an avid church goer as means to keep the Devil from collecting his soul. He kept “his big bible on the desk, buried by the mortgage he was about to foreclose”(Irving 14). This symbolizes that he places his values in material wealth instead of than spiritual happiness. Daniel demonstrates that he is not fully committed to his new found faith, instead he concerns himself with ruining other peoples lives, just like the Devil did to him. Daniel perfectly validates…
