Soldiers having the swastika on their arm shows they are for the Nazium. Flag to them is like the American flag to The United States. They have respect for their flag and their country.

    I think this is supposed to show how the political leader has total control of the lives of the people in his country. This picture shows the loss of freedom the Germans had to endure under the Nazis. Document 8, was an excerpt from a German textbook. It was teaching kids how to “tell the difference” between other races and Germans. This was used to marginalize other races to unite the German people.…

    Symbols In The Handmaid's Tale

    Chapter 12 (“Is That a Symbol”) of How to Read Literature Like a Professor by Thomas Foster, relates to the novel, “The Handmaid’s Tale”because of its symbolism. The different colors each character wears, represents something different about who they are in the Gilead society. For example, the handmaid’s all wear red clothes, which symbolizes their fertility and their ability to create a child. However, it can also represent death and prohibition. Offred realizes that she is surrounded by “red; the color of blood, which defines us.” The wives in the Gilead society wear blue, similar to Serena, who is pretty superior during that period. It contrasts from Offred’s red clothes, which suggests tension between her, as well as…

    Symbols In Jesus Camp

    Heidi Ewing and Rachel Grady’s documentary “Jesus Camp” is an eye-opening display of the intense power which can be directly associated with the belief of a deity, or some form of higher power. Following Pentecostal children’s pastor Becky Fischer and her unsettling children’s camp “Kids on Fire”, viewers are shown a series of clips demonstrating their deep-seated religious conviction. Among the various dialogue and imagery portrayed throughout Jesus Camp, the direct correlation between such a film and the demonic theory becomes increasingly apparent. Not only is power equated with the church, those who falter in their beliefs are looked down upon. Furthermore, speaking frequently of the temptation of sin, the acceptance of Jesus, and the ultimate…

    1936 Nazi Olympics

    Before masses of people flocked to Berlin, Germany had to calm down and stop discriminating on Jews so they could start with their political propaganda. Germany cleaned up its streets and strung up posters of the infamous Swastika known for peace and love (Bachrach Pg.32). One of the best forms of propaganda during the time was a movie called The Olympiad produced by Leni Riefenstahl which was a documentary of the 1936 Olympics.

    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.…

    Symbols In The Minister's Black Veil

    Symbolism is a literary tool that writers use to carry meaning throughout their stories and to give their work more depth. This technique can be used by the author to do one of two things; he clarify and/or simplify the symbolic meanings within the text to allow his intended meaning to be prevalent and unquestionable, or, he can use it to set up multiple possibilities as to the true meaning of the story, thus leaving this open for interpretation by the reader. In Nathaniel Hawthorne’s story “The Minister’s Black Veil”, we see many examples of symbolism. This story begins with the congregation turning to find that their minister is wearing a black veil upon his face. Throughout the story the meaning of the veil is questioned by the congregation and eventually…

    Symbols In The Awakening

    Around the late 1800s and early 1900s, there were fixed roles for men and women as dictated by a male dominated society. The Awakening, written by Kate Chopin in 1899, can be taken to show how some women of that particular time felt confined. They were expected to be everything: a caring mother, a loving wife, a social friend. In The Awakening, the main character, Edna, decides to veer off from that path of what is socially expected from her, and in such creates her own desolation. She opts to satisfy herself over what she is accountable for. In the end, there could be no happy ending for her because of this. Chopin assimilates many motifs and symbols including minor characters to contrast Edna’s complications with her own identity and place…

    History of the Swastika

    Most people associate the swastika with Hitler, the Nazis, and the Holocaust. Because of this, it has become a symbol of hatred and violence. However, the symbol known as the swastika has been in existence for three thousand years, and a variety of cultures have used it in a variety of ways. The initial meaning of the symbol was a positive one, and some cultures looked at the symbol as a religious emblem, similar to a cross, but it also symbolized good luck and power. The symbol has been used throughout history to decorate everything from buildings and temples to pottery vessels and even military uniforms. Cultural appropriation is the adoption of elements of one culture by members of a different cultural group who may eventually become the new face of said cultural practices, passing the illusion that certain cultural practices are authentic to them. Cultural appropriation is the act of copying another people's culture to the extent that it may eventually seem authentic to the mimicker. For decades fashion magazines, Television advertisements and music videos have been exploiting the traditions of various cultures in order to make money. In turn, these singular representations perpetuate stereotypes and minimize vast cultures as singular monolithic ideas. The lines between personal property and public domain are becoming increasingly blurred as more people become connected by the Internet. In her article, the main point Rachel Kadish makes is that, "If your face isn't private property, what is?" (Kadish 262). She is referring to the self-portrait of her cousin, Noam Galai. After he uploaded the picture to his Flickr account, it was then downloaded by tons of people, who represented the work in ways he had not intended. Some even sold T shirts and prints of the picture for their own personal profit. Theft of digital property is nothing new on the Internet, and for some reason, stealing data…

    Flag Tattoos Symbol

    There are many symbols in the story; for example, black cigar, tuxedos, and the flag tattoo. The flag tattoo represents the American dream, something that the black boys were not able to have or achieve. The unknown narrator is one of the brighter students in the community and is given the opportunity to give a speech, but to give the speech, he has to go through many difficulties. First, he had to fight his other colored boys and second, he got electrocuted attempting to pick up coins— which turned out to be fake. The whole process of going through the trial is symbolic because the black community had to go through many troubles to gain freedom, and even after gaining freedom, they did not have it any easier because they were still discriminated…

    Confederate Symbols

    Unfortunately, this answer raises serious questions concerning legality issues, as government intervention appears the only option. Under the editorial’s reasonings, both private and public Confederate symbols would be removed from the public. Plus, it is unfair to those suffering from the racist behaviors of Confederate flag supporters to only remove the artifacts from the public, but allow those same artifacts to be owned by the very people who discriminate them. Indisputably, however, human beings are both prideful and stubborn, and the entire population of America will not allow symbols of the Confederacy to be simply removed from their own private property. Government action –laws announcing that it is prohibited to own or display these…

    World War 2 Propaganda Analysis

    It opens with caricatures of the Axis powers marching up and down the street singing a song about how much they love the “Fuehrer”. Everything, even the farm animals, heil Hitler. Donald Duck is depicted as a worker in nazi Germany, reading Mein Kampf over a breakfast of wooden bread and a single coffee bean dipped in water. He goes to work in a factory making shells and constantly heiling Hitler. Donald works nonstop with no breaks before waking up in his own bed in good ol’ America. The purpose of the film was to portray life in Germany as it actually was. Hitler described it in his speeches as the greatest country in the world, a paradise for the people he deemed worthy. Obviously, he was not telling the truth. Nazi Germany was unpleasant at best even for aryan…
