Theoretical Ideas In El Patrón's The Coat Of Arms
The Coat of Arms created for El Patróns Empire, Opium, is based off of literal and metaphorical ideas. For example the entire reason for his empire was his anger that all seven of his siblings died. He believed he deserved the lives they did not get. Also Opium would be nothing without Poppies so to support my shield I used Poppy Flowers. Notice that there are seven flowers supporting the shield, each of the flowers represents a sibling he lost. The smallest flower represents the sister he had that throughout the story El Patrón said died of typhoid and was barely tall enough to see over the windowsill “no, not even on tiptoe”. The crest and crown of my shield are meant to resemble El Patrón himself. In english El Patrón means the boss, to …show more content…
To take the scorpion metaphor deeper I think that El Patrón captures his prey much like a scorpion. He takes them in and like a scorpion he injects them with poison. In his case the poison is turning them into eejits and/or ruining their lives by never letting them go. El Patrón believed that he deserved his siblings lives so he takes others in return. The main element on my shield is a drop of poison coming from the scorpion tail. It represents El Patrón’s wrath that fuels his empire. The colors of my shield are black, Gray, red, and white. The dark red represents El Patrón’s rage, anger, leadership, longing, malice, and wrath. The black represents his power, death he caused, and pure evil. The used the gray to represent the poison and actually means isolation. The poison of El Patrón is often just separating the from the rest of the world. The gray is sitting on white which we all know stands for innocence and purity. The shield shows the buildup of innocent lives that El Patrón takes by “poisoning them”. The motto I used for El Patrón’s Empire is “Sus Vidas Son Mis Vidas”. In english this says “their lives are my lives”. Going back to the “stolen lives of his siblings” this represents their lives being

The Coat of Arms includes two phrases, “Blessed are the peacemakers” and “Shame to him who evil thinks.” Choose one of these phrases and explain why a ruler might want it included in a coat of arms.

    Did you know that in 1996 a sheep named Dolly was cloned? It is true, scientists have been working on cloning living things. But they aren’t able to clone a human because that is not yet legal. In the book The House of the Scorpion by Nancy Farmer a boy named Matt is the clone of a powerful drug lord named El Patron. He is living with a woman named Celia when he got hurt and had to be taken to the Big House, then he ends up meeting El Patron and living in the Big House. Throughout the story Matt starts making friends with different people that treat him like a human instead of a clone, Matt has a choice to make to see if El Patron is worth it for his body parts or not. I believe the overall theme of this story is friendship. I also think the message she is trying to get across is that friends are never apart, maybe in distance, never in heart. In the story Matt really only makes a few friends such as Celia, Tam Lin, and Maria are three of the main ones that treated him like a human.…

    The definition of family often tends to mean different things among varied groups of people. Violence, like family, also varies in definition and carries different cultural values and significance. Regardless of one’s meaning of family or violence, these two things in many ways influence and impact people’s lives differently. Hector Tobar’s novel, The Tattooed Soldier shows the impact of violence on people who each see family from a different standpoint. Furthermore, in the film Sin Nombre directed by Cary Fukunaga we see a different type of family heavily integrated with violence. Both Sin Nombre and The Tattooed Soldier demonstrate that the loss of family becomes the roots of all violence. In both works the main characters, Antonio and El Casper, lose their families through violence, which creates…

    The poem immediately begins with Satan destabilizing the most significant hierarchy in the poem by defying God’s word and ultimately creating the third layer of the universe, Hell. In Book One, we find that God has created a certain order, or hierarchy, of all the creatures he has created. His Son reigns right below him and is followed by all of the cherubs and angels, which includes Satan. Satan begins to question God’s reasoning for not granting him more power and does not understand why he is placed below God’s Son. This leads to Satan’s unfaithfulness to God and religious hierarchies all together because he believes that he should be a superior figure. The greedy serpent becomes “stirred with envy and revenge” (line 35) because he wants to be set apart from his peers,…

    The Imagery of the devil on the solider is famous through old cartoons to more contemporary works however it’s meaning is based in the idea of self control and the battle of bad influences. Furthermore to this the imagery is all taking place within a arrow point downwards. The arrow works as semiotic relation to either the direction of hell or being dragged down by the devils presence. Not only does this semiotic relation between solider and devil give historical context but it leads back the concept argued by Dan campbell of catharihism. Where the purification of the well meaning solider is blurred by the influenced and the presence of the devils intent, This establishment of fictional characters allow for connection to be drawn around current generations struggles and the greatest generation. Other semitics codes the resemble this theme are the colours used in the…
