The third symbol is Bobby spray painting the wall. Bobby paints a self-portrait of a “Pale Ghost Boy” referring to himself and he is also holding a faceless baby in a carrier. The faceless baby could represent feather lack of identity because he’s new to the world. And Bobby painting himself as “pale” and “ghostly” because he could be scared and could feel like no one supported him. This symbol is important because it shows how he isn’t fully mature because he is spray painting but it shows how lonely he feels being a single parent taking care of Feather.

Symbolism is such an interesting aspect of stories that when you take the time to sit back and analyze after initially reading it, things seem to pop out at you. Something so small could mean something so great to the story and it may not occur to the reader until they have read through a few times. In “Sonny’s Blues” by James Baldwin, symbolism was used quite a bit to represent different aspects of the story. One main use of symbolism was darkness, and it was used in many different scenes within the story. Light was also symbolized a bit within the story, specifically at the end.
Throughout the novel, the reader is presented with various symbols. The symbols are clearly made evident by Holden’s constant repetition of their importance. The symbols are so important and their symbolism is directly related to the major themes of the novel.
The next symbol was the corpse that the narrator encountered in the river after the events with Bobby transpired. The narrator encountering the corpse in the lake was significant because it was a visual representation of not only the river but also death. The corpse was a representation of the river; Greasy Lake was a place filled with death, danger, and destruction. Additionally, his encounter with the corpse drew him to the realization that “…life and sin inevitably lead one to: the corpse, death” (Vannatta). The narrator’s encounter with Bobby and the woman he was with, display the sins of: pride, lust, and greed. During his submersion in the lake, the protagonist was able to perceive and understand that these sins cannot accompany him towards his path to adulthood. One can notice that the narrator is not necessarily a “bad” guy, rather he is one who is confused and wants to relate to his friends Digby and Jeff. The realization of his true character was revealed whenever he was glad that Bobby was alive. The narrator could understand that there would be trouble and repercussions had he actually died from the tire iron. His true feelings were displayed when he said, “...I suddenly felt a rush of joy and vindication: the son of a bitch was alive!” (Boyle 574). The narrator felt the sudden rush of vindication because he was now clear of any blame or suspicion that would later impact
Throughout the story, as a reader, the main characters name was not mentioned till the middle of the story when Gwen says, “‘I can’t help it, Bobby. Jesus’” (654). Bobby has heard his name like the very first time and he liked it. Not only because Gwen said it but how “[he] loved hearing her say it” (654). Bobby may not be his real name because it didn’t mention him denying his name. Bobby loves Gwen and how it changed his life meeting her. She has given him a purpose in life and with her, he feels he has an identity. He felt he does belong into this world. Before she has said his name, she says to Bobby, “’you don’t have anyone to tell you who you are, so you don’t need anyone to tell you. You just are who you are. You’re beautiful’” (651). Gwen didn’t need to know where he came from because she loved him for who he is. She didn’t need to define him and having a Social Security number is not defining who you are. She has taught him how to live his life without the pressure of knowing where you came from. While Bobby was in prison, he knew that something will happen with Gwen. He knew his father too well and what he is capable of. All through the story was his memories with her and how much needed her in his life. Without her, he is no one. “Until Gwen, you had no idea who you were. None. During Gwen, you knew. After Gwen, you’re back to wondering” (656). He has lost his full identity and it was all because
In “Everyday Use” Alice Walker used symbolism throughout the story. Symbolism is an object that has a special meaning for person. For example, Puerto Rican flag have one star and the star represent one colonies of United State. It also has three stripes. The stripes represent when you United State freedom us from Spain. The Egyptians use symbols to communicate by writing. Symbols are use in math equations, shape and sets of numbers. In the equation 1+2-4=-1, the symbols - is use for subtraction or to show a negative number, and the symbol + is use for addition.
The last technique I will be talking to you about is symbolism. Symbolism is said to be the key technique that helps an object to represent particular ideas and themes. For example, in the scene where Roy begins a cat-and-mouse game with Deckard, a dove is seen to be grasped in Roy's hand. As Roy's life is almost over, Roy undergoes a phase of transcendence, brought on by the proximity of death and the white dove. The dove in his hand, which represents peace, conveys the idea of how peace is now restored. As a result, Roy prevents Deckard from falling to his death, and ultimately becomes his saviour. This reinforces the idea that non humans tend towards humanity while humans tend towards non-humanity. As Roy releases the white dove, the duality
During the early 1960’s, the United States was emerging from a recession. Many people were struggling, but some big businesses were taking advantage of the economic distress. On April 11th, 1962, President John F. Kennedy held a news conference to talk about such big businesses, namely, steel companies. President Kennedy criticized these companies for increasing the price of steel by 3.5 percent. By appealing compellingly to logos, effectively to pathos, and rivetingly to ethos, President John F. Kennedy argues that the price increase of steel during the hard times by large companies has been a blatant disregard for their public responsibilities during an emerging recession.
Symbols in poetry can be a person , place , thing or idea . In the poem titled “ Love Poem to Los Angeles by Luis J. Rodriguez the poet uses the Hollywood Sign as a symbol to represent famous people . In another poem titled “Santa Ana of Grocery Carts “ by Aracelis Gimary the poet uses schoolyard boys as a symbol to represent young men who have died . The meaning of these symbols is similar because they both can represent people and how they’re special . However, the difference of these symbol is that the hollywood sign represents something only positive in the poem and on the other hand the schoolyard boys represent only something negative because it is related to death .
In Shirley Jackson's short story "The Lottery" symbols are used to enhance and stress the theme of the story. A symbol is a person, object, action, place, or event that in addition to its literal meaning, suggests a more complex meaning or range of meanings. (Kirszner & Mendell 330) The theme of the story is how coldness and lack of compassion can be exhibited in people in situations regarding tradition and values. That people will do incredibly evil and cruel things just for the sake of keeping a routine. Three of the main symbols that Shirley uses in the story is the setting, black box, and the actual characters names. They all tie together to form an intriguing story that clearly shows the terrible potential if society forgets the basis of tradition. The story also shows many similarities between the culture of the village, and the culture of Nazi Germany. How blind obedience to superiors can cause considerable damage to not only a community, but the entire world. Symbolism plays a large role in "The Lottery" to set the theme of the story and make the reader question traditions.
