The title To Kill a Mockingbird is of great significance, as it holds symbolism of innocence being destroyed by evil that is manifested in many ways throughout the novel. The symbol of the mockingbird is very important, as it represents innocence defeated by evil, and is shown all the way through the novel and creates textual integrity.

“hidden” symbols are waiting to be uncovered by a discerning eye. Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining is undoubtedly one of these films that have an abundance of symbols, many of which have even caused the birth of conspiracy theories. Using blood, a German typewriter, and a maze as symbols, Kubrick is able to create an underlying theme that history repeats itself when people do not learn from their mistakes.

We no longer have to use hand signals, smoke signals, sending messages via pigeons, or travel a long distance to talk to relatives or friends.
