Metaphor Of Gravity Falls

Decent Essays
Show More
I speculate that the show Gravity Falls is a metaphor of the 2016 election.

From what I know, Li'l Gideon represents Trump, where he had white hair and seen in a suit. He is a fraud, a metaphor of Trump who uses lies to manipulate people, especially whites to support him.

The Pines represents the Democratic party. Mabel herself serves Clinton. At the beginning of the series, we see Mabel and Li'l Gideon dating, eventually breaking up. The break-up is a metaphor to Trump and Clinton announcing their presidential run.

Dipper represents Tim Kaine; Grunkle Pines represents Sanders, and Ford Pines represents Former Mayor Mike Bloomberg. Bill Cipher himself represents Mike Paine early in the series and later Wikileaks founder Jullian Assange.

    The Vietnam War started in 1959, causing 58,119 american deaths (Hickman). In “The Things They Carried” by Tim O’Brien, O’Brien describes how the rookie soldiers feel through the hard times of the war. All the soldiers are frightened, but refuse to show their inner fear.

    Liberation Of The Peon Diego Riveras Analysis

    The two murals I chose were both painted by Diego Rivera around the same time period between 1923 and 1947 with the first, “Liberation of the Peon being painted in 1923 and the second “dream of a Sunday Afternoon in Alameda Park” being painted from 1946-47. “Emiliano Zapata’s aim was to bring about agrarian reform and freedom to the poor and working class citizens. But how successful/how lasting was the influence of Zapata and/or agrarian reform on both the Mexican Revolution and present day Mexico. Both the murals I chose convey the same message but in different forms for instance “Liberation of the Peon” describes the conditions for the poor/ lower class citizens. Through both the imagery of what looks to be a bunch of men and there horse's freeing another man from a sake he's that he's tied to, and through…

    Racism In Star Trek

    Lastly, one episode of Star Trek is a clear statement on racism and its inherent disutility. " Let That Be Your Last Battlefield" (airdate 1/10/69) is about two half-white half-black beings from the planet Cheron who bring their senseless racial struggle to the Enterprise. Lokai is the first to come aboard the Enterprise- he arrives in a stolen shuttlecraft asking for asylum. His pursuer, Bele, soon afterwards arrives on the Enterprise asking to take Lokai back to their home planet to stand trial for political crimes. Bele explains to Captain Kirk at one point his reason for wanting to take Lokai back to Cheron.…

    Theme Of Symbolism In Fahrenheit 451

    Fahrenheit 451, written by Ray Bradbury, takes place in a time where books are bad and freedom of speech no longer exists. People are told what to think, what to believe, and hear only what they are wanted to hear. This is a prime example of the recurring theme in this book, censorship, and overcoming a fear to do what you feel is right. There are multiple literary elements such as symbolism, represented strongly through the characters and the events they go through, which help express and solidify the themes in the book. Whether it be a terrified intellectual, a bright fire burning, or a fireman who questions his job, Fahrenheit 451 uses a multitude of symbolism to create a magnificent book of censorship and overcoming a fear to fight for…

    The Role Of Guitar In Toni Morrison's Song Of Solomon

    Oftentimes, authors create certain characters to resemble a reality, as in the case of Guitar, from Toni Morrison’s novel, Song of Solomon. Guitar Bains, the main character Macon “Milkman” Dead III’s best friend, is an African-American man living in a time of great discrimination. It is likely Morrison creates Guitar in attempt to represent the feelings of many African-Americans during this time, specifically Malcolm X. Malcolm X was an American-Muslim minister and human rights activist. Most of his work is from 1946, when he joined the Nation of Islam while in prison, until his assassination in February of 1965, by three members of the Nation of Islam. The Nation of Islam is also referred to as the ‘Black Muslims.’…

    Abortion In Hills Like White Elephants, By Ernest Hemingway

    For instance, the bamboo bead curtain is a symbol for a barrier between the American and Jig. Where it divides Jig, the sensitive girl who touches and feels the curtain, from the American who just reads the advertisement printed on it, but otherwise disregard the curtain; (Gilmour para. 1) which represents the opposition between Jig and the American on the subject of abortion. The mention of the hills being white elephants is symbolic as well. After the American mentions the operation the message becomes quite clear. Jig’s comment about white elephants refers to an unwanted pregnancy that the American believes is a white elephant; or in other words a problem.…

    Imagery In Maya's 'Shoulders Falling Down Like Teardrops'

    Imagery is dominant in this poem, especially after Maya questions her oppressors. Most of the imagery is conveyed through similes and metaphors, and gives the readers a clear view on what Maya is trying to get across. The use of figurative language gives the readers a clear picture of what Maya means and usually conveys a strong emotion. When Maya says “Shoulders falling down like teardrops” we can get an image of drooping shoulders (like the shape of a tear) and the tear itself is associated with sadness. I found one particular stanza quite amusing; Maya asks questions that are aimed at the ‘white’ people.…
