matters. The symbol being acknowledged today is the Khanda. The Khanda is a symbol that represents the Sikh religion just as the cross symbolizes Christianity. It is not only a symbol for Sikhs but also a belief in my religion for me and many other Sikhs. It symbolizes “divine knowledge, truth, and a God who is eternal” (http://www.sikhs.org/khanda.htm). The Khanda is made up of three different symbols, each with their own meaning and importance in the culture and religion. The three symbols…

of symbolism, such as, colors, objects, or even a person to represent something. The American flag is a symbol of America, the thirteen stripes are the symbols for the thirteen colonies and the fifty stars are symbols for the fifty states. Symbols are everywhere.

known to man. Every author uses a very unique symbol that helps them bring together what ever form of imagination they are trying to convey. Authors use this symbol to express a thought or feeling for the reader. Edgar Allen Poe used symbolism quite often in almost every single one of his works. In “The Raven,” Poe uses just like the name of the title says, a raven as a symbol in this certain story. Since “The Raven” is a very dark poem of course the symbol for this certain story is very dark…

Louise Erdrich, the car works as a symbol for the relationship between protagonists Lyman and Henry, symbolizing their youth and freedom, the breakdown of their relationship , and trauma over a once-pleasant life. The car is first presented as a symbol to the story when the brothers spontaneously purchase it together.

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…

Symbolism is a way to compare someone to something like In the book “To kill a Mockingbird” the symbol that stands out to me the most is the Scene in the book where scout talks about how you’re not suppose to kill a mockingbird.Chapter 10 Ms.Maudie tells Scout it is a sin to kill a mockingbird.I feel like the mockingbird symbolizes Tom Robinson. The mockingbird symbolizes Tom’s innocents, in the book Tom is accused of raping Mayella Ewell. During the trial he clearly makes it clear that the…

author places them to give the reader an underlying deeper meaning. They contribute to the themes and main ideas while adding context to the story. In Kelly Link’s book, Pretty Monsters is a symbol that persisted in every story, however the symbol displayed itself in many different aspects.

In the story, The Cinderella Game, it presented a contradicting and…
