Symbolism

During the story A.S.I.A.D the author uses symbolism to show the children from the class on mars true emotion and feelings towards their situation.

I didn't take this part in the book as some sort of religious symbolism, but rather as symbolism of Cassie's loss of faith in trust and humans. So far, I am enjoying this book because unlike a lot of other science fiction novels, this book is simple to comprehend; there is no new crazy system or parallel universe that the author…

In The Cask of Amontillado by Edgar Allan Poe uses symbolism to show the theme that family comes first because throughout the story the narrator believes he needs to take an act of revenge for his family. An example of how revenge is related to the narrator's family is the Montressor’s coat of arms. The reason why his coat of arms is a great example of revenge for his family is because how it is described. Montressor says in the story “ A huge human foot d’or, in a field of azure; The foot…

my mouth belongs to someone else, someone I don’t even know.” ( Anderson 17) Melinda cannot stop biting her lips. She wants to stop but she cannot do it. She does not recognize herself anymore.
