Hello Stephanie, I also found this to be the most interesting part of episode two from the DVD series titled, “How Art Made the World,” by Nigel Spivey. It is sort of mind boggling how people in past centuries depicted death. As example, the hair standing up and the legs crossed on both subjects (the human figure and the animal) were a symbol or meaning of death (Spivey, Episode 2). I wonder why they created hooves and antlers on the human figures. Was it a symbol of the two being connected spiritually?

The eagle focuses on the achievements, and failures of people’s lives, and helps them understand that there is always a way to solve difficult or horrific times in your life.

Citizen Kane has been the critics choice for a number of years now, however I found that it was nothing special. While its cinematography and acting are superb the story is a tangled mess with seemingly little direction or reason. With that being said the symbolism is well presented and conveys a good message about what happens when capitalism meets socialism. That symbolism is was what kept me watching the film despite how poorly the story was written and I believe that the symbolism is the reason why Citizen Kane remains the number one critics choice. Citizen Kane is brought to us by Orson Welles and follows the reporter Jerry Thompson (William Alland) as he tries to learn about the life of the famous Charles Foster Kane (Orson Welles) and

Being amazed by the world Lindsay creates is impossible even in today 's world, and considering that the book is written in 1920 almost a century ago, it becomes jaw-dropping. I got struck by the idea of back-rays which are rays that turn back to its own source and traveling at the speed of thought. But Lindsay’s imagination is much more than this, he creates two new colors that come from the second sun of Tormence, ulfire and jale. “The sense impressions caused in Maskull by these two additional primary colors can only be vaguely hinted at by analogy. Just as blue is delicate and mysterious, yellow clear and unsubtle, and red sanguine and passionate, so he felt ulfire to be wild and painful, and jale dreamlike, feverish, and voluptuous.”
