After reading the invigorating and richly textured novel, To Kill a Mockingbird, it is evidently established that symbolism is dredged in depth throughout. Although most illustrations in fact are inferred, such symbols are somewhat apparent and exemplifying.

As everyone in the county believes Boo is actually insane and violent through passed down uncivil rumors.

In his essay "The Myth of the Ant Queen," Steven Johnson seemingly disregards the notion of pacemaker, labeling it as fake and a myth. Johnson debunks the idea of a top down leadership and sheds light on the emergence of the self-organizing systems in our society. Johnson's way of perceiving "pacemaker" seems too narrow, as he mentions that a pacemaker is a central authority figure. Although Johnson's perception is correct to some extent, in a broader sense, not only is it a authoritative figure but also it is also there to ensure a sense of positivity within us, regardless of whether being found at the top or bottom. However, through Oliver Sacks' essay "The Mind's Eye," we are able to complicate the argument presented by Johnson, as Sacks'

So why did Hendrix decide to cover Bob Dylan 's "All along the watchtower?" In this paper, I will argue that Hendrix 's cover of Dylan 's "All along the watchtower," thanks to its lyrics and sound dynamic, optimally conveys his anti-war and anti-violence beliefs.

Edna views this new home as a sign of her independence, but the pigeon house represents her inability to remove herself from her former life, due to the move being just “two steps away” (122).

This new outlook on her life caused Dee to place different values on the items with which she had grown up. She wanted to take the items as things to put on display like art hanging on a wall. Dee even wanted the cherished quilts to “hang them” (Walker, 1973) instead of using them as blankets. As she saw it, to use the quilts for their original purpose would destroy them, or as she said, “Maggie would put them on the bed and in five years they 'd be in rags” (Walker, 1973).
