I chose to create a coat of arms for Walter Lee Younger in Lorraine Hansberry’s play, A Raisin in the Sun. He is such an interesting character because of how he grows throughout the course of the play. Hansberry wants the reader to grow frustrated with his opinionated beliefs at the beginning, but then wants the audience to realize that he is a caring father for Travis. The changes to Walter’s personality over the course of the play are illustrated in the coat of arms, through symbols, including: an American flag, a sword, a declining graph, an iron beam, and a family holding a house.
The final thing on my totem pole is a cross. This symbol is very important to me; it symbolizes my faith. God is one thing that Cole did not believe he had. He kept saying that if there was a good God, then He would not allow bad things to happen.

Is over-reliance on technology leading humans to their own demise? IIn Ray Bradbury's short story "The Veldt," set in a dystopian future where technology controls every aspect of daily life, the author depicts a family living in an automated house to warn us of the dangers of such a future. The parents, George and Lydia, start to worry about their children's growing violence, fueled by the virtual reality nursery that projects a scene of an African Veldt with lions hunting two unknown people. This foreshadows the parents' final fate, but they remain oblivious and only become cautious of the technology around them. They confront their children, who refuse to tell the truth, and then regret having spoiled them.
The Confederate Battle Flag has always been flown primarily in the South as a symbol of their pride in their efforts in the Civil War. However, today it is viewed as a symbol used to breed hatred and support division among the people of the South. Therefore, the Confederate flag historically has been viewed as a symbol of pride, and it is; however, it has been used as a banner of hatred as well. First of all, the Confederate flag is and always will be a visible symbol of our nation’s history, used to educate people about our heritage. The Confederate flag is a symbol of “Southern Pride”.
Ray Bradbury 's “The Veldt” takes place in a house that can do anything the want which results in the main characters-George, Lydia, Peter, and Wendy Hadley not sharing a strong bond with their family. You end up having no connection to your family so you have trouble communicating and having feelings for them which results in even though the machines don’t have any feelings or connections having to machines more that other people this shows how when people use technology too much or machines. People become to rely on them too much which dehumanises them and Bradbury shows that by symbolism, imagery and dialogue. Ray Bradbury uses symbolism to show how machines dehumanise people. One example is what the lions actually mean, the lions represent
While authors use symbols in their novels to help convey a message to their readers, people and organizations do the same in society today. Big organizations like the government try to portray their power and military strength, though sometimes they are just trying to portray a false sense of
Symbolism is displayed from top to bottom within the figure itself. These symbols are meant to spread the statue’s message not only in America but all over the world. For example, the seven points on the crown exemplify the seven seas and continents around the globe. It emphasizes that liberty should be dispersed universally and shared among all people (Source D). Along with the idea of liberty and freedom is where the torch also makes its mark.
Bird: symbolize freedom and independence in the novel, the awakening. Birds are able to roam free and do as they please rather than being subjected to society 's standards and help down rather than flying. The bird with a broken wing flying above before Enda swam into the ocean and drowned represented her current state. She could not continue to fight even though she remain strong in the beginning. The caged parrot in the beginning of the novel represented how women were caged by society during those times and were removed if they caused some sort of recuse.
I read a few articles and they all relate to my everyday life. One article in particular stated,” During the civil rights revolt of the 1950s and 1960, many Caucasian southerners did revive the use o the Confederate symbols, especially the Confederate flag and “Dixie” This was on the behalf of segregation and white dominance.

Both “Speaking of Courage” by Tim O’Brien and “Soldier’s Home” by Ernest Hemingway use the townspeople as a symbol for how society treats soldiers. The authors show this symbolism by how the townspeople treat the soldiers, how the soldiers treat girls, and how the soldiers treat the townspeople over time. The symbolism in this story gives a message to the reader to treat soldiers with respect, and not just ignore them because their story is boring or uncomfortable. In “Soldier’s Home,” Krebs’ town is one which “has heard too many atrocity stories to be thrilled by actualities” (84).
My Totem Pole A totem pole is a colossal log carved mainly by the indigenous people of Alaska and British Columbia. These poles tell stories that have been passed down from generation to generation as legends and myths. However, that is not the only type of totem pole, there are totems that tell the carver’s history, their family’s history and a few are even used to honor the dead. Additionally, multiple totem poles were made to show respect to important tribal members.
Likewise, the cross also represents my spirituality and faith. The cross signifies my devotion to my faith. As a child, I had grown up in the presence of the Church and the teachings of Jesus. Therefore, my faith has shaped me into the person I am today, one who is able to create their own moral compass. Overall this totem pole represents me, my connection to nature and the spiritual realm as well as acts as a guide for my
