My coat of arms features many symbols that are either representative of my interests and hobbies, or are just things that I think are cool. The quadrants on the coat of arms all represent my interests. The top left features a cartoon face, and symbolizes my love of cartoons, anime, comics, and manga. Its main color is gold, which is a symbol of generosity and elevation of the mind. The top right features the PC that I built, as well as my monitor, keyboard, and mouse. Building computers is a hobby of mine and I love to play video games. Its main color is black, and although black symbolizes constancy or grief (which are both interesting), I really put it there because it’s my favorite color. Below that, the bottom right features a guitar, headphones, …show more content…
The quote at the bottom- “Sapienta in Creatura”- apparently means “wisdom in the creation”. I used Google translate to make something that sounded cool, so I don’t know how legitimate it is grammatically. The rabbit symbolizes one who enjoys a peaceable and retired life, and he’s holding a candle which symbolizes life and spirituality. I think the rabbit holding a candle looks really interesting and mysterious. The dragon symbolizes a defender of treasure and a valiant protector. In his hand is a key, which symbolizes guardianship and dominion. Above the coat of arms is a pentagram, which is almost universally seen as something magical and mystical. It’s not seen as evil though, because it’s not inverted. I had the idea to put it there after seeing a man’s interesting tombstone, and I enjoy how it looks. There are two serpents with intertwined tails on either side of the pentagram, which represents wisdom and unity. Above the serpents is a sun and a moon. The sun symbolizes glory and splendour, and the moon symbolizes serene power over earthly actions. There are three open books that surround the coat of arms. These are a symbol for the manifestation of ideas, which, in my opinion, fits perfectly for their placement. They draw the eye to the center of the picture, acting as a sort of invisible border. I drew them without knowing their meaning, but the meaning goes hand in hand
First symbolism is blood, where it presents the human being’s repressed soul and sadness. Second symbolism is “The Hearth and the Salamander” as to represent the fire’s dominance at the beginning of Montag’s life and how it eventually bring sorrow upon him. Third symbolism is phoenix where it’s rebirth refers to the cyclical nature of human history and the collective rebirth of humans and Montag’s spiritual resurrection. Where the city was ruined at the end as the result of human relies technology and not gaining knowledge from books. Throughout the development of the novel, Ray Bradbury uses three symbolisms to represent different ideas of destructions of life without books and if human in the future relies technology to bring them
At first glance you see fence post and barbed wire but when you look a little deeper it could represent the crucifixion of Christ. The barbed wire as the crown of thrones and the fence post as part of the cross. Someone else may see something very different than what I see in it.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY THIS? The Hearth and the Salamander, the title of part one, is the first example of symbolism. The title suggests two things having to do with fire, the hearth is a source of warmth and goodness, showing the positive, non-destructive side of fire. Whereas a salamander is a small lizard-like amphibian, which in mythology is known to endure fire without getting burned by it. & nbsp; On the other hand, it is ironic that Guy, and the other firemen believe themselves to be salamanders because both captain Beatty's and Montag's destruction comes from the all mighty flame, from which they thought they were invincible. & nbsp; The symbol of a Phoenix is used throughout the novel. This quote accurately describes the Phoenix. & nbsp;
...ic meanings that still are puzzling art historians today. Some of the key symbols that Stokstad points out in the text is the dove, representing the Holy Spirit; the white lilies as a symbol of the Virgin Mary. She also points out, two rather unknown symbols to the sacrilegious, the date of the Annunciation in signs of the zodiac on the floor, as well as the lone stained glass window that is symbolizing God rising above the three windows that are placed in the background behind Mary. These three windows represent the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

The symbol that was used throughout a lot though this book was simply just money. Money in this whole story was always associated with evil and greed. This symbolism was used occasionally throughout the book, like killing people for money, selling illegal items, and betting illegally on a fight between a child and a professional fighter, but here’s one of the best examples there was. The text says, “Yu pointed the gun at Alex’s stomach. ‘You are young and fit. I will be able to sell your kidney for a quarter of a million dollars. And the operation won’t even kill you. You will live through it, and after that we’ll be able to come back, perhaps, for your eyes.’ The gun rose up to the Alex’s head. ‘Your eyes will sell for fifty thousand dollars each, leaving you blind but otherwise in good health,’ The gun dropped again. ‘You can live without your pancreas. It will make me a further one hundred thousand dollars. While you are recovering from each operation, I will drain off your blood cells and your plasma. They will be kept frozen and sold at five hundred dollars a pint. And finally, of course, there is your heart. The heart of a young healthy boy could fetch up to a million dollars more.’” This text evidence shows how money really did go hand and hand with evil and greed in this book because Major Yu, the antagonist, is using Alex Rider, the protagonist, as spare, useless parts to torture him for trying to
The first symbol was a tall, bronze ladder that was narrow and stretched all the way to Heaven. The ladder represents the path that everyone must climb in order to get to Heaven. On the ladder are iron implements, all of which were various weapons, and that if you were not careful, you would be "torn to pieces" (2). The iron implements were the tools that were used to torture people, especially in the arena where the Christians were killed. One could also see the implements as obstacles that people face while trying to live a good life and get to Heaven. The dragon found at the bottom of the ladder is representative of the temptation of the devil (2). When the dragon put his head down and Perpetua stomped on it, it showed that she had power over the devil and that she was able to resist his temptations. The huge expanse of garden symbolizes Heaven. The white-haired man milking his ewes and dressed like a shepherd is referring to God watching over all his people like a shepherd watches his flock. The thousands of people dressed in white are either representing the angels and saints in Heaven or the thousands of believers that have died before and now live in Heaven. Finally, in her vision, Perpetua is given a small morsel, and she accepts it with both hands, and the people say "Amen". These actions symbolize those of Eucharist and that she was receiving the Body of Christ. After this had happened,
The symbols of the scarecrows and birds of fine song and feather, the knitting, and the Gorgon’s head help with the theme because they demonstrate how man can be cruel and unfeeling toward his fellow citizen. The symbols help in understanding the theme that both the aristocrats and the peasants are capable of being apathetic and cruel. The symbols also aid in reading and understanding the plot. Both the symbols and the theme enhance the plot and help in comprehending the characters. In short, evil is present everywhere, and terrible things happen to bad and good people.
On the opposite side is the date "1776" and the coat of arms of the United States set in a shield containing 13 stars.
The Lion symbolises royalty, the books symbolise wisdom and the golden fur and mane of the lion symbolises power (because gold is usually worn by rich people).
One symbol is the snake that symbolizes wickedness and evil and is a recurring symbol throughout the story. In the beginning of the story, we find Sykes scaring Delia with a bullwhip knowing it resembles a snake that induces terror in Delia. “Just then something long, round, limp, and black fell upon her shoulders and slithered to the floor beside her. A great terror took hold of her.” (564). Sykes was on a crusade to rid himself of his wife. He uses snakes to intimidate Delia, and the snake becomes more agitated and deadly as it grows hungrier; a sign of coming drama. “Look in de box dere Delia, Ah done brung yah somethin’!” (569). ”You take dat rattlesnake’ way from heah!” After Delia entered the house and
As a reader of the section “A Country Letter”, I interpreted the lamp to represent life, hope, and security.
Therefore, this essay evaluates the use of symbols in the story as well as how they serve the purpose of the story. The Staff This aspect is drained from the biblical point of view since a curved serpent encircles the devil’s staff. Essentially,
My coat of arms is about me, who I am, what I love and who I want to be. In it I have four sections that have an apple and a pencil, 5 arrows and family in chinese, a Georgia peach with the Georgia outline, and in the last section I have music notes. Each section means something or tells something about me. Each section is also colored with a certain color showing what each section represents to me.
Images of different different seasons of the year to explain the process of growing older. Images that depict the fading of light in a persons soul transforming into darkness. Images that the reader can perceive as vivid actions. Images that all symbolize one thing, death. In the first quatrain the speaker begins by comparing an old middle age man to a tree with few to none yellow leaves hanging on its branch, and branches moving to the wind of a cold late autumn/early winter day. Image that depicts a lifeless trees and shivering branches, branches that perhaps represent the weak muscles of the speaker. Another image is depicted in the first quatrain containing the same idea. The image of an old church choirs in ruins. In the second quatrain the speaker depicts a moving image of a twilight that can be seen fading on him as the sun sets in the west and soon turns into darkness. Symbolizing the last moments of life the speaker has. In the third quatrain the speaker depicts an image with a similar meaning as the previous, except for one distinctly last thought. The speaker depicts a living image of a bonfire extinguishing and turning into ashes, ashes that may represent his well lived youth. The image gives the idea that ashes represent what once was a beautiful life to the speaker. Overall the images representing the
