Good morning everybody, To begin my sharing, may I invite you to imagine that I have lost something valuable and important, so now I need your help to catch this theft. Can anyone here offer me advice? (Maybe you can search everyone's body.) but they probably wouldn't be so stupid to tell you that, right? But, no worry, we are no detective. In fact, the main character in the movie called Source Code which I am going to share with you today has a similar mission to accomplish. The main character in this movie, Colter Stevens, was used to test a government technology called "Source Code" which allows Colter to relive the last 8 minutes of anyone's life, as many times as necessary. Colter's first mission is to identify a bomber …show more content…

In the movie, even though Colter Stevens has done a lot of things in his last 8 minutes like stopping the bomber, calling his father and spending some quality time with his love, Christina, but I guess he probably still has many other things that he wish he can do but it is not possible for him to do so within a short period of time of 8 minutes, such as meeting his father in person. After watching all these, I finally realized that time is truly valuable but we can never have enough time because life goes by in the blink of an eye and we will never know when our last 8 minutes will come, so why don't we just learn from the movie and treasure every single second of our short life as if it is our last 8 minutes and use them to do something meaningful, like what Colter Stevens has done ? If we simply idle our valuable time away, no matter how much time we have, be it 8 hours, 8 days, or even 8 years, it is not much longer than 8 minutes. Now, let's get back to the movie, Colter Stevens has gone back 8 times to that train in total and every time he went through the same 8 minutes. Wait, aren't there some strange coincidences in number? Yeah, that is the number 8 and I think it is actually a symbolism used in the movie to represent some special meaning. Can you guys guess the meaning of number 8 in

  • Symbolism In Beloved By Toni Morrison

    Morrison uses the color white as a symbol throughout the novel. This quote shows how Sethe sees white people in comparison to her: “those white things have taken all I had or dreamed,' she said, 'and broke my heartstrings too. There is no bad luck in the world but white folks” (89). White people are those who caused her pain, and suffering. Snow is used to foreshadow terrible or depressing events that will occur or to symbolize the struggles occurring now. The worst always happens when it is snowing. Paul D’s tin tobacco box is another symbol. It is kept “in his chest” and is symbolic of him burying his painful memories. For him, it is a coping mechanism to deal with his difficult past. The number 124, which is their house number, has a significant meaning. The three numbers are connected to the three children. Beloved was the third child and Denver was the fourth. The number three missing in the sequence represents the baby who died.
