In the book, The Cage Riva once said, "But we need much more than laughter to make us well. It does not cure tuberculosis or put calcium back into my bones." The Cage to bring us back to the dark times of the holocaust he also makes us believe that in the darkest times there is still hope to move on. Even when they take all you love and something you have affection for all go away, but there is still hope to live for no matter what times you are going through.

Shadow’s dream begins with him standing in an open plain beneath a stormy sky as stars fall and become human. Shadow describes them as “star people,” who all appear to have vaguely Native American characteristics. These “people” are reminiscent of the Blackfoot legends surrounding the star-beings, who, according to myth, “were the first

According to Steve Chapman, the Texas flag is seen as a unique, honorable symbol for Texans. Its design is one that can be distinguished from afar and is one of the elements that Texans are proud of. In addition, the flag is the only flag that can be flown at the same height as the United States flag! However, what makes the Texas flag so distinct?

During the Holocaust, the yellow star badge was assigned to the Jews during Hitler’s reign. This badge is a good example of a symbol. To Hitler and the Nazis, the yellow star symbolized that whomever wore it was a Jew. To the Jews, whomever wore this badge were to be sent to the concentration camps. They either worked there, were cremated at the crematory, or both. In the novel Night, which is about a survivor of the Holocaust, there are many symbols just like the star. In this essay, the use of fire, corpses, and a Jew named Juliek and his violin as symbols, will be examined.

Stars; these seem to be very important figures in the story of Romeo and Juliet, a lyric poem, story and play, written by William Shakespeare. It supposedly relates to fate and is talked about repeatedly throughout the story. I look at the stars way up high and see them in their "predetermined" locations. They 're metaphorical because of how easy it is to compare stars and fate. I notice Shakespeare 's intentions when comparing destiny and the stars. A modern example is the phrase: It 's written in the stars. Throughout the story you are put in a position where you have to think about to what extent are our own actions really free.

The first piece of artwork I critiqued was the famous Virgin of Guadalupe. The Virgin of Guadalupe is currently exhibited in the Basilica of Guadalupe in Mexico City. The piece of art is not solely a painting, but an enconchado. It was made into wood, and it essentially creates a reflective surface that appears as moving. Also, I like how they explain their theory on the woman of the apocalypse and how it relates to this piece of art. It also implies that she was standing on the moon, showby by the angel on the bottom of the artwork, supporting her. Juan Diego was an indigenous man who who underwent a vision conquest in which the Virgin of Guadalupe spoke to him in his language, and requested for him to put a shrine in her honor at the top

The documentary of The Star of Bethlehem was a very interesting piece. Mr. Larson spoke very well about his side of the argument. He also, talked about the other side of the argument, which proves he was avoiding being bias. His message that he was trying to show, had a huge impact on me. Mr. Larson impressed me with his interesting findings of The Star of Bethlehem. What Mr. Larson went through to find out about the star seemed to be very stressful to him and I’m shocked he still tried to find out more and more about the star. Mr. Larson made the documentary very impactful to the audience and myself, but he also gave strong evidence about his argument with the uses of ethos, logos, and pathos.

Many of these early civilizations saw the movements within the sky as a celestial dance and were reproducing them in their own way as various dances.

“I am amazed that people can think they know the song- and not know it is a prayer for peace, but we are so bombarded by sound and our attention spans are so short that we now listen only to catchy beginnings,” said Noel Regney, author of the Christmas classic, Do You Hear What I Hear? in a 1985 interview. Regney wrote this song along with his wife, Gloria Shayne, desperately during the brutal peak of the Cold War in October 1962. With the threat of the Cuban Missile Crisis, a confrontation over the Soviet Union installing missiles capable of obliterating most of the United States in Cuba, looming above their heads, the author used the poetic devices of repetition, parallelism, and personification to emphasize the importance
