Coat Of Arms Symbolism

A coat of arms symbolizes who someone is and describes some of their characteristics. In my case I’d like to say I have a broad variety of descriptions of my myself. In block number one I described myself as athletic because I do color guard. I like to think of myself as creative because anytime I get a chance I’m drawing, doodling, making, things or doing something of the sort. Funny was another I used to characterize myself because I’m always making people laugh, as well as making myself laugh, and I like to think that I have a pretty good sense of humor. In the third box on my coat of arms I listed three of my greatest strengths. The first of the three I listed is color guard. Ever

    In “The Things They Carried”, by Tim O’Brien, the author uses symbolism in order to show the soldiers emotional and physical burdens they carry. For example, Lieutenant Jimmy Cross carried letters from this woman he loved named Martha, everywhere he went in his backpack. Also, another example of the symbolism, Kiowa, another soldier from the story, carried around a New Testament that his father gave to him. And the final example of symbolism is when soldier Ted Lavender died, Jimmy Cross was emotionally and physically beat up. The story shows the symbolism in an indirect way, which is what makes the story unique. O’Brien really shows the physical, but mainly, the emotion burdens/ baggage all of the soldiers have.…

    The Coat of Arms created for El Patróns Empire, Opium, is based off of literal and metaphorical ideas. For example the entire reason for his empire was his anger that all seven of his siblings died. He believed he deserved the lives they did not get. Also Opium would be nothing without Poppies so to support my shield I used Poppy Flowers. Notice that there are seven flowers supporting the shield, each of the flowers represents a sibling he lost. The smallest flower represents the sister he had that throughout the story El Patrón said died of typhoid and was barely tall enough to see over the windowsill “no, not even on tiptoe”. The crest and crown of my shield are meant to resemble El Patrón himself. In english El Patrón means the boss, to…

    To many of people, the swastika represents the Nazis and the many other terrible events which occurred throughout the Hholocaust, but it had been used in other religions, cultures, and had various meanings before Hitler turned it into a symbol of death and sadness. The swastika had originated in religions such as Hinduism and Buddhism in India, though it was only very minimally used in Buddhism. It had been an important symbol in Hinduism, used for various reasons on festivals and religious rites. In Buddhism, the Swastika had represented eternity. It had also been mostly used in Asia through Jainism. The Swastika was used in Greece through Greek architecture, clothing, and coin design. Greco-Roman art and architecture included many connected Swastika-like images as well. In Russia, the swastika had represented the Christian Slavic faith. Not only had the swastika been used in those religions and countries, but it was used in Modern Europe and North America for various different reasons as well. The swastika was a widely used symbol across the world until Hitler and the Nazi’s had come along to destroy its true meaning. Though there are many laws and debates regarding whether the swastika should still be used today, all over the world it is still a commonly…

    When reading the Red Badge of Courage, it is necessary to understand the symbolism that Stephen Crane has created throughout the whole book. Without understanding the true intent of color use, this book loses a meaningful interpretation that is needed to truly understand the main character, his feelings and actions. Crane uses very distinct colors in his text to represent various elements that the main character, Henry or "the youth", is feeling along his adventure of enlisting into battle. Red, yellow and gray are the main color's Crane uses consistently in the majority of the chapters to describe Henry's inner conflicts and feelings. The color purple is mentioned very briefly but reflects Henry's feelings in a powerful manner. Certain colors dominate throughout the book and there is a change of domination as Henry matures into a real soldier.…

    When words are not an option to describe someone what else might one use to represent themselves?

But also images can play an important part of telling a lot about someone because there is always a story behind an image. Many images come to mind when thinking of things that represent who I am. The imagery I would include in my metaphoric portrait would be a stage, Disney World, and a plane.…
