Symbolism is an economical way to get an idea or several ideas or concepts across. Symbols have found their way into the collective consciousness of the entire world. There are some symbols and images that traverse all boundaries. There are others that are unique to a single society or culture. When a writer uses this, he considers his audience. Here's a simple trick, this is harsh but effective, so please don't be offended: I will mention a few events from recent history, pay attention to what your mind automatically recalls: * Baby Jessica * The World Trade Center * Columbine * New Orleans * The Wall Okay, now this might defeat the purpose, but let's see if your mind's eye matches mine. When I think of the words "Baby Jessica" I recall the little girl who got trapped in a well. I remember instantly the stress everyone felt and the elation when she was pulled free. The World Trade Center does two things for me. The first image I get, strangely, King Kong climbing to the top carrying Jessica Lang (1976). I recall the good times of early high school and summers as a young teen. The WTC also brings the images of the towers falling, and all the emotions I felt at the time. Columbine like the WTC brings two conflicting images. The first is the dreadful image of children running screaming from a school, the sound of shots, the harsh squawk of police radios. Thankfully, the second is the more peaceful memories of summers in southern Illinois, walking through forests with my uncle and purple columbine flowers. When I think New Orleans I see water. Houses floundering in water. Car roofs poking out of water. Boats on water passing homes with ex'es marked on boarded up windows and doors. I see the Superdome ravaged by desparate people trying to escape the water. Finally, the Wall. this puts me in Berlin. I was never there, but the Wall was a symbol of an unseen enemy to the young soldier in Germany I was. It both kept them back, and trapped others in. When I think of the Wall, I see it coming down. I see the celebrations. I see the people I knew, friends, finally able to live without the shadow of threat hanging over them. What did you see?
