ITS SYMBOLIC

                                            WEEK #4

1. Please describe three examples of symbols you encounter in your life.

I've encountered a heart symbol, which can represent love, compassion, and health. I've seen a tree symbol which may represent wholeness, harmony, and family. The last symbol that I've came across on was the ying yang, which represents shadows and femininity. Represents brightness, passion, and growth.

2. Please describe two possible meanings of the green light at the end of Daisy's dock in The Great Gatsby.

The green light may represent Gatsby's hopes and dreams with Daisy. It can also represent darkness as a guiding light to lead him to his goal.

3. What are some ways people are similar to animals?

Humans and animals both eat, sleep, think, and communicate. We are also similar in a lot of the ways our bodies work.

4. What is the one major way people are different from every other animal, including other hominid species?

Is the ability to self-reflect.

5. How does telling stories -- and inventing symbols -- empower people to organize in large numbers?

 storytelling can forge connections among people, and between people and ideas.
