Symbols and Symbolism in Strange News From Another Star :: Strange News From Another Star

symbolic representation in Strange News From Another mavin Strange News from another Star is found to be a story which contains numerous symbols which in many cases contain some important, abstract information. Symbolism is something which is very difficult to explain due to the fact that not everyone sees the so mentioned symbol. They dont quite see it as you, because no two minds atomic number 18 the same, which implies the fact that they dont react equally to something which must be internally interpreted as it is not present as mere information. On this essay I will try to back up with concise words, why I believe that something is representing something abstract, as well as with information from the author. star of the head start symbols that we may interpret, is truly the star. A star is known as a gaseous sphere, which with nuclear fusion and fission may actually impart out huge amounts of energy. Obviously a star is a inhospitable place, so I believe that the s tar actually represents a planet or a country. The flowers, which have a very important part in the plot of the book are a symbol as well. They, have always, as least as far as I know, had a special message. A message of love, indifference, joy and they represent the harmony of nature itself. In the first stage of the book, we may see how a problem, the earthquake, has made the people in the star loose a vast amount of flowers. They lost some of the tranquillity and joy that had invaded their lives. And when they look for a messenger to go find flowers, theyre talking about re-finding the tranquillity and lack of fear that they wanted. I believe that the burials, actually represent life. It may sound a bit peculiar, but in real life once you get accustomed to living a happy, rejoicing life, you then will not be able to live without it and so, you will need to do practically anything, as the people in the star did, to find the flowers. The symbol of the deity that the youth saw in the temple, I understand that by the way in which the story progresses the symbol is actually representing the fact that war, or trouble (the bird of prey) destroys all happiness or good hearted feelings. I think that the representation is what I mentioned above, because when the messenger goes to the foreign star he sees destruction and a total lack of joy.
