That is how the ocean is wearing a mask of innocence and is hypnotizing to people. Another example of symbolism in The Scorpio Races is the quote, “Nothing is as red as the sea that day.” (252). This quote is used when Sean’s dad dies in the story. As this is a tragic moment in the book for Sean. The sea that day is so red because it is contaminated by the blood of Sean’s dad.
The narrator states when Doodle dies, “Limply, he fell backward onto the earth. He had been bleeding from his mouth, and his neck and the front of his shirt were stained a bright red.” (Hurst 354) as opposed to when the scarlet ibis dies, “Its long graceful neck jerked twice into an S, then straightened out, and the bird was still.” (Hurst 351) is very similar, too. Hurst also uses nature for symbolism, “I lay there crying, sheltering my fallen scarlet ibis from the heresy of the rain.” (Hurst 354). The book gives the definition of “heresy” as “mockery,” which can be seen as the rain being society or other people mocking diversity even after death. Hurst uses foreshadowing in this story as well.
Get the goddamn sail down!” (pg. 217) Storm tipped over their boat and although Jordan was the better swimmer, he drowned. Conrad blames himself for his death and that is the moment when he encounters his first big instability or problem.

Both poems use nightmare underwater imagery, in ‘Dulce...’ Owen describes a soldier as he starts “drowning” under a “green sea” when he is overcome by gas. This creates a disturbing psychological image for the reader and conveys how toxic the gas was. Similarly, in ‘The Sentry’ the soldier’s body is described as “sploshing in the flood”, this representation conveys the harsh environment the soldiers had to live in. Repetition is also used in both poems. In ‘The Sentry’, the repetition of “I’m blind” helps give a sense of the increasing distress of the soldier as he realises he has lost his sight.
“Lord of the Flies,” The Most Tragic Figure on the Island “Softly, surrounded by a fringe of inquisitive bright creatures....Simon’s dead body moved out towards the open sea.” It is a tragic end to a tragic life. Simon was undoubtedly the most tragic figure on the island. In three paragraphs, I will explain how tragic Simon is in his death, his being an outcast, and being the only boy who was purely good. Hopefully, you will believe what is written. Simon is also the most tragic figure since he dies a painful death.

The poem however, rejects this maxim by vividly describing the condition of physically poor and decrepit old soldiers ready to die. The weary soldiers are returning from battle and the front liners are gassed unexpectedly by their enemies. The poem records the painful struggle of one of the men, affected by the poisonous gas, as he approaches his inevitable death. Throughout the poem, Owen creates gory, graphic images and uses apt diction to clearly convey the horror and squalor of the war and the soldiers’ extreme languor and suffering. To end the poem, he simply refutes the old Latin saying he considers a total lie; a fallacy.
This gives the reader the sense that he really knows what he is talking about and has experienced these gruesome sights. Visual and auditory imagery are also used throughout this poem. Owen saw a man “flound’ring like a man in fire or lime” (12) suffering from the gas and dying a very slow and painful death. In this alone he shows how awful the war was through the man choking and having his skin eaten away from the “lime” (12). He saw things “obscene as cancer” (23) which is a bold image when death for a country is supposed to be sweet and proper.
