Dream within a dream

This poem is an example of Romanticism. It uses the words me which wasn't written in colonial liturature. Poe is normally a person who writes about dark matters, but in this literary work writes in a way that there was a good patch in his life. But since everything is dark to Poe, he finds it hard yo believe something good is actually happening to him. So by questioning it, he lost it and relized it was not a dream but reality.

importance of symbolism

I feel that symbolism is an important part of our every day lives from product logos to the political parties donkey and elephant. Symbolism are what help us interpret meaing to something without words. Symbols themselves is like a universal language that everyone can understand and is how some people can comunicate with others that don't even speak the same language. As I was reading the story Young Goodman brown i kept see refrences to faith's pink ribbons and I would sit there and wonder why do they keep talking about some dumb old ribbons? It wasn't until later on when the ribons where saw floating away did I realize what it ment. Some symbolism you need to come back to multiple times before you can actually see the big picture in what it means. Symbolism has been around for as long as man has starting with prehistoric man. There wasn't any form of written or spoken language but they were able to communicate through drawing a picture of what they wanted to say. Religons have symols like the cross to represent christianity. Even to this day some people have a family crest to sybolize where there roots are from.

online security presentation

During the presentation I felt that I learned alot more about what to watch out for in the online world. I used to wonder why I would get so many virus but now I relize where these were coming from and how to prevent them more effectivly. For one i now know that eve clicking a pop up or the scroll bar can download spyware and other nasty viruses that can really harm your computer. This is my problem because sometimes i'll be on a website and a box will pop up right where I click and all these other windows start spaming my screen. Another lesson i've learned is about password security. On Ian's list of common passwords, mine was actually on here and after the class I changed it imediately. After seeing the list and how long i can take someone to hack your password, I really put some thought into my next one to make sure it wouldnt be a problem. Today everyone is online with personal information that can be hacked by people that can really hurt them. So when on the internet you just need to be aware of what you are clicking, how strong your password is, and not putting up to much about your self out there to the world.
