3 What is the symbolism in Finding Nemo?

4 What is the symbolism in the book cover of Twilight?

5 Additional Term This particular symbol of the apple also represents an ALLUSION. An ALLUSION is a reference to a famous historical moment, piece of art, piece of literature, or something famous within our culture. If I compare my friend breaking into his sibling’s room as “storming the beaches”, or if a teacher telling you that quitting a sport is like “Two paths that diverge in a wood” – they are making an ALLUSION.

10 Because I could not stop for death Emily Dickinson
 –  He kindly stopped for me –  The Carriage held but just Ourselves –  And Immortality. We slowly drove –  He knew no haste And I had put away My labor and my leisure too, For His Civility –  We passed the School, where Children strove At Recess – n the Ring –  We passed the Fields of Gazing Grain –  We passed the Setting Sun –  Or rather – He passed us –  The Dews drew quivering and chill –  For only Gossamer, my Gown –  My Tippet – only Tulle –  We paused before a House that seemed A Swelling of the Ground –  The Roof was scarcely visible –  The Cornice – in the Ground –  Since then – 'tis Centuries – and yet Feels shorter than the Day I first surmised the Horses' Heads Were toward Eternity –
