HN English 10 - All Quiet Symbolism

You should interpret the potential symbolic meaning of the following images in Paul's daydream on page 119-20:
  1. monk's cemetery in the cloister garden
  2. Stations of the Cross (look this general reference up for cultural literacy and this assignment)
  3. the poplar avenue
  4. the uniform and the rifle
Remember that symbolism doesn't have to be remote and "deep"-- it can be simple or representative (hence the "symbol" in symbolism).  Some symbols in this passage are more complex than others.

Chapter 7 is due on Friday.
