Six Symbols

Symbols

The first symbol I found interesting was the Corvette we saw passing downtown. I found it interesting because you don't see many Corvettes in Rapid City. The Corvette is symbolized as a muscle car in the car industry, but to the people around, it is symbolized as a car of higher quality. Which means the person driving the car is probably a little on the wealthier side.
The second symbol I found interesting was the Camaro that was passing by Memorial Park. I found it interesting because it is a more common to see a Camaro instead of a Corvette, but they both can be symbolized the same way. The Camaro is also symbolized as a muscle car, but is also symbolized as a car for wealthier people.They both can be symbolized as speaking for themselves when they show up to a place. It's like an "I have arrived" type of appearance.
The third symbol I found interesting is Micah. Micah symbolizes a spontaneous, loud, and semi-annoying classmate. But he could symbolize stupidity towards other. Personally, I don't think he's stupid, but with these traits about him, others could portray this towards him.
The fourth symbol I found interesting was the man in the suit and tie. He symbolized formality towards others, while symbolizing how he needs to appear for a special occasion or interview towards himself. He was a younger man who looked a little wealthier than most. He symbolizes himself as an upper class gentleman that says "I am a VIP" with his get-up.
The fifth symbol I found interesting were the statues. The statues themselves symbolize important people that had an impact. To everyone else, these statues could symbolize a certain time period these people were relevant in, what impact they had, and what got them to become a statue.
The sixth symbol I found interesting is the guy with a cast on his arm. To everyone else, this could symbolize he's hurt. To himself, this probably symbolizes recovery and possible physical therapy. It could also symbolize the weakness in his arm after he gets the cast off and building the strength back up.
