  6. Water Chinese symbol for water Aztec symbol for water Many mythologies( such as the Sioux of North America, the Norse, the Chinese, and the Nigerian) have creation myths that start with the Earth being a huge primal lake or simply covered in water and from that land and life arises.

  8. The American Dream The American Dream is a phrase referring to the supposed freedom that allows all citizens and all residents of the United States to pursue their goals in life through hard work and free choice. The Founding Fathers used the phrase, "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.“ This hope includes the opportunity for one's children to grow up and receive an education and its consequent career opportunities. It is the opportunity to make individual choices without the restrictions of class, caste, religion, race, or ethnic group. Source: Wikipedia: The Free Encyclopedia.

  9. Of Mice and Men The American Dream This symbol can be seen in George and Lennie’s farm. The farm that George constantly describes to Lennie, those few acres of land on which they will grow their own food and tend their own livestock, makes the characters and reader want to believe in the possibility of the free and ideal life it promises. The farm represents the possibility of freedom, self-reliance, and protection from the cruelties of the world. Source: Sparknotes.com.
