Fish on Land

In the song “A Fish on Land,” Lhasa De Sela uses the symbols and archetypes of water, fish, and breathing to express the theme of life struggle. According to Anthony Stevens, “fish are water creatures, they are gifts of the Great Mother as well as a symbolic content of the collective unconscious” (337). A fish gasping for air suggests struggling to live: “And he could breathe again and then he grew and he became a man” (Sela, par.3). A fish on land can die but if “dropped him in water and he could breathe again” (Sela, par. 3).

Dream

Last night I had a dream about buying my first car.  I could not decide on what vehicle to buy, so I flipped a coin.  I decided buy a new Chevy Silverado because it had a motor that got more miles per gallon.  I bought the truck and two days it got stolen, and then I woke up.
