Symbolisms
The cross is the most powerful symbol to all Christianity. Just a mere mention of it, or a glimpse restores all faith in its presence. Not every instance of symbolism is that easy to inspire or captivate. In literature, many writers use symbolism to embody their writings. In a sense, they want to leave the reader with food for the soul; a separation between the lines and the words. This is the writer's indiscrete way to express their own views. Symbolism, in a literal sense, has the use of iconic figures with particular conventional meanings. Most or all fictional authors of any merit use symbolism as a rhetorical device central to the meaning of their work. One writer whose rhetoric stands out is that of Ernest (Miller) Hemingway.

The choices in a simple man's life may not be so cut and dry. The apparent owner or manager, George, is, it must be deduced, just an employee of this Henry. "I'll tell you we're going to kill a Swede. Max and Al are not the smartest team out there, and they do not like bright boys. In the end the code hero will lose because men are all mortal, but the true measure is how well he faces death. The two thugs in "The Killers" allow the characters, George, Nick, and Sam, to live.
