IT'S SYMBOLIC

 1. Three examples of symbols I encounter in my life is the crucifix and two less important ones which are the Netflix symbol/logo and the Nike symbol/logo.

2. Two possible meanings of the green light at the end of Daisy's dock in The Great Gatsby are that the green light represents a beacon for any lost person looking for a home or maybe a way back home or it could also represent that in a pool of darkness even the tiniest bit of light pushes through and shows lights up that darkness.

3. Some ways that people are similar to animals is our communication, our understanding that in numbers there is strength, and our ability to create systems in which two species benefit from helping each other out.

4. One major way that people are different from animals or even hominids is how we created a system in which every single person in society has something to offer that someone else can't and how we use that to build on one another and create immense cities or change the world for benefit of humans and other species. 

5. Telling stories and inventing symbols empowers people to organize in large numbers because they feel like they identify with that symbol or story and they now know they are not the only one experiencing or relating to that particular story, whatever it may be, and so they choose to surround themselves with people who think the same way to build upon each others' ideas.
