.... topics), as he writes with the purpose of teaching and humoring at the same time. However, with GATTACA, the satirical messages are not immediately perceivable - even after having seen the movie three times.

.... to Jim, and is beginning to realize that Jim is a really good person. He would also never hurt him. This illustrates the concept and symbolism of Jim's freedom and societies influence on Huck. At one point, Huck convinces himself that the nest opportunity he receives, he will turn Jim in, and clear his conscience. The opportunity became available when slave hunters meet them on the river. Huck had an absolutely perfect chance to turn him over. However, he made up a story that his father was sick and needed help and asked the slave hunters for help. They immediately assumed that his father had smallpox, and he wanted nothing to do with Huck or his fathe .....

.... me your thoughts are my brothers word matches word how easy to be together.” At the start of a relationship everything seems so easy because there is so much expectation and hope. People get so excited at the possibility of love that they tend to be wearing rose colored spectacles if not blinders. They are exhilarated at the realization that, “hey, we both like apples dipped in peanut butter.” The little things are far more important than the bigger ones.

I had expected to see myself disguised, but this was something else. I was imprisoned in the flesh of an utter stranger, an unsympathetic one with whom I felt no kinship.

.... be brought to a vigorous boil. Therefore, an extremely agitated person is said to be "like water for chocolate," so is a person in a state of sexual arousal. A recurring symbol in Like Water for Chocolate is food (the title is a good tip-off of that). Hardly a scene goes by without someone eating or preparing a meal and some of the more hilarious sequences surround a pair of banquets. Each of these scenes has a meaning beyond the obvious, however.
