In episode Adrift, the shark has a tatoo of the Dharma Initative, what's that supposed to mean?

Was it a real shark or a fake prop like the stuff they found where they had held Claire to steal her baby... Hummm, maybe it's to keep them scared and keep them from trying to escape again...

Hmmmm.  Jim Darwin disappears and Normal Guy shows up making constant references to Jim Darwin.  Coincidence?  You decide.\n\nIn answer to your question, I don't see any religious meaning.  It seems to be a reference back to Nazism.

websites about symbols : \n\nhttp://www.symbols.com\nhttp://www.crossroad.to/Books/symbols1.html\nhttp://tattoo.about.com/cs/beginners/a/symbols_intro.htm\n\nHawaiian tattoo designs might depict squares, triangles, crescents and figures of ‘aumakua (personal gods), such as the lizard or shark. As recently as 1923, publisher Lorin Thurston told of seeing a woman with a row of triangular dots around her ankle as a charm against sharks, applied because a legend tells of a woman who was bitten by her ‘aumakua, a shark. When the woman cried out that he was supposed to protect her, the shark let her go and replied, I will not make that mistake again, for I will see the marks on your ankle.\n\nKauhuhu is the Shark God of Molokai \n\nIn Hawaii, the images of the tattoo Gods are kept in the places of tattoo priests. Each tattoo session begins with a prayer to the tattoo Gods that the operation might not cause harm, that the wounds might heal soon and that the designs might be handsome.

None of that matters.....what we found out tonight is that this television show, since the beginning, has been about one person, and one person only....DESMOND....\n\nHe is the center-piece for everything. And we also know that Penny's billionare father is the man who has bank-rolled the entire Dharma Project. Why? Because Penny had her own team of scientists searching for a giant magenetic anomoly somewhere on the planet Earth. She knew the Dharma project had something to do with a giant magnet under an Island. She never knew which island. She also knew that Desmond was going to be in her father's "Around the World" boat race. She knew that the giant magnet would draw Desmond to this island. Her father knew also, as he is seeeking revenge for Desmond not taking his bribe. Now Penny knows where to look for Desmond.

Hmm, I would have to see that episode but in my opinion, being surrounded by cacti could represent being able to handle a situation noone else could like how cacti survive in a lifeless desert or maybe protecting something precious within yourself, like cacti protect the water inside them with thorns.  Or it could mean that Akio is in a dead situation or a dead place.

The letter "V" is used by the character V.  It represents his room number in the camps.  He uses Beethoven's 5th when he blows up Parliament, the V sign is basically an upside down Anarchy symbol.  I have not seen the movie, but I have read the comic several times.  Hopefully some of this is useful.

The Meaning of The Song:\n\n\nWhile there is no clear reference or explanation of the song's lyrics, the lyrics itself are self explanatory: the song centers around a man's relationship with his girlfriend, and his observations about her wild and reckless behaviour including overindulging in alcohol or drugs. The song also contains numerous references to their active sex life and partying lifestyle. The imagery of the man's girlfriend "passed out on the deck", "pass[ing] the check" and other lyrics certainly paint the picture of fun.\n\nIn a lyrical trick, the observations of the man about his likes of his relationship with his girlfriend at the start of the song (e.g. "I love the places that we go, I love the people that you know") are in the second verse turned into the very same things he dislikes about her and their relationship. Other subtleties of their relationship, such as sex ("I like the white stains on your dress" or "I like your pants around your feet") or rough sex ("I love your lack of self-respect while you're passed out on the deck, I love my hands around your neck") give way to his dissatisfaction with the same behavior he found appealing at the start of the song ("I love the good times that you wreck").\n\nBEST ANSWER?????????

When Jack painted his face, he is no longer "Jack." He gets a new identity. The old Jack is gone and the mask symbolizes him becoming a savage. Jack paints his face first with White, Red, and then Black. Late, Golding says it is Red, White, and Black. The White to Red symbolizes his good and bad intentions. The Black is the evil that comes last. This is what my teacher tought me.

♡The other answers already have some great info! I live in Japan too so let me try to answer your Q. the best I can from what I know. This image is used for Japanese Congratulations- omedetou おめでとう (omedetai) and good fortune, prosperity and good luck as well. It has a GOOD meaning. When I was married to my hubby here in Japan, some of our wedding "gifts" were wrapped in Japanese cloth with this image. The bird is a crane, as everyone already said and is the symbol of longevity, long continuance. The kanji is for the word "crane" (bird) - "tsuru" 鶴　as also mentioned, in Japanese. The tree is a "Pine" (tree), or "matsu" 松. (It's part of my last name!) The center circle is the sun, often seen in such scenes. This design can be found on some wedding kimono in Japan as well as Japanese screens, decorative plates (I have one) and dishes. It's rather beautiful and I think it would be a gorgeous tattoo! Hope this helps!♡ EDIT: The small red symbol under the big black kanji is just the "hanko"- Japanese stamp of perhaps the artist. Not really part of the design.

It was from an episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation.  Captain Picard was stranded on a planet with an alien, whose race spoke only in parables about their own history.  "Arms open wide" seemed to indicate that the alien was being friendly, and the other parts led Picard to believe that the alien was describing two people uniting to face a common enemy (in this case, some monster on the planet).

Just an opinion: first it is not one word but two karma chameleon. Based on the lyrics of the Culture Club song it means something along the lines of "fate changer" or one who changes to meet fate ("you come and go"). I could be way out in left field, but it's my guess.

This book is indeed permeated with symbols.If you want ,W Golding uses Robinson Crusoe's Myth but in a reversed variant:to be more specific if Daniel Defoe wants to show the way from primitivism to civilisation,W Golding points to the fact that human beings can easily turn back fom civilisation to primitivism.If you read the book you can see the boys spliting into 2 groups :the one led by Ralph and the other led by Jack.While one group enjoy order and discipline and always want to keep the fire burning so as to be finally rescued,the other group want to rule by fear and terror ,they like to go hunting and paint their faces!Let's take things in turn:The fire is a symbol of hope(because this is the only way they can be seen from the island)When the other boys steal the fire is because they have been transformed by the forces of the evil inside themselves,they have been guided by the primitive instincts inside them.Then we have the conch or that shell that Simon is going to carry whenever there's a meeting on the beach.It's a symbol of order and respect for the one who's talking(they could talk only if they touched the conch showing they have an opinion referring to that problem in discussion)Then Simon is wearing glasses which a symbol ,too,It stands for wisdom and intellingence and for civilised world with rules and obligations.Simon agrees that the fire should burn all the time on the island but he's bullied by the rough boys who are rebelling against order.While doing this they have steps behind to primitivism.So they go hunting wild pigs and invent stories about a creature on the island just to scare the others.The fact that they paint their faces like the savages  shows that they run away from who they are,they want to hide their true identity so they can be free to do what they want :fight,hunt,steal and even kill!\nThe pig's head put in a stick in the middle of the forest is in fact the lord of the flies,i.e the lord of terror,of evil forces lying in human beings.It';s symbolical for the bad boys on the island and it's opposite the conch .\nW.Golding knows very well the psychology of kids.He uses a very simple topic but he finally manages to reach complex things in this book which is part of metafiction literature.\nHope you understood something and if you didn't read the book ,please find some time and do it ...it's magnificent!
