My Thesis Makes Me Wonder

As I'm writing my thesis for Animal Farm, I'm reflecting on the novel and how there are so many hidden meanings to the smallest symbols in the book. It makes me wonder what other hidden meanings there are to the smallest everyday things, especially those the media presents. Take advertisments, for example. Every detail that sticks in a consumer's head is meant to persuade them to buy whatever the company is trying to sell. Or how about a song? There's usually a deeper meaning behind the lyrics the artist is trying to convey. Sometimes we don't catch on to these things the first time. Perhaps everything is not truly what it seems...
