In
the song “The River” Bruce Springsteen uses the symbols and archetypes of
water, sexuality, and youth to express the theme that one decision can alter
all. According to Bruce Springsteen, “then I got Mary pregnant and man that was
all she wrote.” The river felt like home to him: “It is an obvious symbol of
transformation for not only does it change from tadpole to frog but it is as
much at home in the water as it is on land” (Stevens 338). Even though Bruce
acted like he did not remember-- “well mister they vanished right into the air
now I just act like I don't remember” --he was not saying the truth: “But I
remember us riding in my brother's car.”

I had a good dream last night. It was a good dream
because I dreamt that I was able to go shopping without a limit. I was shopping
for purses at Macy’s having the time of my life. I was looking for my credit
card in my purse but couldn’t remember where I had left it. Even though I could
not find my credit card, I did have two extra credit cards, and I was able to
purchase the items I wanted.
