Old Man on a Bridge theme

Front

you cannot move forward if you do not let go. people react differently to the same situations. - the tragedy of war symbolized by a common old man who represents a goat-can't fly away and doesn't have 9 lives - the power of narrative art - It takes a small, ordinary detail in a situation and by the art of story-telling transforms it into a powerful story about the tragedy of war. The old man becomes a symbol of the countless civilian victims of war-- those "without politics." The old man is going to die at the bridge--displaced, disoriented, alone. He's not a cat, nor a dove, but a goat--who was "only taking care of animals."
