At first I thought the whole poem was about the journey to death but now I think its also
about redemption

Before knowing the Primordial symbols, we thought that it was simply about a man going to the beach and leaving. Now, we believe that the poem is symbolizing when someone dies, you have to continue to move on because nothing will stop for you.

The first stanza symbolizes the end of the day and the man's journey. The second symbolizes the unknown, however, the waves are still flowing back and forth creating the symbolism that life still goes on. Finally, in the third the dawn of the day symbolizes a new beginning and the waves, or life, still goes on.

The symbols helped us to realize that life goes on even after death. The traveler represents a person who passed and the tide represents time passing

life goes on even after people pass. The traveller, "leaves town," which represents death. The ocean is time passing on (keeps on moving on)

After looking at the primordial symbols, they changed our way of thinking by giving the poem a darker feel. At first, we thought it was simply a man traveling on the beach, but now we actually think he  was in trouble.

My first thought was the poem was just telling a story of a nomadic traveller, but actually its telling  about the repetition of beginning and end.

The symbols helped us realize that the traveller
actually travelled towards death, died, and went to Heaven.

The symbols made us think deeper into what the poem could be trying to convey. The symbols changed the way we interpreted night to day. The symbols helped us come up with the theme that everything will come to an end, but something new wills always start and life will carry on.

At the beginning, my group thought the traveller was a horse. Now, with our primordial symbols made us come to the conclusion that the traveller dies and life continues to go on.

I thought the theme was a man traveling from place to place, sleeping in horse stables at night. After learning of the symbolism I believe the man is dying and his death is quickly approaching.

With the symbols, it helps to understand that life goes on. Even after the death. The tide symbolizes time passing by. Before we interpreted with the symbols, my group thought the poem was about a traveller walking on the beach and leaving at twilight. But after interpreting with symbols, we believe that it is symbolizing when someone dies but you have to continue with life even if it's hard.

It went from a story of a traveller going to a town, to a battle of light and dark with the ocean being the mediator. It represents that life goes on no matter what changes are occurring in your life.

The Primordial Symbols helped us because it gave us a better view, as well as a more detailed and defining how our group interpreted the poem.

The first time reading "The Tide Rises, the Tide Falls" we thought the traveller was a someone on vacation. Now with Primordial Symbols it changed the way the we looked at the poem. The Symbols helped us realize that the Traveler is someone dying and they are beginning there new life in heaven.

Before interpreting the symbols in the poem, Anabell and I determined that the traveller, to put it bluntly, died. After reviewing the primordial symbols, our conclusion was further supported. For example, the word darkness in the beginning of stanza two represents the unknown, evil, and fear. It leaves a sense of mystery, a sort of, "what happened," kind of feeling. The sea and its "soft, white hands" represents innocence, but the surrounding darkness adds in a sense of evil and dread. The traveller gives into the darkness and goes into the sea. As the tide rises and falls, the passage of time is represented. The traveller's footprints are washed away, and the next day continues as normal. However, the word "twilight" represents his death, as he never returned from the sea.
