Sometimes, a pineapple is just a pineapple

Memedef:


"What the poem says: Tharman Shanmugaratnam: Pineapple
Tharman's symbol is a pineapple
Symbol description: "Pineapple""

What literature teachers explain:
"The semiotic employment of the pineapple motif as a harbinger of fortuitous occurrences injects the narrative with a felicitous undertone, thereby invoking a discernible hermeneutic of auspicious expectancy. The instances of pineapple interludes correspond with nadirs transmuting into zeniths, thereby engendering a metanarrative of serendipitous concatenation. Analogous to a palimpsest, where one must excoriate the veneer to access the succulence underneath, the characters navigate the labyrinthine vicissitudes, unearthing the propitious denouements that are indissolubly tethered to endeavor and tenacity"
