Signifier: The image is a charging bull. It's a big, bronze, sculpture centered on wall street.
The bull signifies the power of wall street; the financial gurus of the world. It's not just a bull standing there, but it is in a stance as if it's going to charge. It's almost as if the business men of wall street are powerful enough to put fear in others. The bull is on it's hooves, ready to charge at any sudden movement. The bronze of the bull wants to make it look more powerful as well. It's not gold, something worth a ton of money (not saying there isn't tons of money on wall street), but it's a more stern, hard-looking metal. The bull is overall aggressive and unpredictable, a great description all the business going on on that single street in New York City.
