Totally a glove! The fingers point the way, gloves don't move easily when blown by the wind, the two skins are the glove skin and the person's skin.
The reason why "good vs. evil" is a universal theme is because there are always two forces at work one for good and one for evil and for every good/evil thing there is an evil/good thing that will go up against each other until the end of time or at least until one of them is defeated, but then another good/evil thing will appear to take it place.
Example 1:
Your in high school and there is a bully and you try to stop the bully from hurting others. This makes you the good force and the bully the evil force (he/she doesn't have to be "evil" per-say just bad or mean will do).
The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe is an exceptional book published on 16 October 1950. The story is about four children who are taken out of London to avoid the Blitz and went to live with a professor in his large house. Living there, they discovered a wardrobe that led to a secret passageway to Narnia.
Similarly, in 1941 children were taken out of East London to escape the effects of World War II. These children came from different families and consolidated with one another in times of need.
The theme of the book and real-life events has striking similarities. The children in the book bond with another world to escape the realities of life while, the wartime children made friendships with each other to ease their frustration.
