Recommended: Two themes in 'The Wild Life of Christian The Lion

I believe that there are 2 themes in ‘The Wild Life Of Christian The Lion.’ one would be to let things go, the other is that everything happens for the best. In the article, Ace and John have to say goodbye to their lion, Christian, because they feared he would be considered dangerous if kept in london. John said “We knew we couldn’t betray him by putting him in a zoo”, So, they send him to a camp with other lions, who eventually come to live in the wild. Christian had to be let go, and the poem, ‘Wild Home’, could explain what he did after Ace and John left on their plane. It said that lions, not specifically Christian, ‘grazed on star grass, listening to sunbirds and weavers, joining fellow roamers day and night.’ It also quoted how free

    Every story has a tone to it, and the choice of words Stockton uses in his makes it a more powerful and suspenseful story overall. The words make the readers feel anxious about what will occur, as well as providing vivid imagery for the readers to image the scenes in their head. One example that supports this claim is how Stockton describes the princess, as well as describing her feelings for her lover. In the text, it states, “...but upon that hot-blooded,

  • Biblical Influences in Modern Cinema

    913 Words  | 2 Pages

    History holds many pieces of influential literature. These works have left such an impression in history that they continue to influence many aspects of life in modern culture, one being film. One of these pieces of literature, arguably one of the most influential, is the Bible. A plethora of movies and shows have been made as depictions of biblical scenes and narratives, however there have also been just as many films made that were less blatantly influenced by the Bible. One of these movies is the favorite Disney film "Lion King". While on face value, it doesn't seem to embody anything from the bible, if looked at a little closer, the film relates to a few biblical narratives.

    In the novel Where the Red Fern Grows the protagonist Billy encounters a mountain lion when he is traveling alone with his pups. (Pg. 111). According to Wikipedia, the mountain lion is “properly considered both nocturnal and crepuscular.” which means that they are primarily nocturnal but are most active at dusk or dawn.

  • Symbolism In Pride Of Baghdad

    1574 Words  | 4 Pages

    Pride of Baghdad is a short graphic novel written by Brian K. Vaughn. In the spring of 2003, a pride of lions escaped from the Baghdad zoo during an American bombing raid. The Pride of Baghdad story revolves around four lions in a struggle for their lives that are lost and confused roaming the destroyed streets of Baghdad. Vaughn’s Pride of Baghdad uses unique symbolism by representing the Iraqi society during the war in each animal’s character. He uses animals to bring the reader closer to the topic of war. When reading I felt an emotional attachment to the lions along their journey. I feel the conversations between animals could easily be interchanged with real people. I believe one of the most important pages is the conversation between Noor and one of the

    The difference between living to work and working to live is a great one. As times change and the amount of jobs available grows so does the need people feel to enjoy their day to day jobs. It is not only a need in society to support their families but also to be happy in both family time and work time.

As time goes on being happy naturally becomes harder and harder, and the desire to fulfill that in every way possible has increasingly more important in the workplace.

  • Art Analysis: Assurnasirpal Two Killing Lions

    381 Words  | 1 Pages

    Three dimensional art is defined as media which “occupies space, defined through the dimensions of height, width and depth” (SAYLOR). These art works can be geometric or organic in nature (NORTON). Three dimensional art forms include sculptures, crafts and architecture. Three dimensional art form is fascinating to me because of the amount of realism and beauty it embodies, as well as for its functional and aesthetic value. For this assignment, I chose two beautiful pieces that illustrated the characteristic of three dimensional art and the processes it took to produce them. The first art work I want to analyze is a sculpture done by an Iraqi artist from Kalhu (modern day Nimrud) entitled, “Assurnasirpal II Killing Lions” (Sayre, 420).

    Although the movie The Lion King is often times viewed as nothing more than a child-based movie, in actuality, it contains a much deeper meaning. It is a movie that not only displays the hardships of maturation, and the perplexities associated with growing, but it is also a movie that deals with the search for one's identity and responsibility. As said by director Julie Taymor, "In addition to being a tale about a boy's personal growth, the `Lion King' dramatizes the ritual of the `Circle of Life'." Throughout The Lion King, Simba must endeavor through the cycle of birth, death, and rebirth to take his place in the circle of life, as king of the pridelands.

  • A Comparison Of Pygmalion And Androcles And The Lion

    George Bernard Shaw uses many different approaches throughout his many works. In Pygmalion and Androcles and the Lion, he uses two very different paths ending in two different results. For example, in Androcles and the Lion, he show how doing a good deed will result in a reward, but in Pygmalion, someone does a good deed for the main character, and she feels ruined because of it. The motivation for the good deed, the deed itself, and the outcome of the deed are all three different in both of the works.

  • The Story of Samson and the Lion Discussion

    1772 Words  | 4 Pages

    Over two thousand years have passed and yet, Samson still remains a well-known and idealized character. Long, luxurious hair, strength and stature unmatched, blessed by God from birth and handpicked to be the leader of a blessed nation – it’s no wonder that today, Samson is remembered more for these qualities than the actual acts he is infamous for. In Judges 14, Samson shows blatant disregard for tradition, customs, sacrament, his parents, women, and people, as he kills over 30 people without a second thought, and yet we are to believe that he is the man who will lead Israel out of the hands of the Philistines. Was it God who really appointed him, or was the author of the text trying to make a point? It is my hypothesis that in the story of Samson and the lion and the woman of Timnah, the author is trying to convince the audience that simply having a leader, or a Judge, is not adequate to lead Israel; Israel needs a king, and that the women portrayed in the text are an example of how women should behave.
