When watching the video clip the stages of the rite of passage was not clearly obvious but after analysing the video clip I found that the preparation stage of the ritual was when Simba sat in the bush and Timon stared to give him a manicure, this symbolizes Timon preparing Simba for his ‘new’ life. I believe the actually ritual is the song that the three of them sang together, in this case the song is symbolizing Simba becoming a new person and “having no worries” (Hakuna Matata). The ritual was completed after Simba ate the insects from Timon, this is symbolizing the new Simba because he is now different from who he was when he first met Timon, the insects are another symbol in this ritual because by eating the insects he is becoming a ‘new’

    In Warriors Don’t Cry I think Melba is a very strong Warrior. I say this because she could have not went to Central High and she could have backed out of it instead of going to all the trouble. Melba knew a lot of white people were going to disagree with integration, especially the kids at school. She knew they were going try to do anything to get rid of her and her friends. But she was prepared and ready for the kids who might or may taunt her and call her bad names and she knew if she prayed every night and asked God to keep her safe and be by her side so that she could get through this year and graduate. But when she went to Central High School, she knew that fighting with the other white people would not solve anything but she knew her

    In the early sixteenth century, the Oba, on the hip or neck, wore the Benin pendant mask during sacred ceremonies. The pendant represents Queen Idia, mother of Oba Esigie, who ruled the Benin court. The pendant is an ivory mask decorated with heads that represent the Portuguese men with beards, symbolizing the Benin’s alliance and dominion over Europeans. The pendant’s forehead was decorated with a pair of metal strips to indicate scarification marks. Below the chin, the pendant has bands of coral beads and carved mudfish are on the crown and collar. Due to their ability to live both on land and in water, mudfish symbolized the king’s double nature as human and divine. Since the Portuguese came from across the seas, they were considered people

    By allowing the birds to nibble off his body, Huan illustrated his desire to be “reveal” again ---- to become human again. The honey/birdseed mask hides his identity, and it could also possibly be a symbol of sins and lies that people build up over time. The birds are his way toward relieving himself and becoming free. When Huan sat upon the throne structure, he becomes the authority of the small “universe” he was in. Huan did not end his performance until one bird pulled on the red ribbon in his mouth. This is the most important part of the performance piece. The red ribbon, which stands out among the neutral color background, represents the bloodline of hope and love. Out of all the 28 birds, only one had the bravery to pull upon it. This one bird symbolizes the fearlessness to challenge a higher authority in spite of fear. Because of this bird’s courage and actions, he was awarded with freedom. Huan is saying sometimes citizens in a society live in fear of acting out against their authority. It is necessary, if not crucial sometimes, to be outspoken despite

  • The Rite of Spring

    942 Words  | 2 Pages

    When one thinks of a ballet they hear soft rhythmic notes and see elegantly dancing ballerinas softly tip-toeing around the stage. This is also what people in early 1900’s expected to see when they planned to attend a ballet. However, a couple of motivated artists in 1913 literally planned to change the design of ballet, music and dance forever. On May 29, 1913 a ballet named The Rite of Spring premiered in Paris, France. The original title as it translates from Russian to French is; Le Sacre du Printemps, meaning the rite of spring, but the literal translation from Russian to English means “Sacred Spring”. The ballet and music were composed by Igor Stravinsky, with the help of Nicholas Roerich, who proposed the general idea behind the ballet to Stravinsky. Roerich wanted to put into motion the ideas behind pagan pre-Christian rituals in Russia. Together the two created the story line behind the ballet; a sacred pagan ritual where a young female dances herself to death and is then offered to the “Gods” of spring to make them happy. The music was composed by Vaslav Nijinsky and the ballet was produced by Sergei Diaghilev for the Russian Ballet. This ballet was so different from what the spectators expected to see that it caused a riot. The Rite of Spring turned the tables of ballet in every sense: the dance, the music and the general idea of ballet was modernized by the group of artists who created and produced it.

    These events include a woman’s first menstruation, when they give birth; before these events occur she is marked from her breasts to her naval and after they occur she is scarred on her back, arms, neck, and legs. Men in this tribe undergo scarification as an initiation ritual and men belonging to the Dinka tribe south of the Nuba scarify themselves similarly, in a rite of passage ceremony. (2007:236.) This tribe practices scarification as a form of rite of passage. A rite of passage is defined as a ritual that not only marks a milestone in the practitioner’s life, but it often also welcomes them into a new social group.

    The Resurrection of Jesus Christ. No other event in history has been the object of as much scrutiny and criticism as the resurrection of Jesus Christ. The resurrection of Christ is the basis upon which all Christianity stands. If the resurrection never happened, then there would be no Christianity, as the Apostle Paul says in 1 Corinthians 15:14, "And if Christ has not been raised, our preaching is useless and so is your faith." This is why opponents of the Christian faith have tried to attempt to discredit the Biblical account of the resurrection. Of the many theories of the resurrection, the Biblical account is the only historically reliable and possible explanation of the resurrection.

  • Rites Of Passage In Inception

    1300 Words  | 3 Pages

    Dreams are worlds that our mind creates. It is the reality that we can control is solely ours. This is the idea that the movie Inception revolves around, that we have the ability to make our own realities. This idea then leads us to the message the movie is conveying, that our ‘reality’ is the one we choose it to be. The purpose of this essay is to prove that the movie Inception promotes this message by analyzing the people around him and Dom Cobb’s experiences in his life using theories that are used to study Religion. I will show how the film relays this message by explaining how his life as an extractor transformed him using Arnold van Gennep’s theory about rites of passage and its stages. This argument will also be justified
