In the clip “The Lion’s Cage” Charlie is running away from a donkey, and he ends up to be in a lion’s cage. He turns back to leave, but the door is locked behind him. One of the proxemics that is clear then is that he keeps a large distance between him and the lion, which reflect that he is afraid. The lion is still sleeping, but a dog comes and starts barking, so he uses his hand gestures to try to ask the dog not to bark. He tries to be as quiet and calm as he could, and he never touches the lion, which is one of the haptics that he does. About the chronemics, he uses his time to figure out how to escape from the cage before the lion wake up. When he tries to crawl into the next cage, he saw a tiger and his eyes become big, so he crawls back
to the lion’s cage. His facial expressions reflect that he is surprised and scared. At the end of the clip, a lady opens the door for him, and he become able to get out. He tries to impress her by staying in the cage pretending like he's not scared until the lion roars and he ran out.
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).
Out of all of the poems we read, personally “They Feed They Lion” by Philip Levine stuck with me the most. Ironically, this was the poem I probably had the most difficulty understanding but after analyzing it and attempting to make sense of it, I became very transfixed on the style and eloquence of the work.
C.S. Lewis is commonly regarded as one of the most influential Christian apologists during his time. While many recognize him as the writer of “The Chronicles of Narnia,” he was also an out-spoken Christian. He commonly wrote pieces of work that challenged Christians in their faith as well as in their lives. He wrote many non-fiction novels that dealt with this sort of behavior, including “Mere Christianity,” “Miracles,” and “The Problem of Pain.” Even in some of his fictional novels, his writing had many Christian themes as well. Despite being well-known for his novels, he also wrote many poems as well. His poetry dealt with many different subject matters, including morals, war, science fiction, and Christianity. Almost all of his poetry
In 2013, just shy of my 17th birthday, I planned a day trip with two of my friends to see The Phantom of the Opera in New York. At this point in my life, I was entirely unaccustomed to large cities, such as New York City, and felt excited to experience the bustle I expected. While in the city, a woman informed me about methods to avoid the crime so intertwined with life in the city and introduced me to the concept that, just as New York City held many attractions for tourists, it also held some dangers as well. This idea takes pride of place in Edward Jones’ short story, “Young Lions” and its discussion of Caesar Matthews. As I learned a few years ago, the city truly contains amazement for those experiencing it, but, like all things in life,
Environmental scientists and social activists are starting to argue that Caged Animal Feeding Operations ( CAFO’s) are detrimental to the environment in a variety of ways. CAFO’s are the result of 10,000 years of human progress stemming from the transition of a hunter/gatherer society to an agrarian society. The transition from a hunter/gatherer society to an agrarian society contributed to the creation of major cities, resulting in higher populations i.e. Mesopotamia. As time progressed and countries started becoming more populated, specifically the United States, a higher demand for food needed to be met due to the growing populous. It got to the point where there were so many people that small family run farms could not meet the demand of the growing population.
The film, "Couple in the Cage", represents how indigenous people were taken around the United States like circus acts. Oboler and Flores had similar ideas about what it means to be Hispanic. The "Monroe Doctrine" proved Latinos have been seen as dependents in the United States since the beginning. Finally, Joseph and Roseberry investigated the term “culture” in their pieces. This essay will explore how the film “Couple in the Cage” illustrates concepts written by Flores, Oboler, Monroe, Joseph, and Roseberry about to Latinos in the United States. (90)
Before the operation, he exhibited some clear strengths such as determination, a positive attitude, friendly with people and some weaknesses such as education and inability to understand the adult world. After the operation, he begun to change in numerous ways. Charlie started out as being not really intelligent. Being around with “smart” people made him want to change and became “intelligent” just like his “friends.” I think its all crazy. If you can get smart when your sleeping why do people go to school. That thing I don't think will work. I use to watch the late show and the late late show on TV all the time and it never made me smart (Keyes 118). This part of the book led Charlie’s flashbacks takes place of how he was raised or nurtured through his childhood, Of how he wanted to try to become smart. However Dr. Strauss believes that his sleep would help Charlie be able to learn. However in his nature, his disability cannot help him at all, doesn’t matter how much he tries to watch TV and tries to go to sleep, I wouldn’t allow him to learn anything at all. The nurture of this is having the doctor recommend Charlie to do this. His disability also not just affects him but his family as well. His disability kind of makes his sister miserable as well, jealous over how the parents focus on Charlie due to his disability, despite the successes the sister achieves in school. Thus Charlie’s nature towards others has a negative effect which is towards his sister. Charlie was raised by his parents but through a condition that would then follow him probably for the rest of his life as well as being mainly raised through this experiment, which possibly wouldn’t help him at all in the near
Considering the many challenges animals face in the wild, it is understandable that people may be eager to support zoos and may feel that they are protective facilities necessary for animal life. In the article “ Zoos Are Not Prisons. They Improve the Lives of Animals”, Author Robin Ganzert argues that Zoos are ethical institutions that enrich the lives of animals and ultimately protect them. Statistics have shown that animals held in captivity have limited utilitarian function resulting in cramped quarters, poor diets, depression, and early death for the animals thus, proving that Zoos are not ethical institutions that support and better the lives of animals as author Robin Ganzert stated (Cokal 491). Ganzert exposes the false premise in stating
In Williams, Tennessee’s play The Glass Menagerie, Amanda’s image of the southern lady is a very impressive. Facing the cruel reality, she depends on ever memories of the past as a powerful spiritual to look forward to the future, although her glory and beautiful time had become the past, she was the victim of the social change and the Great Depression, but she was a faithful of wife and a great mother’s image cannot be denied.

Hanna Rosin a writer for The Atlantic states in “Mother Inferior” she concentrates on showing how Western style parenting is not considered pathetic as Amy Chau the author of “Battle of the Tiger Mother” assumes. She indicates that the different style of parenting shows how some kids are free willed and take on life learning and making mistakes while others are stuck trying to master one thing without having a choice. She claims that although parents need to push their child to be successful you must give them some control in finding their own likes and dislikes not threatening and belittling the child to motivate them. She gave examples of children who were held to high standards who weren’t comfortable with simply enjoying life. Rosins wanted

I saw two plays that I was interested in writing about, however, I realized that Lion King Jr. was the performance that piqued my interest the most. I attended the first showing on Thursday, March 2 after hearing about it from a family friend whose children were part of the cast. Courtyard Theatre Productions presented the play at the Church of Christ in Jenks, Oklahoma. Caroline Frame directed the Lion King Jr. with her assistant Libby Rose. The actors in the play were all children ranging from middle schoolers to early high schoolers; same with the tech and makeup crews. The main characters in the play were played by Cobin Stockstill as Mufasa; Emma Swank and Evi Rose as young and old Nala; Caleb Matlach as Scar; and Tanner Matlach and Jack Ransdell as young and old Simba.
The Lion is one of the most powerful and fearless animals in the entirety of the universe. It kills anything ruthlessly and without mercy, some even kill their own young. If it wasn’t obvious, the Lion’s mind is very different compared to ours to the language they speak to what they think and feel, but maybe some Lions are not the ones we see in the zoo. Just like how some monsters are not the ones under the bed, maybe the true Lions are the people walking around on two feet. What if they have the face of a man or woman? What if they are the ones seen on the news for the horrific actions they have committed? What if the Lion is the person children are taught to prepare for and be terrified of? What if the Lion is the true fear of all parents?
I can relate to the situation of the novel Tears Of A Tiger to my own life. For example, I can relate to B.J because I do hang out with people that drink here and there and I know it's not a right choice but I hang out with them because they know how to have fun and make me laugh a lot. I also feel relatable to b.j because I don't drink, but I also feel like I have to take care of them in a way and not to let them make dumb decisions. According to the text,”Andy and Rob and Tyrone all knew that I didn’t they never bothered me much about it. I think they even respected me a little because of it”.
