Christian The Lion Poem
In the Article, “The Wild Life of Christian the Lion” by Tod Olson and the poem, “Wild Home,” by Rebecca Kai Dotlich both had the same theme. The theme for both of the two were about how lions should not be caged up, they should be free to roam around. I know this because in the article, it said that “ Two young men-Ace Brooks and John Rendall-walked into Harrods and saw the lion cub trapped in a small cage.” They means that Ace Brooks and John Rendall felt bad for Christian and felt like they needed to get him out of that cage. Also the article basically said that It would turn into a 500 pound lion with 4 inch razor sharp claws which means he could get really dangerous and possibly kill. Finally, they said that ”But as their plane took off,

    Reginald Rose: Poem Analysis

    Reginald Rose has been a juror before, and he has used his experience to write a play in which he portrays the case of a murder of a boy’s father being put into the hands of people that do not take their responsibilities seriously. One of these characters includes the 7th juror. The author’s use of idiom suggests that in a democracy, there are often citizens that don’t take their role in a democracy seriously. When the writer states, “He’s a bull, this kid. Shoooom. A real jug handle”, (Rose, 2-5)., Rose is conveying his perspective through the 7th juror. The juror’s lack of interest in the case illustrates that there are people in a democracy that have a serious and important role but do not care, and only slack off. Holbrook has a similar…

    Goodwell Nzou Trophy Hunting Analysis

    Because of the lion’s dangerous actions, the villagers had to alter their society and be scared of the “beast”. The cause and effect makes the lion appear to be a figure of terror; not an affectionate creature. Next, Goodwell Nzou supports his second claim by asserting that Americans are hypocritical because they are doing things that are similar to trophy hunting in their own country. He uses an anaphora to appeal to logos when stating, “Don’t tell us what to do with out animals when you allowed your own mountain lions to be hunted to near extinction in the eastern United States. Don’t bemoan the clear-cutting of our forests when you turned yours into concrete jungles” (Nzou). For this claim, the author uses the anaphora to repeat “don’t” to emphasize the fact that Americans should not be criticizing Africans for the killing of Cecil when they do just as much harm to their own country. The readers can clearly see what the Americans are doing to their societies, and begin to wonder if they support the ban for trophy…

    Allegory In Beowulf

    In the book the Fairie Queen, although the lion has no name in the story it is still part of Spensor’s allegory. A lion is the king of the jungle; it inherently signifies natural law. Which could be vehemently ferocious when it has to, but seemingly sympathetic to Christian reality. Rendering to Christian divinity, natural law crafts and creates part of God’s celestial law. Of human nature Christian is not an antagonist, it acts in harmony and unity with it. The lion instinctively assists and protects Una. Conversely, why is it no contest for the knight Sansloy? Without the law, act, rule, or decree of God, who maneuvers outside the circumference of heavenly law? The natural law symbolized and personified in this lion holds no power nor influence above Sansloy. Sansloy is capable of manipulating and destroying the lion because he isn’t subjected to the indefinite laws of nature. Nevertheless, the lion can trounce, conquer and overwhelm the robber, who infringes and disobeys the natural law by constantly stealing, committing larceny, and indulging…

    The Poem Icarus By Irving Layton

    4. The poem “Icarus” by Irving Layton is a very intriguing piece . The first quatrain follows the traditional english meter ABAB. Whereas, the rest of the poem follows no traditional meter and deviates greatly from being an english sonnet. The poem also differs from a traditional sonnet as it does pertain to the same subject , of love. Instead, this poem is more reminiscent of a narrative poem because it tells a story.…

    The Wild Life Of Christian The Lion Analysis

    The theme is that lions should be free. Nothing should hold them back. These lions should not be raised in cages they need to be free so they can thrive and grow and play with other lions and be able to hunt. Then in the text “wild home” by Rebecca Kai Dotlich It says: “grazing in star grass, listening to sunbirds and weavers, joining fellow roamers day and night.” Then it says “They belong under the white moon, free and untethered and wild like savanna skies.” Then in the text “The wild life of Christian the lion” By Tod Olson.

    Technology Exposed In Ray Bradbury's Use Of Technology

    They were given everything possible, unlimited access to their imagination, their hearts desires all in one room, care and nurture but not from their parent. Like many kids at one point they dreamed up a place with no rules, no adults and the want to be free to never grow up is understandable. Even at 10 they are growing up fast going to the carnival alone and asking to go to NY. But the stories endings are much different, in Peter Pan the kids want to go back home to their parent but in The Veldt the children rebel against their parents. In changing the story Bradbury reveals a darker twist to the story. The room embodies their childhood and the lions could represent their anxiety and fear of growing up, so they lash out by having the very thing that scares them kill their…

    Caedmon's Hymn

    In all literature, the author is at the forefront of constructing text and all its meaning. The author is tasked with the important duty of ascribing meaning to their text when composing a piece of literature. However, within the process of composition the reader must acknowledge the author’s positionality and experiences in regards to their work too. That is to say, the reader is able to infer the significance of the author’s role as the conveyor of ideas through the author’s experiences, occupation, or idiosyncrasies. Furthermore, this provides the opportunity for the reader to highlight how that position and those experiences influence the significance of the author’s work.…
