Summary Of The Lion King By Julie Taymor

Decent Essays
In “The Lion King” designed by Julie Taymor the actors play multiple roles while using puppets. This would take a pretty talented person in order to pull off this feet. The actor has to multi task between being a puppeteer and an actor. Also this would take an extraordinary amount of practice to keep their thoughts together and have the performance down pat. From watching Paul Zerdin on America’s Got Talent this past season I know have effective of an act this can be with enough rehearsal. He was able to really make the different characters come to life and have their own personalities. At times it was very believable that there was three different people on the stage at once but actually it was just him. But you could tell that he was very

    Based on the what was learned about trust in The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, trust is the most basic trait needed in everyday life. Without it, things cannot set into motion. Aslan is portrayed as a great ruler of Narnia, kind and merciful, just as lions were known to be in medieval folklore. He is trusted by the inhabitants of Narnia to lead them out of the Witch’s evil rule. The fact that C.S. Lewis was expressing his opinions and showing the value of trust in the story through the characters is shown in my interpretation of the several events in the…

    I think that the movie is better than the book because the movie has more light and there is music. And the book does not have light or music you have to make a picture in your mind.

    One thing I found interesting about this reading, was how King opens his chapter with the genealogy of the “mystical” and exposes epistemologies of Western blindness and assumption. He believed that the western study of religion largely depended on Enlightenment. IN some sense, Orientalism reflects the political power relationship between the western civilization with Asia where the west dominates and maintains authority over the Orient (or in this case the East). The reading even mentions that according to Inden, the “indological discourse transforms Indians into subjugated objects of a superior knowledge” (King). This suggests that the oriental discourse is more a sign of power than a true account of the Orient.…

    Frederick Douglass (February 1818 - February 20, 1895) was a well-known escaped slave who was an abolitionist leader, author, and the first African-American government official.

From reading this book a reader could learn that slavery was a much more complex system than simply one human owning another, but rather an entire lifestyle and culture. Overall, I found the book to be very insightful and interesting to read. America in the 1800s was very rough for slaves.…
