Cowardly Lion

Dorothy ironically finds companionship with an ignorant and feebleminded scarecrow, portraying the cretinous farmers of America. A heartless Tin Woodman, who depicted the era of industrial and the rise of industries all across Western society. A cowardly lion that illustrated the nation’s politician atmosphere with the dominating parties being Democrat and Republican. Finally, Dorothy encounters the great, but not so powerful Oz, who demonstrates the advancement of technology in the modern…

Love can be defined as a strong affection for individuals arising out of kinship or personal ties. Love is so powerful it can change natural law. Family is defined as a group of people living under the same roof and under one head. In some selections, characters go through certain journeys to find love from their family. These two selections you would think that they are not similar but in reality they actually are through love. The two selections are The Wizard of Oz by Victor Fleming and…

Today’s society is full of caregivers for children who are eager to teach and pass down morals and values. The students of today are not only being taught these morals from parents, teachers, and peers but also the novels they read. Teachers in classrooms should be encouraged to immerse the students in novels that teach them important values through self reflection. Dorothy Must Die by Danielle Paige is worthy of being included into the ENG2D course because of the novel's values and themes…

The question is this: what kind of leader does a reluctant ruler make? The subject at hand is The Lion King, a seemingly childish cinematic experience with a complicated plot, stemming from African legend and likened by some to Hamlet. Simba, afraid of his past, runs from a future leadership opportunity the way we wish most politicians did. When finally confronted by a friend, he seems almost to be the Anselm of Canterbury of our tale, forced into a position of leadership by people he did not…

“You are condemned to your own crafts, my pet. Now plunge into misery, for your claws are mine.” At this the cowardly Codgar grew courage deep within himself. He leapt atop the leopard, and let loose the first of its nails. Wails echoed through the cavern, the cursed screams of battle. The story goes that as they struggled, even God himself watched scintillatingly…

between the Christian and God. For example, the devil pretend as a serpent and deceive Adam and Eve to eat from the tree of knowledge of good and evil. In 1 Peter 5:8, be self-controlled and alert. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. The scripture used a simile to describe what the devil would do to those Christian.…

addition, the acrobatic stunts by Cirque du Soleil added a twist to the show. The dance performed by the poppy flowers was another performance that did not take place in the original The Wizard of Oz. While the flowers danced seductively around the Cowardly Lion, they were accompanied by an African dance beat. The songs that were performed were all the same from the original The Wiz (1978), except for a new song written by Ne-Yo titled “We Got It.” It was evident that Gospel and the Blues…

One of the main themes in The Wizard of Oz is the theme of Self Confidence and Self Sufficiency. This theme is mainly conveyed through the Scarecrow, Tinman and Lions characters. The Scarecrow doesn’t think he has brains because he is made out of straw, the Tinman doesn’t think he has a heart because he is hollow and the Lion believes he doesn’t have any courage. All of these characters are under the impression that only one person can give them what they need which is the wizard. Then there is…

it. Whereas a diver is a student that ultimately fail through school and slacks off during school. Many people believe that high school athletes are just a bunch of meat heads. Those people are not looking at a true athlete. Those who are the cowardly lion, and shy away from the expectations of not only school but…

The Renaissance is desribed to be the "rebirth" of literature, philosophy, and ideology from ancient times like the Roman society. Although the rebirth of literature, philosophy, and ideology sounds favorable to our society, the Renaissance was not superlative. The Renaissance is proven to be about fabrication of perfection and misinterpretation of love and greatness. This is proven true in two works written in the Renaissance time named The Prince by Niccolò Machiavelli and the Shakespearean…
