his works called Lion Grove Garden was created in 1988. It measures 117 inches by 57 inches, which is the largest piece of all of his works. Lion Grove Garden is one of the four famous gardens in Suzhou, and numerous artists have created countless works about it. However, Wu’s work was most unique, because he used dots, lines and planes to create an image of the garden with his own visual language, which uses oil painting to express Chinese aesthetics.

Are Disney Movies Suitable for the Adolescent Mind? I. Many people can say that the first movie they have ever seen was a Disney movie. There is something exciting and magical about them. Walt Disney has done a wonderful job at sparking the imagination of little boys, who dream of being a pirate and slaying dragons, and little girls, who dream of being a princess and finding true love. It’s in these movies, that a child can escape reality and go to a place in their imagination, to become the…

the four children, sent away to a mysterious house and the wardrobe that transports them to a magical new land. The tale is just as enchanting as I recall, but this time through the story, the magic I appreciate most is not found in the pages of The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe. Rather, I admire the magic light of my youngest brother’s eyes as his imagination latches onto each syllable I read. I can almost see the pictures of the characters forming in his mind. As I share the characters’…

The Sacrifice is Real. What is sacrifice? Sacrifice in my mind is giving something up for the people you love and/or care about. Sacrificer can be hard. As we know in The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe, by C. S. Lewis, sacrifice is also constant. It’s always there, always changing. In this book, there are four young children; Peter, Lucy, Susan, and Edmund. They witness sacrifice all throughout the book. From the beginning to the end of the story. The first sacrifice made in this story is…

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…

is in the lion den (Daniel 6: 10-19), and when Daniel’s friends are thrown into a fiery furnace (Daniel 3:23). In the biblical story, the king has signed a document that says no one was allowed to prey to anyone, human being or divine, for thirty days or else they were thrown into a lion’s den (Daniel 5:7). Daniel, even though he knew this was signed, prayed to God anyway (Daniel 6:10) and was thrown in a lion’s den (Daniel 6:16). In the Bastille song, it quotes “well you think the lions are…

one or more themes in the novel. Is the theme directly stated or implied? Explain. There are a couple themes in my novel, The Lions of Little Rock. Both of these themes are universal and implied. One of the themes of my story, is: Don’t draw conclusions without reason. This is basically the “Don’t judge a book by its cover” theme, stated in a less corny way. In The Lions of Little Rock, the other characters are quick to judge Liz when she was caught passing for white. Marlee though, got to…

Lions. Powerful animals; they are famously identified as ‘Kings of the Jungle’. Aslan, the One True ruler of Narnia, is often compared by Christian believers with their own lord and saviour; God, and out of the Holy Trinity, his son Jesus, known in the bible as ‘Lion of Judah’ (Revelations 5:5). This can be attested by the many references throughout the chronicles, such as in the fifth instalment with Shasta proclaiming, “knew none of the true stories about Aslan, the great Lion, the son of the…
