Lion King: Quote Analysis

I choose this quote because the problems from his past keep causing problems for his future if he doesn’t figure out how to work through them.

In chapter one in Of Mice and Men there is a lot that goes on. “Damn hot day” (4) which represent that it must be in the summer time and it is a hot afternoon near Soledad, California, sometime during the 1930s. Nearly everyone is poor and scrambling around desperately for work, food, and money. We meet Lennie and George, which are two guys who are bacisally the poorest and scrambling for new work.

In the book, Of Mice and Men the topic of loneliness is brought upon by foreshadowing of the author. In the book, the author tries to portray loneliness with a characteristic that each character possesses. One of the biggest forms of loneliness would be owned by Candy and how his disability separates him from the rest of the people on the ranch. Candy suffers from a chopped limb located at his arm.

Almost everyone in the world is familiar with the infamous Disney movie The Lion King, but very few have gone into detail and analyzed the rhetoric within the film. Each scene is filled with a sense of pathos that tugs on the emotions of the audience and inevitably pushes them to one side over the other.

For people who grew up watching the original Disney movies, this is a great film to watch in depth and really figure out the meaning behind each scene.

It’s just a process that you’re going through to get you to the next level.” —T.D. Jakes.

This quote shows that people can be different then they can be, people can ultimately change for the worst.

Often times we find ourselves thinking about the past only to try to force the memories away and return to our current delusion. We can never erase the past, but if the past is who we are, then should we just welcome pain back into our lives? Embarrassment, guilt, and pride betray us as we choose to bury our darkest memories in our head and look to a positive future without ever having to readdress them and acknowledge that they had ever happened in the first place. Thinking back now my weakest moment caught me by complete surprise.

In Harper Lee’s To Kill A Mockingbird, the atmosphere of discrimination normalizes the use of slurs, and the ostracization of certain members of the community, for the children in the novel. To Kill A Mockingbird, written in 1960, set in the fictitious town of Maycomb, Alabama. This novel, from the perspective of the character Scout, is a tale of identity, injustice, and inequality in a time of heavy discrimination. In Lee’s novel, the use of slurs is a common occurrence in the town of Maycomb.

I love quotes, I love the way can I relate to them and mainly it enables me put my feelings into words, when I cannot figure them out myself. I think this quote shows the importance of creating memories in life which is why it’s so important. These memories are the things you will look back throughout your entire life. Memories are like your brain’s filing system. It can contain an amazing amount of wonderful moments, because they are a part of our identity and we are going to want to hold onto them, because all memories mean something to us whether it’s good or bad it most likely has a meaning, a story or learning experience behind every memory. But this quote specifically stood out to me. I can relate it to my life in many ways including, gymnastics, family and mainly my friendships.
