Saroo Brierley's 'Lion': Similarities Between Book And Movie

There is a huge difference between signs and symbols and many of these were seen in the movie Secondhand Lions. A sign is a physical thing, gibes a brief message, stands for something, and usually instructs someone about something. Examples of signs are warning signs, street signs, informations signs, open/closed signs of shops and restaurants, and many more. A symbol, on the other hand, is something that is visible but represents something invisible that is hard to put into words. It requires your interpretation and they affect how we feel. Examples of symbols are actions like hugs or hand shakes when someone passes away, objects like wedding rings to represent a couples love, a dove to express peace, and a cross to represent Christianity.

As always Turtle still wins the Westing Game. That’s just a small list of what the similarities are between the book and movie.

There are also many similarities between the book and the movie as well. One would be the theme of both the movie and the book which is that greed causes people to do horrible things. For example, when Juana tried to throw Kino’s pearl into the ocean, Kino tore the pearl back from her and beat her. Another thing the book and the movie have in common is that Coyotito dies in the end. This is critical because when Coyotito dies that is when Kino realizes the evil of the pearl and that he must get rid of it. It

Heroes are present in movies, tv shows or games. A “hero's journey” shows a character's journey on gaining the title of a “hero”. A movie or tv show may show a character or multiple characters go through very difficult times but it the end show how they overcame adversity and is now known as a hero. In the Lion King, Simba can be seen as a hero with the challenges he endures and what he overcomes by the end. Simba has many heroic qualities his wisdom, compassion for others, moral reasoning and responsibility makes him stand out above all other characters. Simba as a young lion, was very selfish and naive to many things happening at Pride Rock . His choice to run away at a young age showed he didn't want to face his problems or accept what he thought he did. Simba begins to gain heroic qualities as he is now living his own life in a faraway jungle, he is learning how to be independent, and how to live his own life instead of being in the shadow of his dad, the king of Pride Rock.

The audience is engaged in Saroo’s experiences as he learns to trust people along his journey so he can survive. Saroo uses his trust and friendships to help him get off the streets and find a place to sleep or a place to the stay like the orphanage.”When he saw me watching him, he said hello and we talked shyly for a bit. He seemed to know more words than i did, to speak more like an adult, so he probably went to school, but he was friendly and we played around on the street for a while. Then he said i could go with him to his house. Cautiously, if followed.”Pg 62/63. “We talked for a bit and i admitted i was lost, and he invited me to stay with his family. i might have hesitated, wondering whether he meant me harm or would turn on me, as the little boys mother had but i went with him.” Pg 65 in this example Saroo bonds trust with two people, older boy and the young school boy. it informs the reader that Saroo is in a situation where he does need help but it also displays that there are people that will help and sometimes these people can save your life.

Lion was an inspiring movie that had a main focus on Saroo's assimilation into Australian culture. His immigration into Australia is of course what started his assimilation. Consequently, Saroo lost the ability to speak Hindi, as seen at the end of the movie when he reunites with his mother, because he grew up in an English-speaking culture. As well Saroo forgot aspects of his culture, such as eating with his hands, that were uncommon or looked down upon in Australian culture.
