Summary Of The NovelLion By Saroo Brierley

In this sometimes heartbreaking, inspiring novel, Rob Horton, a glum,twelve year old boy living his sad, lonely life with his dad, was wandering through the woods one misty Florida morning when he finds the most unexpected creature, a beautiful tiger. A real life glistening tiger, locked up in a cage. On the same outstanding day he meets a fierce girl named Sistine Bailey while in school. Together, with the tiger always in their hearts;guiding them and leading them to make choices, they go through heartaches,happiness and loneliness. Also, despite their opposites,they uncover the meaning of true friendship and learn that the most important things in life, can’t stay hidden forever. In my opinion, this book teaches an important lesson. I think the lesson taught in this novel is inspiring, and is something worth-while. I think this book teaches you that you can’t focus on your past, and you can’t keep the whole world locked up forever.

As previously mentioned, the author utilizes perspective in order to create powerful style and language. The writer implements a first person perspective in order to accomplish this. The writer mentions “Throughout the evening people came to warn me about themselves.” Using this first person perspective the author gives the reader insight on his perspective and how he perceives things. This adds upon the language and style as it revolves around this perspective.

A person can learn many important facts when they come face-to-face with history. Whether it be how someone actually died or if the battle ended exactly as it was accounted for, there is always something learned. Nineteen year old Kelsey Hayes learns just that. She comes face-to-face with an Indian prince who has been cursed to be a tiger until someone can set him free. The Indian Prince, by the name of Dhiren, and Kelsey travel the world to break this curse that plagued Ren for the past 300 years. The theme for Tiger’s Curse is the journey is worth the trials.

Rosemary Dobson’s The Tiger delicately examines the notion of discovery as a medium of freedom, relating back to her own mental captivity similar to a tiger in a cage. The extended metaphor allows careful analysis of the sub-lying plot describing a poet's sense of discovery through their imagination. Through Dobson’s use of emotive language in “smouldering with rage,” the audience can better understand the poet’s deeply felt emotion, being unable to write to her heart’s content. “Behind the black-barred page” further accentuates, assisted by the alliteration, the statement's metaphoric value of remaining captive under frustration and oppression, destroying any belief or hope of achieving freedom to discover. Additionally, the hyperbole in the celestial frame of “He rakes the sky and stars...and is not done,” emphasises the search and will to discover, explaining that Dobson will do anything for her freedom, in order to achieve self gratification. The extended metaphor is resolved in the final

The 2016 film Lion, which was first a book called “A Long Way Home”, is a film where a boy named Saroo was separated from his brother in the train station, which leads to Saroo getting on a train taking him thousands of miles away from his family and his home. Saroo, who was only five-years-old when he got lost, had to learn to survive alone in Kolkata, West Bengal. Days after arriving to Kolkata, the city the train left him at, he got admitted into an orphanage, which later turned out to him getting adopted by an Australian couple. But twenty-five years later, he starts to wonder where his first home and family are at the moment. With only his memories, determination, and Google Earth he starts looking and searching where his small

Another reason why the book is so worthwhile to read is that it captures another aspect of the human story:

First, Kino’s call to adventure with Coyotito being savagely stung by a scorpion and Kino having to find money for the doctor to pay for Coyotito’s medical treatment, second,Kino’s allies that will be by his side no matter what and lastly the examples of how Kino is truly a tragic hero. In John Steinbeck's novella, The Pearl the text gives many hints and clues that the novel follows the pattern of a Hero's Journey. This essay will cover the 3 main aspects of Kino's Journey which eventually leads to his ultimate sacrifice. My claim is significant and relevant to The Pearl because without the three main aspects to Kino’s Journey, the novel would not be the award winning, captivating book that it

Silko uses similes to portray the value of the mountain lion. The mountain lion’s motion “were like the shimmering of tall grass in the wind.” Comparing the mountain lion to the imagery of “shimmering tall grass in the wind” portrays a magical and ethereal-like scene. The imagery gives the impression that there is beauty and value found in something fundamental. Moreover, the theme of transformation is evident through the mountain lions relentless motions. The mountain lion changes “dark as lava rocks, and suddenly as bright as a field of snow.” The “dark as lava rocks” indicates fear, confusion, and overall negativity. On the other hand, “bright as a field of snow” signifies clarity, rebirth, and cleansing. The motions of the mountain lion is parallel to Tayo’s experience and Tayo recognizes the changing as he whispers: “mountain lion, becoming what you are with each breath.” Tayo learned about the significance of the mountain lion and a lesson during their encounter.

The author Gary Paulsen, uses different literary techniques to help the reader grasp a deeper meaning of the story. Throughout the book, Paulsen explores the use of similes and repetition to bring the characters and setting of the story to 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. The scene in which Saroo is having a meal with his friends, he tries to eat with his hands, but then fails and resolves to eat with a fork and knife. Saroo's whole self identity changed as he grew up in Australia, causing him to identify more as Australian rather than

Magoon decided to write this novel in first person point of view. Personally, in a book that is filled with emotion and controversial subjects, such as this one, first person point of view engages me to develop feelings and opinions. I say this because when the protagonist narrated, he openly shared his thoughts and feelings, such as

One of my first impressions of the story “White Tigers” by Maxine Hong-Kingston is that the story that she shares with the reader is what I believed to be a dream that she had. I thought that this dream was inspired by the times her and her mother spoke their own language, talk story. Talking story is a dialect that transcends our basic comprehension of communication. It is the hybrid of our own language, and the power of storytelling fused upon one another. I thought that Kingston told us this story because it was the best dream that she has ever imagined. This story was so moving for her since she felt a deep connection with it.

The Lion and the Ox is a one of the oldest and most popular pieces of classic Arabic literature. Originally from India, this animal fable is famous for its inclusion of many other animal fables, each of which help provide the characters of the story with advice regarding their situation. Unlike The Arabian Nights, which also uses a frame tale that contains each tale, multiple animals share their wisdom with one another. The wisdom of the story’s two main characters, Kalila and Dimna, help foreshadow and motivate the events of the frame tale and bring it to a reasonable yet tragic conclusion.
