Zenibaba And Sen

There comes a point in time in an individual’s life in which their name truly becomes a part of their identity. A name is more than just a title to differentiate people; it is a part of the person. In Lost Names: Scenes from a Korean Boyhood by Richard E. Kim, names play a major role on the character’s identities. The absence and importance of the names in the story make the story rich with detail and identity through something as simple as the name of a character. Names are a significant factor affecting the story and the characters throughout the novel Lost Names.

Simba’s heroic qualities don’t just stand out when he is found by Nala begging him to return to Pride Rock to save everyone and the community, but also when he meets Pumbaa and Timon.

Simba shows all characteristics of a hero throughout his journey, it begins with his separation from his family, and his choice to runaway. Simba has to deal with guilt and is tested emotionally, he has been told that he killed his father and needs

Many characters in Morrison’s book are given names that describe them somehow throughout the story. Names in the book or either historically based or given in regards to the character’s personality or events that happened throughout the book. As the story goes on, character either let names define them or escape them.

On the news, there are cases of people who have lost his or her memory. With the loss of memory, those people lose who they are in a sense. They have no clue of who they are. Just from the single fact of a name could have someone feeling like themselves in no time. Everyone has a story behind how his or her name began. A person’s name could say a lot about them. For instance, if there was a boy named Bill, could someone think it was short for Billy Osborne, the former keyboardist of L.T.D,Love Togetherness and Devotion(SoulTracks)? Maybe he could be the next president who gets elected twice like Bill Clinton back in 1993(Bio). There are so many possibilities that pop in one’s head. There is never a chance to know the truth unless asked about it or even if it is looked up.

Miyazaki shows his audience that both worlds share the same parallel circles; names were powerful in the spirit and human worlds -- names identify identity in both worlds. It was very important for Sen aka Chihiro, in “Spirited Away” to remember her name because if she did not, then she wouldn’t be able to return to her natural world. In “Ponyo” it was also important for her to have a name. Another example of the power of words was when Yubaba let Chihiro, in “Spirited Away”, signed over her name to her and then she assigned Chihiro a new. Haku in “Spirited Away”, couldn’t remember his name but he sensed that Yubaba had something to do with it, and so, he made sure that Chihiro didn’t forget her name – because she would be trapped just as he was. Sosuke also assigned Ponyo a name; not that giving Ponyo a name in the human world would bring anything mystical, but it gives her self-worth, identity, and belonging, just like Chihiro. Miyazaki shows his audience that there was no difference in the sprite or the human world that both worlds are equally

11. Simba knows that the throne is rightly his but does not seek revenge on his uncle unlike Hamlet who seeks revenge on his uncle in order to avenge his father’s death.

Names. They are our whole identity. They determine who we are for our whole life. And in The Crucible, written by Arthur Miller, he mentions a lot about names. I think he is trying to teach his audience that names mean and represent large amounts of power and dignity and also reputation.

By simply referring to the four main characters by their appellation—the mother, the son, the daughter, and the father— it is shown that this isn’t the story of only one family; this is the story of numerous families that were uprooted and torn apart during this period of Japanese internment and discrimination. These four nameless characters can be any Japanese person in the United States and their experiences can be be extended to all Japanese Americans at that time. Meanwhile, the namelessness of the characters also conveys the loss of their identities. One Japanese American who was arrested as a spy said, “We were just numbers to them, mere slaves to the Emperor. We didn't even have names. I was 326” (Otsuka 119). The Japanese lost the basic right to their own names, and consequently, they lost their identities. Knowing that their Japanese identities may them trouble, the children even attempt to change their identities. They said, “We would change our names to sound more like theirs. And if our mother called out to us on the street by our real names we would turn away and pretend not to know her” (Otsuka 114). In this way, it can be said that identity is encoded in a name. Much like the children, I attempted to

The concept of having a “good name” is established at the very beginning of the tale, with the intertwined

Simba was banished from his homeland by his evil uncle Scar's hyenas (who acted as his personal army and assistants), who were really supposed to kill him. He is found by Timon and Pumba, a meerkat and warthog, and he grows up in a

The use of names throughout the novel is also a way to show the power roles between the characters.  This can be seen by the fact that Celie is unable to call Mr. _______ by his first name, and in fact hardly even recognizes the

In both texts the love interests of Simba and Hamlet serve as reminders of the positive qualities of these protagonists. Disney’s Nala started as Simba’s best friend they would go on adventures together and would never have thought they would fall in love. After Simba’s fathers, tragic death Scar told him to run away leaving everyone he loved including his mother Sarabi and

Throughout the story the protagonist is left nameless. This provides the reader with another question of identity. Without a name to attach to the character, we are left without an identity.

A name is not just what you’re called, it is who you are. It is what you stand for and ultimately defines you as a person. Growing up, I used to think my name did not fit me and that nothing that my name stood for had anything to do with me. Now that I am older, I understand the real meaning of my name and how the traits that are connected with my name relate to the person that I have become and continue to develop into. My name represents who I am and who I plan to be.
