“Aslan, meaning “lion” in Turkish,” (Akdikmen 428). is a talking lion, son of the Emperor-Over-the-Sea, who is wise, compassionate, mysterious, and beloved. Although he is gentle and loving, Aslan is also powerful, dangerous and “not a tame lion.” (Lewis 182). Eustace, for example, recognized his need for redemption. The only one who could redeem him was Aslan.
It is too bad that William Blake did not have the National Geographic channel. If he had, he would know that the Tiger is no more evil than any other member near the top of the food chain. It kills slower animal because that is the circle of life. There is no hidden, spiritual agenda. In his poem, The Tyger, Blake poses the question of who created the fearsome beast.
2.1.1) The Hemingway Code Hero: Hemingway's heroes have nearly always been defeated, or have died, and have lost what they loved, even though the stories seemed at first to celebrate purely physical courage and prowess. The important thing was the code fought by, and keeping the right feeling toward what was fought for, and when something had been won, not to let the sharks have it. Hemingway defined the Code Hero as a “man who lives correctly, following the ideals of honor, courage and endurance in a world that is sometimes chaotic, often stressful, and always painful.” The Code Hero measures himself by how well he handles the difficult situations that life throws at him. In the end the Code Hero will lose because we are all mortal, but the true measure is how a person faces death. The Code Hero believes in nothing.
And I am not afraid" before jumping down a waterfall to evade being captured again. This is an especially brave thing to do since a member of his hunting tribe was pushed off a cliff into the waters when they were first held captive. The power of his father’s last words are enough for him to risk his life in order to get back to his own son. Zero Wolf (Raoul Trujillo) is the leader of the warriors who invaded the village. At first we think he may have some mercy when he tells one of his men he wants Jaguar Paw alive and tells one of the warriors off for pushing a hostage off a cliff, but as the story progresses he becomes more and more violent.
We are either scared of the unknown (e.g death) or something more powerful than ourselves (e.g lions). For God, there should be no unknown because he knows everything there is to know. For example, he cannot fear the consequences because he knows exactly what will happen. Even if He does know the consequences, God could only be scared of something more powerful than him, otherwise he would know that he could overpower it. The problem with this is there shouldn’t be anything more powerful than God because he is omnipotent.
A man only knows about living. If a person takes a bullet and dies for somebody that he really cares about, like his family, he probably thinks that he took the right decision and that it was worth dying for this important person. Many people, especially men who are in the army often says that he would die for his county and that he would be considered honorable. But like I said, he doesn’t know that until it is to late to change his opinion. From time to time I hear the saying ’‘You have to die in order to protect your life.’’ There is no sense in that what so ever.
After recounting his original story with the animals and the carnivorous island, the Japanese investigators are immediately skeptical and tell Pi right away, “Mr. Patel, we don’t believe your story” (Life of Pi, 99). The investigators cannot be blamed, for Pi tells them a story with a talking tiger and a flesh eating island of algae in the middle of the ocean. Speaking of the island, they tell Pi, “Your island is botanically impossible” (99). After every account, the investigators refute it as unbelievable.
We need to educate ourselves of this fraud and take measures to stop the cruel inbreeding that is being done, and consider the well being of the tigers. The white tiger is not a subspecies of a tiger or an animal that would really be found in the wild, it is a genetic defect (Baskin 1). The last recorded or known wild white tiger was shot in 1958 (Loadstar’s Lair 2). A white tiger would not have been found in snowy areas as many are lead to believe, but actually in a more tropical area since the first white tiger came from a Bengal (Baskin 1). The ancestral white cub whom all of the present white tigers came from was found in 1951 in India and was taken to a zoo where it was bred (Loadstar’s Lair 1).
Ironically, when the elephant begins to terrorize the village, the Burmese turn to Orwell because he is the only one capable of fixing the dilemma. He speaks of being the leader of the people in this situation, “but in reality [he] [is] only an absurd puppet pushed to and fro by the will of [the] yellow faces” (¶ 7). His agency is really just a façade of his submission to the Burmese. Symbolism of Orwell’s gun and the dead Indian also promote the concept of his submission to the Burmese as a façade. Orwell takes out a small gun, hardly large enough to damage an elephant, but due to its powerful sound, he deems it “useful in terrorem” (¶ 3).
Territorial behaviour is a type of innate behaviour, which means it is built in to the Lion and it does not think about what it is doing. For example one type of territorial behaviour would be roaring to intimidate other animals; there are some reasons to why Lions roar which I will reveal in the following essay. African Lions are one of the four big cats in the genus Panthera(Tiger, Lion, Jaguar, and Leopard), and is a member of the Felidae family. They usually live in prides consisting from 15 to 37 lions, each pride must mark out its territory so that it will ensure their safety and to let other prides know to not hunt there. A pride’s territory can range from 15 to 150 square miles depending on the size of the pride.
