Spill her blood” (96). Jack becomes obsessed with hunting and has control over the boys because of their fear of the beast. So when told to kill the pig, they’re loyal and do so.

When he finally got the courage to shoot the lion he hit him once but the lion unfortunately ran into the tall grass in the safari. Even though he had the chance to chase the lion into the grass Macomber decided not to go into the grass to finish the lion off (15). The Next day, Francis is gaining a measure of courage as he engages in a standoff with a charging water buffalo, “get a little broadside and take him in the neck just behind the ear” (hemmingway23). Mrs. Macomber realizes that if Francis continues to prove himself strong and willful and courageous, he might leave her and rid himself forever of her sharp-tongued ridicule.

Click your heels three times and there’s no place like home for young Walt, who made his first drawings while living on a farm much like Dorothy.
Xavier Avila English Comp. Kenderes November 26, 2012 MOUSCHWITZ The Lion King is a Disney “Classic”, meaning some would consider it to be a progressive film, that many children have seen numerous times around the world.
