Themes Of Arjie

Nowadays, religion is tied into pop culture from our childhood have this connection that we don’t recognize until later on in life. The Lion King is one film that is associated with religious themes due to it having a story that is similar to some texts. It is a Walt Disney animated film that incorporates a community of animals in a kingdom that is ruled by a lion king named Mufasa. Mufasa has a son named Simba and the story revolves around his adolescent growth and how he is supposed to be next in line to become the future king. The idea of the “Circle of Life” ties into several religions but most specifically it goes hand in hand with Christianity. A ritual is performed on him by Rafiki as a newborn and he is presented to the kingdom with a new life. This aspect is similar to how Christians perform baptism and the significance of having new life brought onto earth. Also the kingdom crowding around this ceremony highlights the similarities even bigger due to how many people gather for the religious ceremonies.

“History is written by the victors.” These words, spoken by Winston Churchill, have traditionally been applied to the surviving narratives of thriving empires and nations burying those of the losers.

Each of the mentioned Education systems has encountered controversies surrounding their published textbooks.

Amir and his father’s weak relationship in Afghanistan changes when Amir finally accomplishes something Baba can be proud about, spreading light of a possible close relationship in the future. At the beginning of the novel, Baba is talking with his friend, Rahim Khan, about his worries for Amir not standing up for himself, when he is being bullied. Khan responds to Baba saying, ““Children aren’t coloring books. You don’t get to fill them in with your favorite colors””(Hosseini 21). This quote illustrates the difficult relationship Amir and his father have with each other because Baba wants to mold him into the ‘perfect’ son, but Amir does not find appreciation in the same things as Baba, causing this ‘mold’ to be ruined. Amir and Baba being polar opposites causes them to naturally separate from each other because Baba likes building luxury to fit his ego, but Amir values the smaller gestures people do in life. Once Amir finally does something that makes Baba proud and improves ‘their’ ego, Baba starts to appreciate Amir more and tries to do more things with him. This is depicted when Hosseini writes, “Baba and I were finally friends” (Hosseini 85). Although Amir thinks they are close, they are not as close as they could be because Baba usually invites friends and family to join them on their outings. Also, when they are alone it is very awkward for the two of them because they do not know each other very well. The reason Amir feels like he is gaining his father’s acceptance is because he is taking him places, rather than ignoring his existence completely, which is a significant step compared to their relationship before. This step in their relationship illustrates they have a chance at becoming even closer in the future.

The genre I chose to review for the month of October was an American Movie, The Revenant. Directed by Alejandro González Iñárritu this film is set in 1823 in Montana and South Dakota and the main character is Hugh Glass played by Leonardo DiCaprio.

The movie revolves around his struggles as a father and his comeback after being attacked by a bear and almost dying, losing his son, and being left behind by his own men. In the end a Native American chief kills the man who killed Glass’s son. The last scene show Glass falling to his knees and seeing a vision of his dead wife walking into the light and then Glass’s eyes fill up with tears. I decided to review

What do you think of when you hear the word "wise?" You might think of someone like Yoda from "Star Wars," or just anyone that's old in general. Although Yoda and older people are both correct answers, if you thought of someone that possesses a lot of knowledge and experience, you are in fact correct. Wisdom is something that people of old age often have because they've been through so many situations in life. The stories "The Old Grandfather and His Little Grandson" and "The Wise Old Woman" both include characters that show wisdom throughout their stories. Both stories also have universal themes. A universal theme is a theme that is shared in multiple stories and can be applied to our lives everyday. The universal theme expressed in both of the stories is that you should treat everyone they way that you would like to be treated. Although the two stories include the same theme, they both present it in different ways.

Bravery and putting others before yourself are the themes of “Rikki Tikki Tavi.”  Rikki was a humble and selfless mongoose. His brave actions helped others in the garden. There are several situations in this story  that proves this theme.

Another theme presented throughout the novel is traditions and rituals. For Ashoke and Ashima, a family life is inherited straight from their background in India, where entire families partake the same home for generations, are strongly invested in one another’s lives, and strengthen their connection to entirety through a complete series of traditions and rituals. The family is a consistent force, something to be relied on, and which simply clarify's one’s identity. For Gogol and Sonia, however, they grow up outside of India, a family becomes a symbol of those things that remain foreign to their ordinary lives in the U.S, something that removes their individuality apart from what they are learning in school and from American culture.

I have always been told that “coaches make great teachers”, I never questioned this statement until I desired to be a teacher. During my hire as an assistant coach at RCC I also strive to become a teacher. I took up the opportunity to be a guest speaker and teachers aid for a sport psycolohy class. After every class the teacher commented on how I did, the good and bad. This helped me tremendously. This experience showed me that all my experience as a coach, as a girls bible study leader, and as a student myself gave me all the tools I needed to be a good teacher. Though this I found a new love and passion to teach.
