Lions and Lionesses
One fine afternoon the lions and lionesses of the Ari Pride sat perched upon their pride rock. ‘I am starving! Where is my meal?’ yelled Greg the king of the pride, ‘I said hurry or I shall die!’
Celine, one of the lionesses resting on the ledge along with the rest of the pride, stood up and sighed, ‘I shall be back soon my king, I will collect you a divine meal that you will love and be grateful for.’
‘I do not care what you bring me as long as it’s food. That is your job anyway.’ Daniel roared with a frustrated look on his face.
Celine left the rock along with two other lionesses on the hunt for a meal to please their king. Shortly after the small pack left two of the three lionesses returned without a meal in sight. …show more content…

She died for you!’ wept the other lioness. ‘We are leaving, this is all we can handle, goodbye you ungrateful bastard!’
All of the lionesses and cubs got all of their stuff together and left. The lion was left all alone sitting on pride rock watching all of his family leave. He believed that they were going to come back and understand what they had done wrong. He believed that they needed him so as he watched them walk away and leave he stood on pride rock standing proud and satisfied. He thought they would come back.
Days and weeks passed as the lion sat and waited for his family to return. He had tried a couple of times to hunt animals but all he was able to catch was a couple of berries off a bush. Life was lonely as he had nobody to spend time with and nobody to talk to he started to starve. Without his food being handed to him he didn’t know what to do and he was to stubborn too ask for …show more content…

As the lion got closer the other lionesses saw him and gave him a surprised look. ‘You are still alive?’ asked a small cub, ‘And you decided to come to us.’ Sighed the main lioness that had led the others away from the alpha lion. ‘I have realised what I have done wrong, I want you to take me back and feed.’ Cried the lion. ‘Do you really think it is that easy, just to come to use and cry for forgiveness and you probably don’t even know what you have done wrong.’ Roared the lioness, ‘Why did you even come here, you are not

    Looking through the thick pines, Apollo stops and points his tail. His mouth is bearing the ivory-like jaws ready to greet the threat. The stench of death is blowing through the wind. Bruce looks around. First he spots dead carcasses everywhere, then through an opening in the trees all he can see is the gigantic head of a mountain lion mouth dripping with crimson droplets from its fresh kill. The big cat backs away, snapping every branch on the way out. With the adrenaline racing through his veins, Bruce charges through the limbs raising his knife. He gets to where he last saw the beast and then he sees nothing. Not a single track. He kneels down to examine the lions fresh kill. It was a… just then the sensation of knives jabbing into Bruce’s back awakens him from his confused state. The razor sharp claws sink deep into his flesh. Bruce lets out a blood curdling yell as the pads of the enormous feet slide down his back. The only thing Apollo could do to save Bruce is snap at the legs of the mountain lion. As the weight of the giant cat pushing down on Bruce’s back, his legs collapse. The cracking of bone sends shivers up Bruce’s Spine.

    Lions are one of the world’s most famous predators. Their preys ranges from insects to giraffes; but they prefer large animals such as zebras and wildebeast. The lion will cautiously stalk its prey until it is within close range and it will sprint reaching speeds about 50 to 60 km/h. The lion will usually take its prey down by the neck using its huge jaws and razor sharp claws. The female is the hunter and will have the first meat, soon after the male comes to share the meat.

The lions will devour all in their path with arrogant derision; the peacocks will peck and claw at one another as they jockey for position in their petty social circles, all the while pouting and preening, painting feathers on their feathers; and the lambs will go on being slaughtered in their docility, uttering never a scornful word, so that we may have lamb chops with mint jelly at Ruth's Chris with our beautiful, precisely made-up girl friends.

    Although the movie The Lion King is often times viewed as nothing more than a child-based movie, in actuality, it contains a much deeper meaning. It is a movie that not only displays the hardships of maturation, and the perplexities associated with growing, but it is also a movie that deals with the search for one's identity and responsibility. As said by director Julie Taymor, "In addition to being a tale about a boy's personal growth, the `Lion King' dramatizes the ritual of the `Circle of Life'." Throughout The Lion King, Simba must endeavor through the cycle of birth, death, and rebirth to take his place in the circle of life, as king of the pridelands.

  • Film Analysis: The Lion In Winter

    1465 Words  | 3 Pages

    The theatrical film The Lion In Winter stars Peter O’Toole as King Henry II, and Katharine Hepburn as his wife, Queen Eleanor of Aquitaine. Adapted from his stage play of the same title, author James Goldman provides a fictional, but plausible, account of intra-family deceit and political conniving within the large and powerful Angevin Empire, which spanned much of the land that is now Britain, and much of what is now Northeastern France, within the medieval world. Directed and edited by Anthony Harvey, the story, set in the winter of 1183, details the succession crisis faced by the aging King Henry II, as his three surviving sons vie for the crown, and Queen Eleanor plots, both with and against them, to regain her freedom, and become the power behind the throne occupied by her choice of successor. King Philip of France patiently waits, seeking political advantage within the internal fracturing, for the opportunity to destroy the Kingdom that Henry II has worked a lifetime to build.
