THE LION KING
Part #1:
Reflection the movie, “The Lion King”, and answer the following:
1. How are the themes below demonstrated in the movie? (Four points for each section)
CREATION:
Creation is the beginning where everything is perfect and good is prevailing over evil. So in the movie “The Lion King”, the creation was when Simba was born in a loving society. Also, when Mufasa was still the king and ruled his kingdom with respect and loyalty to his people, and dignity for himself. Additionally, the creation was when the land was green with all the animals living in peace and harmony, and finally when he tells Simba that he will become king one day.
DE-CREATION:
De-creation is when evil defeats goodness. So in the movie “The Lion King”, de-creation started when Scar tempts Simba to go to the elephant graveyard where his father strictly told him not to go. So Simba disobeys his father and goes to the restricted are and brings Nala along. Also de-creation occurs when Scar plans to kill Simba and Mufasa by a stamped but only manages to devour Mufasa. And it occurs when Simba loses his confidence and runs away from home thinking that his father died because of him when scar killed him. So Scar takes over the kingdom and the land becomes lifeless.
RE-CREATION:
Re-creation is when goodness once again over powers the evil and throws it away. So in the movie “The Lion King”, re-creation is shown when the baboon finds out that Simba is still alive and dances for joy. This is also shown when Nala finds Simba and finally after all those years she sees light at the end of the tunnel. Re-creation is also shown when the baboon showed Simba where to find his father and with the courage that his father gave him, Simba returned to his people. Finally, re-creation is shown when Simba defeated Scar and rightfully claimed his throne as King and retrieved the life and greenery of his kingdom.

2. What are the similarities between creation and re-creation?
The similarities between creation and re-creation are that both involve order and restoration in land. Also both involve living in harmony and good prevailing and over powering the evil. So in the movie “The Lion King”, the creation was filled with happiness and a well structured kingdom and also the re-creation was the same way.
3. At what precise moment do you believe the movie changes from:
Creation to De-creation
The movie changes from creation to re-creation when scar tempts child Simba to go to the elephant graveyard, so Simba disobeys his father’s restriction from that place and goes there anyway with the bird and Nala. Over there the three of them started to get attracted by hyenas and Mufasa had to come to his rescue. So at this point the evil (Scar) is staring to overpower and smart the good (Simba).
De-creation to Re-creation
The movie changes for de-creation to re-creation when Nala finds Simba and finally after all those years she sees light at the end of the tunnel.

The last paragraph of this essay is my favorite by far, “…in their beautiful voices out of my childhood. Raymond. ” The author of this story made it so tangible the dislike Raymond Jr. had for his birth name that it felt like a true revelation when the character finally embraced it.

The person who stirs the greatest feeling in Simba for the good is Nala because he loves her a lot and because they were also best friends.

Because he is the one who encouraged him when Simba was feeling down by coming to him in a spiritual form. Also when Mufasa was still alive he gave Simba live lessons and taught him to be a good and royal man.
7. If Simba had to list them, what have been his greatest joys so far in life?
So far in life Simba’s greatest joys would have been when he got a child at the end of the movie. This would have been his greatest joy because Simba could now follow his father’s footsteps and teach his daughter the way of life and Simba could now enter fatherhood. Also because it would be every dad’s greatest joys if they got a child (in most cases).
8. What have been Simba’s greatest sorrows or disappointments?
Simba’s greatest sorrow is when his father was murdered by Scar. This would have been his greatest sorrow because Simba was really close to his dad and he was his ideal. Also any son would cry rivers if their father died so it is usually natural. Additionally Simba thought it was his fault that his father died so that makes him miserable.
