Oh, if any one saw him be so delicate and fragile, they would make fun of him, and tell jokes about him. Lions are supposed to be big and rough that was not true for Loken. He stayed deep in the forest, so no one would know that Loken protects all the smaller creatures he loved so much. Loken found a good place to curl in to watch the lightning bugs dance. A yellow green blur of lights danced in front of his eyes for hours, until he fell asleep. Morning came there was a beautiful little blue bird sitting on a branch next to Loken, in a lovely sing-song the little bird says, “Good Morning Loken, I love you.” “Roarrrrrr…Love you too.” The little bird chirps, “See love is all around us, it does not matter if you are a lion, a little bird, or a lady bug walking by, we all love each other.” Loken chimes “That’s right as long as I do all things in love, then I know I’m doing it right.” Loken sat along time and thought about this, and how he could put this into his life.

The three texts which are the allegory, "Terrible Things", the poem, "First They Came For the Communists" and the memoir Night share some differences and similarities. These three texts are related during the Second World War in Europe and also about the Holocaust. The WWI (1939-1945) was the bloodiest war in the world's history. The conflict started in Germany led by Adolf Hitler that was the leader of the Nazi party, this man had thoughts in conquering foreign lands, increasing jobs, and exterminating all races that he thought were minorities.

There is a sharp contrast between shame and self-acceptance. One must psychologically determine which they will let dictate their actions. Shame tends to impede one’s own progression of this self-acceptance. This is an apparent feature in Dorothy Allison’s “Trash”, as she navigates between the two interchangeably by giving the reader a taste of her personal life. In this autobiography she allows the reader to delve into the personal and dark times in her life.

After Reuven gets over some feelings of bitterness towards Danny, the two grow to be great friends. There are many difficulties when it comes to friendship, but the beauty of a good friendship is that good friends can power through them.
Maybe he too was distracted by the beauty of the bird that seemed to unite us in a single moment. Even for the years to come, divorce, death, sadness, it is in this very image that we are truly unified as we take a single moment to acknowledge that, in the end, we are
The Creature commences as “benevolent and good” (pg. 69) as he firstly observes the positive aspects of mankind. The positive nature of mankind is emphasized by the deeds of the two younger cottagers who “several times placed food before the old man when they reserved none for themselves.” (pg. 77) The deeds taken by the two cottagers deeply affected the Creature as it demonstrates the human ability of unselfishness and the effect of human kindness. The creature states that “this trait of kindness moved me sensibly”
first noble truth is that life is about suffering. To live, you should suffer. We need to persevere through physical suffering like illness, tiredness, old age and in the long run death and we need to bear mental suffering like loneliness, frustration, fear, shame, disappointment and, rage. We spend our entire lives looking for happiness when in fact; we will never be able to achieve nirvana. How can it be when our incarnation on earth is a punishment, and a test to prove the purity of our souls Now that I have explained the philosophical reason to write about the beast in the jungle.
Friendship has many different impacts on many characters in different ways depending on its presence or absence. Although friendship’s presence and absence are complete opposites, they
Lion, directed by Garth Davis, is a compelling interpretation of a remarkable true story of Saroo Brierley, lost as a child and reunited with his family 25 years later. Throughout Davis explores the unique circumstances under which Saroo is separated and reconnected with his family and his journey along the way. At some points of the film, I was confronted by how Saroo, a five-year-old boy, expertely navigates, with great instinct and genuine innocence, through an extended, yet life threatening ride. To put it in other words, Lion is a journey that grabs you entirely; whether you want it or not, and you are involved in each and every scene. I instantly fell in love with the connection and relationship between Saroo and his older brother
The poem “Bug vs Door” discusses the narrator’s life struggles. The poet, Doc Luben, implicitly compares a human being to a little bug, who fights against bad weather conditions and the big heavy objects that the bug encounters in its path. In my opinion, the difficulties encountered by the insect can be juxtaposed to the troubles in a person’s life. The poet emphasizes the importance of choice in life.
The worst pain in the world is the betrayal of a friend. This can be said about two boys raised in Kabul. Despite coming from different social standings, portraying strikingly different characteristics, and leading contrasting lives, the novel, “The Kite Runner,” written by Khaled Hosseini describes how the relationship between Hassan and Amir still remained unbreakable. Friendship is a strong bond that can occur between seemingly similar individuals or people who contrast each others personalities.

However, at the end, they cannot find out the definition of love even though they talk on the subject for a day long. Raymond Carver in “What We Talk about When We Talk about Love” illustrates the difficulty of defining love by using symbols such as heart, gin, and the sunlight.
