More on what I had typed on Friday is that Mufasa and Simba are related more than just one way. They are father and son so that is one way they are related. Both Mufasa and Simba look almost exactly alike when they are adults and mature lions. They are related in a way they both were bound to become kings. Another way is that they were both probably the same when they were cubs, wanting to be king, trying to show off and acting bigger than everybody else. More on my second question is what is the main idea of the lion king. The lion king shows how both women and men can be just as equally strong as the other one. More on my third question. My third question was what are the strengths and weaknesses of scar. More on that is scar is strong in his mindset and thinking abilities and he is very smart but his weaknesses are that he can't do what he wants on his own and he plays people against each other. I have read other classmates and here are my reactions. I liked what Ally put as what she thinks the main idea of the movie is and she sounds it is to show how characters change over time and how much looking up so someone has an impact on your life. Another one is that I like Wyatt’s answer to how are Nala and Mufasa are alike and how they both are very smart and they both help Simba on his way through life and he said that Simba and Nala should rule together. I like how he is saying that females should be able to rule and not exclude them from their gender. One more reaction to classmates is that I like what Colten said about possible solutions to get Scar out of power. I like how he said the lionesses could have taken Scar down but the hyenas are what gave scar his power. His comment shows that Scar was too weak to protect himself and fight for himself that he needed other people to do it for him. One stem question that I didn't type on is which one is the best leader and why. My answer to that question is that I think Nala is the best leader. The reason I think that she would be the best leader is that she has proven many times in the movie that she is stronger than Simba by pinning him down many times when they are cubs and when they meet again and they fight. Another reason why I think Nala would be the best leader is that she is smarter than Simba and she knows what is right and wrong and she knows how to rule.

In what ways are Rafiki related to Sarabi? In the ways that they are related is that they have a great friendly relationship and how they bond together as characters in the movie. Also how they are related in this movie is how Rafiki helped Sarabi and their family to help fight scar. Also that is a big part of Sarabi and Rafiki and their family to help Simba to fight scar because he couldn’t do it on his own. And just like what this movie is about how they couldn’t do it on their own. It is a big help for them to be related to this movie. I liked what Wyatt has to say about what there are possible solutions for having a selfish king liked how he described it and that is not a good thing to have a selfish king because then they think they can have everything handed down to them and think they should have the throne. Also, they do not learn anything from a selfish king they are going to have to go out and learn it on their own because the king is too selfish to teach them and he is only worried about himself. I think how Lexy described how are Mufasa and Simba are like. Because they are both strong and have to rule on ride rock and she had a good point on how they both came from royal families and strong families to rule the rock which you need to be like that in order to rule what you want to rule. I like how adonis described the main idea of this movie because this movie is about the circle of life and how they are all related in this movie in some type of way and how gender is a big part in this movie how the women should have more power and the men shouldn’t they showed this in the movie a lot like when Nala found Simba in that scene because Nala fought him and destroyed him and ended on top. Do you agree or disagree with this statement: Do you think that Nala should be king in this movie? I agree with this statement because there are a lot of good examples in this movie on how Nala should be king like for instinct on how Nala went to go find Simba in the forest and she found him and he didn’t know who she was so they fought and Nala was stronger and better and more outgoing than Simba was because she was on her own trying to get their culture back. Also because Simba became lazy and didn’t worry about anything when he meant this new friends and Nala was trying to get it through his head that they need him back and everyone thought that he died.
Questions to do- 2,5,7,10,11
2) What is the main idea of the movie “Lion King”- I think that the main idea of Lion King is to teach a lesson about family and goodwill of yourself, It teaches you to think about everything that is going on in your life and learn from it. Like how Simba learned throughout the movie to not be selfish and be more caring and thankful. Because he had to go through many obstacles to get him in position to be king.
5) Compare Scar and Mufasa with regard to responsibility. When it comes to Scar and Mufasa, it is a weird and bumpy road due to the fact of how they were when they were kids. I think Mufasa was the responsible and good one and Scar was the kid that didn't care and didn't want anything to do with anyone since he had the idea that he would get the throne. And with the evidence of how each one rules pride rock, it just shows you which one is the responsible one to take care of their home.
7)How does the theme tie in with what we have learned before? I think that goes with the whole feminist thing that we have talked about where mostly every time something comes up with power, usually there is a man in power which doesn't really matter to me but i guess a lot of people will whine about it cause “its not fair” which is dumb, mainly cause women have had chances to be elected for instance president, its not like we aren't allowing them to run, they just don't get elected due to the fact that there are better options in the running.
11) What do you still not understand? I pretty much understand everything and plus its a good movie!
As Meinert said, for weaknesses of Simba, he says that one of them is when Simba is with Nala, which I would disagree due to the fact that every time that they are together, Simba tries to either impress or look tough. Which is the movie shows that this has actually worked, like when Simba scratched the hyenas when they were trying to kill Nala and Simba and also when they come back to Pride Rock and fight for their home, Simba was super brave and tough and that also was with Nala, so what I think is that Nala is Simba's lucky charm which keeps him safe and makes him want to fight hard, since he knows what he is fighting for. Because knowing that you need to fight for your home and your family, you will definitely be able to do things that you didn't know you could. Love does that to you.
-Haas
riley Schroeder
Haas asked how are nala and mufasa alike? They are both strong lions and smart. They care about who is the next air to the throne. I agree with what she has that the both look after simba and help him along the way. Haas again is how are scar and mufasa related i disagree with this one because she thinks that they have the same mother. They would have the same father but not the same mother. And i don't think it mattered if mufasa was the good child it was who was first born there is no rewards. I disagree with haas with who was the best fit to be king because nola was the best fit that is what we kept saying in class. Nola was stronger and smarter then simba there for she should be the king but she just didn't take the throne. I have to disagree with haas again they just shouldn't have a king then there wouldn't be a problem. I agree with hood that nola did do all that stuff but that just shows that they are more different then the same. I disagree with hood on some thing one is that the female lions needed simba they didn't need him they could have taken out scar by them selfs they did it while simba was fighting scar also simba was more there to rally them no one knows why then didn't do that them selfs. I have to disagree with hood on how rafiki is related to mufasa i think he is only there to do the ceremonies and nothing else. Hood if you thought you killed your dad and left home after years then a friend tells you that there is a problem at home but you will still be wanted for his murder. I agree with lapez that simba and scar are alike they both wanted power and they just didnt want to wait for it to be handed to them. The difference is that scar was willing to kill for the power and let it corrupt his head. I agree with lopez on the strengths and weakness simba is brave but he is physically and mentaly weak. Mentaly weak by not going back to pride rock when he is found by nalo and physically weak because he keeps get beaten by nola. I agree with lopez that it shows how mean dominate over woman and the lions are the upper class. I disagree with meinert that the whole movie is about the circle of life i think it is about just some kid that is scared of facing his past. Okay the end.

Anderson
I’m going to be expanding on what is the main idea of the movie or what is the main focus. In my opinion, the main idea is that not everything is going to be easy even you are handed the throne. In the movie, it displays that Simba wishes to be king but for him to be king his father has to die, so he is really wishing for his father to die. Scar is Simba’s uncle and he also really wants to be king but he is not strong enough to take the throne but he is smart enough to figure out how to become king without using brute force. Scar makes it seem that Simba killed Mufassa and then tells Simba to run away and never return. That is how Scar becomes king. Then the movie shows that you should not run away from what you are truly meant to do and Simba is supposed to be king and Rakiki and Nala help him realize that and he goes back and takes over the throne.
Now im going to go over my classmate’s responses. I like Wyatt’s response to the Question how are Nala and Mufassa alike? He talks about how they are both very wise and strong-willed. He also talks about how they both help Simba to be the best king that he could possibly be. Another response I like is Ariah’s response to why do you think Scar is against Simba and Mufassa? She said that scar is jealous that he cant be king which I totally agree with. Which is why scar kills Mufassa and blames it on Simba and makes him run away and tells everyone that he is dead. Scar is super smart and that is how he figures out that it is a good time to become king when Mufassa has a newborn kid and he is vulnerable. In the end, I still think that Nala should be king because she is smart and strong just like Mufassa was, and she was the same age as Simba. Simba at the end of the movie matures very fast when he realizes the damage that scar did to his homeland.
Do I agree or disagree with the statement: I just can’t wait to be king? I understand what he is talking about because he is a kid and doesn’t understand what he is truly wishing for. He is truly wishing for his father to be dead but he is a kid and he sees only all the cool stuff that the king gets to do and he just can’t wait for that to happen for him. So I agree and disagree with the statement.
What i wrote on friday was about how simba was a little kid who just wanted power for himself say how he would rule the pride and that but when his father died he change he left the pride
I would agree with wyatt about what he said about how nala and mufasa are they same the said that nal and mufasa are there to help simba to be a great king and lion they both told simba to remember who he is and tell him to go back to the pride
I would agree with wyatt abot how simba would be the great king simba he said that simba been placed and dealt with more thing then the older king si think he says that simba has more exprencest in the out word
I would agree with lopez with how pumba and timon are loyal to simba because they did not have to go with simba back to the pride they could have stayed away they know that there would be lions there and could have died there but they wanted to be loyal to there good friend simba
I would agree with is Meinert he said the strength and weakness of simba he said that simba he is not strong at all he would always get top by nala but his strength is that he would learn from his mistake and use them for his advantage for himself
I would agree with hood about how the water drought he said that pride didn't get any water because there was not a true heir to the throne so the god did not let pride get any water or rain
I still don't understand how simba got so big by just eating insect cause i would think lion would need meat to get big and strong but i don't see how eating insects help him get big and another thing I don't get is how did scar and the hyena became friend i thought that hyena and lions don't like each other but the hyena is help scar to be king of the pride.
I think nala is the best because she is one of the lion who go hunting for food and she can pinned down simba who is a king she has so much pride and she is strong and she cares about her pack of lions
8. Which one is the best King, and why? Mufassa was the best kind that animals could have. He made that place a happy place for the good animals and bad animals or the ones that do not deserve that place to be there they were where they were supposed to be. Everyone in his kingdom had food and a good place to be in and Mufassa made that possible and God’s too. The God’s or passed kings are the ones that send the water and if they have water they pray animals have food and they pray have food also they will have food to eat and they will be able to live no as scar was a kind that did not even rain and all pray want to others places to go looking for food. Mufassa wasn’t perfect because no one is perfect but they had what they needed and that enough for them and all that live there.
9. What are some possible solutions to the problem of dryness? Well, the solution to the movies was pretty simple. Simba needed to go back to his hometown and take over and defeat scar that has taken his kingdom. Apparently in the movie that was the solution but the hard things make Simba go back there because scar scared him, blame him for the death of his dad.
10. Do you agree or disagree with this statement: the life cycle? Yes, I agree with it. Because that is the way life should be in all organisms that is how God made us ones over others in the food chain, why should we challenge that.
11. What do you still not understand why didn't girls take the king’s place? Disney could give a chance to the woman to take over the scar kingdom and see if the gods would help them with the rain and all the help that they needed. After so many years in the past when the woman has been traded as less than the man we still watching this kind of stuff in the movies, an example of this can be this movie the lion king.
I read Bruce’s article I like it. She has a very going point in her article and she explained every point that she needed to in my opinion she did a pretty good job. Some questions that I have about her article are why she didn’t talk about the communist symbol we talked about that and I want to know what are her thoughts about that if she thinks the creators of Lion King put that there on purpose to see if people can see the message there. Bruce put a good effort into blog task and I can tell for the way that she made that article and it is pretty understandable.
Ariah Helseth
I like what Bruce said about the main idea showing how the characters change over time and how they look up to their parents. I agree with what Wyatt said about that a king should know what it is like to have nothing, so they can learn to not take everything for granted. What do you think causes Simba to go to the elephant graveyard? The thing that causes Simba to go to the elephant graveyard is he wanted to show and prove that he is brave and he wanted to be brave and be just like his dad. In what way is Scar related to Simba? They are related because Scar is Simba's uncle and Simba is Scar’s nephew. What is the main idea of the movie the Lion King? To add to what I said about the main idea in my first blog, the main idea is also showing when you make mistakes you must learn from these mistakes and you must not run from them because if you run away from them you will not move on and you will not learn to let that mistake go. This movie can help people to learn from their mistakes and how to move on with doing those mistakes. Do you agree or disagree with this statement: Simba is the rightful king of pride rock than Scar because Simba cares about the Circle of life and the kingdom? Yes, I agree with this statement because Simba is the rightful king because his dad was king and he was born into a royal family. Also, he should be king because he cares about his family, pride rock, his kingdom and the circle of life and he can take care of it better than Scar could because he does not care about the kingdom or the circle of life, he just cares about himself and nothing else. I agree with what Hood said about Rafiki being related to Mufasa. I think Rafiki is a good adviser for Simba and Mufasa and I think Rafiki is a good helper and I think Rafiki is good at helping the lions and the king and the pride lands. I agree with what Riley said about Nala supporting Simba through a lot of things and that Nala was strong and that she always beat Simba in matches. What do you think causes Simba to give up so easily? I think what makes Simba to give so easily at first is because he thought it was his fault that his dad died and he did not feel good about himself and that he thinks that he is not the king of pride rock.
How are Mufasa and Scar are not that much alike but some of their reactions towards some things are a little similar. Mufasa and Scar are not that much alike but the only way that I think but the difference is that Mufasa just wants to help grow the kingdom and help get enough food and water. I like what hood said about scar being so jealous that when Simba gets big he will definitely take his father spot and become the king but that's not what scar wants. scar plans to kill Mufasa and blame it on Simba so that no one would take the place of the king. The only way scar could become a king is that if he kills Mufasa and blames it on Simba so that no one would take the place of the king. The only way scar could become a king is that if he kills Mufasa and tells Simba to run away from their kingdom and never come back. What I think of what causes the earth that Simba's tribe lives are that the king that was ruling the tribe (Scar) wasn' the right one so the earth was all dry out and there was nothing to eat or drink. Nala went out to look for Simba so that the earth can become the same and they would get enough water and enough food. Simba didn't agree with the idea first because he was a little scared of his uncle but Nala convinced him alot that he he is the one that could save the place and all the people. Finally, he decided to fight scar and get the throne to rule the kingdom. Simba finally exposes his uncle and tells all the others that he wasn't the one that killed Mufasa and it was his own borther scar. Scar told Simba that the lion are the ones that are bad and turning him evil.
I think that the main idea of this film is to show that people or characters change over time.I think that this show really judged by their gender. It kinda showed that males are stronger than women and that it’s how people think these days. I think that is a very sad thing to have in a kids movie. I don’t think that we should have kids learning how the world is today and how some days it could be really sad and this earth isn’t perfect it's exposing the kids minds at such a young age. I think this movie helps a lot with the class subject we are on. I think that it ties into what we are learning in the class for narratology. This movie teaches how you should never disobey your parents. When the girl went against her father and went to the other place that she knew she shouldn’t have gone to she got in trouble or had to have a side conversation with her father. It does teach them that your parents have rules for a reason and that you should always follow them. Nala could've had a good reason to go back but I feel as if she should have at least told her father before she did it for safety reasons. He tried to make two animals that were opposite from each other to try to work together when he already knew that it would not workout. The prey definitely needs more food and grass is not going to do the work the whole time. I think they should start growing some plants or something other than eating grass I think it would truly help them. Every Time they would meet each other her father would put her to a meaning. I think that her father acted stronger than he actually is. I understand he had powers but I don’t think its right to raise your daughter and say that they are better than everyone else and stuff when the kid should learn on her own. I also think it is wrong that the father is trying to choose her friends when he should let her be and make her own decison.
Meinert
I just found out that the movie wasn’t what I had expected now that I know these things now then when I watched it by myself this is one of my favorite movies. Lexi has some good points like How she talks about scar on how he is a bad guy. Timone and scar are alike because Timon controls Pumba in a way that scar does to Simba to go into the elephant graveyard. Simba feels left out from the pride and because he thinks he killed his father and he has all of the regrets and doesn't believe Nala to come back to the pride land rock. Simba wants revenge on scar because of his father's death and that Simba can become king of pride rock with Nala and start their own family.

More on what I typed on Friday Scar was never meant to be king because he was never as strong as Mufasa and he wasn’t as brave as Mufasa either and for you to be a good king he needs to be brave and strong not just being smart that is also why Nala should be king, not Simba because Nala is stronger and smarter than Simba you can tell by just watching the movie that Nala has all of the perks to make a good king. When Scar became king he became a tyrant, dictator he didn’t care about what anybody else wanted to say only his decision mattered and he never keeps his promises. His dream was to take over the kingdom and that’s what he did because he used mind games on Simba to drive him away and make him feel like he is worthless and brought him down to nothing. That is another reason why I think Simba shouldn’t be king because futures kings shouldn’t run away from everything they face it that's how you overcome the obstacles that are in front of you that is a true king and kings let go of the past Simba couldn’t let go of the past. I agree with what Hunter said about Simba and Nala if Simba gets help from Nala he can be a great king and have great leadership skills and become what he was always meant to be.
5. Compare _Mufasa and __Scar with regard to _Simba.
When I compare Mufasa and Scar with regard to Simba is Mufasa and Scar both did there best to have an impact on Simba’s childhood and Scar had the most impacted when he tricked Simba into going down where the stampede of animals run across which cost Mufasa his life and permanently damaged Simba for a long time. Then when he got older and needed some guidance he realized it wasn’t his fault it was Scar’s because Scar would do anything to become king and that is what he did he tried everything to become king but in the end, didn’t work because his followers turned on him and became his enemies
8. Which one is the best __King, and why?
I think Mufasa is the best king because he had a really good childhood, he was trained and he got the confidence, he also got the leadership skills from his parents, he was raised in a healthy family that liked him and wanted him around unlike Scar’s childhood he was raised in an abusive family that probably didn’t want him around.
