...English B Casey Ann Hudson Mrs. Grandson Essay writing (The Lion and the Jewel) In The Lion and Jewel two men go in pursuit of Sidi a) Explain fully why Baroka emerge victory over Lakunle (8m) b) Comment on Soyinka’s use of stage direction or pantomime, discuss the dramatic effects (9m) c) Discuss the similarities between Baroka and Soyinka (8m) In the book of the Lion and Jewel by Soyinka; two men, Baroka and Lakunle go in pursuit of the village beauty Sidi .Soyinka uses stage direction, that is how the characters appear on stage as to how they exit and the pantomime which gives use insight into the past as well as how the chief Baroka emerges victory over the schoolmaster, Lakunle. Throughout the play we see several similarities between the Bale and the author of the book, Soyinka. Lakunle, the schoolmaster is very intrigued with the whole idea of civilization and modernity. He forces his way of civilization on Sidi, the jewel of Ilujinle, the girl he wishes to marry, however Sidi being very sassy and loyal to her culture doesn’t wish to be modern or understanding to anything modern e.g. when Lakunle kisses her she quickly push him away and says she find the thing he does with his mouth disgusting. She often insults and calls him mad; whenever she does this he quickly disrespects her. Example of this is seen in Morning when he refers to her as a Bush girl with a small mind. While Baroka on the other hand, referred to as the cunning fox uses his tricks...

...The Struggle between Genders in The Lion and the Jewel by Wole Soyinka The play – The Lion and the Jewel by Wole Soyinka may not be sexist as some critics have charged but it certainly concerned with gender issues. Masculinity is highly marginalized in comparison to feminism. The comparison between Baroka and Lakunle exemplifies the idea of supreme masculinity. Baroka is termed as an masculine in the Ilunjinle society for his success, many wives and authority while Lakunle is declassed as a masculine for his modernized, divergent way of acting and thinking. Feminism, on the other hand, is labeled as weakness and social exclusion, with Sidi, Sadiku and the favorite wife as examples. The play implements that masculines (males) are above all. The culture of Ilunjinle has beliefs that are termed ‘ideal masculinity.’ Men who are wealthy, strong, sexually potent and successful are considered to be ideal men. Baroka, for example, is considered an ideal man. He is the chief of Ilunjinle which exposes him to a lot of authority. Subjected to the fact that he is 62 and has 63 children with his many wives, he still wants more. He is an exceptional wrestler and is well known in his village. While Lakunle is modernized and is nothing in comparison to Baroka because Baroka has the females subjected to him whereas Lakunle has the females downgrading him and mocking him. He dwells on a modernized way of life and is considered stupid. He thinks the customs...

...far away known as Ethia lived a young prince by the name of Edward Gainsborough. He was rich, smart, and handsome, but unfortunately he was a selfish man. He had a thoroughly spoiled childhood and all he cared about was his material needs and comfort, he never thought of anybody but himself. One night when he went to sleep he had a dream about a treasure in a kingdom far away from Ethia. He knew it contained the most valuable in life though he never got the opportunity to open it, but a terrifying monster guarded it. The next day when Edward woke up he was obsessed with the idea of the treasure, he was sure that it would be loaded with a countless amount of gold and precious jewels, so he gathered the best of his knights and by the next dawn they went of for the quest of their lives. Brave as the lions and strong as the horses on which they rode they left their beloved home Ethia. In hours they rode and by sunset Edward Gainsborough decided it was time to rest. The next day they rode just as far as the day before, but as they rode farther away the landscape became more barren and desolated. Edward knew it was dangerous and it would be for the best to turn around, but he wanted the treasure more than anything – even if it should be with the cost of the lives of his knights. Suddenly one of the knights burst out, “Oh look! A straggling village” then another knight asked, “Why are the houses so small?” Edward couldn’t believe his own eyes. Could it really be true? “Drelmeomland”...

...Peter Nichlas Soetaniman Professor Valery Taylor Fall15 Art 007 1 November 2015 Should Aztec Society be understood as (A) Civilized or (B) Barbaric? 1. Aztec society displayed many attributes that displayed intelligence and sophistication. Yet at the same time, they also portray a rather barbaric behavior that made me question my opinion. However, Del Castillo describes that upon entering the city of Coyoacan, they spotted tower-like buildings (which were their shrines); they met by many Caciques and dignitaries wearing very rich cloaks (Del Castillo, 216). These alone already describes a little of their sophistication. Moving over towards the great Montezuma, he had with him, fine gold jewels of various shapes. In sign of respect, he gave, to each of the four captains, small gold objects and three loads of cloaks of rich feather work; and to the soldiers he gave two loads of cloaks each, with a princely hair. These demonstrate skilled workmanship and knowledge of how to properly provide proper gifts. It is also a sign of politeness and good manners, which even some civilizations do not have with them (De Castillo, 221). Moreover, Cortes and Montezuma exchanged bows, and clasped hands. These simple gestures are a simple signs of sophistication in due to each other’s presence as different ranks. Both showed respect to each other (Del Castillo, 221). At this point in time, Montezuma is about 40 years old, and he was very neat and clean, and took a bath every afternoon....

...Why has Disney been successful for so long? Disney’s long term success lies mainly in the quality and type of product it creates andthe firm’s successful and tactful management of its creative content and resource s. At its coreDisney, unlike many other content providers has the ability to reuse and remake previouscontent. A demonstration of this ability is the current re-release of a 3D version of The Lion King that is current in theater. This ability to reuse content is achieved because Disney can market itschildren’s movies to each new generation of children and to their parents, with whom many of their productions once resonated with. Disney has exploited this aspect of their business byreturning movies to the “Disney Vault” and only having a set number of movies available for purchase at any given time. Furthermore, Disney is a multifaceted business that has developedcontent to appeal to a wide range of ages. Such that once one moves beyond The Lion King theycan engage in content created for an older and more contemporary audience, like Touchstones’films. And when these consumers finally become parents they are once again touched by theDisney magic through their children. Disney’s other businesses such as ABC, and ESPN, allowthem to hone in on specific consumer groups and their parks provide and experience that thewhole family can enjoy. Overall Disney’s success is a result of their ability to engage newaudiences and cycle their audience through various aspects of...

...Question: 1 Abstract This paper examines the polemical issues in the application of literary theories to the field of literature and literary criticism. Out of the several modern approaches to literary criticism as employed by the critics, four literary theories are strategically chosen for analysis in this paper; Formalism, Structuralism, Post-structuralism/Deconstruction and Marxism. This work is objectively carried out by consulting articles, journals and books written on the literary theories. The opportunity of information technology via the internet is also utilized. It is established in the course of writing this paper that literary theories are indispensable tools for literature to achieve its goal of sensitizing its audience towards literary awareness. The application of literary theories to literature, that enhance better and detail insight into text or literary works, would continue to be relevant and make literature more enjoyable and meaningful to its readers and users. Further research and enquiry into the relationship between the two (literature and literary theory) is open and should further be exploited. Keywords: literary theory, literary criticism, Marxism, Formalism, Structuralism, Post-structuralism Introduction Literary criticism is the study, evaluation and interpretation of literature. Modern literary criticism is often informed by literary theory, which is the philosophical discussion of its methods and goals. Though the two activities are closely...
