The scene you chose from The Lion King always makes me cry, and it made the chapter more understandable. Someone always has to be at fault for everything, in both stories someone is forced to take the blame and they have to live with that guilt. Good comparison!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6035428384495190662.post-53157667220911687162013-10-17T21:11:17.502-07:002013-10-17T21:11:17.502-07:00Awesome job Natalie!!

I think in most circumstances in books/movies/plays when there is a conflict, every character know whose fault it actually is, but each character tries to take the blame in order to make the person at fault feel better. It's pretty neat how a movie with animated, talking animals can be compared to a book about war.

When bad things happen, it is human nature to blame someone/something. So, I like how you accentuated this in your analysis.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6035428384495190662.post-18749991130177936102013-10-17T19:56:44.018-07:002013-10-17T19:56:44.018-07:00Good job Natalie!

At the same time, both scenarios have very similar situations for the character.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6035428384495190662.post-36163554240206809402013-10-17T17:23:46.345-07:002013-10-17T17:23:46.345-07:00I certainly agree with that it is a very human qua...I certainly agree with that it is a very human quality for one to take the blame. I think this is actually one of the 7 stages of dealing with death, the self-blame. I think you also show very well how Mustafa takes advantage of this and foces Simba to accept the blame.

Guilt is what drives us to do many things and you did an excellent job of showing the aftereffects of guilt in both works. One thing I would add is the differences between the characters of both works, but if you were working under a word limit, then this does not matter.

However, I feel the last paragraph depends person to person. While certainly people exist who will go great lengths before placing the blame on themselves, as you state, I feel like this is a bit of a generalization: a great number of people exist who would likely go great lengths before placing the blame on someone else. In total, the point you make is solid support for your overall comparison.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
