Now Your Turn
SAMPLE DIALOG
A: What did you think about The Lion King?
B: Well… I think this cartoon was pretty good, but not as good as Beauty and the Beast. It’s a killer¹ flick².
A: Really? But I think The Lion King was unbelievably good.
B: I thought it was just OK. Why do you think so?
A: Well, it’s so interesting that the lives of the lions were similar to the lives of human beings.
B: You’re right. The murder in The Lion King was almost the same as the murder in the Shakespearean play Hamlet.
