Three black guys, and then there were two?
Now, I want you to switch your mind off for a moment. Is it off yet? Try really really hard- I want you to forget that everything that you know as 'normal' and 'obvious' and reboot your mind to the following: 1)PLOT The time is 2009 .e. this time. The place is here. Nothing about the world has changed at the onset of this story. Everything is as it should be. Now here comes the clincher (non-fantasy fanatics, leave now...still here? Well, if you've watched fantasy masterpieces e.g. ff VI: Advent's children and The Matrix and liked/loved them, then it's o.k.. You can stay. Just don't say I didn't warn you!) there exists a back-up reality to the one we are currently in. Think of it in terms of the new improved version, kinda like Vista to windows 98-if you catch my drift- Its purpose is to replace this reality once it deems the current reality 'outdated'. A couple of centuries ago, this period in time came and it attempted to take over. However, the current reality resisted the action and managed to triumph over its replacement. reality version 1.2 was then left in a weakened state where its influence on matters is only mild at best. Its effect is evidenced in the numerous fantastical stories rampant, yet unproved during that age and time; vampires, mermaids, Atlantis, dragons, Excalibur, mythical lands occupied by fantastical peoples, legendary heroes who would win entire wars and vanquish epic enemies all on their lonesome. You know the type. However the stories remained largely unproved because of its weak and suppressed nature. This is not to say;however, that these do not exist, but that there influence and existence is limited and highly suppressed. It then decides on a different more unorthodox route... It decides to concentrate whatever influence it has left into 7 randomly selected humans whom it deems most compatible-that is via its own twisted criteria-to its ideals and its power to act as its unwitting agents and hasten its ascension to power. By doing so, it effectively converts this individuals into wild cards, governed by none of the rules applicable to either side of reality as they have elements of both in them. It does this partly to limit the current reality's hold on them and theirs, and partly out of amused curiosity to see what becomes of a being once released from all the rules (seeing as it too has rules by which it must abide-although they remain largely unknown through out the series-) The story revolves around the individual tales of these unique people who are suddenly thrust into a world unlike any other-imagined or otherwise...made deeper by the morality of what it is they are supposed to bring about and the consequences involved. Will they destroy everything they care about by bring about such a radically new era? Is it right? Why should they even care? What happens if they take no sides? Will the universe collapse inwards or the world still keep on turning? ...................................................................................................... so dudes and dudettes, what do you think? N/B: I kinda wrote this in a frenzy so just glide over the grammatical errors kay? Thanx!!!! I'll update you on the CHARACTERS later...
HOW'S THIS FOR A PLOT LINE! (Warning: May and DOES contain elements of HIGH FANTASY.)?
I've picked them for my english essay and it needs to up to 3 pages. This is what I typed Through our exploration thus far of the epic tale of Beowulf, we have identified several characters that are foils to one another. One example would be Drake and Josh from the TV show called “Drake & Josh”. These characters have traits and qualities that contrast one another in order to draw out certain characteristics and make them more dynamic. Drake Bell and josh Peck attend to the same school, but they were not aware that their parent was seeing each other. Now not only they attend to the same school, they share a room and the same family. They become stepbrothers when Drake's mother and Josh's father get married. What make them foils as well as their nature as a “good guy” or “bad guy” is that they have different personalities. Josh Nichols is a good guy who always obeys all the rules. He is a super-smart kid, not a risk taker, sweet, nerd and unfortunate. Drake Parker is a bad guy who cares less about school and easily gets girls. He is described as a troublemaker, attractive, lucky, stupid, and lazy. I've remembered watching one of the episodes about I can't remember the episodes. Give 1 or 2 examples when Drake Bell is more cuter than Josh and when Josh Peck is more smarter than him.
How different are Drake Bell and Josh peck? How are they alike?
not that you would, but if you could.... who would you cast to play the characters in the story if the epic tale were to be turned into a movie? any actor, from any time just tell me what time you are thinkin if it's someone past their prime. groovy!
a question for my fellow loyal fans to the Dark Tower series by Stephen King?
he he i'm just messing around.. What do you think of this poem I wrote, it's half done and I want you to try and add something along with it, I want a more broader view.. The air was fragant with the smell of roses... Smelling as sweet as ever in the summer breeze At the touch of the silky and moist softness of a petal to hold onto could easily slip away shattered by it's delicacy and fragility Yet it stands tall, bold and strong The poisen red complexion fills me up with flushes of heated desire Reminescing of you again And i imagined I was yours and you were mine I was fading into you and you were fading into me.. So silly and ridiculous, yound and foolish lovers we were making love on a natural high Remembering the first rose I got from you But now those times are gone but somehow... I can't seem to erase the feelings we had together.. There I find solace I was enthralled by your mysteriouness, Your sparkling eyes, soft lips, your wicked sense of humour.. How foolish to think of being with you forever How could you have lied to me when all those times I thought you were truly mine.. Nothing's the same I found my self reborn on the day I met you, you led the way You've decieved me back then, you've stolen my heart, your snaky lies out of your sensual tongue Is like the rose's thorn cut deep into me, embedded in my skin.. The love we made was like the wild tangled rose bush Your touch against mine surrounded by the nightlights wild, desirous and meltingly delicious, the conversations between us "I can smell my scent on you" that's what you said, as we lay underneath the stars like adam and eve "why" I innocently replied "It makes me hard" I flushed...while you smirked unknowlingly to me "It's all honey and female love. It's a sexy combination. A man could be come addicted" you said 'Really?' I wandered Then you grab my chin roughly by your hands to face you "Yes and It can only be me..." I was too deeply amazed by your actions what i though was real is now left to be a shadow of a memory just a glimspe back in time Beautiful and bittersweetly I've trusted you will all my heart, I hate you! A man so arrogant, so unbending and yet I still can't help adoring you, you're lies kept me content The wind pulls me back to reality You're like the poisen dark rose in my veins, haunting me making me sickenly beg for you again... how was it the short free verse poem? It's like an idea I have for a story setting..But what would you like to add to the poem..? OH Another thing.. I love reading and I love reading what other people write especially on fanfiction, www.fanfiction.net i.e. Harry Potter where you can read all sorts of wicked, sexy and saucy tales of characters with diff couples... But when it comes to me to think of writing, I don't know where to begin to write, I want to write a romantic epic of Hermione and Lucius malfoy, i'm downright dirty but I would like something of a sweet smart brilliant witch with a aristocrat, superior, sexy, wicked, powerful manipulative desirous man...to be honest, i'm more attractive to older men and I am completely head over heals with some which I won't name back to the question, I just can't seem to write or where to start the beginning or picture the scene, maybe cos I never write that much and READ all the time, I can't seem to express my words from my brain to the paper, my heart and soul in it because my mind is always tense and stressing and I'm not able to calm down to take one thing at a time.. So where do I begin..? How do I begin to describe a scene on paper when i know it's in my mind but I just help fidgeting or escaping into my imagination again...how do i start to right smoothly..Thanks ertail, at least that was detailed and truly answered my question..
Look at MOI! look at MOI! Look at moi ?
... if so who are your 3 favourite characters and why? (without giving anything away!) i'm just about to finish 'A Storm of Swords' and have 'A Feast for Crows' sitting on the shelf waiting for me. it's probably the greatest fantasy i have read since 'The Lord of the Rings'... i can't put these books down! also what else can you recommend that are similar to these two epic tales...('A Song of Fire...' and 'The Lord of the Rings)... i imagine they'd be hard to beat! (... i'll give you my 3 favourite characters if i get any answers!)*bonus q*- which actors/actresses would you have play your three favourite characters in the forthcoming TV series? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Song_of_Ice_and_Fire
Has anybody read George R.R. Martin's 'A Song of Fire and Ice' series? (or the story so far...)?
The hero jumped across the boiling lava, slew the ferocious dragon, and saved the princess. This is the complete opposite of a tragic tale; instead, he arrogantly jumped across the lava, thinking it was easy, but slipped and fell to his grave. Although this brief story is not an absolute tragedy, it contains the key element in all tragic stories, hamartia. Hamartia or tragic flaw is a literary term referring to a personality trait of a main character that leads to his or her downfall, which clearly depicted in the stories of Ancient Greek tragedies. Sophocles was a Greek Tragedians, whose work has survived to the present day with 120 or more plays, but only seven have survived in a complete form. In the epic story of 'Oedipus Rex' and 'Antigone', having survived the complete form, Sophocles invoked many tragic themes through the experiences of his characters, in particular Antigone and Oedipus. In the story Antigone and Oedipus, both of the heroes' downfalls were due to their tragic flaws; however, one character's hamartia was more responsible for the resulting downfall. Antigone's tragic flaw of unyielding passion in comparison to Oedipus's flaw of arrogance results in a greater downfall when examining how the tragic problem arises, the handling of the crisis, and from prosperity to adversity. - Is it clear? - Focus? ANY MISTAKES?
Is this a good Intro Essay? Is it Interesting, focused, etc?
;-) Yes, I'm being serious. When it comes to the length of novels, most people prefer to take a stand for either longer or shorter tales. With those long and epic stories, we are able to attach ourselves more with the characters, perhaps, but with the shorter books we can read with faster pacing. There may be no clear victor. But just to give some background information: Long: War & Peace Gravity's Rainbow The Count of Monte Cristo Ulysses Atlas Shrugged Short: Alice in Wonderland The Crying of Lot 49 Siddhartha A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man Anthem So which side do you take? I'm pretty long myself.
Long vs. Short?
