...Story of a Farm Boy Roairna Drakuthaili Elrondion was originally just Roairna. He never needed to use his last name, his parents never said anything about it. A boy, naturally compatible with the wolves and able to stray them from the village and treat them as people. He cared for all animals, normally being the one to take care of the horses and chicks about their home. As unmentioned as he was, he did much to influence the lives of the Heroes that protected the Ring and saved Middle Earth. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Roa was cheerfully unaware of a darkness approaching, of an evil that was to be unstopped for long years to come. "Mama! Papa! I'm going to get more feed for the chickens!" He called, his hyper eight-year-old self smiling happily. "Alright, Roa. Don't get so much like last time! Just enough for now sweetheart." His mother called from inside as she cooked. "The wagon's down, Roairna. You'll have to walk. Be wary of the roads, my boy." His father sighed, leaning on his staff that he used as a walking stick. "Yes mama, okay papa! I'll be back quick!" He chirped as he gave his dad a hug and ran off. Unknown to him, things weren't going to stay cheerful... He continued happily down the road, two of his wolf companions bounding after him obediently with happy yips and barks. They remained blissfully oblivious until a terrifying screech startled them. Roa screamed, ducking into a bush just as a Nazgul came riding down the road. It hissed, the...

...performance for stage and screen | Workshop Portfolio | Arts in the Community | | Sarah Milner | “Theatre is a form of knowledge; it should and can also be a means of transforming society. Theatre can help us build our future, rather than just waiting for it.” (Boal, 1992, p. 31) For this module in Arts in the Community I wanted to work with children and after talking to Alice I discovered that she did too, we thought that it would be a good idea to find a placement together. We wanted our workshop to be influential and build on children's skills. Initially the idea was for our placement to be with disabled children as Alice and I wanted to create a workshop that centred on building their self-esteem, the project plan can be found in the Appendix (Figure 1). We looked for different places that would be suitable and thought of ideas for activities in our workshop. After discussing our plans we thought that it would be too difficult for us to be able to come up with a suitable workshop for disabled children as neither of us has had experience dealing with disabled people in the past. Straight away our idea changed to working with young children in either a school or drama club. We thought this would be easier for us to be able to design a suitable workshop, and becoming a teacher is a path that I’m thinking of following and this would give me a bigger insight. Finding a placement was very difficult; we came up with the idea of doing a Christmas themed workshop with...

...History and story of KaruMagic: This land has a rich heritage of magical lore, of a kind found nowhere else. Its annals describe how long ago Gods, heroes and lovers lived out their highest destinies on this soil. The first inhabitants of this particular land were those of myths and legends who possessed many magical powers and abilities in many different forms. Among them were Fairies, Pixies, Dryads, Nymphs, Brownies, Sprites, Whisps, Elves, Dwarfs, Hobbits, Drow, Dark Elf, Gobblins, Trolls, Orcs, Mermaid, Mermen, water nymphs, Dragons, Drakes, Gryphons, Centaur, Fawns, Satyrs, Unicorns, Anthromorphs and many animals; and a few humans (although these beings are rare), who were known as the Galens. Being fairly peaceful and living in harmony between themselves (after they had all combined forces to rid their lands of the dreaded Dark Force that had plagued them for decades with the Dark Wars) and with nature as they followed the Druidic laws and lifestyles; this blend of creatures enjoyed their peaceful existence until they were invaded by a people known as the Celts. The Galen after many battles fell under the control of the Celts, eventually the land started to bloom. Not with impressive buildings, nor by suppressing of other cultures, like the Greek, the Persians and the Romans did, but by creating a blended society based on the Brehon Law; because the Celts after battling the Galen races for so long had become familiar with the history and learned to appreciate...

...Shadow Prowler by Alexey Pehov I enjoyed Alexey Pehov’s Shadow Prowler very much, but I would not recommend it for everyone. I have very specific, but personal reasons why I liked it so much. Those personal tastes may not fall in line for everyone. I’ll do my best to explain why so that you dear reader, can decide whether or not this is a book for you. First let me tell you a little about how the book is written. Its original author is Russian and therefore the original printing is in Russian. It was however beautifully translated by Andrew Bloomfield (he also did the Nightwatch series). I mention the translation because I feel it did play a role in some of the quirkiness in the descriptions and the names of things in Shadow Prowler. Shadow Prowler follows a master thief by the name of Shadow Harold. He lives his life from contract to contract in the capital city of Avendoom . The story truly starts when Harold takes a contract of the highest importance (somewhat unwillingly). The greatest of thieves has been tasked with obtaining an item from an impossible location. A nameless wizard is building a force just beyond a weakening magical barrier. The item Harold must retrieve is the one thing that may be able to keep the evil army at bay. He is a joined on the journey by a coalition of races who deemed it in their best interest to assist him in the journey. I found each character charming, and they all hinted at more depth to come in later books. Pehov took classical races...

...never seen him like this. He always had a sense of strength, of determination to him before but now, it was gone. When she looked at him, she could see the weariness, the resignation... He kept telling her that it was alright, that his faith was still strong but deep down, she was worried sick. It was dead obvious that all was not okay, that he doubted the cause just as she now did. A year had passed since his awakening and nothing had changed. All of her research, all of the sacrifices, all of his battles... it had changed nothing. When Copy-X died, everyone expected things to calm down but the X Guardians had resumed the crusade as if nothing had happened, taking things into their hands. Then when Omega had been defeated and the Dark Elf neutralized, Dr Weil was to become nothing but a bad memory, an impotent madman reduced to curse the world with his tongue. But he had slithered his way back into Neo Arcadia as if he still owned the place. And now, with the X Guardians defeated as well, Dr Weil took command and everything returned to the same situation they were at before she had awakened Zero in the first place. Had it been worth it? And now, they were fighting again to prevent Dr Weil from yet again ruining everything he could touch and yet again, sacrifices had been made, sacrifices that weighted heavily on everyone. Craft... he had wished to protect those he lived, to change the world and put an end to an era of misery. In the end, he had been an instrument of misery...

...Austin Grooms Mrs.Abigial Hickman Essay Prompt One English 111 YD5 Santaland Diares is as essay wrote by David Sedaris. It is a humorous account of Sedaris stint working as a Christmas elf in Sanaland at Macy’s Department store. Sedaris reads the essay on a National Public Radio’s Morning on December 23, 1992. Christmas time can be a very stressful time of the year. David uses evidence, ethos, logos and pathos to argue that Christmas may not be as enjoyable as it appears. David uses evidence to support that Christmas may not be as enjoyable as it appears. He talks about how stressful and how it is a difficult time if the year. Sedaris said, “Today, I witnessed fistfights and vomiting and magnificent tantrums.”(Paragraph 7). This example shows how Christmas is not always fun. David states, “Tonight I saw a women slap and shake her crying child. She yelled: Rachel, get on the man’s lap and smile or I’ll give you something to cry about.”(Paragraph 22 ). This show support that Christmas may not always be filled with fun and excitement. The picture captured the smiling child on Santa lap with elves and it appeared like nothing was wrong. But in reality the child was just crying right before the picture was taken. All of these examples show that even though the pictures looked perfect and sweet doesn’t mean the child was an angle before or after the picture was taken. David Sedaris uses ethos in Santaland Diaries . David was born on December 26, 1956 in Binghamton, New...
