“It would be more accurate to call this a “real time simulation,” Sunset corrected her teammates. “I’ve set up a miniature world where magical simulacrums of all these characters go about their lives, even when we’re not watching. I’ve spend years refining the simulation to this point, and I agree with you, it’s just like watching another episode created by Monarch Pictures - except the flight scenes are real, not animations!” She grimaced. "I've approached people about releasing them, but the Actor's Guild has objected to my using their likenesses without them getting paid…"

    In Medieval Europe, both the Christian Church and pagan ideas dominated religious beliefs throughout European nations. Both of these belief systems are represented in The Mabinogion, a collection of eleven Welsh tales. “Pwyll Lord of Dyved” represents the Medieval Christian Church’s beliefs on salvation, which was an integral part of that era as it caused financial corruption among church leaders, also, “Llud and Llevyls” provides much insight on paganism and is reflected in the Middle Ages in many major tragedies such as the Black Plague.

    Abandoning His True Identity “Unless we base our sense of identity upon the truth of who we are, it is impossible to attain true happiness”-- Brenda Shoshanna In the novel Old School by Tobias Wolff, the narrator conceals his genuine identity to blend in with his peers, who are all from notable, wealthy backgrounds.
