Changeling

Review of Becoming the Dragon by Alex Sapien While this book was at times very engaging and well written, I cannot even say there were any grammatical errors that I came across, I would rate this book a 2 out of 4 stars. Becoming the Dragon is a story about a young man Andy, and his journey through a portal to another world that has the typical fantasy cast (i.e. elves, gnomes, and of course dragons), and how he is put in several situations that lead to him becoming a dragon. This book feels…

“Dangerous Beans padded over to the rat and sniffed it. The rat sniffed him. They touched paws. The watching changelings were astonished. Dangerous Beans was treating the keekee as an equal.” This shows how everyone is different in the way they act or look, but we are all the same. It takes tremendous charity and care to treat someone as savage as a keekee as if it were one of the changelings; leader is also someone who cares for…

Question 1: In “Interview With Julia Alvarez, 2009 F. Scott Fitzgerald Award Honoree”, interviewer Elizabeth M. Huergo, PhD., an English professor at Montgomery College, discusses briefly the concept of hyphenated space in the word Dominican American with Julia Álvarez. Álvarez states, “Uncomfortable space between is where the stories begin” (00:10:41- 00:13:00:00). Álvarez believes that the idea of being able to speak on behalf of two cultures, two nationalities are what make one a good writer.…

Mechanization, naturalism, and humanitarian reform are also considered modern intellectual developments that paved the way for psychology as a system of ideas (King et al., 2009). Franz Joseph Gall (1758-1828) produced the first map of the mind which became to be known as phrenology. This was the first attempt to map brain functions, although modern brain imaging technology has debunked his theories as being inaccurate and overly simplified. Naturalism asserts that all phenomenon are…

“Life without love is like a tree without blossoms or fruit” (Khalil Gibran). In reality, everyone falls in love and it cannot be prevented or avoided. People believe that love is a wonderful emotion where no one could come in the way and ruin it. In the play “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” love is not portrayed to be magical, but rather the opposite. It is shown that love is not just an emotion that people choose but instead it is something more powerful than that. It could control anyone and they…

In effect, Rochester contradicts himself in this passage. He apologizes for demanding her, tells her he truly loves her, then demands her and objectifies her, making her seem like his property instead of a person with a desire for independence. That this ‘love’ he admits of supposedly having for Jane when they first meet is not ‘true’ love as defined, but is a disordered ‘eros’ based on pleasure in imagination. This identification of Rochester’s ‘love’ to be disordered ‘eros’ can be seen when he…

Upon arriving at the art museum, a giant, electric blue rope greets me at the entrance. The artwork surprises me since I did not expect to see such thing in a small museum. The rope comes out of from between a woman’s tattooed that stick out from a hole in the wall. It continuously extends from there and intertwines through bright white pillars on the ground level. The almost mile-long rope snakes up the building through horizontal columns that separate each story. The installation leads me to…

couples, mortal and otherwise, but their relationships are far from easy. Take Oberon and Titania for example. They may be ethereal beings, but they sure can get as devious as mortals, if not more so. Titania refuses to give Oberon the little changeling boy he requests, so he tells/reminds Puck of a love flower that they found a while back. After Puck returns, Oberon uses this flower on Titania saying, “What thou seest when thou dost wake, do for thy true love take… Wake when some vile thing…

Titania tells Oberon that she plans to say there until she has attended Theseus and Hippolyta’s wedding. Oberon and Titania refuses to give her Indian Changeling to Oberon for use as hit “Page” or “Henchmen,” since the child’s mother was one of Titania’s worshipers. Oberon seeks to punish Titania’s disobedience. He calls Upon Robin “Puck” Goodfellow, his “Shrewd and knavish sprite.” (Act 2, Scene 1, Lines…
