Elf

Just as the hooded man was pulling the keys from his belt to unhook the sexy little snow elf’s cage the laugh caught his attention and he turned his head to look at the only other elf in the room. Even though he knew she wasn’t much of a threat due to the anti magic collar his blood chilled. The laugh wasn’t cute, nor sexy, nor inviting. It was cold and evil and frankly made his balls pull up between his legs and the hairs on the back of his dwarven ears stand up. He pivoted on his heels and turned to Mariska’s cage and said with as much gruffness and bravado as he could manage, “What a pretty little laugh, you’ll do just fine for the job, yes you will, no doubts.” The hooded man unlocked the cage and reached a big leather clad arm in, grabbing Mariska out by the collar and attaching a length of chain to a ring welded…

“What are you waiting for?” He handed me a bowl. “Dig in.” He sat down across from me. At his side hung a sword so massive it made Cotton’s jade pendant tremble on his chain. Breathing heavily, the elf hoisted it onto the coffee table. “I thought you might need this.” I picked it up and examined the writing on the blue blade. “Thank you, Link.” “You won’t be able to read it. The inscription is written in Elfish, but it basically translates to, ‘The blade of righteousness.’ Underneath that there…

The mind is a dangerous place. Supernatural premises and concrete beliefs lead to an explanation for anything gone wrong. A kidnapping as quick as lightning. A whistle in the woods. Sounds in your house like a fox scuttling about, a hand grabbing you from behind only to see nothing behind you. The age old creature, the elf, has been a pivotal part of history not only in the Irish or European cultures but also in the South American culture as… the Duende. “I’m Joshua Gregory and this is…

People's lives are sculpted by their everyday surroundings, their family and friends, where they live, and even the food that they eat. Every time period has different beliefs, clothing, and governing bodies that give hints as to what the culture would have been like during that time. In the poem "Lanval," Marie De France writes about these differences. Culture is not just the surroundings people live in; it is truly what makes them who they are and what they do in life. The clothing people…

Stories have the power to share a message to their audience or explain the reasons why we personally see or think the things we do. Storytellers through myths or through the creation of fictional stories can show that humanity shares many of the same basic struggles and the curiosities to some of life’s greatest mysteries, such as good or evil. In both the biblical myths in Genesis and the fictional world of Tolkien’s Silmarillion there are parallels can be seen between them as individuals…

“Let’s have no more argument. I have chosen Mr Baggins and that ought to be enough for all of you. If I say he is a Burglar, a Burglar he is, or will be when the time comes. There is a lot more in him than you guess, and a deal more than he has any idea of himself. You may (possibly) all live to thank me yet(19).” Even though all the Dwarfs didn’t believe in Bilbo, Gandalf knew all along that Bilbo could become a hero. Gandalf could see past the scared, orderly, and calm part of Bilbo to the…

Puck is mischievous in many ways. The first example of Puck being mischievous is when he changes Bottom’s head into a head of an ass: “An ass's…

I went to see ‘Elf the Musical Jr.’ on Thursday, December 1, 2016. The tickets were $15 For decent seats and in my opinion, the show plus the seats that we had were not at all worth the $15, that we spent. This musical is not a show that I would recommend to anyone, at anytime. It was that bad. But, to help you understand in my own opinion as to why ‘Elf the Musical Jr.’ was so bad, let me give you some feedback and get into a little more detail in the next few paragraphs. The first reason as…

The film I am basing my essay on is called Elf. The beginning of the movie is set thirty years ago in the 1980’s with the middle and end of the movie in the twenty first century. The beginning of the movie starts out with Santa Claus accidentally bringing a baby back with him to the North Pole. An elf names the baby Buddy and volunteers to raise him as his own. In the North Pole they have different norms and beliefs than anywhere else. They believe that reindeer fly, Santa is real and they can…
