another door behind it. She realized where this was going. When someone loves Alice in Wonderland as much as Estelle, you tend to know Wonderland like the back of your hand. Instead of opening each individual door, Estelle simply materialized her Gauntlets and smashed through all the doors. She stood up before walking through the cloud of dirt and debris. She found herself in another room. “Curiouser and curiouser.” It seemed that both rooms were identical. Across the room was another door,…

that this wasn't just all a setup? How could we be sure? As I venture closer there it was a red object illuminating the cave walls.

There were some journey men gillie gauntlets. they were good but that's not it we're not done yet. we continued venturing deeper into the cave. The n out of nowhere a giant ice centipede thing jumped out from the ice and attacked my friend. At that moment i was thinking this is it he's…

The book of James is considered wisdom literature, and for good reason. It is believed that James wrote this book between 48-49 A.D. Before being martyred in 44 A.D, James was used by God to spread wisdom and challenge people to follow the Word. As Paul focused on the God perspective, James looks into the perspective of faith through man's eyes. Four of the key themes spoken of in James are the testing of faith, faith and works, joy in trials, and prayer. As strange as it sounds when you first…

and who is a better hero. The Odyssey is about god's. This picture reminded me of a god, such as Odysseus. The dude seems strong like a god. There is a Centaur in the background and that reminds me of Greek gods. The guy in the art is wearing gauntlets on his arms, and his man skirt without a shirt reminded me of a Greek god. In the Odyssey Odysseus is described as being strong and powerful. Even though this picture and the Odyssey are similar they also have differences.…

executions, robberies, and unfaithfulness which weakens Panglosses philosophy. In the last chapter the old women speaks asks “I should like to know which is worse, being raped a hundred times by negro pirates, having a buttocks cut off, running the gauntlet in the Bulgar army, being flogged and hanged in an auto-da-fe, being dissected and rowing in the galleys-experiencing, in a word, all the miseries through which we have passed-or just else sitting here doing nothing?” Ironically the old…

was captured by the Bulgarians and is given a choice "to be beaten thirty-six times by the whole regiment, or receive twelve lead bullets at once in his brain (19)." Being the "hero" he is, Candide chooses to run the gauntlet. Instead of the thirty-six times he was to run the gauntlet, our "hero" made it only two until he pleaded to the Bulgarians to smash in his head (19). Another satire of war included in Candide is the Bulgarians’ burning of the Abarian village "in accordance with the rules…

to where their was “Heavy Armor Fighting.” It sounded intense, and from the clash of metal and the cheers of the audience we knew it was. We looked over the short fence and saw five men, dressed in armor with axes and swords held tightly in their gauntlet-clad hands. They looked like they came out of a movie! One of the men with a large helmet swung his axe. His unlucky victim toppled to the ground dramatically with a shout barely heard over the applause. The men fought until there was three…

was operated by two Frenchmen Goulart and Laplante. I was paid in blankets which proved to be very valuable among the Shawnee tribe. I feel extremely lucky that i didn’t suffer the same fate as the other captives. First they were forced to run the gauntlet, then they were sold off like slaves to the savages. Two of the captives were even burned alive.nevertheless, I did not escape unscaved. My son Georgie and Tommy were taken from me by the chieftain who captured us, who I learned is named…
