Mixing Fantasy and History in El Laberinto del Fuano “El Laberinto del Fuano” is a film by Guillermo Del Toro that combines fantasy with reality. Set in post-civil war Spain, the film follows the story of Ofelia, a young girl obsessed with fairy stories, who is told by a faun that she is in reality the Princess Moana of the underworld, and must complete three tasks in order to return to her kingdom. The use of fantasy in the film does not trivialise the historical standpoint, but rather…

born on January 2, 1462, and died on April 12, 1522. He created this painting in 1505, at the age of 43, about a decade before his death. He painted “Forest Fire” with an oil panel canvas, similar to most of his paintings at the time. Starting in the left hand corner, I see a bundle of cream, beige, and black birds flying away in a frantic. Then a multi-colored bird sits on the far end branch, almost peacefully, unbothered by the chaos surrounding it. A little below the colorful bird is an ash…
appropriate, what will there be left to read? Not everyone agrees with everything, and not everyone enjoys the same book. Everyone enjoys different things, which can reflect on what they read or watch. But if someone takes away your ability to read a certain book that you really want to read, how would you feel?

with a large opening to the left side. The only throw that could possibly work out was a fore hand “flick” with an s-curve. First, I stepped up to the box and planted my feet in the bottom right corner. I chose to use a 174 gram Katana, a disc that curves fast and smooth because of its light weight, thin shape, and wide lip. Two of my fingers were pressed firmly against the bottom ridge of the disc while my thumb was on top for support. I cross stepped and planted my left foot…
