Stone Age

Chapter One They'd always maintained the Balance. The proof was there, in black and white, in tomes long forgotten and archived and further back, etched onto steel discs and chiseled into stone. The Balance and the Blood went hand in hand. A multitude of worlds whirled in their own cosmos, each different from the last like sparks from a fire. There were constants, though - Nod, for one. That ancient land, that other place, was the lynchpin. All souls came to Nod, in one way or another. Mr. Black…

Describe the role the arts, crafts and material play in the Indian Summer, in Van der Nüll's essay and in the excerpt from The Stones of the Abby. The Stones of the Abbey: With its physicality expressed through clay, the site of the St. Clotilda monastery, reflects the inner anxiety and instability of the humans populating the abbey. The monk, and narrator, journaling the Stones of the Abbey, describes how the materials – their imperfection and irregularity – serve a challenge to be overcome,…

racing. Were Bane and his henchmen on the other side searching for someone small enough to slip between the stones. An ice-cold cable wrapped its way down my spine. Or were they waiting for me outside, sitting on the edge of the cliff casting pebbles into the canyon? I backed out from between the rocks and flew through the muddled mineshafts, using the footprints I had scribbled on the stones to negotiate the obstacle course. For a while I lost myself in the mindless frenzy—frantically running…

I watched these men scheme. For three months I felt sharpened spoons digging through me. There were crude papier-mâché heads made of soap, paper, and remnants of haircuts from the barber shop hidden on top of the cellblock. Raincoats and rubber cement were stowed away in a dark corner covered in spider webs. Stolen raincoats were stockpiled with thread to build a makeshift raft. The entire stratagem was so meticulously planned, but I wondered how they would ever survive. It was June 11, 1962.…

ascending stairway. I chose to use Stonehenge as the base design due to the beauty I find from the actual Stonehenge structure and the amazing nature of its formation. I find it extradoinary that people were able to move and place these huge blocks of stone in such a wonderful manner in such a primitive time. The memorial itself as stated before is dedicated to myself. It is not meant to portray any accomplishments from my life, but it is designed for the asetheticly pleasing look. It is just…

beings flew in one direction and the black beings in the other. The Gods above cried with grey tears that turned the blue moon to stone. During the lunar cycle on only one night, the two races battled fiercely with great force. The red, bat-like creatures followed one creature with horns while the black, crow-like creatures were controlled by the Gods. Each phase of the stone moon shone with fog as the wars broke. The horned leader always wandered alone when the battles were not waged. Along the…

none actually issue sufficient details. Some of the proposed theories are liquid stone solvent, exotic explanations, and giant builders. The assumption is that the entire work was beyond the capabilities of ‘primitive’ people. (Lee 1986: 49) The Scribing and Coping Building Technique The scribing and coping building construction technique achieves the required fit in a single operation and demands just lowering one stone to its desired place. The technology is efficient regarding labor. It…

if the idea doesn’t appeal to you” (203). This shows how Cimorene persuaded Kazul to allow her to make Alianora marry the Stone Prince, also this shows the Stone Prince’s chivalry and valor because of how he asked her if she was willing to marry him and not be forced. If Cimorene hadn’t suggested that the Stone Prince had served Kazul, The King of Dragons, Alianora and the Stone Prince wouldn’t have had a happy ever…

they get a glimpse into someone else’s lives and get an idea of their own life. The Miller’s neighbors, the Stones, shine a light on the Miller’s life that they did not want to see. Throughout “Neighbors,” Carver uses The Stone’s life and apartment to help the Millers escape their uneventful life and learn more about themselves while changing. Before the Millers house-sit for the Stones, they both live…

The reason for this would have been the same as those in migratory societies, practicality. Although the women were no longer restrained by the need to carry infants long distances, and the presence of a crying child would not have had the same effect on domesticated animals as on the hunted prey, they still had to be concerned about the safety of the toddler. Any task taking place while caring for children also had to be interruptible. Men and women had to spend the majority of their time…
