Each time someone had died, they died because of the poem. Each time someone did die, one china figure would disappear. “He was staring at the China figures in the centre of the table...I could’ve sworn there were ten of them” (Christie 74).

He stated at one point that “one object of his sub-creative endeavors was the elucidation of truth, and the encouragement of good morals in this real world, by the ancient device of exemplifying them in unfamiliar embodiments, that may tend to bring them home” Finding God…

The name’s Hades. I’m sure you’ve all heard about the horrible Hades who nearly destroyed your tiny land by letting angry gods run rampage. No? I’m the one with the fiery blue hair, shark-like teeth, and some would say “sickly yellow eye.” I’m the villain in the movie Hercules. Yep, there ya go! That’s me. Look, I know people don’t think I’m the most charming of fellas. My patience has always run as thin as a strand of hair. I’ll hear people blabbing above me on the streets how awful it was…

The FellowShip of the Ring The resolution of one this book serves as the rising action of the second.“It 's a dangerous business, Frodo, going out your door. You step onto the road, and if you don 't keep your feet, there 's no knowing where you might be swept off to.” - J.R.R Tolkien Tolkien, a man who shaped so many lives, his story gave so many people meaning, passion and love.

for the role, he’s surely silenced the vast majority of the naysayers by now – even establishing himself as one of the best Bonds of all-time. Thus, it’s not out-of-bounds to declare that the previous three Bond films, each of which featured Daniel Craig as Bond, were pretty epic – especially Casino Royal. However, when you set the bar high, it…

At first, we were all for each other, we were attracted to each other, we were able to disclose with one another, we were similar, and thought we loved one another.

When it comes to the battle between Gandalf the Gray and Albus Dumbledore, it’s a very hard choice for a sci-fi nerd like me to pick a favorite. With so many pros to both I had to debate a lot about which one was the best, but I would have to say that Mr. Gandalf, hands down, is the best and most helping wizard of all time. In the next few paragraphs I will explain to you the key points why I think Gandalf the Gray is the best choice. Character portrayal is a very important part to look at…
