Eye of the Gods: A Mindlord Novel by Igor Swann.
In a brief description of the most important events in earth’s recent history, the following facts were uncovered. Mythological gods are a reality, although they are allegedly extinct, and will most certainly be extinct if they do not shut-the-hell-up. Anal probing weather balloon pilots do not probe much, but they do participate in the occasional abduction. They subsequently apologized and promised not to do it again.
More significantly, historian had to reclassify elves, dwarves, mages, and size-changing blue monkeys under non-fiction, and blondes under ‘highly volatile, keep away from sharp objects if you know what is good for you.’
Nevertheless, in another epic tale, Angel and friends will attempt to save the universe and other stuff from dysfunctional deities, things with fangs, things without fangs and his impetuous wife all over again.

Canonical conceptions of narrative might find such a story-game equation problematic but the borders between the narrative and the ludic have always been fluid and allowed varying degrees of overlap between the two. With older games, this might not have been as obvious but with the sophisticated machinic narratives developing within and through computer games, it is clear that current conceptions about narrative have to take into account the ludic and the machinic nature of stories to be able to explain the functioning of problematic forms, like the narratives created within computer games. Such changing conceptions of narrative also need to address the participatory and constructive role that the reader has in the development of the narrative. In computer games, the narratives are formed within the game system (i.e. a base narrative) but through a complex identification with the in-game protagonists whose actions (and therefore the player’s) play the story into existence, thus establishing a constant interplay between playing and reading. Keeping the above in view, this paper will try to analyse the workings of narratives with reference to computer games and other new media as well as by identifying how older media also incorporate similar characteristics, hitherto ignored. It will therefore try to re-examine some key issues that inform essential conceptions of narratives and also show how Alice, in both kinds of texts, plays a videogame.
The film reviews three different movie adaptations of The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring. The reviews praise the films for their sophisticated and believable fantasy worlds, visually stunning production design and special effects, and for generally capturing the spirit of J.R.R. Tolkien's source material. However, some reviews note that the films can feel tedious at times due to their lengthy runtimes and battles that resemble video games more than intense clashes. Overall, the reviews give high ratings to the films and predict they will be hugely popular with audiences.

This 3 stanza poem by William Blake questions who could have created the fearful yet beautiful tiger, with its burning bright eyes and strong sinews of the heart. The poem wonders what immortal being had the skill, tools, and strength to forge the tiger - what hammer, chain, and furnace were used to shape its brain and deadly grasp.
The narrator's bald headmaster informed him that his father had died. The narrator cried not out of grief, but because he realized death could provide temporary protection from bullies. He cried from shame and relief as well, having learned an uncomfortable lesson at just over ten years old. When his grief was revealed at a school assembly, all eyes turned to him as his pride briefly surfaced like a goldfish flashing its fin within himself.

The song uses similes to describe feeling lost or unstable. It compares feeling like a plastic bag drifting in the wind wanting a fresh start, or feeling as fragile as a house of cards that could cave in from one blow. However, the song offers a message of hope, saying there is still a chance as long as one can ignite their inner spark and shine as brightly as the 4th of July fireworks.

Rupert Brooke was an English poet known for his patriotic poetry during World War I. He joined the Royal Navy in 1915 and was sent to fight the Turks in Gallipoli, which had been a lifelong ambition of his. Brooke contracted blood poisoning and died on a hospital ship in Greece in April 1915 at the young age of 27. His most famous poem, "The Soldier," expresses a noble attitude about sacrificing for one's country that contrasted with the more realistic wartime poetry of poets like Wilfred Owen and Siegfried Sassoon.

Dulce et decorum est (l101552's conflicted copy 2012 11-10)Amanda Smith
The poem describes the horrors of a gas attack on soldiers during World War I. It depicts men struggling through mud with tired and injured feet. When a gas attack hits, there is panic and chaos as the soldiers scramble to put on their gas masks in time. The speaker sees a man drowning in front of him from the effects of the gas. He is haunted by nightmares of this man. The poem powerfully argues against glorifying war by saying it is not sweet and honorable to die for your country.
