  • Intimating Intimacy: Self-Shattering Intimacy in Christopher Paolini's
    Intimating Intimacy: Self-Shattering Intimacy in Christopher Paolini’s Inheritance Cycle Although children’s and young adult literature often define intimacy in the context of familial and sexual relationships, intimacy encompasses so much more. Following the thoughts of Georges Bataille, intimacy shatters the self-contained individual; it changes the perception of the world. It brings people and nature into continuity. Intimacy overcomes the evil of subjugating others to the meager existence of utility. This result of intimacy becomes exceedingly important because it seeks to restore connection between people. Through dissolving the self, intimacy breaks the barriers people place around themselves, exposing them to others. This exposure breaks the cycle of disjoint individuals to shape continuity among people. The foundational movement here breaks the individual self by completely opening them to another being. Intimacy changes societal dynamics by denying the utility of others, moving beyond people as only a means to an end. People count as human beings again rather than only the service(s) they perform. In this way, intimacy brings people out of individualized self-centeredness into continuity across existence. Christopher Paolini’s Inheritance Cycle imagines intimacy as fostering a deeper connection with other forms of life. Paolini’s novels bring intimacy to the fore, creating a fantastical story of good triumphing over evil through intimacy. The intimacy of the Inheritance Cycle allows a person to see beyond the discontinuous individual self, moving to a space of continuity with the world. This understanding of intimacy follows directly from Georges Bataille’s theoretical understanding of eroticism and intimacy. This intimacy shatters the self and moves people into a space of continuity with all living things.

  • The Borrowers a Culture of Life Studies Book Review
    TEACHING THE CULTURE OF LIFE: The Borrowers A Culture of Life Studies book review ABOUT THE AUTHOR Mary Norton is the British author of The Borrowers series as well as the two-book series Bedknobs and Broomsticks which became a classic The Borrowers Disney film in 1971. Readers who enjoyed The Borrowers may also by Mary Norton (1952) enjoy other books in the same series: The Borrowers Afield, The GENRE: Children’s Classics, Borrowers Afloat, The Borrowers Aloft , and The Borrowers Avenged , Fantasy all of which deal with similar themes. LENGTH: 180 pages Recommended for ages 8 –12 STORY SUMMARY The Borrowers—Pod, Homily, and Arrietty Clock—are small persons who live under the kitchen in an old house. In order to survive, they “borrow” food and small objects from around the house. Their greatest fear is being seen by a “human bean” because then they would have to emigrate (or leave) to protect themselves. Arrietty, the smallest Borrower, longs to go outside and see the world. When her father takes her borrowing for the first time, she is spotted by a human bean, a boy living in the house, but instead of being frightened, she makes a friend. This friendship, however, leads to trouble and possible danger from the other humans in the house. The boy begins “borrowing” many things from the doll’s house and giving them to the Borrowers through a loose plank in the kitchen. One night, Mrs. Driver, the housekeeper, discovers the Borrowers through the floor and sends for the rat-catcher to get rid of them.

  • Eragon Chapters 1-3 1.Eps
    Excerpt from ERAGON Book One in the Inheritance cycle by Christopher Paolini DISCOVERY ragon knelt in a bed of trampled reed grass and scanned the Etracks with a practiced eye. The prints told him that the deer had been in the meadow only a half-hour before. Soon they would bed down. His target, a small doe with a pronounced limp in her left forefoot, was still with the herd. He was amazed she had made it so far without a wolf or bear catching her. The sky was clear and dark, and a slight breeze stirred the air. A silvery cloud drifted over the mountains that surrounded him, its edges glowing with ruddy light cast from the harvest moon cradled between two peaks. Streams flowed down the mountains from stolid glaciers and glistening snowpacks. A brooding mist crept along the valley’s floor, almost thick enough to obscure his feet. Eragon was fifteen, less than a year from manhood. Dark eye- brows rested above his intense brown eyes. His clothes were worn from work. A hunting knife with a bone handle was sheathed at his belt, and a buckskin tube protected his yew bow from the mist. He carried a wood-frame pack. The deer had led him deep into the Spine, a range of untamed mountains that extended up and down the land of Alagaësia. Strange tales and men often came from those mountains, usually boding ill. Despite that, Eragon did not fear the Spine—he was the only hunter near Carvahall who dared track game deep into its craggy recesses.

  • A Concise Study on English Syntax
    1 THE FANTASY FORMULA IN CHRISTOPHER PAOLINI’S ERAGON Rif’ah Inayati* Abstrak: Sebuah karya sastra dapat dikategorikan sebagai sebuah karya sastra populer apabila berhasil mendapatkan perhatian dari masyarakat luas. Masalah yang muncul kemudian adalah bagaimanakah cara untuk menganalisis karya sastra tersebut? Apakah dapat dilakukan dengan cara yang sama dengan yang dilakukan pada apa yang disebut sebagai ”High Literature”? Oleh sebab itu, studi ini ditujukan untuk menganalisa sebuah karya sastra populer yang ditulis oleh Christopher Paolini, berjudul Eragon dan menemukan formulanya. Kata Kunci: Fantasi, Karya Sastra Populer, Convention, Invention, Archetypes, Formula Introduction Nowadays, many people regard literary work as their way to have a relaxation, either high literature or popular literature. High literature refers to literary works that can only be criticized by people who have a good understanding on literary works. Meanwhile, literary work can be regarded as popular literature when it gains a good appreciation from the society. Then, the question is, can we use the same method in analyzing those two kinds of literatures? In this case, this study will analyze one of popular literature by figuring out the formula that constructs it. Formula literature is a kind of literary art. Therefore, it can be analyzed and evaluated like any other kind of literature. There are two central aspects of formulaic structures, their essential standardization and their primarily relation to the needs of escape and relaxation. Standardization, in important ways, is the essence of all literature. Standard conventions establish a common ground between writers and audiences. Without at least some form of standardization, artistic communication would not be possible.

  • Gary's Clarifications
    Gary’s Clarifications When I saw the Zagyg’s Wisdom super-thread on Dragonsfoot, I thought what a great idea it was to have a section where Gary answered questions about D&D and offered clarifications and interpretations about the game he created. And if he isn’t around to answer more questions, at least we can benefit from what people asked him when they had the chance. Reading through the thread, it occurred to me that all these clarifications could be gathered up into a single document for easier reference, sorted by category. Steve at Dragonsfoot liked the idea, so I got started…and found that sorting them wasn’t as neat and easy as I’d expected. I’ve had to make a lot of judgement calls: for instance, should a question about true neutral clerics go under Classes or Alignment? So I apologize if the organization of this document seems a little haphazard, but I’ve done what I could with it. There are a very few posts from one category that I copied into another, but for the most part I tried to make a single choice and hope it was the right one. I’ve included some categories that aren’t exactly D&D or that wouldn’t be relevant to every campaign (Greyhawk, for example), but they’re in their own sections so they can be ignored by those not interested. These “related” sections are generally unsorted, as they didn't lend themselves as well to discrete categories. In the interest of keeping it short, I generally removed people’s greeting remarks (“Hi Gary,” etc.), though I left in whatever Gary said in case it should be helpful in assessing his “gut feel” reaction to the question.
