Looking even further beyond, we can see how a much deeper meaning to this coffee cup then you could the company name itself manifests itself to the relevance of possibly even imagine.

For obvious reasons this word is important to this story.

Before you see is to figure out how to navigate their new relationship now that what you would get putting it all together. the war against the dead is over and they both know that I think you can relate that by inferring to Daenerys Jon is the true heir the Iron Throne. Within the history of Targaryen once seeing Jon as a Stark and she is now not welcomed by the Starks and has created a difficult situa- tion. She had once seen Jon as a stark, but now is forced to see him as a Targaryen. So, it is no coincidence that the Starbucks cup was put into the scene when Daenerys was realizing that Jon Snow could be the rightful heir among the people in addition to actual blood. Take a look at the current Starbucks logo. It looks to appear as a women with a crown on her head. You could argue that this woman could be Daenerys Targaryen.

Mathematics says that they will, and we assure the people of Westeros that in fact, the threat is not as large as it seems. Given the raw bloodthirst of 100,000 undead would have accumulated over millenia, we assume that the White Walkers, supernatural creatures whose only weakness is an obsidian-like substance called dragonglass, and their army will head straight to Winterfell, and then push south directly towards the capital of Westeros, King's Landing. To develop a strategy for the different armies scattered around Westeros, we first create a model of a battle between the White Walkers and humans. We then use this model to simulate battles with varying parameters such as the size of the human armies and how much dragonglass-coated weapons are available.

    Painting With Shades of Grey The Hero and the Anti-Hero in Medievalist Fantasy Fiction By Hannah Nicole Graham A Thesis Presented to The Department of Literature, Area Studies, and European Languages The Faculty of Humanities University of Oslo In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the MA Degree in English Literature Spring Term 2020 1 Painting With Shades of Grey The Hero and the Anti-Hero in Medievalist Fantasy Fiction By Hannah Nicole Graham © 2020 Hannah Nicole Graham ALL RIGHTS RESERVED 2 Abstract J.R.R Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings and George R.R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire are two landmark works in the genre of medievalist fantasy literature. The main argument of this thesis is that, despite the apparent similarities between the works, they portray and utilize the tradition of the heroic in contrasting ways. This thesis explores the opposing uses of medievalism in each series, and examines the use of ensembles of characters as opposed to a singular protagonist. The thesis draws a direct comparison between the heroic and the anti-heroic by character analyses of one character from each work, Jaime Lannister from A Song of Ice and Fire and Aragorn from The Lord of the Rings. Finally, this thesis offers an analysis of each author’s writing of war, and uses biographical and epistolary sources to examine the cultural context of the novels and each author’s aims in writing them. Through these approaches, this thesis will show the contrast between Tolkien’s use of the heroic and Martin’s anti-heroic, as well as providing analysis of how they are portrayed and why they are important elements in each of the works.
