From thwarting orcish and barbarians raids, to rooting out cults both diabolic and apocalyptic, to slaying dragons, and negotiating an end to a decades long war. Uriah lived through and succeeded at more adventures than any hero outside of old legends. Recently Uriah has found his reflexes slowing and his power waning, and so he now seeks to cement his legacy by forming a mercenary company to continue to fight the good fight in his name. Using his wealth and influence he has taken over an abandoned fort in the foothills of the Skypyre Mountains. While the Silverfang Bastion is still under reconstruction, Uriah and his lieutenants have put out a call for those strong, confident, lucky, or desperate enough to try their hand at adventuring.

But that book is also the culmination of all the work I’ve done on this series over the last couple of years.

  • AND the IMPLICIT LEARNING of ENGLISH Florianópolis 2018
    i Raimundo Nonato de Sousa Filho TASK-GAME: ‘MAGIC THE GATHERING’ AND THE IMPLICIT LEARNING OF ENGLISH Dissertação submetida ao Programa de Pós-Graduação em Inglês: Estudos Linguísticos e Literários da Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina para a obtenção do Grau de Mestre em Letras. Orientadora: Profa. Dra. Raquel Souza Ferraz D’Ely Florianópolis 2018 ii Ficha de identificação da obra elaborada pelo autor através do Programa de Geração Automática da Biblioteca Universitária da UFSC. iii iv v ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS On a weekend night, about 16 years ago, I walked around UFSC with some friends. I looked at the buildings, and I could see some shadows of students and sometimes their heads through the windows. I thought to myself: “This is a place I will never be able to reach”. Back then, I had to work 44 hours a week to help my family. Before that, I had studied my entire life in a public school where sometimes I was sent home after lunch or the snack break because teachers used to be absent. Things have changed, however, and I had the opportunity to leave my job and go back to studying. In March of 2008, I was having my first class at UFSC. I was living a dream. Four years later, I proved to myself that I could go all the way through by graduating college. I was thrilled! After graduating college, I thought that it was the furthest I could go. I was wrong again. I just needed some time to take it all in. Four years later, I was a master’s student.

HILL AUDITORIUM This year marks the 97th Honors Convocation held at the University of Michigan since the first was instituted on May 13, 1924, by President Marion LeRoy Burton. On these occasions, the University publicly recognizes and commends the undergraduate students in its schools and colleges who have earned distinguished academic records or have excelled as leaders in the community. It is with great pride that the University honors those students who have most clearly and effectively demonstrated academic excellence, dynamic leadership, and inspirational volunteerism. The Honors Convocation ranks with the Commencement Exercises as among the most important ceremonies of the University year. The names of the students who are honored for outstanding achievement this year appear in this program. They include all students who have earned University Honors in both Winter 2019 and Fall 2019, plus all seniors who have earned University Honors in either Winter 2019 or Fall 2019. The William J.

James B. Angell Scholars – students who receive all “A” grades over consecutive terms – are given a special place in the program. In addition, the student speaker is recognized individually for exemplary contributions to the University community. To all honored students, and to their parents, the University extends its hearty congratulations. Susan M.
