Something strange is happening in the night sky and I need your help,” Jane replied. “It’s a little dierent each time. Once it was a pool of stars in a corner of the sky. But last week it was a rainbow—” A noise from her computer stopped her. “Wait for it!” she said excitedly. Nothing happened. The sky above them stayed calm and black.

  • Rune Warriors: Shield of Odin James Jennewein & Tom S. Parker
    Rune Warriors: Shield of Odin James Jennewein & Tom S. Parker Reviewed by: Enzo Takagi, 16 Star Teen Book Reviewer of Be the Star You Are! Charity www.bethestaryouare.org This book was very entertaining and funny. I would recommend it for mostly boys because it contains flatulence jokes and other humor along those lines. There is also reference to alcohol consumption and much violence. This book is recommended either as a gift or a book to be borrowed from the library. I liked the humor and the plentiful action a lot, and there were interesting references to Vikings and Norse mythology. The protagonist is Dane, a young man who has recently gone on his first hunt, a rite of passage. The very beginning of the book is about Dane growing up and the influences on his, as well as the love and care given to him. However, the story takes a turn after that. There is an evil king named Thidrek who likes to execute people and rule them by fear. He obviously is not liked by his people, and everyone is afraid of him. In Dane's village, there is an annual competition for Viking sports like axe throwing and archery. One year, Thidrek comes to this celebration and humiliates Dane's father and the rest of the village as well. Then things get worse. Dane's girlfriend, Astrid is kidnapped by Thidrek, and his village is razed to the ground and many people are killed. Dane's father is killed, and the Shield of Odin is stolen. This shield is given from Odin, the Norse god of tactics, and this shield blocks all attacks to the holder.

  • Creating a Superheroine: a Rhetorical Analysis of the X-Men Comic Books
    CREATING A SUPERHEROINE: A RHETORICAL ANALYSIS OF THE X-MEN COMIC BOOKS by Tonya R. Powers A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment Of the Requirements for the Degree MASTER OF ARTS Major Subject: Communication West Texas A&M University Canyon, Texas August, 2016 Approved: __________________________________________________________ [Chair, Thesis Committee] [Date] __________________________________________________________ [Member, Thesis Committee] [Date] __________________________________________________________ [Member, Thesis Committee] [Date] ____________________________________________________ [Head, Major Department] [Date] ____________________________________________________ [Dean, Fine Arts and Humanities] [Date] ____________________________________________________ [Dean, Graduate School] [Date] ii ABSTRACT This thesis is a rhetorical analysis of a two-year X-Men comic book publication that features an entirely female cast. This research was conducted using Kenneth Burke’s theory of terministic screens to evaluate how the authors and artists created the comic books. Sonja Foss’s description of cluster criticism is used to determine key terms in the series and how they were contributed to the creation of characters. I also used visual rhetoric to understand how comic book structure and conventions impacted the visual creation of superheroines. The results indicate that while these superheroines are multi- dimensional characters, they are still created within a male standard of what constitutes a hero. The female characters in the series point to an awareness of diversity in the comic book universe. iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I wish to thank my thesis committee chair, Dr. Hanson, for being supportive of me within the last year. Your guidance and pushes in the right direction has made the completion of this thesis possible. You make me understand the kind of educator I wish to be. You would always reply to my late-night emails as soon as you could in the morning.

  • The Myth of Skadi and Njord Characters Skadi Njord
    THE MYTH OF SKADI AND NJORD CHARACTERS SKADI NJORD ODIN LOKI GOAT HEIMDALL NARRATOR The Aesir rejoiced in celebration and song at the return of their beloved Idunn, goddess of youth. Their festive cries echoed throughout the halls of Asgard and all the Nine Realms. The smoldering carcass of Thiazi, the giant who kidnapped fair Idunn, served as fuel for the magnificent bonfire that lit up the night sky. However, beyond the farthest reaches of the icy grey waters, past the depths of the ancient magma rivers that heat the barren peaks, Skadi waited in her lonely home of Thrymheim for her father’s return; he had gone after Idunn, his escaped captive. The sun cycled through canvases of night and day, with still no sign of Thiazi’s return. Skadi’s eyes soon turned cold, yet her irises burned with fury. SKADI: How long must I wait for an answer I already have? My father is not one to find delay from wind or snow. No, there is only one explanation for the emptiness of these halls. My father is dead, and none but the Aesir could have killed him. Copyright @ Alex Schweich 2020. This play may be performed freely but the text may not be reproduced without permission of the author, and the author must be credited. Enraged, Skadi swept through each room of her home like a hurricane, donning her family’s finest armaments. Wielding a magical sword and ancient spear and shield, Skadi stood atop the highest peak, defiantly facing the heavens. SKADI: I swear, Father, I shall not let your death go unavenged.

    THOR Written by Ashley Miller, Zack Stentz, & Don Payne FADE IN: On the blackness of SPACE, beautiful and mysterious, strewn with a billion stars.

PUENTE ANTIGUO, NEW MEXICO - NIGHT 1 1 A main street extends before us in this one-horse town, set amid endless flat, arid scrubland. A large SUV slowly moves down the street and heads out of town. 2 EXT. SUV - NIGHT 2 2 The SUV sits parked in the desert. Suddenly, the roof panels of the SUV FOLD OPEN. The underside of the panels house a variety of hand-built ASTRONOMICAL DEVICES, which now point at the sky. JANE FOSTER (late 20's) pops her head through the roof. She positions a MAGNETOMETER, so its monitor calibrates with the constellations above. It appears to be cobbled together from spare parts of other devices. JANE Hurry! We hear a loud BANG followed by muffled CURSING from below. Jane offers a hand down to ERIK SELVIG (60) who emerges as well, rubbing his head. JANE (CONT'D) Oh-- watch your head. SELVIG Thanks.

Well Thor is a character (actually a Viking God) that belongs to Norse mythology’ Do you anything about Viking Gods and Norse mythology? Maybe do a little Google or book research – they were very colourful characters indeed! Today’s reading comprehension is a traditional tale based upon these Viking Gods so the language style will seem a little unusual. There are also some strange names and places mentioned, so take extra care with your reading. You’ll find the story on the next page. The answers are at the bottom. Good luck! Odin’s Reward - extract This is a story from Norse mythology about Odin, the chief of the Aesir (the gods of Asgard). One night when all was quiet in Asgard and the Aesir had gone to rest, Odin, the Allfather, sat awake on his high throne, troubled with many thoughts. At his feet crouched his two faithful wolves, and upon his shoulders perched the two ravens of thought and memory, who flew far abroad every day, through the nine worlds, as Odin’s messengers. The Allfather had need of great wisdom in ruling the worlds; after thinking a long time on the matters which needed his care, he suddenly started up, and went forth with long strides from his palace of Gladsheim into the night. He soon returned, leading his beautiful, eight- footed steed, Sleipnir, and it was plain that Odin was going on a journey.
