Fantastic Character Traits

Some creatures of fantasy appear more than once in different stories.
For example, trolls are always protraid as ugly gruesome animals. In both Harry Potter and The Hobbit trolls are huge and scary. They could kill you but they're not very smart or sneaky. Wizards are often saviors and the good guys but they can also be bad. In Harry Potter they main characters are good and in The Hobbit Gandalf is good, as well. Goblins are almost exactly the same. The only difference is in one movie (Harry Potter) they work in a bank and deal with riches but no one messes with them. In the other, they work in a cave and no one messes with them. In both stories, though, they seem to be evil and mean. Harry Potter and The Hobbit both stress the importance of a ring. One of Lord Voldemorts horecrux's is a ring that needed to be destroyed to reach their final goal. Bilbo's ring is something that they will need to accomplish their final goal of getting the treasure. Harry's invisibility cloak and Bilbo's invisibility ring are very important to both stories. The Sword of Gryfindor is very important as in Thorin's goblin killing sword.

Variations of "The Faithful Wife"

There are variations of this story from all over the world. None of them seem any newer or older than the others.
In Russia, the story is about a king and a queen instead of a knights daughter and a commoner. In this Russian version, the king leaves for battle and in the first version the husband leaves for building. They both had the importance of three though. In "The Faithful Wife" it's three men who come to ask for her hand, and in "The Lute Player" the king is gone for three years. In "The Lute Player" the queen cut off all of her hair and played a boy to save her husband. In "The Faithful Wife" the woman barely does anything to save her husband. She just remains faithful. In "The Lute Player" the wife goes to extraordinary lengths to stay faithful to her husband and not be lusted after by the heathen king of the other country. In "The Lute Player' the king accused his wife of being unfaithful. In "The Faithful Wife" the husband and wife both knew of each others faithfulness. There was a celebration at the end of both stories, but of course the king and queen's celebration was bigger. The queen also had to prove her faithfulness to her husband in "The Lute Player" and in "The Faitful Wife" the proof was written everywhere.
The story becomes recognizable to me when I related it to Time Traver's Wife.
They all teach the same lessons I think. It teaches you to be faithufl to your husband! I think everyone should be faithful though!!

Independent Novel

I just finished reading 13 Reasons Why.

 This is a quote from Hannah Baker. I think it is the most touching quote from the book because it shows a side to her that hadn't been shown yet. That she was just a regular teenage girl. A good teenage girl who bad stuff had happened to.

This is a picture of Hannah's map. It's a map that shows her 13 reasons why. I thought this was the saddest part. That she had all this time to plan some elaborate suicide and no one thought she was in trouble.

I liked this picture a lot, because even though it didn't really come straight from the book I saw it's relevance. It's a blank name tag which immediately made me thinkg of Hannah. How she felt so invisible, like no one knew her.

I thought this picture related pretty well because one of Hannah's reasons was a peeping tom. He took away her security of home.

With all the shattered friendships in the book I thought this picture represented the book pretty well.

It's pretty obvious how this relates to the story. She sends everyone her story with cassetter tapes.

This is obviously a cry for help. It relates to the story because everyone had so many signs they missed. A sudden change of appearance or giving away person possetions. No one saw her cries for help and that was all she wanted.

The slide where Hannah had her first kiss and her world fell apart.

This represents rumors.

I chose this picture because Hannah Baker's life is full of tough choices.
