The Significance of Creatures in Literature

This is just something I find interesting. Have you noticed how often creatures can be used significantly in literature? Seriously! I will give my input, and once you finish reading it, I would love for you to give your own. Point one:There is so many ways you can use an animal that you can't a human. Contemplate this. The most you can do with a human is say, "His eyes radiated malevolence, and his posture showed his complete distaste for those around him." That is good, but can you make it better? "The snake's eyes flicked back and forth across those gathered near. It's tongue was constantly flicking between it's lips, testing the air for potential danger." Way better, right? Point two: Can you imagine famous creatures as people? Think about these in particular: Aslan, Smog, Puddleglum, REEPACHEEP. What would they be like as humans??? This I know for sure:Aslan wouldn't be nearly as Majestic. Smog wouldn't be at ALL as imposing. Puddleglum wouldn't be as... well, glum. And Reepacheep? He wouldn't be so brave and witty. Just imagine.

"Sir, I lost my tail in battle for you," said a dis-heartened Reepacheep. Aslan replied, "Get up you stupid man! You didn't have a tail in the first place!"

Yes, I am a Narnia Fanatic, so I will variate. The pheonix 'Fox' of Harry Potter. Can you imagine him being human?

"Harry looked questioningly at the strange man. He seemed to be crying on him. With the last of his strength, he pushed the man away from himself. His honor must be preserved. And then he breathed his last breath, with Voldemort's laughing form at his back."

Can you see that happening? I can't. One final shot at it, for those of you who haven't read Narnia OR Harry Potter... creepy as that may be. :D

"Bilbo Baggins walked down the small tunnel. He had half expected it to be hot and dank, but it was actually quite nice. There were pictures on the wall, the floor was carpeted, and torches lined the walls, giving the room a nice airy feeling."

That is as far as I'll go. I don't think I can stand any more. Give me your input on this subject.

Playlist... again?

I don't know if I've posted this already, but here you go: new playlist.

Movie Trailer::No More Decency

I am a huge fan of the Lightning Thief series by Rick Riordan, and recently, he came out with the first 'Olympian' movie. I have been told that is totaly awful. It has great graphics, a okay story, and it is entirely other than the book. That is not how it is supposed to happen!!!!! The start of this trailer is really the best. It just grabbed me. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xko1Mx5w4tg And yes, Annabeth is a total geek. "I have strong feelings for you, but I don't know if they're good or bad yet." What?! Does that even make sense?!

Momma and me are cookin! :: 'Tonight's Gonna' be a Good Night'

Hoo-hoo! Bean soup and Home-baked Sourdough! My mouth is watering like crazy!!! I'll try and post some pics afterwards.

SKYPE!

My dad just set me up for Skype, and I have to say, It is awesome. Fantastic Speed, even at long distances. I just talked with my aunt for ten minutes. She lives in Mexico. This is great. I encourage you to go and try it yourself. It will work best if you have a webcam. If you do try to do it, Send me your name so I can talk with ya'!
