Character study 2 and 3


It has been 2 suns and 1 moon since I last have seen my loved ones. They are nothing but ghosts of my present, I am going down the road of Ma'Nurah, this road has plenty of memories that have scarred me through my life and others that made me realize that life is beautiful, from meeting The young and beautiful Daina to sliding my first blade into a mans gap of his right rib cage. As my reminiscing was drifting away and my reality of dreams become trees and dirt, an odd figure was extremely blurry. It looked as if it was struggling with something. It was actually a man he wasn't a very physically muscular one but he seemed to have heart. "Ahh, You piece of... Ahh!" he fell back into his back and landed on his bottom, "Oh, I'll never get this done" said the man. I looked back at him and said,"Are you in need ,sir?". He was offended by my offer and shouted, "Why would you say something like!? Just because you have larger toned arms and chest does not mean that you can come around and bully me, and call me names and you deserve to be called upon the gods, oh if I were a god I would smite thy before the second moon comes." This man was very proud of his work I suppose, still I was only going to help him not hang him in a branch with his trousers (although it sounds like a good idea now that thought about it). "What is your name, you!" "I am Little Bear" "Bah! You must be a joker, because you look as if you would kill a man for looking at the ground that you have just stepped on!" He blabbered on some more until I said,"And your name might be?" "EEEEEE EEEEEEEEE the son of the Great and Almighty Douglas EEEEEEEEE" "Ha, Your name has as much bad taste as the foot of Glorwitch!" As we were arguing about our names there was a huge earthquake and dust came out, a strange long figure came out. It's breath was heavy, it's horns were mighty and sharp, it had scales, wings and even eyes of a snake, it was a dragon! EEEEEE said well," EEEEEEEK!" I ran to the mighty beast with my blade, it roared with a grand haze in back of its loud proud explosive sound. EEEEEE found his courage and ran to the beast and got a hold of its raging tail, while I got thrown by its massive clawed arm right into his head, I pulled back his head and he started flying up, and up until the clouds where black and the stars were close... By the gods, we are in the forbidden realm of the Deadra Devil. Luckily for me I was protected With my armor, I also saw that EEEEEE had the amulet of the Deadra Devil. The dragon was still blowing fire, alas I grabbed my blade and speared it through its massive and extremely rock-like forehead. It did not move, it has finally died, but now I feel my temperature rise... my arms and legs were getting really hard to motor. I looked up and there was this huge rock, it looked as if it were my home. Something felt really wrong about what was about to become, the dragon started to flare I cut through its stomach while EEEEEE is still latching on to the tail as if he was a statue, frightened by what happened he was paralyzed. I grabbed his arm and pulled him into the cavity of the dragons chest, we were going to brace for impact.The dragons body was becoming extremely hot, gravity was becoming extremely hard to deal with, I closed my eyes for a few minutes for some rest. Still inside the dragons body, I wake up hearing people and looking at the dark clouds that have surrounded me due to the impact blast. I got up and saw 5 other figures. It was 2 men and 3 women... but they were wearing different outfits, ones I consider taboo. One of the girls looked very shocked at this moment... I wonder why she does, I didn't land on her nor her horse.

CANTERBURY TALES

The prologue was about the contradicting cultural stereotypes and putting them together in a journey that actually doesn't make much sense at all. It held a literary element that I found actually really funny which was irony, there was a monk on the voyage to a catholic church and he was a omnivore, and it was actually pretty entertaining, because in my perspective I love Buddhism, its a great religion. The monk was my favorite character and I would love to read more about him because well its really interesting on how he was sinning in this story.

Character Study.

I come from the village of Akarrath,in the Kingdom of the Twelvth Yukraoin Realm, I am a Warwick, leader of the military but I have done my dues, due to the fact that before any of this happened, I was a street thug fighting to enjoy a little food and shelter, I still lived with my mother, helping her scrape some money to help her keep our home. I had a criminal history behind my back but the kingdom helped me help them because of my fighting skills they made me a soldier and eventually I became a loyal soldier of Jarl Minstrake, he then promoted me into the leader of all of our wars and battles we have fought for  21 years. But over the years I have retired and want to explore my with my skills to continue on my battling technique. And the perfect place to test my skills and become greater is a journey to Skyrim and join the Dark Brotherhood Guild.
As I prepare on my voyage to Skyrim, I will carry my Daedric Armor to impress the lord of the Dark Brotherhood I am equipped with my Dawnstar blade, and my Nightingale Bow. I heard many stories expounding to me that werewolves, vampires, and trolls live through the land of Skyrim, The men of the land are Nords. But, they broke into 7 holds because of some crazy argument between their land... I don't know much about their little psychotic seminar. I just want to get into the Dark Brotherhood, so I can make some quick cash to go to the Paradise Falls of Klahjdmari. How will I do this? I will meet people and ask them if they have any information on how to get into the guild to become an assassin of the brotherhood. I would do crawl down the sharp edged rocks of Markskreeg for a chance with them in the guild.
 I will meet enemies, and plenty of companions, I will probably get off track for this voyage to even continue. It will be a journey to live by, I know of it, where danger may lay I will not perish and lay to disappear in a cave. Now as I walk up the mountains of the Tristinian Wolves I have only hope for my journey to end well, and a swell end of life.

What a character

My favorite two characters of a fictional book were Spence Morgan and  Dieter Hendrick,  these two characters took place in World War 2 while in working for different armies in a book called Soldier Boys by Dean Hughes. They were both 16 years old and at war and they were extremely scared they so plenty of death. It was really hard to read without having any emotions or understanding to how they feel . One of the characters dieter was a very extremely hard person until it came to killing people. And the other, Dean Hughes was a very scared kid who was only 16 and just wanted to go home. The thing that got me about that whole book was when they both need each other, it was a twist in it got me really hard when they finally saw each other and I knew both of them and they didn't know each other. That's probably why this book has been stuck with me since I last read it.

Why this Book!?

I chose Sophie's World because I read the first five pages of the book and just got completely stuck to this book with all the crazy mind-blowing explanations to life and how philosophy started and it also made me feel great to be alive. I got completely sucked into this book and I cannot wait to see what kind of an adventure this girl will have. SO STOKED! I  recommend this book to anyone who is interested in reading this book!
