Well, this post a about how I can link certain concepts in this anime, ‘Elemental Gerad’, to one of the stories I studied recently, Limits of Trooghaft.

Ok, The Limits of Trooghaft is a parody of how we humans treat animals. In ‘Elemental Gerad’, the story is based on one race of beings treating the other unfairly.

‘Elemental Gerad’ is about a story of this world where there are mainly three types of brings. Eden Raids, Sitting Raids and humans.

In the limits of Trooghaft, Humans are classified into various groups. In ‘Elemental Gerad’m the Edeb Raids are treated as weapons, depending on their attributes and abililities, they are classified as differant weapons.

In The limits of Trooghaft, Blake and his troog tried to create a relationship between each other, although it is rather one sided. For ‘Elemental Gerad’, the Eden Raids are kept in enclosed areas by Arc Aile, a group formed to protect Eden Raids, however, their actual intention is to suppress the Eden Raids’ powers so that humans can remain superior.

These are just some of the points that are simlar.

Here is some interesting text I found on wikipedia.

Epitaph of Twilight (known fragments)

Yet to return, the shadowed one.
Who quests for the Twilight Dragon
Rumbles the Dark Hearth,
And Helba, Queen of the Dark,
has finally raised her army.
Apeiron, King of Light beckons.
At the base of the rainbow they meet
Against the abominable Wave,
together they fight.
Alba’s lake boils.
Light’s great tree doth fall.
Power- now all to droplets turned
in the temple of Arche Koeln.
Returns to nothing,
this world of shadowless ones.
Never to return, the shadowed one,
Who quests for the Twilight Dragon.

The Phases in the Epitaph

Unknown where the Cursed Wave was born…
After the stars doth cross the heavens,
The sky in the East doth darken and air doth fill with mourning.
From the chosen land beyond the forest, a sign of the wave comes.
Riding the Wave is Skeith, the Shadow of Death, to drown all that stands.
Mirage of Deceit, Innis, Betray all with the flawed image, and did aid the Wave.
And by the Power of Magus, a drop from the Wave doth reach the heavens, and creates a new Wave.
With the Wave, Fidchell, the power to tell the dark future, hope darkens, sadness and despair rule.
Gorre schemes when swallowed by the Cursed Wave.
Macha seduces with the sweet trap.
Wave reaches the Pinnacle, and escape none can. Tarvos still remains with more cruelty to punish and destroy.
And with the turbulent destruction after the Wave. Only a void remains. From deep within the void arrives Corbenik.
Perhaps then the Wave is just a beginning as well.

Fidchell’s Prophecy

Recited by the Phase Fidchell, the Prophet

Like a frenzied horse that is driven.
An unseen wind of plague shrieks across the border.
Pandemonium, wailing, and the stench of carnage fills the air.
There is no place to run. No hope of escape.
Those who are mourned will never return.
The hands of time cannot be turned back.

Epitaph 00

Found at Θ Cursed Despaired Paradise

Shunning the field broken by Wave.
The shadowed girl whispers,
“Surely, I will return.”
Alas, the truth unbeknownst.
Awaiting her at journey’s end;
Eternal mourning for her land.

Epitaph 01

Found at Λ Dying Madness Haunted Land

When the finger points to the
yonder moon,
The fool will not look at the fingertip.

Epitaph 02

Found at Σ Chatting Snarling Twins

The whole cannot be changed.
We have already lost that chance.
Because the time left to us was short,
We were mistaken in our path.
But now do we realize,
We should change not the whole,
But the parts.

Epitaph 03

Found at Σ Resonating False Grasslands

Wave soars and shrouds the eyes.
No means to fight an omnipresent force,
The shadowless ones just grieve.
Why must it be a Wave?
Divide, if it would just…
Then retaliate, we may.

Epitaph 04

Found in Σ Screaming Wind Sand’s Fate Castle

Over the Keel Mountains,
Meets an ape with human speech.
The ape asks,
“What clings to you?
Bear it - you cannot.
Accept it - you cannot.
But hidden - it is from you.
Recite its name.”

I frankly am still in the midst of analyzing this piece of text. So I won’t be able to comment much on the content as of now. I hope some guys are willing to chip in some knowledge on this.

This week of English lessons was mainly on constructing sentences. Mainly working on the past perfect and things related to that. Was not pretty interesting though. In any case, the only bit I enjoyed was making sentences that could some what link to animes I’ve been watching. I used sentences such as ” After Misa obtained the Deathnote, She gave it to Light ” . Just one of the many examples.

Once again, another Samphire post.

In the short story, Samphire, I learnt that one should not bottle up his or her feeling or it may result in dire consiquences. Which may result in major problems. One should aslo avoid molopolizing the situation, and not ignore the feelings of others.

(I know this post is a little crappy, but will use this till I think of something better.)

Well, here is the post.

Brief plot:
There is this married couple, Lacey and Molly. They went up on the high mountains to see a plat know as Samphire. On their second visit, Molly tried to push Lacey off the clift.

Go find for the story somwhere if you really want to know what happened.

Now for the review.

I do not really like the story Samphire, for the Characters have exagerrated personalities, there is a lack of intensity and there is not much of an obvious climax.

Molly and Lacey both have exagerating behaviour. Molly have a submissive behaviour and she represses her feelings. This is exagerated as she is being made to do whatever Lacey wanted her to do. Making her a pretty much a remote control robot that follows Lacey’s every command. She also represses her feelings to such a state that when it bottles up, she nearly sent Lacey flying to his death, down the mountains. Lacey on the other hand love to be in charge of everything, in other word, molopolizing the situation.This makes it pretty much like the story would be pretty much what he had planned for it to be, except the last bit. He is also ignorant, thus making a lack of interaction in the story. Thus, the characters play quite a vital role in spoiling the story.

There is a lack of intensity in the story, for the story is one, very slow moving, two, the twist of plot is not well portrayed. The story took quite a while to build up the mood. And as soon as it is builded up, it is shattered near instantly by the twist of plot, not allowing the story to intensify. In stead of stating just the feelings that each character have for themselves, emotions of what they feel about each othershould have been clearly portrayed before the twist of plot. The twist of the plot was also poorly done, as it was not very attention seeking. It was made to seem just like a push, nothing much. It should have exagerated a bit on the pushing bit. The intensity in the story is overall rather poor.

Last but not least, there was not climax to create interest in the story. It was a rather dry plot and there were not exciting parts to it. Some action, in terms of a heated arguement, or when the characters react to each other more spontaneously could have made the story better.

In conclusion, the story was not very well written.

Lessons learned continued on part 2…

Well, on this blog, I’ve opened the page where I sotred my banners. Its under Image Store, so feel free to have a look.

Well, this time is with regards to Literature lessons.

Ok, one thing that I picked up from today’s lesson.
Sometimes, certain points in a short story can be contradicting, thus, one will have to read it through once or twice again before you can conclude what is really happening, be it the plot, theme or characters.

Yup, this is the first seemingly proper post. Have to admit that this will mainly be used for English lessons purposes, at least until end of the year. Ooo. Btw here I have 3 other sites which I use as blogs, proper personal blogs.

And also, other than just using this blog to post school stuff, I might consider making a section for posting my screenshot manupilations, which I do not have any intention to post on DA.

BTW, for the next few posts, I’ll probably be using images that I actually set aside for the header of my posts as Footer too, until I get more images done. XD
