“Wise sir. Do not grieve. It is always better / to avenge dear ones than to indulge in mourning. / For every one of us‚ living in this world / means waiting for our end. Let whoever can / win glory before death. When a warrior is gone‚ / that will be the best and only bulwark. / So arise‚ my lord‚ and let us immediately / set forth on the trail of this troll-dam. / I guarantee you: she will not get away‚ / not to dens under ground nor upland groves / nor the ocean floor. She’ll have nowhere to flee

When we approached the table it became clear that the food before our eyes bared no resemblance to the popular fast

1. I believe Christmas season is a season to celebrate Jesus’ birth. I think that giving others presents shows Jesus giving freedom and forgiveness to us. 2. I would want to give them something that they would treasure for the rest of their lives. It depends on the person and what I can give. If someone asks for love‚ I’ll give them love because it will last longer than giving someone a toy (because eventually‚ you will outgrow it). I would give it to those who need it. Not those who desperately

Hutcheon also wishes to view adaptations as adaptations‚ not as independent works. Three ways of story engagement: telling‚ showing
