@aratrea I love theme because it has the power to change how the reader views a certain thing or idea. It excites me because I’ve felt it before and I’m getting to learn how to use it 🙂

@graciegirl Nice job. That looks like a great pairing. When I first read through it, my worry was that answers 2 & 3 and then 1 & 4 both looked kind of similar, but reading through them again, I can see the distinctions you’re drawing there. As long as those distinctions remain clear in your head throughout the book that should work out great!…[Read more]

@graciegirl Yeah–it will get easier the more practice you have at doing this with films and books, but some stories are still tough to analyze in this way!

I haven’t read “The Little White Horse,” so my ability to contribute helpfully here is going to be a bit limited. However, from what you said, it could be that the FQ is something like “What…[Read more]

@GraceofSpades2017 sounds like you and @I-J-Anderson would get along splendidly. 😀

Hm. Okayyyyy… I’ve had a few characters drawn, but never a scene. This could be fun. Hmmm… Okayyyy… I’ve got one. Two characters first:
Harold. Nineteen, tall, somewhat lanky, curly/wavy bright gold hair, hard face, flame-blue eyes; very intense and wired…[Read more]

@bethanysinkyroses Hola! 🙂 I was curious, how do you study the Bible? I’ve been feeling the same way, with wanting to do more than just reading, but I’m not sure what the next step is. Isn’t First Peter an awesome book? What are your favorite books in the Bible? Mine change often, but right now they would be 1 Peter and Phillipians.

@DanceFree7 Sure, I would love to proofread them. 🙂 I’m sorry I didn’t reply sooner; I haven’t been on KP lately. It’s neat that you’re self-publishing. Is this your first book?

@dragon-snapper Seems like the story writers had a great idea, but just didn’t execute it very well.

@ethryndal I’m actually going to post her name, because well, it’s the internet… 😛 But please, feel free to draw her.

I forgot to mention she’s about 15.

@daeus Pretty much, I agree with everything you said about the characters, except how they got better at the end. Because I couldn’t connect in the first place, it was really hard to do so in the final battle. And actually, I don’t really like the movie either, so yeah…you’re not alone.
Also, I found the previews completely misleading, so maybe…[Read more]

@Daeus probably because no one else was. XD

@graciegirl Very well. I can certainly understand forgiving a story. I was really brutal with this one. I don’t know why.

@Daeus *chokes* Got it. Point taken. I see what you’re saying. 😛

@kate-flournoy Yes, you’re totally right, but it has nothing to do with yearning. *imagines himself staring attentively at a toad crossing the road*

@Daeus *smirks* Point taken.

@graciegirl 😛

@kate-flournoy Congratulations on connecting with the characters. I think if I could have connected with them earlier on, I probably could have liked them a lot more.

I’ll only argue on one point. Being hopeless and without a cause has nothing to do with whether a character has yearning. Because Harold. *nods sagely*

Ha! Ok, that’s really funny…[Read more]

Oh, and did you notice that the Lies that began both Cassian’s and Jyn’s arc are both passive? For the theme’s sake that was necessary, as they were learning to stand up and do something in the name of hope. That was the whole point.

*tips her hat to you for taking the unpopular opinion*
@Daeus all fair points. I can see what you’re saying, definitely, and in some measure I agree, but it didn’t prevent me connecting to the characters. I thought it was kind of the point that they were all hopeless rebels without a cause. Though I will admit I was intrigued by them more than I…[Read more]
