The Arkenstone of 'The Hobbit' and the Silmarils in 'The Silmarillion,' are keys of difference. The Silmarils, made by waylorn smith Feanor, catch the light from the Two Trees of Valinor, cannot be broken by no power on plain earth. But the Arkenstone was found in earth, can be cut and has no literal glow of divinity. Good legend, too!

They were as tough as plain gravel but gold seemed soft to them, indeed their hard handhold was good only for a little while. The Arkenstone being found in rock and hewn just like any other gem. Also, it should be noted that they say in "The Silmarillion" two of the three brilliant Silmarils ended up settled in places out of reach–in sky or else deep inside planet Earth. And the third one was cast into middle ocean where it vanished forevermore.

So, the result of finding one gem that lay between them in the halls of Erabor is surely questionable. The Arkenstone might have been a different jewel entirely, quite different in beauty and elegance but equally captivating for dwarfs as were the fabled Silmarils.

Discussing Tolkien's gems, aren't they fascinating?! Tempting to imagine that the Arkenstone, the heart of the mountain in 'The Hobbit', could be one of the lost Silmarils from 'The Silmarillion'. That'd be an epic crossover, right? But, I think not, mate. Remember, the three Silmarils were unique, unbreakable jewels crafted by Feanor, containing the divine light of the Two Trees of Valinor. On the contrary, the Arkenstone was unearthed in the Lonely Mountain and was able to be cut, polished, and shaped - which wouldn't be possible if it were a Silmaril. Moreover, according to lore, the Silmarils are meant to be gone from the world, hidden in the sky, the earth's fiery core, and the ocean until the end of days.

So in my opinion, it's unlikely the Arkenstone is a Silmaril, but it's undoubtedly a thematic echo, a kind of homage to the allure and drama of the Silmarils!

What character dynamics in 'Still Me' resemble those in 'Me Before You'?

2 answers2025-04-03 18:16:40
Reading 'Still Me' and 'Me Before You' back-to-back, I couldn’t help but notice the recurring themes of personal growth and resilience in Louisa Clark’s character. In 'Me Before You,' Louisa starts as a somewhat aimless young woman who takes a job as a caregiver for Will, a quadriplegic man. Their relationship is transformative, pushing her to see the world differently and embrace life’s possibilities. Similarly, in 'Still Me,' Louisa is navigating a new chapter in New York City, trying to balance her identity with the expectations of others. The dynamic between Louisa and her employer, Agnes, mirrors her relationship with Will in that both challenge her to grow. Agnes, like Will, is a strong, independent figure who pushes Louisa out of her comfort zone, forcing her to confront her insecurities and aspirations. Another parallel is the theme of love and sacrifice. In 'Me Before You,' Louisa’s love for Will is intertwined with the painful reality of his choices, teaching her about selflessness and acceptance. In 'Still Me,' her relationship with Ambulance Sam is tested by distance and differing life goals, echoing the emotional complexity of her bond with Will. Both stories explore how love can be both uplifting and heartbreaking, shaping Louisa into a more self-aware and compassionate person. The supporting characters in both books also play crucial roles in her journey, offering guidance, humor, and perspective. These dynamics make both novels deeply emotional and relatable, showcasing Jojo Moyes’ talent for crafting characters that feel real and resonant.

Ah, naming boys, that's quite the task indeed. For those partial to Japanese influence, consider 'Haruto', reminiscent of our favorite 'Naruto'. If into Greek mythology, 'Perseus' is a strong, unique name. Fans of 'Game of Thrones' might lean towards 'Aegon'. Western comic enthusiasts could be intrigued by 'Bruce', harkening back to Batman's Bruce Wayne. Lastly, 'Tobin' could appeal to those attached to 'The Walking Dead' video game.

A bonkey donkey is literally a mix between a donkey and a monkey. It's this weird, fun concept that combines the traits of both animals—imagine a playful donkey swinging from trees or doing silly antics like a monkey! They represent the joy of imagination where the peculiar becomes possible. It makes me smile envisioning how such a creature would behave, just full of energy and mischief!

why did kuzan join blackbeard

3 answers2025-01-15 05:32:03
However, in Kuzan joining up with Blackbeard though the manga says nothing about how a man of his character got on board a notorious pirate's ship we must assume that there are reasons for him joining and they will probably be selfish reasons rather than villainous ones. After leaving the Navy, his sense of justice is still there. Torturing people is not 'Justice'. It might be a secret operation, or one to keep an eye on Blackbeard or else to navigate around some bigger plot altogether. But we don't know that yet. We can only watch and see how Mr. Oda untangles these tangly threads.

Is dragon ball gt canon

4 answers2024-12-04 00:14:52
Let's be fair, the canon status of 'Dragon Ball GT' is not all that clear. The original creator of the Dragon Ball series, Akira Toriyama, didn't do much work on 'Dragon Ball GT'. Generally speaking, fans turn their noses up at it because it is noncannon - in part since it cannot be reconciled with shenlong and the general story as told in the original manga so far. On the other hand, there are some fans, as well as Toei Animation (the company behind the anime) and contrary that claim it is again usable as another continuity altogether although. To put it however you want, which side are you on?

What are the major technological elements in cinder novel?

1 answers2025-04-21 04:09:59
The technological elements in 'Cinder' are what make the story so gripping for me. The world-building is steeped in a futuristic, cyberpunk aesthetic, where advanced tech is both a blessing and a curse. Cinder herself is a cyborg, and her mechanical parts are a constant reminder of her societal status—she’s seen as less than human because of them. The way her prosthetic leg and hand are described isn’t just about functionality; they’re symbolic of her resilience and the prejudice she faces. The novel doesn’t shy away from exploring how technology can dehumanize people, especially when it’s used to label and segregate. Another major element is the androids. They’re everywhere in New Beijing, serving as workers, assistants, and even companions. But they’re not just background props; they play a crucial role in the plot. Cinder’s ability to repair and reprogram them sets her apart and becomes a key part of her identity. The androids also highlight the ethical dilemmas of artificial intelligence. Are they just machines, or do they have some form of consciousness? The novel doesn’t give easy answers, but it makes you think about the implications of creating life-like machines. Then there’s the plague, which is a terrifying blend of biological and technological threats. The disease is incurable, and the desperate search for a cure drives much of the story. The way the plague is tied to Cinder’s own biology adds another layer of complexity. It’s not just a random illness; it’s deeply connected to the technological advancements of this world. The idea that the very thing that makes Cinder unique—her cyborg enhancements—could also be the key to saving humanity is both ironic and compelling. Lastly, the Lunar technology introduced through Queen Levana’s people is fascinating. Their ability to manipulate bioelectricity and control minds is a stark contrast to the more mechanical tech of Earth. It’s a reminder that technology isn’t neutral; it’s shaped by the values and intentions of those who wield it. The Lunar tech is both awe-inspiring and horrifying, and it adds a layer of tension to the story. The clash between Earth’s mechanical advancements and Luna’s biological manipulation creates a rich, layered world that feels both futuristic and deeply human.
