This makes me wonder why the author did that. It could make a very crazy series. It would also change Ragnarok greatly for all the Vikings. Percy Jackson and the Greeks along with the Romans would dominate the war. It could also cause conflict between the two groups. That would be disastrous if they went into war. Even worse, the gods could fight. That would destroy many, many things. ]]> 2018-05-08 18:31:41 UTC https://padlet.com/23_fickenat/14uexh0c4yeg/wish/259045104 Narcissus 23_fickenat https://padlet.com/23_fickenat/14uexh0c4yeg/wish/260040276 Narcissus makes the theme of the story which is to think about others and not just your self. Narcissus is very arrogant cares only about himself. The nymph echo loved Narcissus so much that she followed him everywhere. When Narcissus was mean to Echo and clearly expressed that he hated everyone else except himself, Echo committed suicide. Narcissus was then shown his reflection and he fell in love with himself. He died because he couldn't stop hitting on himself. The whole entire theme of the myth is based off of Narcissus being arrogant and self-centered. This is a very powerful lesson and most teenagers starting to become like Narcissus might get a wake-up call from the fairy tale and that is probably why we read it in class.]]> 2018-05-11 17:58:27 UTC https://padlet.com/23_fickenat/14uexh0c4yeg/wish/260040276 Rikki Tikki tavi 23_fickenat https://padlet.com/23_fickenat/14uexh0c4yeg/wish/261598140 While reading the story. I thought that the character trait rikki tikki showed the most was bravery. The text says,"He was afraid for the minute; but it is impossible for a mongoose to stay frightened for any length of time, and though Rikki-tikki had never met a live cobra before, his mother had fed him on dead ones, and he knew that all a grown mongoose's business in life was to fight and eat snakes. Nag knew that too, and at the bottom of his cold heart he was afraid.
``Well,'' said Rikki-tikki, and his tail began to fluff up again, ``marks or no marks, do you think it is right for you to eat fledglings out of a nest?''" This shows how Rikki tikki is very brave in fighting standing up to Nag. If Rikki Tikki wasn't brave then the cobras would've killed all the people living in the house.

This may mean that they are connected somehow. This makes sense because they are in the same floor of Valhalla. This makes me wonder what that could do later on in the story to Magnus. The new person is a son of Loki and Loki is leading the giants and getting them ready to start doomsday. This could mean that the son is helping Loki and trying to get Magnus to switch sides and help the Giants.]]> 2018-05-20 11:46:14 UTC https://padlet.com/23_fickenat/14uexh0c4yeg/wish/262167548 Hammer of thor pg 31-43 15 minutes may 4 23_fickenat https://padlet.com/23_fickenat/14uexh0c4yeg/wish/262170823 This image shows of powerful Thor and his hammer are. His enemies are stumbling and turning around to run away because they are scared of Thor's hammer. This makes me think about what those enemies would be doing if Thor didn't have his hammer. It would be a disaster because everyone is cared of Thor's hammer because thor his nothing without it. This brings me back to the book and helps me realize how important it his for Magnus to get Mjolner back for Thor and save everyone so the giants don't rush in and start the end of the world]]> 2018-05-20 12:42:42 UTC https://padlet.com/23_fickenat/14uexh0c4yeg/wish/262170823 Hammer of Thor 43-74 40 minutes May 19 23_fickenat https://padlet.com/23_fickenat/14uexh0c4yeg/wish/262227061 While reading this story, I noticed a memory moment. Magnus after being killed in Valhalla always has dreams when he is resurrected. While he is dreaming, he goes to his uncle Randolph worst memory ever. When his wife and children were killed in an ocean storm. This makes me wonder why that memory may be important to the story and why the author chose to include it. It makes me wonder if it is meant for Magnus to have sorrow for Randolph. This would make sense because Loki could be putting the dream there to make Magnus feel bad for his uncle and start to trust and help him. This could then help Loki who is controlling Randolph and cause Magnus to be betrayed by Randolph and destroy everything. ]]> 2018-05-21 00:09:23 UTC https://padlet.com/23_fickenat/14uexh0c4yeg/wish/262227061
