A:
- While the earthly father figures are flawed, the King of Elfland is an idealized father figure]]> 2018-02-15 19:48:08 UTC https://padlet.com/jbucci2019/60974utn0e1n/wish/232120281 Group 4 https://padlet.com/jbucci2019/60974utn0e1n/wish/232120396 Q: Why did the King decide to open Elfland borders to all of Erl instead of just Alveric? What points from the article back up your answer? 

A: There were elements of Earth that Lirazel was charmed by along with her desire to be reunited with her family. He wanted to please her.

A: Erl has a set of traditions that they adhere to, congregational setting.
Elfland is more spiritually "churchlike" but not structurally so. They aren't materialist or trivial with their desires.]]> 2018-02-15 19:48:22 UTC https://padlet.com/jbucci2019/60974utn0e1n/wish/232120399 Group 1 https://padlet.com/jbucci2019/60974utn0e1n/wish/232120409 Q: How would the story have been different if Orion had not been so ‘on-the-fence’ about choosing between Elfland and Erl? 

A: The story would have had less appeal because a major internal conflict would have been absent

Lose the duality of the cultures

Orion is the middle ground between Lirazel (in Elfland longing for Erl) and Alveric (in Erl longing for Elfland)
