A child like the narrator, untainted by the world, is prone to encounter the beings pictured below who make enchantment happen. Humans call it enchantment (an illusion or hallucination) but these otherworldly beings call it reality. ]]> 2021-03-20 01:43:03 UTC https://padlet.com/kalva093/pxollion3nniq7wd/wish/1331844943 kalva093 https://padlet.com/kalva093/pxollion3nniq7wd/wish/1331851556 The narrator unconsciously sought a portal of death-- an intersection where the living and dead meet. The Diviners were right-- the protagonist was "dead". Like the story depicts, in this world, the narrator has no need to drink, eat, or sleep. A soul does not need this, after all; which is why for three days he goes on without these necessities, only feeling these human needs when he's home. ]]> 2021-03-20 01:50:29 UTC https://padlet.com/kalva093/pxollion3nniq7wd/wish/1331851556 kalva093 https://padlet.com/kalva093/pxollion3nniq7wd/wish/1331910990 A physical enchantment is present, where a woman is transformed into a man overnight. This photo depicts a woman with a man stemming (deriving) from her. Behind them is a sky and the moon (represented by a circle).]]> 2021-03-20 02:58:31 UTC https://padlet.com/kalva093/pxollion3nniq7wd/wish/1331910990 kalva093 https://padlet.com/kalva093/pxollion3nniq7wd/wish/1331911433 In the story, like the woman, the protagonist is enchanted. He slowly comes to enjoy and arguably love the man she becomes, but does not understand why. When she's a man, he goes under a spell, better described in the story as a daze. This photo depicts them enjoying their time together, like they did in the story, despite the shocking transformation. I imagine the first man being the protagonist and the second man being her (despite the second man not fitting the description). ]]> 2021-03-20 02:58:58 UTC https://padlet.com/kalva093/pxollion3nniq7wd/wish/1331911433 kalva093 https://padlet.com/kalva093/pxollion3nniq7wd/wish/1331912371 This photo depicts passion and confusion, which is what the narrator feels. The picture is abstract (representing the narrator's daze when his lover is enchanted) while the image of two men kissing represents the actual transformation (enchantment/ spell) that the woman goes through, in which he learns to love.]]> 2021-03-20 03:00:09 UTC https://padlet.com/kalva093/pxollion3nniq7wd/wish/1331912371 kalva093 https://padlet.com/kalva093/pxollion3nniq7wd/wish/1331932773 This picture depicts the actual events described in the story. However, enchantment is showcased not only through the floating heart, representing a superior being and especially the concept of creation (the heart is the beginning of a man), but also by the man sleeping and dreaming said creation. ]]> 2021-03-20 03:25:13 UTC https://padlet.com/kalva093/pxollion3nniq7wd/wish/1331932773 kalva093 https://padlet.com/kalva093/pxollion3nniq7wd/wish/1331933443 This photo depicts fire-- a superior being--bringing reality and dreams together through the process of destruction, death, and mercy (not killing the man). Enchantment is portrayed through the overwhelming process of creation, its trials, and consequences.]]> 2021-03-20 03:26:08 UTC https://padlet.com/kalva093/pxollion3nniq7wd/wish/1331933443 kalva093 https://padlet.com/kalva093/pxollion3nniq7wd/wish/1331934696 This photo emphasizes that creation is simply men dreaming of men, hoping the creation surpasses the previous. Men is not aware that they're created (dreamed; unreal) until their end-- death or chaos. ]]> 2021-03-20 03:27:43 UTC https://padlet.com/kalva093/pxollion3nniq7wd/wish/1331934696
