Astrology in modern sci fi and fantasy literature

Why is it, when so many fantasy novels are put in a Medieval setting, and astrology was so common in that era, that it is virtually ignored as a plot device? And yet magic, a practice quite possibly less common, is such a common practice in these works? As part of a webinar at Kepler College, Lee discusses this curious dichotomy.

Multicultural literature

A fantasy children picture boook was written by Lin-Chieh(Nick)Huang. The reason why I wrote this story is that America becomes more diversity. Some children who are Taiwanese-Americans, Chinese-Americans may not speak English very well and do not know how to make friends. I hope this story can help them overcome or find their own ways to solve the problems. ^ ^

Oh the irony of Snow's battle. In order to avoid getting destroyed by his ultimate MAX attack you need to provoke him with SEN users, b/c he gains power by attacking the same character repetitively.

A fantasy: portal to oxford

This video was filmed during my summer abroad trip in Oxford, England, and submitted as my final project for the fantasy literature course taught by UCD instructor John Stenzel. The goal of this project was to depict British lifestyle in a creative and innovative way that incorporated the academic aspect of the trip, which was primarily based on the following seven books: Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, The Wind in the Willows, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, The Fellowship of the Ring, The Golden Compass, The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, and Howl's Moving Castle. The story: A girl accidentally stumbles into The City of Dreaming Spires through a wardrobe (does that sound eerily familiar?) and she spends the day running around town, exploring the pleasures and delicacies of Oxford. Hints of the seven books are sprinkled throughout this video, as well as some few depictions of the British lifestyle. Some are quite obvious while others are more subtle; see if you can spot them! Special thanks to Nicolette Bocolam, for without her generous assistance, this video would not have happened. ***WARNING: NOTES/SPOILERS*** Here is a list with scene references to the books + notable culture references: -Takes place in the City of Oxford (where part of The Golden Compass takes place) - Nicolette steps out of the wardrobe (The Lion, the Witch, and the Warddrobe), wearing her Hogwarts uniform - Her curiosity to explore is inspired by Alice's curiosity.

Grendel -- john gardner | track 1 of 8

Grendel Unabridged. Author - Gardner, John Narrator -Guidall, George. Publication: Prince Frederick, MD Recorded Books, 1997. Subject: Beowulf--Adaptations. Audiobooks. Monsters--Fiction; Fantasy Duration: 5 Hours 30 Minutes Product ID: 126221 EISBN: 9781417572649 ISBN: 9781402551109 Grendel (1971) A novel by John Gardner Awards Mythopoeic Fantasy Award for Adult Literature (nominee) From the Publisher World renowned critic John Gardner has received prestigious awards for his wide range of literary achievements including short stories, novels, and essays. When he turns his talents to retelling Beowulf, the earliest epic in British literature, the result is a work that combines extensive knowledge with a marvelous strain of pure fun. In Gardnerís version of the epic, instead of lauding the helmeted hero, Beowulf, the spotlight shines on Grendel, a beast whose grotesque body and blood thirst condemn him to the life of an outlaw. Grendel is a horrible monster. He greedily gobbles up warriors in the Danish mead hall guarded by Beowulf. But within Grendel lurks a soul that delights in dark humor, dramatic pirouettes and pranks. Both young adult and adult listeners will revel in this powerful complement to a classic tale. George Guidallís narration captures a surreal landscape that shimmers on the other side of the original epicís heroic mirror. What we see is that thereís a little bit of Grendel living is each of us.
