7- MEETING THE AVENGERS 2225
When Asgardians decided to go all out, they went all out. He and Loki were surrounded by a dozen guards, who had apparently pulled out their Sunday best. And then dipped it in solid gold. Joining their little parade was some old geezer in elaborately layered robes. The chain of office draped over each of his shoulders was made up of numerous linked plates, surprisingly of engraved black metal rather than Asgard’s ever present gold. The damn plates weren’t small, nor were the softly glowing amber looking stones in the center of each one.

Cabochons.

Yeah? Whatever. But as impressive as the chain part was, it paled in comparison to larger center plate resting on the old dude’s chest, with its correspondingly larger …show more content…

I did say I was working on it. Winter gritted his teeth in irritation, although he would be hard pressed to know just who he was most irritated with at this exact moment, his inner nag or Loki.

Old Geezer, making a noise like a lion trying to hack up a hairball glared at everyone.

“Prince Thor, if you could control your companions, all will be explained. In an orderly manner.”

Ignoring Old Geezer, Thor finally noticed Winter.

“Loki! When did the All Father claim a Wolf? And why is he with you?” The alarm in Thor’s voice was pronounced enough that even Howard’s kid Stark shot the blond a worried look.

“Well now Thor, I suppose that is something you should ask Odin yes? He is after all, the only one with the authority to do so, is he not? As for why he is with me? Really Thor, do you think you are the only prince in Asgard who could swear a warrior to your service? You have four, please don’t begrudge me my one.” Loki sniffed, tipping his head back so he could look down his nose at his brother.

In the old neighborhood, anyone pulling a move like that would have been asking for it.

I can understand why. But I would still have to knee cap ‘em if they tried anything

    Vladek and Guido use their skills and intelligence to endure a genocide that killed over 6 million Jews and 11 million people in total. Although sadly Guido did not make it through the Holocaust, his wife Dora and Son Giosué survived, thanks to the help of Guido. Vladek survived by using his many talents in the prison camps whereas Guido survived by his cunning intelligence and positive attitude. In the Books Maus I and II by Art Spiegelman, the author uses his fathers story of survival to create a book that unleashes vivid imagery of Vladeks time in Auschwitz, in addition to how it has affected him since. In the movie Life Is Beautiful Directed by Roberto Benigni, Guido was an average Jewish man living in Italy. When his family got taken to a Natzi death camp he managed to keep his son Giosué hidden, while doing so he jeopardized his own life. Both of these works display two brave men withstanding the worst race extermination in history.

  • What Is The Theme Of Revenge In The Saga Of The Icelanders

    1490 Words  | 3 Pages

    She said “…here lives Bolli, your brother’s slayer, and not a shred of resemblance do you bear to your great ancestors since you won’t avenge a brother the likes of Kjartan. Never would your grandfather Egil have acted like this, and it grieves me to have such spinless sons. You would have made your father better daughters, to be married off, than sons…I see only too well now that fathering such sons was Olaf’s great failing.” (377). This quote shows not only how important vengeance is to Thorgerd, but how important it was to the past generations and culture as well. Thorgerd also pointed out that the son’s father would be ashamed by them too. The speech and subtle insults convinced Halldor to get his revenge on Bolli so that his father would be proud and future generations wouldn’t think that he would have been better off as a girl.

  • Natural Selection Essay Examples

    498 Words  | 1 Pages

    Natural selection is associated with the phrase “survival of the fittest.” This basically means that the fittest individuals can not only survive, but are also able to leave the most offspring. The selection of phenotypes affects the genotypes. For example, if tall pea plants are favored in the environment, then the tall pea plants would leave more offspring behind, meaning that the offspring will carry tall alleles. Phenotypes that are successful have the best adaptations (characteristics that help an individual to survive and reproduce) to their environment. These adaptation arise from the interactions with living and nonliving aspects of the environment. Some nonliving aspects of the environment are climate, water availability, and concentration of mineral sin the

  • Subsistence Essay

    1601 Words  | 4 Pages

    There has been much debate over whether hunting and gathering is an economic practice for subsistence or whether it is a way of life- a cultural practice. Subsistence methods can rarely be separated from culture- cultural aspects grow, over a span of many years, around the methods people use to survive. Subsistence methods and culture are not mutually exclusive. There are occasional variations depending on the group, location, and time period in question, but this is mostly the case. To illustrate this, examples can be made of Bushmen communities in and around Southern Africa as well as some groups in other parts of the world, in reference to the spiritual beliefs they hold and the art they produce.

  • Thor Compared To Norse Mythology

    947 Words  | 2 Pages

    Loki, portrayed by Tom Hiddleston, is a relatively sadistic and twisted villain who comes across more as an angry and petulant child who has waited, biding their time to hatch a nefarious plan, rather than a mischievous entity. Within the context of our studies, I found him to be more of a trickster than a villain outright, leaving that aspect of him only for the end and climactic buildup with the onset of Ragnarok due to the death of Balder caused by his (Loki) own hands. Balder was also obviously absent from the film and was never mentioned or even hinted at. Of course, there was an artistic liberty taken in the decision making process to change the ethnicity of Heimdall with the casting of Idris Elba. While I didn't fully understand why, with maybe the exception about it being a strictly business perspective in Hollywood, he must have "read" well for the casting of the character.

  • Essay On Food Waste

    1295 Words  | 3 Pages

    Food waste is defined by food that is lost, wasted, or discarded and is caused through a few different processes. Food is wasted through many different ways at farms, grocery stores, and in homes. Over 40% of the food in the United States, specifically, goes to waste and 97% percent of this waste goes straight to landfills. The main issue with food waste is that the majority of food is being wasted unnecessarily. In stores, food is often thrown out because it does not meet specific standards that dictate what may be desirable to consumers. This issue of food picking is important as foods are not always being thrown away because they have gone bad, but because they have appearances that do not seem attractive. If we hope to lessen the environmental impact we have as a result of the mass
