Aboard the Galactic Federation medical frigate Redemption, Samus Aran lays in dormancy, still incapacitated from the injury she sustained on Anadyr V. Her suit is removed; the laser blast from the Crimson Hunters fighter damaged her suit badly enough that she had to be removed from it while it is being repaired. Corporal Preston stands in the viewing section of the medical facility, watching Samus while medical personnel worked on her suit. As Samus rests, a vision sweeps over her mind. Within seconds, she finds herself as a ghost inside a large cavern. Gleaming blue light emits from a large dome-like structure in the middle of the cavern. Statues of Alimbic origin are garnished throughout the mystical cavern. Confused, Samus calls out to anyone that could be with her. “Hello? Where am I? Is anybody-“ “No need to shout Samus.” A lone male voice says. Samus turns to where the voice is coming from; it is the spirit of Ron Wyatt. “Samus, a crisis is about to unfold across the galaxies. The same tyrant who murdered my physical self is on a hunt for the sacred Valley of the Alimbics, the burial grounds for every Alimbic being that disappeared the fateful day Gorea was unleashed. The power from the Oubliette is trapped in this valley. Dark Samus, as you know, a stickler, will stop at nothing to find this power-rich cemetery. The power in the Valley of the Alimbics is so substantial, that if one were to absorb its maximum energy, one could destroy a star at will; ravage a planet with a whisper, or slaughter civilizations with the snap of his fingers. This is why Dark Samus must be forestalled at all costs. She must be obliterated to save others from obliteration.” A white flash blinds Samus, and she awoke in her bed for the fi... ... middle of paper ... ...nd a shelf. The figures open fire on the safe. Fast purple-white beams, crimson red shots, and yellow energy spikes smash the safe until it is significantly weakened. The second figure rips the safe open, and the third figure reaches in, retrieving a map to an unknown planet. He reaches back in, noticing a green glow. He ignores the object omitting the glow and plants a charge inside the safe to destroy the entire workshop. The figures escape the shop. Samus slides down a rocky cliff towards a vantage point. She activates her scanner, identifying the homestead. However, she also identifies a shuttle lifting off from the vicinity of the homestead. The unknown shuttle takes off and flies in her direction over the mountains, and Samus watches helplessly as it exits the area, unaware that the figures in the shuttle were after the map to the Valley of the Alimbics.
Throughout his book, Ayers proves his thesis well. He creates a compelling narrative support with evidence taken from The Valley of the Shadow archive. As explained in the previous pa...
... in that barren hall with its naked stair... rising into the dim upper hallway where an echo spoke which was not mine ut rather that of the lost irrevocable might-have-been which haunts all houses, all enclosed walls erected by human hands, not for shelter, not for warmth, but to hide from the world's curious looking and seeing the dark turnings which the ancient young delusions of pride and hope and ambition (ay, and love too) take.
The cavern is personified as a yawning mouth. This makes sense because the cave is a large, gaping hole similar to a wide open mouth.
“Yeah, I’ve known him since I was a little girl. He was a friend of my mother’s as well,” replied Cassi. She looked as if she had just seen a ghost. “Do you think he knows what’s going on?”
...ey think and believe it is filled with gods. Same as Allegory of the Cave, the people in the cave see the shadows as reality, when they are just puppets. They also do not know of true light and where the shadows originate.
Plato’s, Allegory of The Cave, is a dialogue between his teacher, Socrates, and his brother, Glaucon, where Socrates dissects what is required to have a good life. During this dialogue Socrates illustrates a scenario where humans grow up in cave deep in the ground, strapped down like prisoners so that they can only face the wall front of them. On this wall there are shadows being casted
According to the allegory, the cave represents the ordinary world of society. Similar to the cave, the ordinary world of society consists of conventional thinking, truths, and beliefs. Therefore, this ordinary world is inhabited with ordinary individuals-prisoners- who don’t take the time to analyze and question their realities. While the cave represents current ordinary societies, the shadows represent a distorted version of the truth. Like the prisoners in the cave, individuals in the ordinary world are exposed to different and distorted versions of the truth that shadow the actual truth.
The ghost, however, loses little time in effecting a more solid manifestation, as a young woman runaway whom Sethe shelters, and by whom she comes to be dominated. She gives up her job to be with Beloved and while the girl ghost thrives, she and Denver are reduced to near starvation. It is only when Denver dares to come out of her isolation and invoke the help of the rest of her black community that Beloved can be sent back to her grave and Sethe and Paul D. reunited.
In restless sleep and longing for contact with those outside of Bly-- particularly her employer-- the governess placed hope in chance meetings of random individuals. In her walk in the yard, the governess began to wish for the sight of her employer who she was still madly in love with. The governess's desire to see him and receive his reassuring approval conceived the ghost of what was later revealed to be Peter Quint she believed she had seen. Later in her climax of interaction with her ghosts, the governess is afraid that the master will come home, for she is fearful of what he will think of her.
Representing knowledge, the light is too brilliant for him to see and comprhend. He must be re-educated. "First he will see the shadows best, next the reflections of the men and other objects? then the objects themselves" (Jacobus 317). He learns that the reflections are truer than shadows and the objects truer than reflections. He must deal with a new reality that does not exist within the cave.
To awaken the unconsciousness one must experience reality and develop new senses. The cave overall incorporates the idea of a movie theatre, where individuals watch life unfold on a screen, with no knowledge or desire to want to know who is playing the movie; only to sit in the darkness and watch the screen. Many of us take what they see in the movie as reality, not distinguishing between, story and fantasy; soon they begin to behave like the characters in the movie. For instance the twil...

...lost and is a mythical heaven. This woman is described as Abyssinian. Abyssinian literally refers to the inhabitants of a place in Northern Africa, but use of word “Abyssinian” also implies the word “abyss”. The speaker must revive the heavenly song, sung by the maid, inside himself to “build that dome in the air.” Just as the sacred river from the abyss makes possible of the creation of Kubla, the heavenly song of the Abyssinian makes possible the creation of the speaker’s “pleasure dome”. The speaker then speculates on reaction of people over his creation. He states that “all should cry, Beware, Beware!/ His flashing eyes his floating hair/Weave a Circle round him thrice/ And close your eyes with holy dread,”. The reaction of awe and terror that people have to the speaker’s heavenly vision demonstrates the power that the speaker feels is contained in that vision.
As I walk even farther down the winding trail, I can see the cabin in the distance. It appears as if the sun is only shining on the cabin itself. As I get closer, I get the redolence of home made apple pie. This is the exact moment that I forgot about everything else that existed and began to wonder, “Am I still on Earth?”
“And he said that meens Im doing something grate for sience and Ill be famus and my name will go down in the books.
