Merlin Entertainments, for example, regularly employ intellectual property for the main purpose of marketing an attraction, as opposed to using a franchise to open new doors in terms of creativity in a built environment. Originally penned as ‘Project Dylan’, Thorpe Park’s ‘SAW- The Ride’ opened in the spring of 2009, with the horror-themed property only being licensed near the end of the design phase. ‘Project Dylan’ was designed to resemble a run-down saw mill, with a facade of rusted, corrugated

Xbalanque and Hunaphu then use deceitful actions in order to attain their ideal goal of defeating One
Much can happen over the course of two years. Arthur and Guinevere now know everything Merlin had done (or attempted to do) for them during the years he hid his magic. It was a gradual, seemingly endless process, because just when Merlin thought he had remembered everything, he would remember something else. Similarly, the final detail of Guinevere's enchantment came to light quite unexpectedly one evening. Merlin had been meeting with the king and queen in the royal chambers, and as he was leaving
“What do you say to a game or two of old maid?” Arthur looked up from the screws and cogs he had been playing with, and nodded toward the man descending down the stairs. “You can’t lock yourself down here forever, it must not be healthy with only the dust for company” Alfred said as he sat down on the wooden floor in front of Arthur. He picked up a pack of cards on the ground and began to clumsily shuffle the cards. Silence was the only thing that greeted his ears, enveloping . He took out the queen
Synthesis Essay Throughout the Arthurian Legends there are many characters with unique values that all contribute to the story in a meaningful way. However, these characters seem to change and develop with time as different authors rewrite the Arthurian legends. Morgan is one of the most famous female characters within the legends because she is King Arthur’s half sister who is often being mischievous and trying to seek revenge on him and his wife Queen Guinevere.

relations with his half-sister resulting in a child then, to further his wicked deeds, he ordered all of the noble’s children to be killed at the hands of the sea (Ackroyd, 2011). He did this because he feared his own child due to a prophecy foretold by Merlin predicting the child will bring about the end of his rule and the destruction of his kingdom (Ackroyd, 2011; Coghlan, 1995).

his tale also combines a quest for holy things (eldilic help through Merlin) to heal the sickness of the land with a great, climactic battle against evil, thus merging the two characters' functions as well as their attributes. Also, as in earlier versions of the story, the Pendragon disappears after his final battle is completed, and the crowning conflict itself takes place in a dense fog which obscures everything. When Merlin arrives, his full name is given as Merlinus Ambrosius, the name he

While he was certain of his diagnosis, it was nearly impossible to estimate how far the disease had spread within Rodor's body. It could be weeks or it could be months. Due to the king's tenacity, he might very well outlive Gaius himself. "I really can't say. Did you tell him about the things we spoke of last night?"

The Influence of British/Celtic Myths and Figures in Haydn Middleton's Lie of the Land The following is a list of explications pointing towards British and Celtic myths and figures. While pursuing the Celtic influences of Middleton's novel, I found myself searching for the meaning of other present mysteries.
