Chapter Thirteen
The Water Portal
It was a little after sunrise when Professor Lupus led the small company through the mist and the trees of Silverwood Forest. The name was not misleading. It did not have the usual green and brown shades of a forest; everything was silver, and this gave the trees the appearances of gleaming metal towers. Jack gazed around in wonder at the endless clumps of frozen-looking giants as they picked their way through them. In minutes, the professor had led the group through the forest, descended a narrow and winding set of crumbling stone steps, and was now heading in the direction of a dark, deep, and dangerous looking old well. When the boy and his companions surrounded the top of its shaft, Professor Lupus peered inside and pointed out a large network of pipelines at the bottom that could barely be seen through the murky ripples of water.
Jack looked doubtful. “Are you sure about this, Professor? Are you sure this will take us to Ondaria?”
“Why, of course I’m sure! It’s a water portal, Jack!” he replied firmly. Lubo buzzed by his side and whistled his own assurance. “Trust me; it’ll take you to Ondaria. But first thing’s first, Jack. You must first concentrate on navigating your merry way across the Avecco. So remember everything I’ve told you. Stay as close as you can to the ocean floor – and hopefully – with a bit of luck – you won’t be spotted by any of the ocean’s monsters.”
“But what if we are?” Willow said worriedly.
“Then I’m afraid you’ll be eaten, my dear!” the professor replied sharply with a grin. “So best stay clear, I think. Or you’ll be scoffled down quicker than a wonacazzi ice-cream surprise!”
The professor sucked in his cheeks and made a slurping noise, his tongue swinging lef...

... into the concrete abyss in pursuit of his companions. The professor stared after him for a time, the small furzzapian whistling and cheeping by his shoulder.
“Yes, yes, so will I, Lubo,” the professor said in response to his friend’s continuous twittering. “I’ll miss them, too. But we’ve done all we can. It’s up to them now.” He moved away from the well and began making his way towards the crumbling stone steps that would take him back up to his lodge. “I know, Lubo, I’m quite aware of that,” he continued on. “I know they’re our last hope. But I’m afraid they’ll need a bit more than luck down there.” He stopped and broke into a harsh howl of laughter at the furzzapian’s whistling response. “Yes, yes, you’re right, Lubo,” he said, managing just for a moment to bring himself back under control. “It isn’t luck they’ll need down there – it’s a miracle!”
The Parables in Matthew Chapter Thirteen The Parable of the Sower is one of seven parables in Matthew, chapter thirteen that was from familiar ideas and sources, and natural to men. (Broadus, 285) It was normal to see a farmer sowing grain in Galilee. The "truth" is this parable was designed to teach. The varied types of soil are the emphasis in this parable, rather than that of "the sowing of the seed ("word," v.19) of the kingdom." "Jesus called it 'the parable of the sower' because it

see this in the first chapter “As a big man, therefore a machine gunner Henry Dobbins carried the M-60, which weighed 23 pounds unloaded, but which was almost always loaded “(O'Brien.5). In this first encounter O’Briens letting you know the physical strength that Dobbins had. Him being the strongest, tallest, and most feared of the whole group. In the next couple of chapters O’Brien doesn’t really mention nor talk about Dobbins in depth. Then all of sudden in the 10th chapter of the book “stockings”

According to Paul, though, the men haven't entirely lost human sensitivity: they're not as callous as they appeared in Chapter 1, wolfing down their dead companions' rations. It's just that they must pretend to forget the dead; otherwise they would go mad. Remarque includes discussions among Paul's group, and Paul's own thoughts while he observes Russian prisoners of war (Chapters 3, 8, 9) to show that no ordinary people benefit from a war. No matter what side a man is on, he is killing other

uses his novel, The Lost Honour of Katharina Blum, to attack modern journalistic ethics as well as the values of contemporary Germany. The structure of this novel is important to conveying his message. He uses a police report format, differences in chapter lengths, narrator or author intervention, a subtitle, and the extensive use of the 'puddle' metaphor. All these things contribute towards the message in the text. The puddle metaphor is the most significant device used in the structure of the novel

Explain how Golding describes the setting of the novel in chapters 1 and 2 of The Lord of The Flies Golding has a style of contrasting the good things and the bad things about the island in ‘The Lord of The Flies’. The author also describes the setting by using imagery extensively. The author develops a positive ambience of an uninhabited island by giving the island features that the reader knows are more positive than negative. An example of this is when the author describes a cirque

Lord of the Flies Critical Analysis From the beginning of Lord of the Flies by William Golding up until the very last punctuation mark, it is instinctively known that this is one of the very best reads you will ever encounter in your lifetime. This beautifully written piece of work is about a group of British boys whose plane was shot down and the "passenger tube" was released so it could crash land on a jungle. The boys are the first humans to touch this island, and the author describes a "scar"
