The village before them was made up of various sized buildings on the meeting of two valleys, the buildings in this village like in many others seemed to grown from the ground itself and were covered with vine thatched roofs. The pair spotted the elf had who guided them, standing at the centre of the village speaking to another elf, which looked over at them as they approached Hunter smirked as he recognized the elf as Velendria. Velendria like all elves had youthful appearance, but her brown eyes much like Hunter's made her look older than she appeared. Velendria's hair was long and blonde and kept in tail; she came just short of Hunter. However, this did not stop her looking very intimidating when she wanted to. Velendria like other rangers always wore her traditional armour, it was brown and green in colour so it matched with the trees around them, as captain Velendria's armour was a sleeveless chest piece and fingerless gloves. “Your late,” she said as Hunter got closer, “but I am very glad to see you my friend,” she then bowed her head slightly as Hunter did in return, “Glendale is trouble and..." “How can this place be in trouble?” Ozwin asked looking up at her, “seriously it is an invisible village...why is the village invisible?" “Ozwin remember what I told you about the elves and dwarves," Hunter said quietly as he gestured to the elves along the edges of the valley, "but perhaps Velendria can explain the shrouding to you?” "Certainty,” she said then looked down at Ozwin “in order to protect our people during a time if war, our ancestors once masters of magic developed these," Velendria gestured to the crystals that sat on a pillar behind her. "It is far better than living out of caravans and always travelling around.” “W... ... middle of paper ... ...let’s not forget one tried to eat me.” “I grew up In Drakes Fall, which is basically the home of the dragons,” Hunter said as pulled on his gauntlets, “so I can assure that dragons will never harm a soul...” “...hold on there are dragons in Drakes Fall ok we are so not going there,” said Ozwin as tied on his leg plates and greaves, “and on another note, how did V know this armour would fit, they don’t exactly have tubby soldiers do they?” Hunter simply chuckled as put on his cloak, “do remind me to take you to Ironhammer one day," he replied, as he put on his belt, “well when you’re ready, we got a lesson to teach these trolls." Hunter and Ozwin picked up their weapons and left the hut and into the chaos of troll warfare they stood looking around a moment as the elves and trolls stood fighting...but the trolls seemed to be more interested in searching the buildings.
"But they seem to know where they are going, the ones who walk away from Omelas."
4. After Margaret and Mrs. Whatsit went through it they arrive in a beautiful village.
We see a prosperous environment with “plentiful natural-gas resources,” “good-looking establishment[s],” and “born gamblers.” The writer shocks the reader by this severely dichotomous picture. Through that, the audience is kept “on their toes” eagerly waiting for any acute surprises this village might bring. This contrast serves the writer’s purpose by highlighting the differences of both the insider and outsider perspectives. Those same ‘lazy’ villagers are now successful businessmen, those banks that were almost falling to the ground are now flourishing with great amounts of wealth, and those institutions that were crumbling down to the floor are now top-tier schools. The change in perspective also highlights that the villagers are modest, close-knit, and isolationists. The like their village the way it is and so they shun away any outside intervention. They are also smart and thoughtful. Being in the midst of the Great Depression in the early 30s, they have kept this low-profile of seeming poverty and disgrace. They have relied entirely on their own resources to get out of the financial crisis (implying that they had suffered from it in the first place). The writer through showing this contrast is confessing a misstep that he committed when he first came to the village. A mistake that we, as his readers, were also made to commit: the faux pas of assumption. Capote when he first came down to the village was fooled by the concealing ornament. His whole two first paragraphs are nothing but a testament to the villagers’ ability: a pat on the back, a congratulation, an acknowledgment... The villagers are, in the writer’s eyes, masters of disguise. To report on their art as genuinely and as accurately as possible, he took us through a drawn-out description of both the outside and inside perspectives. It was all for the goal of giving their masterpiece the justice it
and the settlement set up will include a meeting house, a village commons, large open lots which is very large and it contains kitchens and places where animals are kept and agricultural highland. The highlands were beautiful fields divided into segments and planting and harvesting were done together as a family.

The opening credits continue to roll as the camera glides over a lush green, hilly landscape, accented by late afternoon silhouettes of the partial cloud cover, and perhaps best described by Carolyn James in her review as “picturesque in the manner of an Irish Spring soap commercial”. Gradually, what we assume to be a late 19th century Irish village comes into view, characterized by a handful of rudimentary stone buildings, narrow carriage roads, and stone walls. The camera view switches to brief shot of the street level in the village, the music replaced by the bustle of the everyday activities of the townspeople, before taking us into the local pub. It should be noted here that from street level, this village does not much resemble the romantic vision of the same village provided by the aerial shot. Even in such a short shot, the village appears more urban than it probably should, and if not for the natural light, would not differ greatly from the scenes of urban Boston later in the film.
From the beginning of the story the village is described in a dull and bland manner. The village was described to be made up of only twen...
The Village is an interesting film that tells a tale of a small settlement in Pennsylvania. The villagers adore their tradition and respect the wishes of their ancestors. Ivy and Lucius are the stars of the story, who portray the aspect of social change in a captivating manner. Ivy came from a humble background, while Lucius' family was far much better economically. Despite this fact, the two fell in love with one another from an early age. On the contrary, Noah liked Ivy, and he planned to kill Lucius in the quest of winning Ivy's love. Through these characters, the author portrays sociological aspects that mirror the situation in contemporary societies.
"There is no point in fighting us!" Each one shouted, clearly rehearsing it a few times beforehand. "Your precious Peacekeeper will be dead within minutes! Join us and see what wonders await for you outside of these boarders!"
“I know, but you look so lovely in my castle and your presence is overwhelming.” Pluto said.
“Very well, but if your master would like to join me and my knights on our quest, the rewards would be much greater than a mere fifteen dollars.”
The movie “The Village” was written and directed by M. Night Shyamalan and released July 26, 2004. The movie is about a group of friends who experience a tragic death of someone who was close to them all. They moved deep into the woods and started a whole new life with their kids. They made up a myth about creatures on the outside of their village to keep everyone in and also away from the town near bye. The movie maker of the film used conflict, imagery, sound, and symbolism to give their audience a true feeling and to keep their audience engaged.
