Or,...1. Rosie is distinctly more stubborn than Una. Or, rather, in different ways, and Rose Red grew up seeing the Dragon every single night, so she knows him much better. Combine that with the fact that Rose Red is not mortal, and she came back of her own free will, which I think might have had something to do with how well she withstood the Dragon, and you get the difference.<br /><br />2. I think that she is partially right, because, though his presence caused a lot of fear to be drifting through the air, people hate what they cannot understand. I think that people would have despised Rose Red and thought of her as a monster whether he was present or not.<br /><br />3. I think he does love to take off her veil to make her vulnerable before him, and also to say, "Look how much I love you; I can even look at your face." I think he sees a prize to be won, and perhaps nothing else.<br /><br />4. I read it many years ago for school, and can't remember it very clearly. <br /><br />5. All of them? xP<br /><br />And the Name sprang to her mouth. She did not speak it, but it rested there on her tongue, ready. Its presence, even unspoken, filled her heart, relieved her spirit, and she breathed fresh air once more. When she opened her eyes, the Dragon was gone.<br /><br />Kira Thomashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01068911623966107135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7102067376746188002.post-84166248516071418762013-12-27T14:30:15.405-05:002013-12-27T14:30:15.405-05:001.

Rose Red, even though she might be afraid acts bravely before the dragon.<br /><br />2. Rose Red is right that the Dragon is the mountain monster.<br /><br />3. I think it has something to do with her identity. He sees her true form.<br /><br />4. No, I have not read Orpheus and Eurydice.<br /><br />5. The half-light never altered. When Rose Red entered the kitchen, it looked exactly as she had left it, dim and melancholy.<br /><br />CaitlynAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7102067376746188002.post-6246928658033722112013-12-25T23:54:00.132-05:002013-12-25T23:54:00.132-05:001.

However, Una didn't know much of who the Dragon was and how he thought, while Rosie grew up listening to his words in her dreams and has a better idea of who/what he is and how his mind operates.<br /><br />2. I think she is partially right here, but not totally.<br /><br />3. He already knows who and what she is, and likely sees her true appearance. the absence of her veil might be a sign of her own vulnerability to his poisons, of her starting to succumb to them.<br /><br />5. "Rose Red stared into his black eyes, into the fires deep inside. She would scorch in them, she knew. With an effort, she turned away."<br /><br />5.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13684809766255483648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7102067376746188002.post-86945117531354869362013-12-25T23:31:39.566-05:002013-12-25T23:31:39.566-05:00MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYBODY

He already knows who and what she is. Plus, she can't really hide it from him.<br /><br />4. Vaguely. Only because my sister mentioned it to me (she really enjoys Greek mythology).

Both of them are stubborn and believe that eventually, someone will come kill the Dragon and save them. However, the dragon poison obviously preyed on Una much more than on Rose Red, and Una was held captive, whereas Rose Red came of her own will.<br />2. I think she's partially right, but not completely. <br />3. Maybe that we can't hide from our fears and from our Enemy? I'm pretty sure that he sees who she is- and he hates it.Sarah Penningtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06377945004067760298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7102067376746188002.post-24994728098896941582013-12-25T10:38:16.830-05:002013-12-25T10:38:16.830-05:001.

While Una is not as vocal in her struggle, I think she actually bites him, (I'll have to check again). Una does eventually give in, but she holds out quite a while as does Rose Red.<br /><br />2. I think Rose Red is partially right in that the Dragon causes fear and destruction, which in turn inspires people's cruelty. However, he cannot be blamed for all the monstrosity, for everyone must face themselves.<br /><br />3. I think the Dragon sees Rose Red's strength, which poses a challeng for him, one that he's enjoying, for he's trying to erode her self-confidence. I think he wants to use this strength, for he knows what she could accomplish for evil if she were one of his. Also, he would enjoy claiming a Faerie child for his own.<br /><br />4. Orpheus' weapon is music, which he uses to wonderful effect. His music charms Cerberus, the monstrous guard dog of Hades, so that Orpheus can find his love. Rose Red's weapon is light, which also helps her. Orpheus and Rose Red each cross a body of water: Orpheus the River Styx and Rose Red the Lake of Endless Blackness. Orpheus disobeys an order not to look back as he and Eurydice are ascending from Hades' realm. Thus, he fails his quest. Rose Red pursues a rival.<br /><br />I had a friend who had a towel warmer. It was wonderful to have your towels so toasty warm after a shower! I backed into a heater once and received a horrible burn, so I can relate to Rose Red's pain.<br /><br />Merry Christmas.Meredithnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7102067376746188002.post-53664652344900820842013-12-25T07:36:47.524-05:002013-12-25T07:36:47.524-05:00I was wondering how old Daylily is compared to Leo...I was wondering how old Daylily is compared to Leo and Rose Red. She strikes me as older, but I don't know if that's just because she never had a childhood. Also, does Rosy mature at a rate similar to mortals?
