They're determined not to be forgotten because, I think, they believe living on in people's minds is the same as living on in their hearts. It would mean that they didn't lead pointless lives.Bekanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7102067376746188002.post-42459581136282424712013-01-02T12:16:52.126-05:002013-01-02T12:16:52.126-05:00Oooh, please do model for us!
And when Imraldera ...Oooh, please do model for us!<br /><br />And when Imraldera says Faeries,<br />does she mean Faerie folk like Eanrin an such? Does she mean those little things with wings wearing acorn caps?<br />And, if Imraldera is mortal (is she?!?!?), how can she see them? Did the Prince grant her the power to when she became a Lady knight?<br />1)They lose all of themselves. What they once were - or, at least, they try to.<br />And after a good long while, people forget who they actually were. They just remember that they are dragons.<br />Rebekahnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7102067376746188002.post-65641142742355882172013-01-01T17:49:20.322-05:002013-01-01T17:49:20.322-05:001.

Why keep the name of the person they were?Courtneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09758194980707040418noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7102067376746188002.post-27951245061328547892013-01-01T17:41:07.086-05:002013-01-01T17:41:07.086-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Courtneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09758194980707040418noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7102067376746188002.post-40165720227193853802012-12-31T14:58:24.258-05:002012-12-31T14:58:24.258-05:001.

I noticed that early on in the book; when Una was in dragon form, she might've referred to herself as Una once in conversation with the Dragon. <br /><br />I knew names are important. Have you watched the show Once Upon A Time? Rumplestilkskin asks for names too for payment. I just saw the connection between the show and the tale. <br /><br />2. Yes.<br /><br />Imraldera's outfit reminded me of the Tinkerbell movies. (I have a little sister.)<br /><br />3. "The Far World," he whispered as he gazed upon things he had thought existed only in tales. pg.265<br /><br />CaitlynAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7102067376746188002.post-74630930667033233072012-12-31T11:51:29.829-05:002012-12-31T11:51:29.829-05:00The salwar kameez sounds beautiful!

But I finally figured it out on that little section you gave about her on the Dragonwitch character page!<br />And this chapter we meet the yellow-eyed boy...who oddly enough is one of favorite characters to read aloud. And yes...I do know who his uncle is. :)<br />Hannahnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7102067376746188002.post-30683976193618375612012-12-30T23:13:12.905-05:002012-12-30T23:13:12.905-05:001.

But by succumbing to the dragon's nature, becoming a dragon, they are losing their identity. it ultimately destroys who they are, who they were created to be. Also, probably because they don't want to remember.<br /><br />2. they were both "forgotten" by a "loved" one. the yellow-eyed dragon might have a tale similar but it probably doesn't have to do with "love" like Una's, but maybe something different like unmet expectations, pride, etc??? They are determined not to be forgotten because they want to punish the ones who forgot them. if they can place the blame on others, they don't have to take responsiblity for their actions, choices, etc. "They made me like this." <br /><br />3. fallen behind on the reading, but catching up. <br /><br />I love languages! Studied Spanish in college, need to learn my hubby's language & would love to learn Latin, Greek & maybe Hebrew. I created languages too when I first started out writing. Although, I will never be like Tolkien, too lazy for that, but I did utilize the similar feminine/masculine nouns & played around with conjugated verbs. :-)Jennettehttp://www.jlmbewe.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
