There and Back Again

Monday

Axis and Allies Tournament

 

We have been playing this board game for several weeks now.  We even woke up one morning a 6:30 am to play a round with our dad before he went to work.  My mom thinks we have all gone off the deep end.  But we know better.  The World is at stake!

 

A narrative of the latest war…

 

After the tragic bombing of Pearl Harbor, the American forces have sunk the attacking fleet and built a great navy in the Pacific Ocean to attack and destroy Tokyo.  After having the seen the mistake they have made in attempting to destroy the Japanese fleet, they have retreated to Eastern America, seeking to aid Britain in the destruction of Berlin.  Here they landed a company of men in western Germany and seized it, also sending a number of planes to Britain to aid in defense.  The German navy attacked the invincible American fleet and, we grieve to say, destroyed it.  Not without a price.  The vengeful British air forces utterly defeated the German armada and wiped from the face of the seas.  Shortly following these grievous events, Germany occupied India, the location of Britain’s industrial unit.  Germany captured Karelia and Japan invaded Moscow.  Western Europe was retaken and Japan began continually bombing the indestructible British-American navy as fast as it was rebuilt.  Most of Africa had been occupied by Germany at an early stage in the game and this did not greatly assist Britain’s economic distress.  At the climax of the evil situation, Japan invaded Alaska and Western America.  The Allied forces did not dream of the invasion of indomitable Washington, but the need for forces protecting it took from America’s capability to support Britain.  It is believed in some faithless parts of the planet, that the Axis forces will control the world.  It is far from America and Britain’s inclinations to admit this impractical fact but the war grew somewhat tedious, and they graciously surrendered to the Axis the success that they disdained to take part of and would have retired to their refined dwellings and mourned for the loss of Russia, had not the Russian government turned against them after its defeat and informed them repeatedly how the Axis would destroy them in the following duplication of World War II.

I've been collecting moths and butterflies, making cases, mounting, and studying entomology for 5 years, also study botany. I like your weblog theme, I think the Lord of the Rings trilogy are the best movies ever made. We have all three.

Our Quest

"All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us..." GANDALF

The purpose of this blog is to record the ideas that are most important to us. We are two sisters who choose to go by the names of Frodo and Legolas. You will find poems and quotes, narrations and pictures from our favorite sources that have inspired us to use the time that has been given to us to the best of our ability. We hope you will enjoy the journey there and back again....

The Myth

"The value of the myth is that it
takes all the things we know and
restores to them the rich
significance which has been hidden
by the veil of familiarity . . .
By putting bread, gold, horse, apple
or the very roads into a myth,
we do not retreat from reality:
we rediscover it. As long as the
story lingers in our mind,
the real things are more themselves.
[The Lord of the Rings]
applies the treatment not only
to bread or apple but to good and evil,
to our endless perils, our anguish
and our joys. By dipping them in myth
we see them more clearly. I do not
think [Tolkien] could have done it
in any other way.”
- C.S. Lewis
