Pyre

Instead of continuing on the journey into the mountain, I take Del away and put him on a pile of torches which he kept in his pack and was never able to use. As I kept building the funeral pyre, I went back and forth on if this was the right way. Would it be more customary to dig a grave? Is the funeral pyre traditional? Tradition. The idea of it always pushes me astray. When I was a child, it was customary, as my parents always encouraged, for tieflings to keep a distance from others of their

Pyre blends its immediate story and its backstory together in a way that compliments both by using the idea of fate and history repeating itself. Often stories can be split into two segments, the immediate story where the majority of the events take place, and the backstory which provides the details that influence characters in the immediate story in subtle ways. Many games in recent years have found the best way to make backstory digestible without being overwhelming is to allow players to engage

The glow of the funeral pyre reflected in their eyes. Rose was crying. “You tried to leave me in the other dimension,” her voice was raw with emotion. “Are we really going to have this out now? We’re paying our respects.” She hugged herself tight and shivered despite it not being a bit chilly. “I need to,” she said, not quite meeting his eyes. “You were going to leave me in Bad Wolf Bay,” she accused. He did not deny it. “Yes.” “The time I spent with my mum, Pete, and Tony, it was good; I

My skin tingles, and I stroke his soft curls as I listen to the announcement. “...is introducing a new way to immortalise and thereby protect our leaders from the smallpox epidemic that is currently spreading. The scheme is to be titled ‘Project Pyre’, and will begin when the Alpha and the Pack, who are responsible for this new hope, have a willing volunteer to be the first test subject.”

who Equality named the Saint of the Pyre, was publicly executed by fire. When the Saint of the Pyre was burned at the end of Chapter two, this referenced to when Jesus Christ was Crucified and with this allusion, Ayn Rand spread the message that a government can be so powerful that, to the citizens of that government, it is consider to be

deposits: (1) saucer pyres often contain the bones of sheep but do not conform to normative practices of Athenian sacrifice (2) there are distinctive ceramic shapes that occur in saucer pyres, many of which are associated with food preparation and consumption, but there is also a good deal of variation and (3) many of the offerings commonly found in saucer pyres are also used as grave goods or in graveside pyres. There seems to be a connection between cemetery pyres and saucer pyres. This therefore suggests

It was specifically a stone pyre, established for at least three tragic Daelockes to be bound to with rope, and burned alive for their transgressions. I had not forgotten a single face, searing and roaring, begging for mercy while the Santerie gawked and laughed, prodding at the fire

of “I” in Anthem through a boy confined within a collectivist society. Throughout Anthem, Ayn Rand uses Equality’s journey to awareness in which Rand displays religious connotations’ ability to stifle individuality, foreshadow through the Saint of Pyre, as well as consecrate “ego” in order to emphasize the need for self-worth and individuality. At the start of Anthem, a lack of free thought and individuality resulted from religious connotations in the negative form. The government dominating Equality’s

differences can still be established within Paley’s Sita Sings the Blues and Patel’s Ramayana: Divine Loophole, even when both represent the same scenario with different artistic preferences. Two similarities that can easily be found when Sita enters the pyre is her dark representation in relation to the more vibrant orange or yellow fire, and Sita wearing a bindi. The flames follow beside and behind her, but never before her. Sita is then “part of the fire,” but never being overtaken by it. Sita does not

“The coin types may be considered political from the start, for the ubiquitous references to family and to ancestral achievements were a normal part of political discourse at Rome.” Coins were an integral part of society in Rome. In addition to coins economic function, emperors used coins as propaganda about their achievements and their family members. These coins would have been produced and used throughout the empire as an “abstract symbolism of power.” This was the case with funerary subject
