Parcival's sword slipped free of its scabbard, where it bounced off the edge of the ledge. Sparks cascaded, framing his face with an eerie glow that enveloped his body for a moment, as it spun off into the darkness. The sword became wedged in a crack in the flint rock face several feet below. "Perhaps now is not the time to

Reading Response Week 4: The Perils and Privileges of Auto-Ethnography Although not mentioned in this week’s Marshall/Rossman chapter, feminism and autoethnography has popped up before in prior readings, so there is some familiarity with both concepts.

She wears trousers now too, stuffed into the tops of her boots and a shirt that he thinks might be too big, tucked into the waist of her trousers. But Zelda does not seem to notice or care.
