That is absolutely true. Nearly all fantasy works have a great many similarities. We take most of them for granted without even realizing it. However it is the differences that make the tales grand.

And when you high five a giant, it really is a high five.

Now imagine, if you will, the Giantish basketball team (though I suppose a Giantish professional team of any sport would probably be fearsome).

Each new historical era mirrors itself in the picture and active mythology of its past or of a past borrowed from other cultures. It tests its sense of identity, of regress or new achievement against that past.”

Giantish basketball teams don't have the quickness and their size is going to lead to alot of unneccesary fouls. Plus they'll goal tend alot. If you can put on a full court press and wear down Pitchwife but if the ball comes inside there's no stopping them.

Something you will never see in TCTC? Has anyone ever wondered how they go to the bathroom in the Land? I know someone's gonna say, "...same as we do," but seriously. is Gilden-leaf used like Charmin...? Or, "pee anywhere but on the aliantha." Well, that's my 2 cents...see where it goes from here (lol).

You do not hear, and so you cannot be redeemed.

In the name of their ancient pride and humiliation, they had made commitments with no possible outcome except bereavement.

He knew only that they had never striven to reject the boundaries of themselves.
