# Identify elements of fantasy writing.
# Give some examples of how fantasy is distinguished from realism.
:hairs:
That's asking for a little much, ain't it? Even the people who write fantasy can't agree on those ones.

Heh, I notice the author made a reference to the Monty Python which I hardly believe was unintentional:

What must Arwen sacrifice in order to wed Aragorn, the king?
  • A goat
    Her immortality
    Her father's love
    Her huge tracts of land

Thanks Syl. :) It's all I can do to keep ahead of my little genius in the homeschooling thing. This will be very helpful the next time he catches up with me. :wink: :D 8)
