Ask game: 1. What is the main lesson of your story (e.g. kindness, diversity, anti-war), and why did you choose it?

Hi! Thanks for the question!!

The main lessons for The Ship of Undead are

That there is not inherent good nor inherent bad. There is nature, man is part of nature and is not evil but rather corrupted. Similarly life is not good and death is not bad. They happen and one is necessary for the other.

That we should start by taking matters into our own hand if we want some result. Even if that will come slowly, or it will be imperfect (which is completely fine! Slow and imperfect is better than not done)

Allyship and the Anne Frank question

Would you have hidden Anne Frank and her family? It's no longer a hypothetical question.

I was watching a TikTok video by Texas artist Soren Pendragon castigating those who claim to be allies of the LGBTQ+ community, but they back away at the slightest threat (à la Target). He describes them as those who fly the Pride flag 1/12 of the year and go back to their lives, while the LGBTQ+ community has to deal with attacks and repressive legislation all year. I completely agree with…

Mercury and the Dishonest Woodsman by Salvator Rosa

The subject of Rosa’s painting – the story of the honest woodsman – is taken from Aesop’s Fables, a collection of ancient Greek tales with moral lessons. In the story, the god Mercury takes pity on a woodsman who has accidentally dropped his axe into a river. He retrieves two axes from the water, one gold and one silver; the woodsman claims neither as his own and, as a reward for his honesty, Mercury gives him both, along with the original axe. On hearing this a dishonest woodsman threw his own tool in the river and pretended that it was made of precious metal. Rosa’s painting shows Mercury in his winged helmet emerging from the water holding a golden axe, and the woodsman dashing forwards to claim it. The god, disgusted by the man’s dishonesty, denied him the axe.

Introducing my oldest published book:

The Minds Of Two Souls

Spirits, a well intentioned villain, crazy adventures, and a heartfelt lesson in the morality of human nature with a sprinkle of responsibility inside!

"Responsibilities, as they often are, become thrusted upon those most fit to handle them", a statement far too true for high school student Sarah Welston. An intellectual and mentally sound daughter of a family consisting of her mother and two much less responsible older brothers, she must learn how to manage a life of work, school, and fun. Between meeting a potential coworker, finding time to hang out with her best friend, and avoiding the gazes of strange individuals in black cars following her daily routine, the girl's mind is torn to its limit. Though life is never to kind to those who aren't weary of its surprises. One day, while walking back from work, an accident pronounces her dead the next day. After a fairly instant panic session, she soon accepts that she had done many good things in her life, and is allowed into heaven where the girl meets Saint Peter, keeper of heaven’s keys. As he reviews her good deeds, and the bad, he begins opening heaven’s gates before abruptly closing them, announcing that she could not enter for some strange reason. Hearing the good news, Sarah is dragged back down to Earth and finds her body laying in bed, breathing, and, before she knew it, it suddenly wakes up before her, questioning where it is as it resumes Sarah’s daily chores. She finds questions racing through her head: Who was this imposter? What were they doing in her body? And why wasn’t she dead?

Marlin & Dory’s friendship goals

Inclusion is a generic moral lesson found in many children's movies. Finding  Nemo's plot relies on Dory and Marlin learning to get along so they can find  Nemo. Nemo learns through his own adventure how to trust in his own abilities.  "Most writers tend to focus more on a relationship grounded in commonality  than one that is not…Despite their differences, Marlin and Dory have a very  close relationship. Firm believers in inclusiveness would argue that Dory and  Marlin's relationship translates to the wider realms of society." (Draman, 2)

Showing two characters cultivating a relationship from shared experiences and needs is healthy. Relationships that last are about more than commonalities. Draman expresses that Finding Nemo director "Andrew Stanton clearly  illustrates the belief of inclusivity through a fictional world when enabling Nemo to make significant contributions to society." (Draman, 3)

 In my opinion, writing disabled characters who participate in the "fictional society" is the bare minimum and maybe progressive for its time, but nothing to praise.  

Stanton has stated his inspiration came from family. I find Finding Nemo's family dynamics very realistic. Praising a plot for writing circumstances where  characters who are different are included is how things should be in a children's  film. Finding Nemo presents relatable themes of friendship, family, and change. 

The "resistance" of Marlin to accept Dory mimics real hesitations some people have about disability.

Marlin thinks short-term memory loss is fiction.

 And goes as far as to say, "there's something wrong with you." 

This thought wouldn't  belong in a perfectly inclusive society. Fictional stories are relatable because  they have connections to reality. Portraying Marlin as having assumptions about Nemo and Dory mirrors real cultural expectations. This realism is what makes Finding Nemo such a compelling story.

Unraveling Humanity's Foibles: A Journey Through Gulliver's Travels

Jonathan Swift's "Gulliver's Travels into Several Remote Nations of the World" is a literary masterpiece that takes readers on a captivating voyage through the eccentric and fantastical realms of satire and social commentary. Originally published in 1726, Swift's novel presents the extraordinary adventures of Lemuel Gulliver, a ship's surgeon who finds himself shipwrecked on four distinct and peculiar lands, each inhabited by beings with their own peculiar customs and ideologies. Through Gulliver's encounters with the Lilliputians, Brobdingnagians, Laputans, and Houyhnhnms, Swift employs biting satire and biting wit to critique various aspects of human nature, society, politics, and religion.

The novel's first section, set in the land of Lilliput, offers a scathing commentary on the pettiness and absurdity of human politics and power struggles. Through Gulliver's experiences as a giant among tiny inhabitants, Swift exposes the folly of war, bureaucracy, and the arbitrary nature of authority. The absurdity reaches its peak with the absurd ritual of Lilliputian politics, including the infamous "Big-Endians" versus "Little-Endians" dispute, which serves as a thinly veiled critique of religious schisms and sectarianism.

In contrast, the second section of the novel transports Gulliver to the land of Brobdingnag, where he becomes a miniature among giants. Here, Swift shifts his focus to a critique of human vanity, arrogance, and the flawed nature of humanity itself. Through Gulliver's observations of the benevolent yet morally repugnant Brobdingnagians, Swift highlights the inherent depravity and moral corruption of human civilization, challenging readers to confront their own flaws and shortcomings.

The third section of "Gulliver's Travels" takes Gulliver to the floating island of Laputa, a realm inhabited by impractical intellectuals and absurd scientific endeavors. Through biting satire and absurd scenarios, Swift lampoons the folly of intellectualism divorced from practicality, as well as the dangers of unchecked scientific experimentation and technological hubris. The Laputans' obsession with abstract theories and impractical inventions serves as a cautionary tale against the pursuit of knowledge at the expense of humanity's moral and ethical obligations.

Finally, in the fourth section of the novel, Gulliver finds himself in the land of the Houyhnhnms, a society of rational, equine beings who govern themselves with reason and virtue. Through Gulliver's interactions with the Houyhnhnms and their brutish human-like counterparts, the Yahoos, Swift offers a stark critique of human nature itself. The Houyhnhnms' rationality and virtue stand in stark contrast to the base instincts and moral degradation of the Yahoos, leading Gulliver to question his own humanity and the nature of civilization itself.

In conclusion, "Gulliver's Travels" is a timeless work of satire and social commentary that continues to resonate with readers today. Through Swift's masterful storytelling and biting wit, the novel offers a profound exploration of human nature, society, and the follies of civilization. By presenting readers with a series of fantastical yet eerily familiar worlds, Swift challenges us to reflect on our own flaws and shortcomings, making "Gulliver's Travels" a compelling and thought-provoking read for audiences of all ages.

Jonathan Swift's "Gulliver's Travels into Several Remote Nations of the World" is available in Amazon in paperback 16.99$ and hardcover 22.99$ editions.
