Shattering Humanity

Child's Voice: "Purpose to life. Is there such a thing? Does everyone really have a purpose?" A frog snatches the dragonfly and eats. The frog hops into the water and swims. It's swimming passed fish and underwater plants. The frog passes a school of small fish and a bigger fish is then seen eating the majority. Child's Voice: "Purpose to life. What if that purpose was for only a second, would you think life is worth it?" Frog pops his head from the water and an owl snatches the frog. It takes it to a nearby tree and eats. Child's Voice: "Purpose to life. Does it always mean sacrifice? Is it positive? Does one's purpose effect another's? Has anybody's death been in vain?" The owl flies towards its nest and feeds the baby owls its regurgitation. The tree begins to shake. Momma jumps back and begin to flap while the babies helplessly are unable to fly. Child's Voice: "Purpose to life. Humans seem to be the most confused about that purpose. Some think 'tomorrow' is the purpose. Some of them work their lives away for more and better things, for themselves or their loved ones, some a deity, or… for humanity. Most animals know their purpose at birth but humans seem to make their own purpose throughout their lives. Sometimes that purpose changes, while the rest stay on the same path." A man wearing lumber jacket, boots, and jeans, watching the 15 ft tall tree crash down. Birds fly from nearby trees. As the man starts dragging the tree back home sweat dripping from his face it starts to snow lightly from the cloudless late summer sky. The man looks confused and looks around. Child's Voice: "But what would happen if humans were forced into a purpose?"

Glass Hearts [BL]

One elite school. One dead student. Two boys who can’t stand each other, and can’t stay away. Welcome to Blackwell Academy. The most prestigious high school in the country, where the rich are powerful, the powerful are dangerous, and everyone is playing a role in the chain. At the top of the chain are the Glass Circle. Six untouchable students born into legacy, wealth, and corruption. They are feared, worshipped and corrupt to the core. One night, one of them, ends up dead. What happens when Ash Rivera….a quiet, scholarship student from the slums of the city witnesses the one thing he was never meant to see? He wasn’t supposed to be at that party. He wasn’t meant to see the body fall from the rooftop. He wasn’t meant to survive it. He definitely wasn’t supposed to catch Dominic Vale’s attention. But one wrong night changes everything. Now Ash is the only witness to a murder, and someone knows he saw too much. They want him silent. “Keep your mouth shut, Rivera. Or you’ll be next. You don’t belong here…and you’ll die trying to." But the real danger isn’t the killer. It’s Dominic Vale…..Blackwell’s golden boy and Ash’s sworn enemy. Because Dominic has his own secrets and obsessions. And why does he keep saying: “Ash Rivera is mine. No one touches him… no one… except me.” As Ash digs deeper into the truth behind the Glass Circle, one thing becomes clear: Love is dangerous.

Ok. Glass is a non-crystalline, amorphous solid that is often transparent and has widespread practical, technological, and decorative usage in, for example, window panes, tableware, and optoelectronics. The most familiar, and historically the oldest, types of glass are "silicate glasses" based on the chemical compound silica (silicon dioxide, or quartz), the primary constituent of sand. The term glass, in popular usage, is often used to refer only to this type of material, which is familiar from use as window glass and in glass bottles. Of the many silica-based glasses that exist, ordinary glazing and container glass is formed from a specific type called soda-lime glass, composed of approximately 75% silicon dioxide (SiO2), sodium oxide (Na2O) from sodium carbonate (Na2CO3), calcium oxide (CaO), also called lime, and several minor additives. Many applications of silicate glasses derive from their optical transparency, giving rise to their primary use as window panes. Glass will transmit, reflect and refract light; these qualities can be enhanced by cutting and polishing to make optical lenses, prisms, fine glassware, and optical fibers for high speed data transmission by light. Glass can be coloured by adding metallic salts, and can also be painted and printed with vitreous enamels. These qualities have led to the extensive use of glass in the manufacture of art objects and in particular, stained glass windows. Although brittle, silicate glass is extremely durable, and many examples of glass fragments exist from early glass-making cultures. Because glass can be formed or moulded into any shape, it has been traditionally used for vessels: bowls, vases, bottles, jars and drinking glasses. In its most solid forms it has also been used for paperweights, marbles, and beads. When extruded as glass fiber and matted as glass wool in a way to trap air, it becomes a thermal insulating material, and when these glass fibers are embedded into an organic polymer plastic, they are a key structural reinforcement part of the composite material fiberglass. Some objects historically were so commonly made of silicate glass that they are simply called by the name of the material, such as drinking glasses and eyeglasses. Scientifically, the term "glass" is often defined in a broader sense, encompassing every solid that possesses a non-crystalline (that is, amorphous) structure at the atomic scale and that exhibits a glass transition when heated towards the liquid state. Porcelains and many polymer thermoplastics familiar from everyday use are glasses. These sorts of glasses can be made of quite different kinds of materials than silica: metallic alloys, ionic melts, aqueous solutions, molecular liquids, and polymers. For many applications, like glass bottles or eyewear, polymer glasses (acrylic glass, polycarbonate or polyethylene terephthalate) are a lighter alternative than traditional glass.

The drama 'Glaze' was heartbreaking in many ways. From the protagonist's love story, Chu Xuanji and Yu Sifeng had experienced ten lifetimes of torturous love. In the first nine lives, Si Feng had died for Xuanji in every life, but Xuanji did not remember him. In his tenth life, Si Feng had also encountered many hardships. For example, the palace rules of the Li Ze Palace that he was in required him to be emotionless and have no desires. He broke the palace rules because he fell in love with Xuanji and was punished by the 13 precepts of purgatory. He was tormented by the punishment, but now, Xuanji expressed that he liked Sixth Brother, which made Si Feng's heart turn ashen. After he put on the mask, he would experience excruciating pain once he fell in love. However, Xuanji's subconscious teasing made him fall in love again. He could only bear the pain of the mask acting up while accompanying Xuanji. Moreover, their love was obstructed by many factors. For example, Senior Brother Hao Chen had interfered. He had secretly swapped Xuanji's Heart Lamp, prevented Xuanji from finding the Octoterra Mirror to recover his six senses, and even interfered with Xuanji's love for Si Feng in the first nine lives. Judging from the physical torture of the protagonist, Yu Sifeng had vomited blood 42 times by the 44th episode. He was always tortured in various ways. From the perspective of the supporting roles, almost every character in the movie was pitiful. Villains such as Emperor Bai Lin, although in a high position but lost himself; Yuan Lang ambitious but not strong enough, but also betrayed his brothers; Wu Tong's fate was tragic, born poor into the immortal cultivation sect was not valued, after making a mistake was forced into a desperate situation with demons, and finally became a half-human half-demon monster. Righteous people also had their own misfortunes. For example, Chu Lei's wife died early, Dongfang Qingqi was betrayed, and the Lord of the Li Ze Palace was hated by his lover because of his identity as a demon. In addition, the friends and relatives around the male and female protagonists would also be implicated because of their love. If Jade did bad things to protect her sister but her sister did not survive, Little Silver Flower was loyal to protect her master but loved the wrong person and lost her life, etc. In terms of plot routines, there were many "old-fashioned" heart-wrenching plots. For example, the female protagonist would not eat or drink when she wanted to see someone but was rejected. The male protagonist would fake a marriage with other girls to provoke the female protagonist. The female protagonist interrupted the marriage in the middle of the male protagonist's marriage, and the people in love must be obstructed. The ending of the Xianxia drama was often the protagonist giving up hatred for the three realms and love and then reuniting with the whole family. These routines also made the plot seem heart-wrenching. "Glazed Flame" is equally exciting. Everyone is welcome to click and read it!

In 'Shattering Glass', the use of multiple viewpoints is a significant element. This allows the reader to see different sides of the story and understand the full scope of Glass's actions. The symbols used, such as the 'perfect image' that Glass tries to project, are also important. Moreover, the climax, where all the lies are exposed, is a vital part of the story for a book report as it ties together all the elements of the novel.

New Arrivals

The Emperor's black moonlight has returned.

On the day that Emperor Gong Liquan of the Three Pure Regions ascended to the throne, he saw in the mirror of the future that Spirit Emperor Shaohao was about to destroy the world. He had wanted to descend to the mortal world to stop Shaohao from reincarnating, but he had caused her to die with a monstrous resentment, and then the soul fire returned to the Spirit Venerable's body. Emperor Gongli joined forces with the gods to form a killing array. They gouged out the heart of Shaohao's true body, cut off her head, and removed her wings and scales. All the gods thought that the future had been reversed, and even Shaohao felt that his soul would return to nothingness. However, she opened her eyes again and found that she had become a harmless little crow. In this life, she could only try to cultivate and kill her way back to the 33rd Layer of Heaven. She wanted the Three Pure Ones to have no True Gods and all the immortals to fall. And picking up her little immortal at Lishui Creek seemed to be an unexpected and also a part of her fate. The God of Creation had created her, a weapon that rebelled against all laws, and had long set the outcome of her death. Only this person called Wen Jingchan had tried everything to keep her alive. ------ Heart-sealing Lock, Love, Irascible Demon x Emotions Stable, Gentle, Little Immortal (I haven't decided whether to be or he yet. I'll tell you in the introduction after I save the manuscript.)
