Does Asuna really die in the anime show ‘ Magister Negi Magi ‘?

Sunday, January 17th, 2010

and is there going to be a season 2

In anime she dies due to contract with Demon but bring back to the life by Negi Party after some ritual(its been two years since I ve watched it so cant remember the detail)..that was an filler kind of story cause in manga that never happened and in manga Asuna do have a mysterious past and that s why magic has no effect on her.
No season two but there is an Negima neo with same basic plot but with different story and also there r like 10 ovas based on manga.

My mom keeps sayin’ stuff about one being on an elephant and one being on a camel and the other being on some other animal. Which animals did they take?

A flying saucer.

how does Ohanery uses compare and contrast in The gift of the magi?

Tuesday, December 29th, 2009

well you see i’m doing an essay and i need to know how does he uses compare and contrast. like give a line were it shows the compare and contrast. thank you very much!! i appreciate so so so so much :)

I haven’t read the story in many years, and I don’t have a copy handy.

Compare the gifts they gave each other (the watch fob and the hair do-dad). Were they thinking of themselves or each other?

Contrast that against the way Christmas is today. Do most of us really care about the spirit of giving as did the characters?

Wouldn’t we all like to experience such selfless love?

This is a lovely story by O’Henry and one of his most famous. For a lighter side of O’Henry I would suggest The Ransom of Red Chief.

Who told the Magi that if they followed a star it would lead them to Jesus?

Saturday, December 26th, 2009

where’d they get that notion from?

Two points to consider. First, the Magi were first-rate astrologers and they saw the omens in the stars, including the one they were to follow. Thus, if the whole nativity story IS true (doubtful, to say the least), their knowledge of the event and its significance would have been totally natural.
Second point, in almost all of the myths of the god/man archetype in that part of the world, no man could be considered a "god/man" unless they had (some) god for a father. Part of the supernatural package accompanying this was the appearance of the "wise men" of whatever kind to attend/witness to the momentous event.

Did magi visit a babe in a manger at Bethlehem, or a child in a house at Nazareth?

Thursday, December 24th, 2009

How many magi would it take to stir up all Jerusalem at feast time, plus Herod who lived elsewhere? Could it be magi were baby-lonian jews, coming to worship their childish King: Law?

Three kings visited baby Jesus in a manger in Bethlehem

In Mahou Negima Magi, Could someone explain to me how are Asuna and Negi connected?

Monday, December 21st, 2009

I have the understanding that his mother is the queen, but how does asuna fit into the equation and also, how is it that the war took place 20 yrs earlier but asuna is still only 15?

yeah, the age is puzzling me. especially the fact that negi have a sister. how old is the sister, since it seems as if asuna is already 5 when nagi n the queen married….so that left only 10 years for negi

asuna is a twilight princess, though i dont know wether asuna is related with the queen (erika, isn it?) but i do remember that age in the magical world is diffferent (they live till 300+).

still, asuna is insrtumental in helping negi restore peace, i think.

Does any one was discussion questions for the Gift of the Magi?

Friday, December 11th, 2009

For English we have to come up with 5 to 7 discussion questions for the story we read. I read The Gift of the Magi and I can’t come up with many questions. Here is an example that I have all ready.. Are Jim and Della foolish to sell their favorite possessions? Please give me more questions please!

That’s actually a really good question, so kudos on the solid start.

How about:
1) What does this story suggest to us about material goods?
2) Should Jim and Della have consulted with each other before searching for presents?
3) What are the main themes of the story?
4) In terms of this story, how would you define love?

according to the christian tradition MAGI what did the three wise men ride?

Sunday, December 6th, 2009

I keep hearing things that they road camels but i all ways thought they rode in 1 elephant ,1 camel, and 1 horse. What are the correct animals they rode in ?

NOWHERE IN THE BIBLE DOES IT STATE THAT THE MAGI USED CAMELS AS TRAVEL TO VISIT THE KING OF THE JEWS

THE BIBLE DOES NOT SAY 3 WISEMAN NOR THAT THE MAGI RODE CAMELS
Matthew 2
The Visit of the Magi
1After Jesus was born in Bethlehem in Judea, during the time of King Herod, Magi[a] from the east came to Jerusalem 2and asked, "Where is the one who has been born king of the Jews? We saw his star in the east[b] and have come to worship him."
Bible ( gateway)

and it isn’t in the Greek New Testament in Greek. I looked it Up ( Not There )
