Can't believe i misspelled that. The original last draft i lost, and i had to repair this earlier draft pre-professional edit. So please forgive the terrible spelling and other mistakes.

So, awhile ago i posted a paper i wrote in a communications class. Apparently it didn't upload correctly, so i thought i would upload it again. To quote from my original post, "So, I wrote this paper a while back for a communications class... about a year back... and I promised to post it after I was finished and got the paper graded. I never did, and I apologize for that. Well, here it is. Its terrible, but if you like it let me know. If you have thoughts, please post. I'd like to see what everyone else's head cannon is and where I got it wrong. I did try and get this published in a student publication but it sadly got ignored, which stung. Please let me know what you think." Apparently i can't just upload the Word Doc, so instead i'll provide a link to the Gmail Doc. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B7wrh9YZZTDhdGtEMXA1SG1XNDQ/view?usp=sharing

THANK YOU! If you like i will post the finished product after it is graded.

Its a Communications class where we have to analyze a piece of media. My teacher cleared the way of kings/ storm-light archive, and I've been on a quest ever sense!

Ok guys i need one more favor.... I need to know where Hoid says some snarky stuff in the second book about men having all the deadly callings and women having all the good ones. Can someone help me out here?

Cemci you are a freaking god (or maybe just a shard... the shard of finding? or hidden things... how about revelation?) Thank you so much! This was literally the last piece to my puzzle. Seriously thank you.

Hello everyone, its been awhile sense i was on here. I previously posted a theory about Adolisium being a council of people with shards that "shattered" when they came to a disagreement or something (I now think that that's probably not the case). Anyway i need help with something. In the second book "words of radiance" there is a passage where Shallan and Jasnah are on a ship, and Shallan names the dress that Jasnah is wearing as a "Traditional Alethie Dress" and that the crew thought that the dress was prudish, even though it hugged her figure very well. I need the know what the name of that dress was (and page number), for a collage paper i'm writing about gender roles on Roshar. If someone could help me find it i would be forever in thier debt. Thanks again!

well what i was thinking is that sense the Parshandi use song, and dance and other normal (all be it odd) ways of communication, they are still individuals. they don't have a HIVE mind like the parshmen, who seem to have an "unspoken language" or telepathy, so i think its actually the opposite of what you are thinking but that's just me. as for Odiums reason for twisting the parshandi into parshmen? so he can control them better. and after the last desolation he turned them into docile creatures so they can survive and not be eliminated. also what better place to strike from then when you have infiltrated, and are ignored by all levels and parts of society? Another thing is that i could be wrong, the parshmen could be good, and the parshandi could actually be living all over the unclaimed hills.... and that's why they have not stopped fighting for over six years. just two thoughts both equally valid in my view.

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand she won

I live in provo, the same town with both of those unis in it lol. they are UVU and BYU. i currently go to UVU and i will tell you this, if Brandon were to change he would be opened with OPEN ARMS!!!!!!! I am a polisci major, and i would take his creative wrighting course as an elective in a Heart beat if it were an intro course!!!!

HI i am Zeadman! i am new to, so i might be following you on the forums a bit taking away info from your questions ha! Welcome!

Yea sorry. i Do have dislexia, and at times its worse then other times. Actualy what you said about Parshman being Parshandi was kinda what i was geting at. I was thinking it was along the lines of LoTR orks and elves. And yes, the idea that Odium placed Honor in that situation were he had to "die" to do what he needed to do to prepare the humans for what was coming is what i was geting at. It seems like a very usefull, and perhapse the shards only, tactic to kill another shard?

Again though, i still think that the Parshmen are the voidbringers, or at least a part of them, taken by Hate, Odium or what ever, and twisted. I think that the "ever storme" or the "night of tears" will come when they as one finaly turns on their "masters" and starts to slaughter everyone. Just a thought. I realy think that the Parshandi actualy work for Honor, seeing as they tend to actualy see it in Shallan, it might be that they simply see Dalanars people as useing Parshan as some sort of Herrisy, think thatit was them who took and got rid of their "song" and twisted them into slaves. So they started the war. that would make more sense to me anyway.... Another way for Odium to weaken Honor for the final Desolation.
