I’m not here today, but you guys know what you need to do! There are two things that I’m asking you to do one thing before you start the Minos Project today: Hell Pizza.

Hell Pizza

First of all, go to Hell →Hell Pizza. You will need to click on “Create New Thread”. Make sure that you give your thread a title – easiest is your name.

Hell Pizza is a real pizza restaurant that started in New Zealand. Yes, I’ve actually been there, and it was some of the best pizza I’ve ever eaten in my entire life. Seriously.

So, what I’d like you to do is to pick out a pizza – but you can’t cop out and choose the Creator – you have to choose a Hell Pizza original! Make sure you choose a PIZZA, and not desert or an appetizer.

In your post, explain what pizza you would chose and why and then explain the significance of the pizza’s name and how it relates to the theme of Hell.

For example, I would order the 333 pizza, because I don’t eat very much and normally order off the children’s menu (I’d probably just get an all cheese pizza – I’m really boring). It’s called the 333 because 333 is half of 666, which in Judeo-Christian mythology is the number of the beast.

I’ve included links to certain food items you may not be familiar with in the table below.

Venison Salami Cabonossi Sausage Kalamata olives
Anchovies Capiscum Gherkins Oreganum – oregano
Capers Pine Nuts Apricot Sauce Camembert
Salmon

Minos Project

This is what we have been working on since last week. You should know what you need to do, but if you are confused, go back on look at last Monday’s blog entry. If you are really confused about level and want my help, skip that level and I’ll help you on Thursday.

Helpful Links and Research Tips

Some helpful links:

  • A link that has been really helpful for me is TV Tropes. This is a webpage that takes devices, conventions, themes, or ideas that are used in pop culture.

First, go to the webpage and enter your search term in the top left hand corner. You will need to use BROAD terms, not specific.

Then, you’ll get a few search result. Look at them and find the most general and broad one that fits your topic.

When you get to the webpage, the examples will be further down the list. You’ll have options to choose from: television shows, real life, musicals, movies, comic books, manga/anime. MAKE SURE YOU DON’T PLAGIARIZE FROM THIS RESOURCE.

  • If you need to look up a character’s name (from a movie or tv show), look up the show in Wikipedia since you are blocked from IMDB.
  • Some search terms that might help you:
    • example of…
    • modern day…
    • cartoon character who are…
    • list of…
    • celebrities who are…
    • Choosing good search terms is essential when researching online. If you choose something that is too specific or too broad, you won’t find what you are looking for. If you are stuck, try changing your search terms. For example, you won’t find examples of “virtuous pagan” (It’ll just send you to summaries of Limbo), but if you good “good pre-Christian”, list of pre-Christians”, or even “cartoon characters who are cavement.”
  • 2013 Films, 2012 Films, 2011 Films, 2010 films, 2009 films, (you can search for any year by replacing the year you WANT in the link), list of Disney movies, or a list of cartoons.

I am going to repeat these helpful hints each day for the rest of this week. I hope that at least one person finds them useful.
