 For many runners, the desire to do a marathon is about a personal challenge, a test of one's limits and strenght, a wish to prove that you can go the distance and achieve a long-life goal. It is also a huge undertaking, which might first seem as impossible, a challenge that requires commitment and perseverance. Anytime we accomplish something new we grow stronger, we become more confident. Our monthly marathon challenges you to step out of your comfort zone, focus on a subject (or on more), enjoy yourself and have fun while solving it/them, and prove yourself that you can tackle almost anything if you put your mind to it. All these in the span time of a week!
Here we are again, to challenge you with our NOVEMBER Monthly Marathon. Let's revise how it works! We propose you seven different topics to choose among. Each topic has a task to be solved, which task will ask you to come with a different type of solution/answer/reply. You may choose one topic only and stick to it or you can try up to three topics to play with. Be creative, let your mind run free and have lots of fun while doing that!
The seven topics we challenge you with this month are as it follows:
TOPIC 1: November starts with "National Author's Day", always celebrated on 1st of the month.
TASK: a) Which author is your favourite? Which one of his/her works you liked most? What of his/her works is the last you've read? Briefly explain (in 3 - 5 lines) your choice. Give us the name of the author and the title of the book/literary work. You can also come with images, pictures and photos to support your choice and explanation (if the photo you might post is of the book/books on your bookshelf, even better ). b) Choose one character in the game (a hero, fairy, sylph or mount). Associate it with one literary work you can think of being the best to fit it. Briefly explain your choice.
TOPIC 2: November comes with celebrating food in all its forms and types.
TASK: a) Fast-food lovers, rejoice! What is your all times favorite fast-food meal? What would you choose to have for a quick dine-in, take-out or take-away? Illustrate it, at your convenience (any source for the pictures you might post is allowed). b) Let's talk about your ... refrigerator (yes!, it has its own day, too, ). Do you know what's in your refrigerator right now? Tell us what food you have in there and what you usually keep in your refrigerator. List at least 3 items you have or keep there. Do you have a favorite refrigerator food? Which is that (or those, maybe, if you have more than one).
TOPIC 3: 4th of November is the day we celebrate ... candies!!!
TASK: We all love sweets and we have a favourite candy we crave for all the time! If you could invent a new candy, what would that be? What would be the ingredients you use for it? What would it look like, smell like, taste like? What name would you give to your new candy? Give us all these details and come with pictures to illustrate the content(any source allowed, only remember that if it is your own work make it evident writing your data on a piece of paper and attaching it to your photo/pic/drawing/sketch).
TOPIC 4: In 1701, on 27th of November, astronomer Anders Celsius, well known to the world for his thermometer, was born.
TASK: Give us at least 5 (five) facts about temperature, weather and climate in your city/state/country/region/area. Do not come with more than 10 facts, though . You can add pictures or images, if you consider them proper to illustrate the facts enumerated.
TOPIC 5: "National Gratitude Month" is an annual celebration we have in November. Gratitude is more than simply saying "thank you" as it has the power and the ability to shift us from focusing on the negative to appreciating what is positive in our lives.
TASK: Choose one person, in your real life or someone who you've met in game, and write him/her a letter of gratitude. Name that person and tell us what's your relationship with him/her. Make that letter no longer than 3 - 5 lines.
TOPIC 6: Mickey Mouse is a celebrity and one of the most famous cartoon characters we know, and that since the very moment he came into being. On 18th of November it's his ... birthday.
TASK: a) Imagine you can create a friend for Mickey Mouse. What that new character would be? How would it look like? How would you call it? Name it and describe it in a few words. Add drawings or sketches for it (do not forget it is compulsory to write your data on a piece of paper and attach it to your work).
b) Choose one of the characters in game as a friend for Mickey Mouse. Name the character you chose and justify your choice, briefly.
TOPIC 7: Fourth Thursday of November is Thanksgiving Day. President Abraham Lincoln was the first US president to officially declare the festival as the last Thursday in November. It began as a day where people took the opportunity of giving thanks for the blessing of the harvest and of the preceding year and it was initially called "Blessing of the harvest". The celebration is also often recognised as an event that took place when English colonists held a feast to thank Native Americans for helping them start new lives in the US.
TASK: a) Which is your favourite blessing or quote for Thanksgiving? Also, write here your own "blessing" for the day.
b) Imagine you would held a Thanksgiving feast for your in game party. Name the members of it and write down a blessing for each of them. You can also add screenshots, pictures or gifs to illustrate the content.
