Dust, what is dust?
Not the stuff that accumulates in your
bedroom corner, the magical dust in the air. Memories, thoughts, feelings, even
knowledge all in a floating dust.
Or, according to Mrs. Coulter, page 282
“Dust is something bad, something wrong, something evil and wicked.”
I’ve been reading The Golden Compass by
Philip Pullman, and I have finished it. In this book the main character is
called Lyra and she has a dæmon named Pantamilion that
often takes the form of an ermine or a mouse. Dæmons are physical animal forms representing our
soul, and separation from them could be fatal. Dæmons can shape shift when you
are a child but then settle permanently when you are an adult, because of dust.
The two main adult characters, Lord Asriel and Mrs. Coulter, are both
investigating about the nature of dust.
I believe my
dæmon would be a greyish-brown gold coyote, because coyotes are social and can
be fierce. What would yours be?
Owen Raven I am leaving comments but they seem to disappear when I press "Publicar". I said, "nice writing" and I said that my daemon would be a beaver because I shot so many of them that they will come as dust on my soul and make me respect them so I won't kill them any more. Jim from Jimbobwe
