As we discuss the second to last short story in the Pana cycle, it seemed fitting to talk about rising action and the process by which we move a story to its epic conclusion. To help us think about rising action, we take a look at Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, and how it prepares us - or doesn't - for Harry's confrontation with Voldemort.

In Peter's undergrad thesis, they explored the idea of the nation-state and how it is constructed through the collective imagination of different groups of people. They thought it would be interesting to look at the vibrant world of Avatar the Last Airbender and the Legend of Korra, a world built on the premise of there being four distinct nations, and see how the shows can help us understand imagined communities.

We're slowly nearing the end of the Pana cycle! As Pana approaches the end of their journey and the overwhelming task set before them and has to make a decision, we thought it would be interesting to talk about Responsibility. And what better way to introduce that theme than through Avatar the Last Airbender, created by Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko.

This may be Peter's favorite installment of the Pana cycle. Today, we workshop the sixth short story in the series, Visions. As the crew sails through the Hudson Bay, everyone begins to mysteriously fall asleep and have different visions. But what do these visions mean, and how will they alter Pana's journey as they continue to run from their past? We focus our conversation on the theme of perception, and use the book, The Giver, by Lois Lowry, as the starting point for our conversation.
