Dominoes can be an entertaining way to spend quality time with family and friends, offering hours of delight as you put the pieces in an ordered line and flick them one at a time to watch the dominoes fall one after the other. Dominoes may also present themselves in classroom settings when students attempt to compensate for learning challenges with strategies which end up having detrimental long-term impacts on student achievements; we will explore strategies to effectively address such challenges in this article and ensure student achievement isn’t lost altogether.
Playing cards and dice are rectangular blocks with a line running down their center that divides each end into two squares, known as dominoes, each featuring spots known as “pips.” Most variants feature six “pips” on either end; others may have none at all; typically each piece of a domino is twice as long as wide – perfect for creating works of art such as this rainbow spiral by Lily Hevesh! Dominoes can be used in games of blocking, scoring, matching or creating works like Lily Hevesh has done.
Domino has the ability to subliminally and psionically initiate random acts that influence probability in her favor, from making an enemy equipment malfunction, to hitting just the right switch in an overloaded nuclear reactor. She can psionically control objects as well as being an expert marksman using various firearms and trained in martial arts.
As a child, Domino was first introduced to dominoes by her grandparents and quickly fell in love with it. She would play solo and with friends and family alike, trying to build ever larger and more intricate lines than before; her favorite design being one which formed letters that spell her name – something which became known as her “Domino Design.”
At 19, Domino joined X-Corp as a mutant and became an agent for Mutant Monitoring, overseeing any violations to mutant rights. Her mission led her to Hong Kong where she discovered John Sublime’s Third Species movement harvesting body parts of living mutants for U-Men creation; saving the mutant Xorn while defeating Sublime and his army of Reapers soldiers.
Domino is a wonderful metaphor to show writers the importance of making sure all their scenes connect, similar to how dominoes link in sequence. Each emotional beat in each scene must logically impact on those before and after it, just like dominoes on a chain are connected sequentially. This is particularly vital if you write “by the seat of your pants”, without doing detailed outlines beforehand. To prevent your story from getting bogged down with unnecessary scenes that don’t connect properly between chapters, Scrivener or an outliner could help immensely – adding or subtracting scenes will only strengthen your narrative overall!
