![]() ![]() ![]() Sometimes she smiles and sometimes she rips things and sometimes she is quiet. Narrated by Jenny Mei’s friend, we learn that Jenny Mei is sad but she doesn’t always show it. This is one of my new favorite picture books and great for preschoolers. For example, three pigs and a wolf or three snails and an alien. Cute illustrations show friends groups that don’t all look the same. Even though one of these is not like the others, that’s just fine with these friends…because it’s how they rock and roll. Saltzberg uses minimal text and illustrations to convey an important message of inclusion, friendships, and diversity. ![]() One of These Is Not Like the Others by Barney Saltzberg These friendship picture books about inclusion share stories to encourage children to be kind and thoughtful of others. One of the most important values to teach at the beginning of the school year, and anytime, is to be inclusive. ![]() ![]() ![]() When Margaret finds that ‘the incident displeased her’ because ‘no tenderness had ensued’, she resolves to help Henry bridge the desired gap ( HE, 169).Īlthough the word ‘passion’ is used twenty-three times in Howards End, it is not defined. ![]() Our first encounter with ‘prose’ and ‘passion’ comes shortly after Margaret Schlegel, a liberal intellectual, receives her first kiss from her chalk and cheese fiancé, Henry Wilcox, a conservative businessman. This essay investigates how and why this might be the case in regards to resolving the tension between ‘prose’ and ‘passion’ in five major characters from Howards End and A Room with A View (both novels themselves connected by reference to the English art critic and author, John Ruskin). However I suggest that Forster does not always succeed (or perhaps did not wish to succeed) in bridging these tensions. ![]() Indeed the importance of bridging tensions across racial, class, and geopolitical barriers is a recurring theme in Forster’s work. According to Colmer (92), the phrase ‘only connect’, the epigraph to Howards End, immediately establishes the master theme as one of achieving harmony. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() That's a lot of Stephen King! In past years, we've resisted giving authors more than one slot on the list (though we made an exception for Nora Roberts during the 2015 romance poll - and she's basically the Stephen King of romance.) In the end, we decided that since so much classic horror is in short story format, we would allow authors one novel and one short story if necessary. ![]() I'd be hiding under the bed shuddering without their help.Īnd a word about Stephen King: Out of almost 7,000 nominations you sent in, 1,023 of them were for the modern master of horror. Readers did nominate them, but the judges felt uncomfortable debating the inclusion of their own work - so it's up to me to tell you to find and read their excellent books! I personally, as a gigantic horror wuss, owe a debt of gratitude to this year's judges, particularly Hendrix, for their help writing summaries for all the list entries. as a lecturer, and founded her own magazine, The Forerunner. Full Title: The Yellow Wallpaper When Written: June, 1890 Where Written: California When Published: May, 1892 Literary Period: Gothic Genre: Short story Gothic horror Feminist literature Setting: Late nineteenth century, in a colonial mansion that has been rented for the summer. Best known for the 1892 title story of this collection, a harrowing tale of a womans descent into madness, Charlotte Perkins Gilman wrote more. One thing you won't see on the list is any work from this year's judges, Stephen Graham Jones, Ruthanna Emrys, Tananarive Due and Grady Hendrix. Perkins Gilman made a living as a lecturer on women’s issues, labor issues, and social reform. ![]() 100 Best Books Happy Ever After: 100 Swoon-Worthy Romances ![]() ![]() What could have been equally, if not more, interesting, would have been greater interaction among the characters aboard the ark as another means of exploring this female perspective of a well-known Biblical story. Blake uses these moments, along with the preponderance of dream scenes to establish Naamah’s discontent with the lot she’s drawn. ![]() ![]() These scenes distract Naamah from a longing for her past, her fatigue with present, and her worry for the future all at once. Her daughter-in-law gets pregnant, in a rare instance of heterosexual sex, yet the bulk of the sex scenes are between Naamah and a female angel or between Naamah and Bethel, the lover she left behind in the flood and whose presence she misses more with each passing day. After all, Naamah is the matriarch from whose efforts the rest of humanity will spring. There’s not much sex in the Bible - at least, explicitly - but there’s plenty of it in “Naamah,” Sarah Blake’s début novel about Noah’s wife as she struggles to maintain her own sanity and, of course, the sanity of her family members. ![]() ![]() ![]() But even if it doesn’t, I think there’s still much to appreciate about Franny and Zooey. While the core essence of her complaint is a purity test of hypocritical proportions, if it vibes, it vibes. And the worst part is, if you go bohemian or something crazy like that, you’re conforming just as much as everybody else, only in a different way. But just so tiny and meaningless and–sad-making. ![]() Everything everybody does is so–I don’t know–not wrong, or even mean, or even stupid necessarily. Or taken an apartment in New York and worked for a magazine or an advertising company. ![]() I mean if he were a girl–somebody in my dorm, for example–he’d have been painting scenery in some stock company all summer. If you are in that state of mind, in which Franny’s attacks against the posers and phonies are simply better enunciated versions of your internal monologue, then Salinger doesn’t need justifying. ![]() Otherwise, the blows bounce off and you end thinking that he’s “Positive Thinking for the upper middle classes, as Double Your Energy and Live Without Fatigue for Sarah Lawrence girls.” You have to be in a certain state of mind for Salinger to hit you. Thomas Jiang About Me Projects Writings Notes ![]() ![]() ![]() Role in the Edge Chronicles Role in the Twig Trilogy The shrykes would select various individuals and creatures and pit them against wig-wigs, betting on the outcomes. The wig-wig-arena was a stadium in the Great Shryke Slave Market. The Wig-wig arena Main article: Wig-Wig Arena " I know all about the Wig-Wig Arena. However, doing so in the Deepwoods was hazardous because it was a place filled with flammable things, so climbing a tree was the safest method of escape. They were scared of fire and so immolating them was an effective way of both killing wig-wigs and forcing them to flee. They were known to gather below elevated shryke roosts, such as the Great Shryke Slave Market awaiting all manner of creatures either to fall from the gangways above, or be cast out by the shrykes. Wig-wigs did not need to drink water, as they obtained their moisture from their food. However a lone wig-wig couldn't cause much harm. ![]() They did not make any sounds, but attacked in silence Wig-wigs hunted in packs and devoured every scrap of their prey, leaving no evidence of their kill behind them. They hunt in packs and devour their victims, dead or alive." -Twig ![]() Wig-Wigs had two rows of teeth that resembled a bear trap. To someone who did not know them, they looked sweet, but this impression was lost once they assembled in a pack. Wig-wigs were small, furry, orange creatures. Appearance " A small furry creature, like a ball of orange fluff" -Twig ![]() ![]() It’s testament to the universal story and the brilliant storytelling - it’s deceptively simple yet so powerful.” - Peggy Seeger ![]() I love hearing all the different ways that singers make the song their own. Now I’m grounded within it and that makes me happy. ![]() Ewan wrote the tune to mimic the heartbeat of someone wildly in love and I used to feel like a soaring bird when I sang this song. I’ve come to realise that the lyrics can be interpreted in so many ways. In Their Words: “I’ve had two life partners, one male and one female, and I have three children and 9 grandchildren. The final verse is often recorded by others as “I knew our joy would fill the earth” Seeger poignantly sings the original lyric: “I thought our joy would fill the earth and last till the end of time.” That was the only time he ever sang the song, now considered one of the greatest love songs of all time. ![]() He sang it down a crackling transatlantic phone line to Peggy who had returned to the United States, unwilling to continue an affair with a married man. Song: “The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face”Įditor’s Note: “The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face” was written for Peggy Seeger by her then-estranged lover Ewan MacColl in early 1957. ![]() ![]() Like Westerns were cheaper to film given their sparse location, this kind of Post Nuclear Wasteland were often the template of "space shows" on the ground. But there's enough basic camaraderie/chemistry among the troupe to make the story work for its own sake, which may have backfired since it's somewhat weak as an attempted series - by the end there's not much to anticipate. ![]() ![]() John Saxon in Gene Roddenberry's PLANET EARTHĪlas, this character doesn't match up to the visual potential since he drinks the bitches' brew that turns all men into saps. Of the harsh female slavers, Diana Muldaur stands out as the sexiest and, at first, most cold-hearted and cutthroat.Īlso on board is Ted Cassidy who, like Richard Kiel (one had been originally cast as THE INCREDIBLE HULK while the other provided the voice), is a sort of exploitation in himself being practically seven-feet-tall with a low, droning voice and limitless strength. It's a good pilot since all the same elements of a TV-movie are intact, along with suspense and a lot of primal fighting which leads to an escape plan finale. ![]() Diana Muldaur in Gene Roddenberry's PLANET EARTH ![]() ![]() But Greer has a way of making things happen, regardless of obstacles. After a toxic paper plant closed, the bay has only recently been reborn, and Eb has no intention of letting anybody screw with his town again. A lifelong resident of Cypress Key, Eben wants the town to be revitalized, not commercialized. ![]() Eben Thibadeaux, the town mayor, completely objects to Greer's plan. There's one motel, a marina, a long stretch of pristine beach and an old fishing pier with a community casino-which will be perfect for the film's explosive climax. She zeroes in on a sleepy Florida panhandle town called Cypress Key. Greer has been given one more chance, if she can find the perfect undiscovered beach hideaway for a big-budget movie. ![]() ![]() But her last project literally went up in flames, and her career is on the verge of flaming out. As a movie location scout, picture-perfect is the name of the game. ![]() |
