5/29/2023 0 Comments Real life novel by brandon taylorPeople's attitudes don't seem like they’re as real as height or weight would be, but they are. But then there are all of the ways in which our bodies are recording devices, recording everyone's attitudes about our bodies. And yes, that is one part of the body that is undeniably real. We take up as much physical space in the world as we take up. Within our bodies, we're as tall as we are, we're big as we are. Our bodies are made up of our lived experiences. Wallace stopped just short of that point, the point at which the water wavered on the very cusp of the container that meant to hold it, the point at which things swell to an unbearable height before giving way, the point at which something must either recede or break and extend.” “The water level rose and rose until it was almost overflowing,” Taylor writes in a scene during which Wallace pours a glass of water. The accumulation of harm from microaggressions and an avoidance of grief hit a crescendo over the course of a weekend, during which Wallace and one of his ostensibly straight, white friends have a series of emotionally charged encounters. The only Black person in his friend group, Wallace is constantly navigating the literal and metaphorical waters of gatekeeping in the various social situations that populate his life. Wallace, the novel’s protagonist, is a Black queer man in a Midwestern university town, where he’s recently moved from Alabama to pursue his Ph.D in biochemistry. But he seeks to explain some of the worst excesses of the prisoners as rational means of survival in their caged environment. He does not condone the crimes committed outside prison. Burger's recent challenge to reform its prisons - in the spirit, it must be hoped, of Winston Churchill's earlier challenge: "The mood and temper of the public in regard to the treatment of crime and criminals is one of the most unfailing tests of any country."īy such a test, America fails abysmally in the eyes of Abbott. His allegations, self-serving though they often are, ought to be part of the debate, as the United States takes up Chief Justice Warren E. His indictment of the treatment of prissoners by the authorities, and by each other, is as harsh, profane, and explicit as they come. Who could read Solzhenitsyn on the Soviet prison system and be struck by how lenientm it is? Jack Henry Abbott did - after spending most of his life since boyhood in American prisons, much of the time in solitary confinement. 5/29/2023 0 Comments Freud by Peter GayHe has come up with some real plums, too, notably what he calls the “exhaustive record” which Mabel Loomis Todd, a middle-class girl who grew up in Washington, D.C. Peering behind the formal 19th-century attitudes to sex, he has not only read the relevant secondary authorities, and ranged very widely in the published diaries and memoirs in English, French, and German, he has also tapped the rich sources of unpublished letters and diaries deposited in American libraries. Peter Gay is an ambitious and unusually wide-ranging historian of culture, and no one can fail to admire the industry with which he seeks knowledge and his zest in communicating it. We are promised that this is the first installment of “a project of enormous scope,” a “multivolume study of the European and American middle classes from the 1820’s to the outbreak of World War I.” Actually, it is an extensive but not particularly systematic survey of sexuality in the 19th century. She begins to learn-slowly-that ordinary people, often strangers, have immense power to save lives and restore hope. When Farah steps on a land mine on her way to school, her world becomes much smaller than the dreams and hopes in her heart. The sounds of gunfire and fighter planes are as normal to Farah as the sounds of traffic or children playing are to a schoolgirl in America. Bombs are falling all over her country, and her native Kabul is swelling with hundreds of thousands of people looking for homes and jobs. All I heard was a loud ringing in my ears."įarah Ahmedi is born into the world just as the war between the mujahideen and the Soviets reaches its peak in Afghanistan. Their lips were moving, but I could hear no voices. They were all staring down at me with huge eyes. I woke up on the ground, surrounded by a crowd, men and boys.no women. I remember a shower of soil and then nothing. And then suddenly a fire flashed in my face and the earth seemed to move beneath my feet. "I was late to school, and that's all I could think about. 5/29/2023 0 Comments Tao te ching the book of the wayMany artists, including poets, painters, calligraphers, and gardeners, have used the Tao Te Ching as a source of inspiration. It also strongly influenced other schools of Chinese philosophy and religion, including Legalism, Confucianism, and Chinese Buddhism, which was largely interpreted through the use of Taoist words and concepts when it was originally introduced to China. The Tao Te Ching, along with the Zhuangzi, is a fundamental text for both philosophical and religious Taoism. The oldest excavated portion dates back to the late 4th century BC, but modern scholarship dates other parts of the text as having been written-or at least compiled-later than the earliest portions of the Zhuangzi. The Tao Te Ching ( UK: / ˌ t aʊ t iː ˈ tʃ ɪ ŋ/, US: / ˌ d aʊ d ɛ ˈ dʒ ɪ ŋ/ simplified Chinese: 道德经 traditional Chinese: 道德經 pinyin: Dàodé Jīng ( listen)) is a Chinese classic text written around 400 BC and traditionally credited to the sage Laozi, though the text's authorship, date of composition and date of compilation are debated. 5/28/2023 0 Comments Life as we knew it book 2When an asteroid hits the moon and knocks it significantly closer to the Earth, things suddenly start to change. This got me thinking – what if we talked about the real end of the world? Feedback from students showed that they wanted a book that was scary, thrilling, and left them seriously spooked. If you’re looking to go end-of-the-world scary in young adult fiction, there’s only one real choice – the books from Susan Beth Pfeffer’s mega-popular The Last Survivor series. One thing I remember from my teen years is that everything felt like the end of the world. And you’re left with the impossible task of finding a book so good, 7th and 8th graders will take a break from their busy lives to sit down and read. Take that, add a few years, lots of growing up, and about 2x the homework. Do you remember my lamenting about finding a book exciting and engaging enough to hook a big group of 5th and 6th graders? Okay. 5/28/2023 0 Comments Meg the trench steve altenWhy readers love The Meg 'Two words: Jurassic shark.' LA Times 'An adrenaline-pumping thriller.

5/28/2023 0 Comments Kellan and kiera thoughtlessthat’s basically what Kiera’s life was like, not knowing what was real, what was real for her, and what was going to make her happy. Of course when you’re in a pseudo relationship with a rock god, who has a bit of a history of being a man whore, you never know what to believe and you get jealous at every turn. Then, in Effortless, (book 2), Kellan’s band the D-bags was starting to make it big and they went on tour, with Kiera having to stay behind to finish school and all that. Of course, you can’t help yourself being a female living with a rock god and one thing led to another, and a sordid affair began, putting a wedge between Denny and Kiera, and some how bringing K&K closer together He had lived in Seattle during high school when he was an exchange student (from Australia) and lived with Kellan’s family, so Kellan was putting them up when they came out west. So if you remember, in Thoughtless (book 1) we were introduced to Kiera right when she had made the decision to move from Ohio to Seattle with her boyfriend Denny who had graduated and found a great job. Ahhh, at long last we get book 3 in the Thoughtless series which takes us to the more mature stage of the relationship between Rock Star Kellan and Writer Kiera. |
