6/24/2023 0 Comments Sonnet 116 by william shakespeareHere, the young man’s refusal to beget a child is likened to his spending inherited wealth on himself rather than investing it or sharing it generously. Sonnet 4 The poet returns to the idea of beauty as treasure that should be invested for profit.If the young man decides to die childless, all these faces and images die with him. Just as the young man’s mother sees her own youthful self reflected in the face of her son, so someday the young man should be able to look at his son’s face and see reflected his own youth. Sonnet 3 The poet urges the young man to reflect on his own image in a mirror.In the other, though still himself subject to the ravages of time, his child’s beauty will witness the father’s wise investment of this treasure. In the first, the young man will waste the uninvested treasure of his youthful beauty. Sonnet 2 The poet challenges the young man to imagine two different futures, one in which he dies childless, the other in which he leaves behind a son.The young man’s refusal to beget a child is therefore self-destructive and wasteful. Only if they reproduce themselves will their beauty survive. Sonnet 1 In this first of many sonnets about the briefness of human life, the poet reminds the young man that time and death will destroy even the fairest of living things.

6/24/2023 0 Comments The female persuasion a novelSurprisingly, Faith takes a particular liking to Greer and even gives her a business card. Faith advises Greer to let the situation go for fear that if she "seem to be hounding this person, then sympathy will redound to him" (44) Greer takes this advice, and in so doing develops a reverence for Faith equal to that of Zee's for her idol. Greer, having difficulty accepting the decision, speaks with Faith Frank following a speech given on campus. It is decided that Darren will be allowed to remain on campus. Over the weeks that follow the incident, half a dozen other female Ryland students report similar encounters with Darren, and a disciplinary hearing is held. The girls end up at a fraternity party one night, where Greer is assaulted by Darren Tinzler. During that time, she has met Zee Eisenstat, a confident and attractive lesbian activist.

Set in a desert landscape as beautiful as it is dangerous, The Territory captures the current border issues from the eyes of a tough, compelling heroine and richly evokes the American Southwest. And when the town's self-appointed protector of the Second Amendment is murdered and his cache of weapons disappears, it's clear that she doesn't have to pick sides in this war. After arresting one of the cartel's hit men and killing another, Josie finds her life at risk for doing a job that many people would rather see her quit. Still, many of the locals would rather take the law into their own hands than get help from police chief Josie Gray, even when they're up against a cartel's private army. None of them realized that their small town would become a hot spot for Mexican drug runners, whose turf battles have turned both sides of the Rio Grande into a war zone. The townspeople had sought out this remote corner of Western Texas in hopes of living lives of solitude and independence. At the end of State Road 170 and just past a ghost town lies Artemis, population 2,500. 6/23/2023 0 Comments Stephen king's night shiftHis first published work was in the late 1980s for the Stephen King related newsletter called Castle Rock.

Ritual can be seen as a kind of aesthetics of daily life. In the Dao of the kings of old, This was the beauty." (1.12) Li is translated usually as ritual, but this is ritual considered broadly. Still, all of this can be done in an aesthetic way, understood more broadly.Īnother passage that concerns aesthetics: "In the practice of li, Harmony is the key. It is sufficient to conduct oneself well, speak carefully, and choose friends who follow the dao. But this is not necessarily literal love of reading and writing. "If a person is apt in conduct and cautious in speech, stays near those who keep to the dao and corrects himself thereby, he may be said to love learning." The alternative to the narrow aesthete is someone who loves learning. "A junzi is not concerned that food fill his belly he does not see comfort in his residence." (1.14) The junzi is no crude aesthete in the sense of being concerned with good food and a comfortable home. "To be poor but joyful to be wealthy and love li." (1.15) The junzi achieves joy through this process of self-creation in which the civilized arts (li) are encountered with love. He polishes himself, creates himself as a work of art. The junzi (noble human) is as a sculpture, chiseled, carved, polished. "As though cut, as though chiseled, As though carved, as though polished" quote from the Poetry. 6/23/2023 0 Comments Sing you home book reviewPochoda sifts through myriad literary tropes, including allusions to Macbeth, mythology, even a bit of a Greek chorus, while not losing sight that “Sing Her Down” is a crime novel. As always, Picoult deals with big issues. O元5283011M ISBN 10 1737474301 ISBN 13 9781737474302 Community Reviews (0) Feedback No community reviews have been submitted for this work. Sing You Home is Jodi Picoult’s 18th novel. Sing You Home (Nashville Star Series) The Physical Object Format paperback. “Sing Her Down,” Pochoda’s tour de force, looks at the rage women may carry, why a person would abandon a comfortable, middle-class living for crime and violence. When you buy books using these links the Internet Archive may earn a small. A bleak setting to be sure, but brilliantly explored as Pochoda burrows deep into her characters’ psyche. She peoples this landscape with women on the margins who are plunged into one chaotic situation after another. Ivy Pochoda’s decidedly noir novels excavate a part of Los Angeles most people would prefer to ignore - the homeless camps, the run-down motels, the bits of sidewalks and alleys where someone has carved a home of sorts. Five writers can write about the same city and readers will be treated to five different versions of that area. Farrar, Strauss and Giroux, 288 pages, $28Įach author who makes the setting as much a character as the people who inhabit the story brings a different set of sensibilities, atmosphere and focus to their novels. 6/22/2023 0 Comments The leavers by lisa koMostly white Ridgeborough is certainly not the same thing as living in the Bronx and the immediate effect of culture shock hits hard: “In the factory dorm, sentences spilled out of me like a broken faucet, and when I moved even farther away and saw children splashing into rivers spurting from fire hydrants, water pouring into the streets like it was endless, I would see my younger self in that hydrant, but tugged open, a hungry stream.” Ridgeborough ain’t the BronxĪfter being adopted by the white college professor couple, Deming’s transition into the world of Daniel is rough. She often composes sentences dense with figurative imagery as a way of trying to convey her feelings: In fact, Polly voices an especially poetic sense of language whether speaking or in narration. I go there when the walls start to come.” Poetic Polly When she actually gives voice to this awareness, her son is left confused, wondering what she means: Polly is especially intense in her awareness of the symbolic state of walls as a prison. Overall, the narrative is thick with symbolic references to walls. We are thankful for their contributions and encourage you to make your own.

One woman’s surgery-induced weight loss results in an unwanted house guest.īodies become inconsequential, humans become monstrous, and anger becomes erotic. A salesclerk in a mall makes a horrifying discovery about a store’s dresses. A woman recounts her sexual encounters as a plague spreads across the earth. Startling narratives map the realities of women’s lives and the violence visited on their bodies, both in myth and in practice.Ī wife refuses her husband’s entreaties to remove the mysterious green ribbon from around her neck. In her provocative debut, Carmen Maria Machado demolishes the borders between magical realism and science fiction, comedy and horror, fantasy and fabulism. 6/22/2023 0 Comments Priest the prestigePriest builds the tension nicely, with the added impetus - absent from the film version - of the story's present- day element, in which the magicians' descendants struggle to make sense of their fraught and ultimately violent legacy. With neither able to believe the evidence of their eyes, they are put in the same open-mouthed position as their audiences. But what really fuels their mutual obsession with one another is their inability to see how the other pulls off the 'prestige' - the moment at which the trick is finally effected. Soon, they are both attempting to confound audiences with their feats of 'bilocation' - the ability to appear in two places at the same time. But, far from being a straightforward account of the triumphs of a magician celebrated for his illusions 'The New Transported Man', Borden's book is something far more sinister: the tale of an anguished rivalry with Rupert Angier, an aristocratic amateur whom Borden first encounters fabricating sensational stunts at seances. When struggling journalist Andrew Westley receives a mysterious book in the post - the memoirs of Alfred Borden, the self-styled 'Professeur de Magie' - his interest is piqued not least because he was adopted at birth, and one of the few things he knows about his birth family is that they were called Borden. |
