6/23/2023 0 Comments Howl part 1 by allen ginsbergThe figure has been used in a variety of modern artistic settings, including John Milton’s “ Paradise Lost” and Fritz Lang’s pioneering film “Metropolis.” In Ginsberg’s poem, it comes to symbolize all of society’s great evils: corporate power and domination, militarization, governmental violence and oppression, just to name a few. The use of the name “Moloch,” a name traditionally associated with specific gods or rituals from ancient Middle Eastern and Mediterranean religion, is most commonly used to denote a power or force that demands great sacrifice. Part II, however, gives a very specific name for these social forces - “ Moloch.” Though one could certainly make social and political inferences from Part I, and Ginsberg does challenge the power authorities of institutions like higher education, mental health, and public safety, the social forces that cause the hardships, violence, and addiction in the lives of the “best minds” are not named beyond vague references. Thus, it is different from Part I, which was mainly a fractured narrative of the lives of the Beat generation. Part II uses a great deal of metaphor and symbolism to make social and political points. Ginsberg writes that Part I “names the monster.that preys on the Lamb.” The Lamb, in this case, are the “best minds” and “angel headed hipsters” of Part I. Part II of Ginsberg’s “Howl” was written separately from Part I, but within the same period of Ginsberg’s life in San Francisco. 6/23/2023 0 Comments Jumping Jude by Lucy LennoxEach book tells the story of one of the Marian brothers' search for true love. While it can also be listened to on its own, Jumping Jude is the third in the Made Marian series. While it can also be listened to on its own, Jumping Jude is the third in the Made Marian series. I've faced guns, knives, explosives and yet it's Jude Marian who may end up bringing me to my knees.įair warning: Jude and Derek's story contains frequent detailed scenes of man parts touching, little old ladies being inappropriate, and two lonely hearts coming together in perfect harmony. Except his arsenal includes washboard abs and a killer set of pipes. If I have to hear Jude sing his mega-hit "Bluebells" one more time, I might murder him myself, and after six years in special ops, I know my way around a weapon. Now I have to worry about outing myself to millions of fans if I can't keep my hands off him in public.ĭerek: Now I'm an ex-Marine turned babysitter.

Jude: Reaching the top of the country music charts brings out the crazy, and there's no one crazier than my ex. 6/23/2023 0 Comments The sword of summer bookSo, the basic plot is much like Percy Jackson, in that a young boy, in this case a homeless orphan, Magnus Chase, finds out that he is demigod and has to basically find some friends and save the world while learning about the given mythology that they belong to. The book is 497 pages and is also a pretty fun audio book. But this series stands out because get this, the Norse god Loki, (yeah the one featured in popular Marvel Avengers movies), in this series, has a daughter…named Samirah Al-Abbas…who wears hijab…and is a valkyrie…and is an Iraqi immigrant, and is a main character, and is really awesome. Yes, you are on the correct blog.īrace yourself, if you haven’t heard about Magnus Chase, son of the god Frey, whose series is now on book three, it is ok, Rick Riordan has brought a lot of mythology back to pop culture in a fairly short amount of time. Yes, the whole book is about fake gods and fictional demigods. Yes, that is a Rick Riordan book cover you see. 6/22/2023 0 Comments Border songs by jim lynchAnd although the plot sort of fizzles out, the author’s charming and quirky characters engage the reader and make Border Songs an enjoyable portrait of life on the “border”. While there is plenty of action in this story what with arresting marijuana smugglers, suspected terrorists and vanloads of foreign prostitutes, it is really a wry, humorous story about our differences and similarities. Between the Border Patrol and the smugglers/growers lie the regular inhabitants, the dairy farmers, retirees and property owners, many who make money on the side by turning a blind eye to strangers crossing their land during the night. Brandon is in love with Canadian pothead Madeline Rousseau who has been running wild since her mother’s death, has started growing marijuana indoors. First and foremost, on the American side, we meet newly appointed border guard, 6’8” dyslexic Brandon Vanderkool who relates to animals and birds but has great difficulty with people. The author peoples his book with characters that are as unique as this open border. This border is a symbol of the trust and friendship that exists between the United States and Canada. On the Canadian side runs Zero Avenue and on the American, Boundary Road. Running eastwards from Blaine, the border between the two countries is very open, no fences no wires, simply a few markers and a shallow ditch. Border Songs by Jim Lynch is set in and around Blaine, Washington, a town right on the U.S./Canada border. Who can say what form of wiring will prove best at any given moment? Cybernetics and computer culture, for example, may favor a somewhat autistic cast of mind.” US writer Harvey Blume, with whom Singer corresponded with about their mutual interest in Autism, further popularized the word in a 1998 issue of The Atlantic, stating, “Neurodiversity may be every bit as crucial for the human race as biodiversity is for life in general. But most don’t know that Judy Singer, an Australian sociologist, first used the term Neurodiversity in her sociology honors thesis in 1996-1998 (and formally presented the paper in 1998). Many of us would concur that the term Neurodiversity is representative of the fact that differences in neurology should be recognized and respected as a social category, similar to ethnicity, socioeconomic class, sexual orientation, gender, or disability.

The new must-read cozy crime mystery from the bestselling author of Dial A For Aunties Put the kettle on, there’s a mystery brewing Tea-shop owner. I couldn’t stop laughing & turning the pages, &it’s the perfect escape from a lot of the more somber, heart wrenching stories of immigrant women and WOC. Netflix is an American global on-demand Internet streaming media provider, that has distributed a number of original programs, including original series, specials, miniseries, documentaries and films. 3. Dial A for Aunties by Jesse Q Sutanto: This book is technically a mystery, but for me it was pure comedy. In addition to the 10 discs, the box set includes a book entitled The Music which holds the CDs and incorporates 30 pages of information about the songs, including photographs of performance and information on charting. In 2003, Rolling Stone listed the compilation at #225 in its list of " Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Albums of All Time". In 1999, the compilation won two Grammy awards, for "Best Historical Album" and "Best Recording Package-Boxed". The New York Times hailed the release of the compilation, timed to coincide with what would have been Williams' 75th birthday, as "an important event," indicating "that it is impossible to understand contemporary country music, or popular music for that matter, without addressing Hank Williams's legacy". Among those 225 songs are 33 hit singles and 53 previously unreleased tracks. While a number of live and overdubbed songs are excluded, the ten disc collection contains 225 tracks, including studio sessions, live performances and demos. The Complete Hank Williams is a 1998 box set collecting almost all of the recorded works of country music legend Hank Williams, from his first recorded track in 1947 to the last session prior to his untimely death in 1953 at the age of 29.

Zweig's interest in psychology and the teachings of Sigmund Freud led to his most characteristic work, the subtle portrayal of character. Finding only growing loneliness and disillusionment in their new surroundings, he and his second wife committed suicide. In 1934, driven into exile by the Nazis, he emigrated to England and then, in 1940, to Brazil by way of New York. Zweig studied in Austria, France, and Germany before settling in Salzburg in 1913. He and his second wife committed suicide in 1942. Among his most famous works are Beware of Pity, Letter from an Unknown Woman, and Mary, Queen of Scotland and the Isles. He produced novels, plays, biographies, and journalist pieces. Stefan Zweig was one of the world's most famous writers during the 1920s and 1930s, especially in the U.S., South America, and Europe. 6/21/2023 0 Comments William golding booksSince the age of seven, Golding had been writing stories, and at the age of twelve he attempted to write a novel. As a boy, his favorite authors included H. His father, Alex, was a schoolmaster, while his mother, Mildred, was active in the Women's Suffrage Movement (the movement for women's right to vote). Golding was born in Saint Columb Minor in Cornwall, England, in 1911. Golding's reputation rests primarily upon his first novel, Lord of the Flies (1954), which is consistently regarded as an effective and disturbing portrayal of the fragility of civilization. The winner of the 1983 Nobel Prize in Literature, William Golding is among the most popular and influential British authors to have emerged in the second half of the twentieth century. |
