Papademetriou did a great job depicting the way a teenager might really justify engaging in behavior that they know to be wrong. I found it particularly interesting that in this book, Hayley made a series of bad decisions, the kinds that are probably typical among teenagers. To be honest, there really isn't a lot of cheer in this book, other than the hope that comes with a couple budding friendships. While struggling through her parents' divorce, she loses her two best friends, she pines over a crush, and she finds herself the victim of mean girl behavior. Okay, she has a particular talent for baking cupcakes, and happens to be able to sell them in her grandmother's cafe, but otherwise she really seems normal. She's just a regular kid, trying to deal with regular middle school problems. I liked that Hayley continued to be relatable. Besides fleshing out some characters with autism and food allergies, she also introduces a new character who is Latino. In this sequel to Save the Cupcake!, Lisa Papademetriou continues her commitment to diversity.

He and his brother, Kachiun create a plan to execute their greedy brother, and succeed. Temujin decides that this cannot go on any longer and he must kill Bekter before the entire family perishes. He discovers that Bekter is keeping food that he hunted away from the family. On their first few nights alone, there is a very scarce amount of food and the entire family is starving, except for Temujin’s elder brother, Bekter. During his youth, Temujin experiences many traumatic events such as when his father is raided and killed by another tribe, and when he is abandoned, as well as his family to perish in the deserted plains by one of the bondsmen of Yesugei, Eeluk who declares himself khan of the Wolves, deceiving Temujin and his brothers. Temujin, later on known as Genghis Khan, is the son to Yesugei, who is the leader of the nomadic tribe called the Wolves. How can our contemporary from the picture-perfect English countryside paint such a vivid portrait of the 13th century warrior, leader, and visionary? This compelling novel, written by Conn Iggulden is about the hardships and victories of Genghis Khan before he established the Mongol Empire.

Then Genghis: Birth of an Empire is a perfect read for you. This book review is part of series of reviews written by students at St. Drawing from his own experiences and observations, Baňka makes the personal political. Additionally, they express the nostalgic and surrealist character of the artist’s work. For Baňka, the photo is a snapshot not of a single moment, but of the essence of life, a “minuscule probe into time.” The photos presented in this exhibition demonstrate his awareness of the limits of the corporeal experience of time, and the fact that time continues beyond what humans can perceive. His fascination with the ephemeral is conveyed by his sensitivity to light and experimentation with multiple exposure. Baňka’s diverse body of work is delicately tied together by the thin thread of temporality. Such is evident both in his attention to expressions of the face and body in his images, as well as in the varied photographic techniques he uses to express himself. However, he has responded to state censorship less by embedding targeted political messages into his work, but by more broadly embracing the human capacity for expression in its totality. Born in Prague in 1941, Pavel Baňka lived through a period of fierce political oppression.

But let us forget about this unfortunate phraseology because it merely detracts from what turns out to be a very useful and important book.Įmpson has conceived of seven main types of literary ambiguity along with innumerable subtypes and variations, all of which he illustrates with detailed exegesis of poems, especially from Shakespeare, John Donne and John Dryden. While Empson's presumably working definition invokes "ordinary speech," his book deals almost exclusively with an analysis of poetry - hardly anybody's concept of ordinary speech. Nowhere in any of my sources - the third being Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary, Eleventh Edition (2008) - were the words "witty" or "deceitful" to be found. For the sake of brevity, let me quote the Concise Oxford English Dictionary:Īmbiguous: having more than one meaning open to different interpretations. None of these sources contradicted my presumed definition of "ambiguous" or "ambiguity," but interestingly and as an aside, the OED actually quotes this very sentence in its section of historical usage. Skipping over "in ordinary speech" for the moment, I was not aware that ambiguity was "as a rule witty or deceitful." This sentence sent me to two different dictionaries and ultimately - when I was at the library the other day anyway - to the 20-volume Oxford English Dictionary. "An ambiguity, in ordinary speech, means something very pronounced, and as a rule witty or deceitful." I got off to a very rocky start with this book - beginning with the first sentence! She didn't choose to be this way.īecause Maren Yearly doesn't just break hearts, she devours them. She hates herself for the bad thing she does, for what it's done to her family and her sense of identity for how it dictates her place in the world and how people see her-how they judge her. But her secret, shameful needs have forced her into exile. She wants to be someone people admire and respect. Maren Yearly is a young woman who wants the same things we all do. Soon to be a major motion picture starring Taylor Russell and Timoth e Chalamet Camille DeAngelis' Bones & All is an astonishingly original coming-of-age tale that is at once a gorgeously written horror story as well as a mesmerizing meditation on female power and sexuality. It commits the worst crime that literature is capable of, in that it fails to provide adequate motivation for the reader to turn the page.Īdmirers will say that Sterne intended it to be frustrating, as if this makes the frustration acceptable. I’d go further and say that it is literally ‘pointless’. Even the book’s admirers admit that it is ‘frustrating’ for the reader. I’ve read around it and I understand the reasons why Tristram Shandy is considered a classic, but my problems with the book are based entirely on the experience of reading it. It’s been a laborious task, and I’m afraid not a happy one. I have been reading and studying Laurence Sterne’s The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman for the past couple of months.
