5/29/2023 0 Comments Strength jane washingtonTheir early months of marriage were happy ones, and their first child, Elizabeth, was born in 1533. He managed to get his first marriage annulled by breaking with the pope and declaring himself head of the Church of England and then Anne Boleyn consented to marry him. For seven years he wooed her, and for seven years she put him off. She was intelligent and outspoken, and had educated opinions about politics and religious reform and came to the court of Henry VIII when she was 20 years old, to serve as lady-in-waiting to Queen Catherine of Aragon. On this date in 1536, Anne Boleyn, the second wife of England’s King Henry VIII, was arrested for high treason, adultery, and incest. © Eastern Washington University Press, 2007. “Girl in the Doorway” by Dorianne Laux from Awake. 5/29/2023 0 Comments More igami by dori kleberFor children from under-resourced communities, the loss can be significant these children tend to lose roughly 30 percent of the gains they made in math during the school year and 20 percent of their reading gains.Īccording to the Brookings Institution, children from underserved communities generally keep up academically with those from more privileged neighborhoods during the school year: The loss is due to the time outside school. Most of us have heard of the “ summer slide” in which children lose some of the lessons they’ve learned during the previous school year. 5/29/2023 0 Comments No country for old men book pagesLlewellyn Moss, the protagonist, is a Vietnam vet and sort of a generic good old boy. In his recent (but not latest) novel, No Country for Old Men (2005), Cormac McCarthy returns to the Texas-Mexico border, although unlike the Border Trilogy, which is set in the late 1940s and early 1950s, the time is now closer to our own, the early 1980s. Cruz plays the delectable young Mexican aristocrat, Alejandra, and Matt Damon plays a sensitive young cowboy, John Grady Cole who, while falling in love with Alejandra, ponders the evil and pain of the world: “What he had not known was that it was mindless….” The trilogy continues with The Crossing and concludes with Cities of the Plain in which a now older John Grady Cole falls in love with a beautiful Mexican prostitute. A few years later (2000), Billy Bob Thorton directed the film adaptation starring Matt Damon and Penelope Cruz. Cormac McCarthy is best known for his Border Trilogy, three novels set along the Texas-Mexico border, the first of which, All the Pretty Horses, is set almost entirely in Mexico, south of the Texas border.Īll the Pretty Horses won both the National Book Award (1992) and the National Book Critics Circle Award. 5/29/2023 0 Comments The heart principle seriesThe Heart Principle is a winning balancing act. I appreciated this novel’s frankness about the characters’ struggles with mental health, the awkwardness of new sex, and the nuances of Asian American identity. Anna sees a therapist and receives a diagnosis that helps her put her relationships into perspective. Anna’s father falls ill, and The Heart Principle tackles hard questions about familial expectations and taking care of a sick parent. This book is much more than a fun, lighthearted romance. Maybe there really are other fish in the sea… Plus, they discover a shared love of ocean documentaries. He’s not who she thought she would end up with. Then her longtime boyfriend decides to open up their relationship, which is how she meets Quan. She’s practicing the same piece over and over, unable to play it straight through. Helen Hoang introduces us to Anna, a violinist who accidentally goes viral but is paralyzed with anxiety over her newfound fame. If you crave the electricity of these early moments (or if you’re a hardcore rom-com fan like me), then might I recommend The Heart Principle. There’s nothing more exciting than the possibility of love. * A statement that the "information in the notification is accurate", and "under penalty of perjury, the complaining party is authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed" * A statement that the complaining party "in good faith believes that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or law" * Information reasonably sufficient to permit the service provider to contact the complaining party, such as an address, telephone number, and, if available, an electronic mail address * Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of the infringing activity and that is to be removed * A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed 5/28/2023 0 Comments The Poe Shadow by Matthew PearlAdditionally, they list a poet of the month, a poem of the month, and a whole page devoted to famous love poems. “Because I Could Not Stop For Death” by Emily Dickinson “Because I Could Not Stop For Death” is grim, elegant, and rhythmic. ‘We would see a sign!’ The word within a word, unable to speak a word, Swaddled with darkness.

More than anything, Letter to my Daughter portrays amazing models of female leadership and strength in Maya Angelou, her mother Vivien and her grandmother. Growing up in segregation and Southern humiliation, it is heartbreaking to read of how devalued she felt as a child and the ways in which Northern racism still existed, albeit more insidiously. I am grateful for her candid honesty and the wisdom she offers to anyone who will listen. A collection of short essays and anecdotes, poems and advise from this celebrated poet, author, singer, director and teacher, Letter to my Daughter by Maya Angelou is everything she would say to the daughter she never had, and as a result, to all the daughters in this world. 5/28/2023 0 Comments The last tale of the flower brideReview: Roshani Chokshi is that bewildering kind of author whose work I can sometimes really enjoy, while at other times, I’ll pick up a book from her, DNF it quickly, and swear off her work entirely.
