![]() I didn't really identify McEwan in the same way, although I loved her performances. Joan will always be the character naturally, but Julia is actually rather wonderful, having read all of the Miss Marple novels I have a mental picture of what I believe her to look like and how I'd expect her to behave, mannerisms etc, and Julia hits the mark incredibly well, there seems a softer side to her. I'll start with Miss Marple herself, I was a fan of Geraldine, I liked the sparky twinkle in the eye that she had, she was sweet and tough at the same time. ![]() ![]() The focus for this episode is the characters, not gimmicks. After doing Geraldine McEwan a huge injustice in Nemesis, sending her out of a hatchet job of a script, it became clear there was an effort to strip the episode back, and pick out the core of what Christie did so well. ![]() 7/5/2023 0 Comments Cormac mccarthy the road 2006![]() The fact that vigilance is a matter of life and death means that the father’s love is ideally unrelenting, and this excites a kind of yearning in the reader to feel such love, or to be its object. The father has decided that they need to keep walking until they reach the ocean, which might somehow be exempt from the general desolation, but to travel the road is to see terrible things and to be in continual danger. The father in Cormac McCarthy’s The Road is an avatar of that ferocity and power, and the novel is frequently praised for the intensity of the father’s love as he and his son follow the road through the “black jackstraw land” of a cold, postapocalyptic landscape. Freed, it frees prodigious energies whose object is the child’s survival. It can lead a subdued life, this love, without once forgetting that its homeground is the old savannah of life-and-death. ![]() ![]() It is rarely seen its magnitude is mostly irrelevant to ordinariness. Comprehension of the shocking extent of one’s love for one’s child is a secret component of big moments like birth or, knock on wood, bad accidents, and an ongoing crisis requires sustained exercise of this love whose wildness and authority are usually obscured by the clutter of lesser emotion, the white noise of distraction. ![]() ![]() It might be easy to be a good father in the wake of an apocalypse. ![]() 7/5/2023 0 Comments 1984 book![]() ![]() The party even decides the propaganda that they will give to the people, and anytime that something changes, Winston and other workers have to change everything.

But when the ordinary person had two drinks, Augusten was circling the drain by having twelve when the ordinary person went home at midnight, Augusten never went home at all.

Blue Rain, and a cohort of other tough-talking low-income girls. Here, she meets the encouraging and dedicated teacher Ms. After Precious is removed from school she starts studying at an alternative program called Each One Teach One. Precious is also obese, and late in the film learns that she’s HIV positive. She lives with her abusive (emotionally, sexually, and physically) mother Mary (Mo’Nique). ![]() Sapphire asserts that Precious is not about specific student, but rather an amalgam of many young women.Ĭlaireece Precious Jones (Sidibe) is 16-years-old, illiterate, pregnant by her father for the second time and expelled from junior high. The book and the film are based on the experiences of African American poet and novelist Sapphire when she worked as a teacher in Harlem during the ’80s. ![]() Precious is now available on DVD and includes interviews with Sapphire, director Lee Daniels and executive producers Oprah and Tyler Perry.

It slid down his face, which was dark as a Spaniard’s.Ĭhauncey’s hand crept to the hilt of his sword. He hopped down from the monument, the ends of his black hair dripping rain. His torso was naked, his feet were bare, and peasant trousers hung low on his waist. Neither stone nor marble, the boy had arms and legs. ![]() At first glance what appeared to be a large angel topping a nearby monument rose to full height. There was movement along the fringe of Chauncey’s vision, and he snapped his head to the left. There was no fog tonight, but the darkness and onslaught of rain were deceiving enough. Chauncey stepped easily over the sunken graves and humus of the cemetery even in the thickest fog he could find his way home from here and not fear getting lost. ![]() Rain sheeted down on the darkening countryside surrounding the Château de Langeais. Then he tugged on his boots and started for home. He tore a silver buckle off his shoe, placed it in the girl’s palm, and watched her scurry away, mud slinging on her skirts. CHAUNCEY WAS WITH A FARMER’S DAUGHTER ON the grassy banks of the Loire River when the storm rolled in, and having let his gelding wander in the meadow, was left to his own two feet to carry him back to the château. ![]() ![]() ![]() Resistance: In most WW11 stories, we discover powerful themes of resistance. For me, the past timeline was the most engaging and I was always eager to return to it. The characters in this story represent the real-life individuals who risked their lives to save the books, to send books to soldiers, and to secretly provide reading material for Jewish patrons.ĭual Timelines: As is so often the case, one timeline is the more compelling in a story. ![]() I love historical fiction that reveals the actions of brave, real-life heroes. ![]() In 1983, Lily, a lonely teenager living in Montana, befriends a mysterious and reclusive, elderly, French neighbor woman and discovers they have a great deal in common.Īmerican Library in Paris Image Source: Wikipedia My Thoughts: Odile and the other librarians negotiate to keep the library open so they can protect the books and also make secret deliveries to their Jewish patrons. In 1939, idealistic, courageous, and ambitious Odile Souchet works at the American Library in Paris when the Nazis arrive. The Paris Library is a dual-timeline story of family, friendship, resistance, romance, betrayal, heroism, bravery, and books.
