Talk about kevin book5/11/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() "At the end of the day, I have no idea, and that pure, serene, ignorance has become, itself, a funny kind of solace," she writes in a letter to her deceased husband. While the film isn't as explicit as the book, both versions of Eva are grappling with Kevin's final answer as they wonder if it's even worth feeling weighed down by the question of responsibility. She lives with the guilt of what her son did, on top of the guilt of knowing she did nothing about the various warning signs. My thesis statement is that Eva’s relationship with Kevin was always rocky until Eva realized that the way she acted and treated Kevin was the problem. This book is about Eva and all of the events that happened before and after the birth of her son Kevin. Not that she has a ton of options - she struggles to find work and be accepted by those around her. My novel is called We Need To Talk About Kevin by Lionel Shriver. Her public perception is unlikely to change, but Eva appears firm in her choice to stick around for Kevin's sake. ![]() Is she channeling the brief moment of affection between the two when he was young and sick, or is she working toward being a better mother upon his release? She could move away for a fresh start, but she's shown setting up a room for him, complete with his navy blue bedding and Robin Hood book. She mentions that she believes he'll be released in five years. ![]()

Sanders5/11/2023 ![]() All have their own beauty, and all have their own drawbacks that place the main characters in danger. As a reader you get to explore multiple planets, from swamps to deserts to jungles. Often a character’s earlier appearances are more world-building than necessity to know, with all relevant details explained in the novel that character features. Sanders keeps the number of characters limited, so you don’t need to really be guessing who is who. For example, a side character that appears for only a few pages in a novel may appear as a main character in a subsequent novel. The novels build upon each other in a way that makes character reappearances sometimes unexpected, and fun. It’s a bit slow starting, but once you’re in its hard to not fall in love. ![]() ![]() The Mate Index was a surprisingly good read that draws you into a universe filled with complex alien cultures, monsters ready to eat you, and compelling characters. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() You'll learn to:* Examine your own motivations, needs, wants and desires* Ease your way into established communities* Understand etiquette in different adventurous sex communities* Familiarize yourself with the many types of events available to you* Care for your relationships as you explore new territory* Negotiate for play and aftercare* Go back to the "world at large” without ruffling feathers*.

Fortunately, he’d left the plans on his home computer. The best, longest funeral in the history of mankind. With a good scope, you could still see his ship going at a marginal percentage of the speed of light, heading out into the big empty. Then Solomon Epstein had built his little modified fusion drive, popped it on the back of his three-man yacht, and turned it on. A hundred and fifty years before, when the parochial disagreements between Earth and Mars had been on the verge of war, the Belt had been a far horizon of tremendous mineral wealth beyond viable economic reach, and the outer planets had been beyond even the most unrealistic corporate dream. ![]() Una habitación propia by Virginia Woolf5/10/2023 ![]() ![]() By going through an experiment of writing situated in the spaces of a demolished house, I discuss how the construction of dissident characters who perform in the house and the application of different genres and experimental writings complicate the house and bring on the writing of a dissident architecture. One is: how to tell a story we cannot tell? And the other: how can this struggle with an impossible narration create a dissident architecture? To investigate these questions, in this text domestic spaces of houses are considered as a key example of performing grounds for dissidents. ![]() In this way, writing dissident architecture deals with two main questions. writing with the dominant power, but against it, is what dissidence could bring into writing architecture. To develop a tactic of writing with unwelcome co-authors, i.e. Dissident writing is to write with multiple voices and many authors-not all of whom are welcome. By situating writing in contexts where direct ways of expression are impossible, I investigate how dissident writing can circumvent the bans of an oppressive power by inventing an Aesopian language. ![]() It is to create new grounds, sites of actions, and construct characters who build these grounds and change them by inhabiting them critically and performatively. ![]() Writing architecture is not writing about architecture, but writing it, making it. ![]() Tim winton cloud street5/10/2023 ![]() ![]() With his drowning, Fish returns to the state that he was in prior to being spiritually torn in two, leaving him broken, despite being clinically described with the alliterative tricolon ‘alert, aware, sane’. In his article Go Home said the Fish Michael McGirr states that ‘the reunification of both Fish Lambs is a moment of healing’. Fish’s death joins the omniscient narrator and the drowning victim, as described in the closing tetracolon ‘Perfectly. ![]() The reunification of Fish consolidates the spiritual role that he has throughout the entire novel. The consistency of the spiritual element is resolved with the final chapters with the reunification of Fish Lamb, and the subtle influence of elements of both Christian and Indigenous belief systems. I believe that the unexplained spiritual events in the everyday are the most memorable elements of the narrative, due to the consistent nature with which they appear through the text, giving it strong integrity as a unified whole. ![]() Within the final two chapters the key spiritual themes of the story are resolved, which itself is the central theme of the story. The conclusion of Tim Winton’s novel Cloudstreet is the amalgamation of the entire spiritual element of the narrative. ![]() The wonder book by emma donoghue5/10/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() It was released in 2022 and was nominated for a bunch.
