So this is a tale inspired by The Princess Bride, and it shows. So she ventures off her island to face the seas of spores, dragons, and dangerous pirates so that she can save her love. If no one else is going to save him, she will herself. So when Charlie goes missing-kidnapped by the being known as the Sorceress-Tress decides to go after him. The noble family leaves the island, and Tress has to face the realization that she loves Charlie. Charlie, however, is the son of the Duke, who has plans for his son’s life. She washes windows, collects cups, and spends time with her best friend Charlie. In Tress of the Emerald Sea, the first of Brandon Sanderson’s “Secret Projects” (because he, like Hamilton, apparently writes like he’s running out of time), Tress has lived a quiet, simple life on an island known colloquially as The Rock (not Dwayne Johnson, sadly). I’ll share the blurb and send a warning that anything beyond the text-break contains spoilers:Īfter a messy public breakup, soap opera darling Jasmine Lin Rodriguez finds her face splashed across the tabloids. You Had Me at Hola was better in concept than execution, peppered with a few marvelous scenes like the chocolate chips in your cookie, while the rest was unpalatable cookie-dough filler. What I read instead is an okay scripted romance and uneven, serious contemporary romance: weak in rom and sans-com. In concept, this sounded terrific and, from the blurbish promise, a rom-com was exactly what I needed. You Had Me At Hola‘s double narrative has a “real-life” romance between the two stars of a streaming service( Net-, or Passion-flix?) contemporary Latinx reunited-husband-and-wife fictive-romance. In concept and structure, it was cool to find another novel paralleling Kathleen Gilles Seidel’s Again with its double narrative of “real-life” television-show set and fictive Regency romance. Alexis Daria’s You Had Me At Hola had quite the romance reading “buzz” and, as a result, I was both curious and keen to read it. Vernon, suddenly called away and tension simmering among the friends, will they be able to come together to stop this newest member of the mysterious Emerald Ring? It's time for Theo to make a choice about where-and with whom-he belongs. Then a famous ventriloquist arrives in town, and the Misfits are sure he (and his creepy dummy Daniel) are up to no good. She seems to understand the pull he feels between music and magic, family and friends. But when a girl named Emily begins to spend time with the group and the other Misfits grow suspicious, Theo is surprisingly drawn to her. Armed with his trusty violin bow, he completes the team with his levitation skills, unflappable calm, and proper manners. Theo Stein-Meyer loves being part of the Magic Misfits.

Williams likes to maintain complete control of every aspect of his artwork including making the clothes worn by the models, creating sets and props, and often making mechanisms either within the frame or the painting that reveal moving elements of the artwork and encourage interaction by the viewer. He then uses many layers of opaque and transparent Dutch oil paint to create luminous images. Kit Williams now primarily works as a figurative painter in which he uses traditional oil-painting techniques, fashioning first a wooden panel covered in linen and oil gesso. Williams published three other books and was commissioned to create three public clocks with elaborate mechanisms and moving parts, such as animals, for visual interest.īorn in Kent, England, Williams continues to paint figurative art at his studio in Gloucestershire.

Lewis and Joseph Campbell on the Veracity of Christianity James W. Not only does Menzies consider the ways Campbell and Lewis utilize myth in answering the question for their generation, but he also probes the influence and presence of myth in philosophy, media, ethics, history, literature, art, music, and religion in a contemporary context, thus helping readers consider answers for their own age. Although Lewis understood how one could see symbolism and lessons for life in miraculous events, he believed they were more than symbolic and indeed took place in human history. In contrast to Campbell, Lewis took the theological and miraculous literally. Lewis defined Christianity, and being truly human, as a relationship between the personal Creator and his creation mediated through faith in his son, Jesus Christ. Admitting that certain portions of the biblical record are historical, he taught the theological and miraculous aspects as symbolic, as stories in which the reader discovers what it means to be human today.Ĭ. Joseph Campbell understood Christianity as comprised of mythical themes similar to those in other religious and secular myths. Each generation asks in its own way, "What does it mean to be human?" In True Myth, James Menzies addresses this question by exploring myth and religion in the thinking of mythologist Joseph Campbell and Oxford don C. “But when I mention the watch, he says that what he really wants isn’t a good, but a service: a threesome with me and another woman.” “For his 40th, I decide to buy him a vintage watch,” Druckerman divulged in her column about the tryst. According to her new book, the couple’s threesome took place back in 2009, when Kuper marked his milestone birthday.

We all speak with the accent of the region we are raised in during the critical language learning period from 2 to 6 years of age. So, the southern dialect is simply a variation of grammar spoken in that particular region, the southern tier of US states. Sorry, teachers, I know this hurts, but these expressions represent nothing but a regional dialect. The important thing to remember as you laugh at these entries is that they represent perfectly good English. So, this collection is as much a historical document as one about language and accents. That southern accent has almost been successfully eradicated by the excellent Southern school systems and the invasion of northern companies, eager to benefit from the high levels of creativity and intelligence found in the Southern gene pool. We both share a love for the southern accent of that warm and beautiful state. I grew up just down the road from Andy Griffith in North Carolina. It is in the prelude to the novel titled All in the Golden Afternoon that we learn about the origins of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. And it all started with a simple boat trip. Even with out-dated references to Victorian England, the story has managed to transcend all cultural boundaries and grown to be more influential than ever in the 21st century. How did a novel made up of literary nonsense become one of the most well-known and beloved stories of all time? Despite the creation of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland more than 150 years ago, it remains extremely popular among children and adults of all ages.
