McGregor proudly presents the sack to his wife, but receives a sharp scolding when she discovers its actual content. While McGregor is distracted, the six are freed by Thomasina Tittlemouse, a woodmouse, and the sack is filled with rotten vegetables by Benjamin and Flopsy. The story concerns how the Flopsy Bunnies, while raiding a rubbish heap of rotting vegetables, fall asleep and are captured by Mr. In The Flopsy Bunnies, Benjamin Bunny and his cousin Flopsy are the parents of six young rabbits called simply The Flopsy Bunnies. A semi-formal garden of archways and flowerbeds in Wales at the home of her uncle and aunt became the background for the illustrations. She realized however that children most enjoyed her rabbit stories and pictures, and so reached back to characters and plot elements from The Tale of Peter Rabbit (1902) and The Tale of Benjamin Bunny (1904) to create The Flopsy Bunnies. After two full-length tales about rabbits, Potter had grown weary of the subject and was reluctant to write another. The Tale of The Flopsy Bunnies is a children's book written and illustrated by Beatrix Potter, and first published by Frederick Warne & Co.

In Deacon King Kong, McBride brings to vivid life the people affected by the shooting: the victim, the African-American and Latinx residents who witnessed it, the white neighbors, the local cops assigned to investigate, the members of the Five Ends Baptist Church where Sportcoat was deacon, the neighborhood's Italian mobsters, and Sportcoat himself.Īs the story deepens, it becomes clear that the lives of the characters-caught in the tumultuous swirl of 1960s New York-overlap in unexpected ways. The reasons for this desperate burst of violence and the consequences that spring from it lie at the heart of Deacon King Kong, James McBride's funny, moving novel and his first since his National Book Award-winning The Good Lord Bird. ![]() 38 from his pocket, and in front of everybody shoots the project's drug dealer at point-blank range.

The outside world keeps telling you your life is good. A year after Kim Ji-young, Born 1982 was published, the #MeToo movement gripped the world and suddenly, the book's innate criticism of the stringently patriarchal culture of South Korea ignited.Īs Cho summed up in an interview with the Financial Times in January, women have long had to suffer without complaint in the country: ' You are happy, as a mother, because you raise your pretty daughter who looks just like you. Why the fuss? Well, in the novel Cho tells the simple but deeply resonate story of a working woman who enters her thirties, gets married, gives up her job and has a baby – before having a nervous breakdown. ![]() The then-President of South Korea was sent a copy and, once released as a film, Kim Ji-young, Born 1982 sparked national protest, marriage breakdowns and even plans for a mercifully never-made response from men's rights activists called Kim Ji-hoon Born 1990. ![]() Kim Ji-young, Born 1982was published in 2016 by then-little known South Korean author Cho Nam-joo, and became a literary sensation. And we don't just mean it dominated middle-class dinner party conversations for a few months, either. ![]() ![]() ![]() Michael Alan Foster was educated at Spalding High School. The principal advantage of a course centered on Tolkien, as opposed to, say, Shakespeare, is that many students have read all the author's major works. The four essays required for four approaches to the study of literature: analysis of a small section, examination of a possible literary source, evaluation of a critical study, and commentary on the evolution of a single character. But twenty others did, and the Tolkien course has continued at Illinois Central College since then, with the exception of four years at the end of the last century when it was cast into darkness and doom by a Balrog dean. Of course, only one of the fifteen who signed up showed up. ![]() I took a petition signed by fifteen students requesting such a course to my department chairman, and he agreed to schedule Lit. ![]() 5/12/2023 0 Comments Anne lamott plan b![]() On re-reading this, I am finding much more to like. It is further evidence that, as The New Yorker has written, "Anne Lamott is a cause for celebration." It shares with us Lamott's ability to comfort and to make us laugh despite the grim realities.Īnne Lamott is one of our most beloved writers, and Plan B is a book more necessary now than ever. ![]() And there are personal demands on her faith as well: getting older her mother's Alzheimer's her son's adolescence and the passing of friends and time.įortunately for those of us who are anxious about the state of the world, whose parents are also aging and dying, whose children are growing harder to recognize as they become teenagers, Plan B offers hope that we’re not alone in the midst of despair. Environmental devastation looms even closer.

As I discovered in his novel, Widow of the South, Hicks does a marvelous job of drawing you into the setting and the time period. General Hood journeyed to New Orleans to try to begin his post-military life and figure out how to earn a living. Robert Hick's story begins after the war has ended. ![]() Hood became controversial because some felt that his aggressiveness in battle led to his making very reckless decisions which ended up killing thousands of Confederate soldiers. He suffered a crippling injury to his left arm at the battle of Gettysburg and lost his right leg at the Battle of Chicamauga. Lee to the rank of major general after the Battle of Antietam. ![]() This book, written by Robert Hicks, is a fictional account of one of the Confederacy's most controversial generals. ![]() 5/12/2023 0 Comments The darkest surrender![]() ![]() The War Cabinet crisis in May 1940 occurred over just a few days, yet ultimately resulted in some of Churchill’s more favourable descriptors in the above list. The list goes on and on, but each label, when taken alone, fails to do Churchill justice when taken together, they offer a challenge on a par with tossing 20 jigsaw puzzles together and expecting a single unified picture. This is for the simple reason that seldom in history has a figure done so much, both good and bad, and made such a difference in the course of a long and packed lifetime, let alone the 65 years before this story begins in the House of Commons on those tense May days in 1940. ![]() Books on him dwarf in number those about George Washington, Julius Caesar or Napoleon, and render insipid the collective attempts to describe his great enemy Adolf Hitler. We have seen more ink expended on Winston Leonard Spencer-Churchill than on any other figure in history. ![]() 5/12/2023 0 Comments The foxhole court audiobook![]() ![]() His lies will hold up only so long under this kind of scrutiny and the truth will get him killed.īut Neil’s not the only one with secrets on the team. The team is high profile and he doesn’t need sports crews broadcasting pictures of his face around the nation. Signing a contract with the PSU Foxes is the last thing a guy like Neil should do. He’s short, he’s fast, he’s got a ton of potential-and he’s the runaway son of the murderous crime lord known as The Butcher.

In fact, as per various reports, he often says, “I read books” whenever asked about how he learned to build rockets.Īccording to Esquire, he not only reads but devours them as shared by Jim Cantrell, entrepreneur and an aerospace consultant who worked with Musk at SpaceX. Some of the prominent ones are by Douglas Adams and Isaac Asimov. ![]() ![]() And during many interviews, he has shared his favourites and recommended books that have inspired him.
