![]() ![]() She constantly compares the two groups’ opinion on feminism: the "center", who regulate and live in the American society’s rules, and the „margin”, the people who live physically and politically int he outskirts of these rules. She gives us a possibility to have a peek into the social, political, and economic setting of the 60s’and 70s’ America, from a rarely spoken perspective. The purpose of this book was to show the world feminism’s way and history in the United States, how a black woman experienced it coming from the “margin”, from a lower-class. Feminism is a huge movement that needs everyone to get together, face and accept the current situation’s problem in order to be able to make changes. ![]() ![]() She thinks that first and foremost all women have to see the same truth about sexist oppression, realize that they need to work together, regardless of age, educational level, religion or color. Her view on feminism is that it still needs lots of development int he inside before it can achieve actual successes „outside”. It is an all-in-all 174-page-long writing, which discusses the top ten struggles feminism has to deal with, and at the same time the most important ten goals it needs to achieve - through 12 chapters. The book was published in 1984 by South End Press in the United States. ![]() This paper is a review of a popular feminist scholar and author, bell hooks’ book, titled Feminist Theory: From Margin to Center. ![]() ![]() So Taran goes on a quest to bring her back and on the way meets an assortment of characters: the brave hero Prince Gwydion, the young princess Eilonwy, a lovable but cowardly creature named Gurgi and a bard named Fflewddur Flam.

Taran is an assistant keeper of a very special pig named Hen-Wen she has the power to see the future. ![]() ![]() In the first book “The Book of Three”, we meet our protagonist. The film is based on the first two books in the series and that alone is a step in the wrong direction. Why? Because this movie was so underwhelming in every way, it got me wondering what it was about the original stories that made Disney go, “Yep, this needs to be our next movie”. The Black Cauldron is the movie that inspired me to write this blog. ![]() ![]() ![]() Please avoid all-caps, especially in thread topics, as it is considered SHOUTING.

Where does it take place? Also no idea - could be Europe, could be America. When does it take place? No idea - could be 1921, could be 2021. There could easily be an entire university course on the novel itself, demanding students of the written word unpack and interpret every potential meaning behind the title and story.Īnd what is the story? A middle aged woman invites a painter to stay in her guesthouse with the hope he’ll use her as the subject of one of his masterpieces. ![]() Second Place is as literary as modern literary fiction can get. Can I tell you why I chose to pick this book up then? No. In fact, I have to admit I’d never even heard of Cusk before - even though she’s clearly a literary genius. Like they’re all in Mensa, and I’m over here eating paste in the corner. I feel like Rachel Cusk and everyone who has already read and reviewed her latest novel, Second Place, is smarter than me. ![]() ![]() They become quite content in their new home, but never enough to abandon their ultimate quest to re-establish contact with the rest of the world. ![]() Over the course of the book, they tame the island and reconstruct the civilization they left behind. ![]() This being a Verne story, our heroes are far too industrious to merely survive. Unfortunately, a storm blows them off course and they end up on a deserted island, which they are forced to make their new home. During the American Civil War, five prisoners, and their dog companion escape a Confederate prison in a balloon. Originally published in 1874, the book is essentially a castaway story. ![]() The Mysterious Island (or L'Île Mystérieuse, if you want to use the original French title) is a novel by Jules Verne. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The three daughters grow up, like the rest of the women in this century, with the idea of deep respect towards men. Lear and Cordelia are imprisoned, Cordelia dies executed and Lear dies because of the pain produced by Cordelia’s death. Cordelia tries to save him by bringing the French army to defeat Goneril and Regan. ![]() Goneril and Regan behaved in a bad way with his father what makes him being about to get mad. Cordelia is disinherited and marries the King of France. ![]() I love your majesty, according to my duty as a daughter. To decide it, he asks them a question “Which of you shall we say doth love us most?” (Act I, Scene I), Goneril and Regan lie in order to obtain a greater part, whereas Cordelia tells him “Wretched as I am, I can’t express in words what’s in my heart. As he is getting old, he wants to divide his reign between his three daughters, Goneril, Regan and Cordelia. The main plot talks about King Lear’s situation. This tragedy was written in Shakespeare’s dark period, influenced by the deaths of his parents, his son and Queen Elizabeth. This play was first performed in court in 1605, but it was written not before 1603, shortly after Othello and after Macbeth. ![]() ![]() ![]() For whatever reason, All Fall Down didn’t have the same appeal. But I liked Ally Carter’s Heist Society, and I read her Gallagher Girls series throughout middle school, so I decided to give this one a try. I tend to read heavily in the science fiction and fantasy genres, and it’s a rare event that I pick up a contemporary YA novel (even if this one may be more suitably classified as a thriller). I did end up finishing it, although I felt like I could have put it down midway through.It could be that All Fall Down just isn’t my genre. Yet despite this ambiguity in narration, I somehow never fully engaged with All Fall Down. ![]() She says that she saw her mother murdered, but did she really? There were points in the novel where I began to doubt her assertion that it wasn’t all in her head, that it really happened. And then she sees him – the scarred man.The most interesting thing about All Fall Down is the narrator herself Grace. Now she’s staying at her mother’s childhood home with her grandfather, an American ambassador to a fictional small European country. But when she says so, no one believes her. Three years ago, Grace Blakely saw her mother murdered by a scarred man during a fire. All Fall Down is a contemporary YA novel that starts off Ally Carter’s latest new series. ![]() |
