Cremains of the Day by Misty Simon5/31/2023 Now Tallie needs to dig deep to clean up this mess-before she finds herself in a grave situation. Granted the deliveryman is handsome, but seriously, that's enough to cast a pall over anyone's day. This unpleasant shock seems to be part of a web of weird experiences: Tallie's friend Gina's shop is broken into, her ex is stun-gunned where it hurts the most, and now she's receiving flowers from the dead woman. She discovers one of her employers lying in a closet with a knife sticking out of her chest. As humbling as it is to tidy the mansions of the snobby socialites she used to call friends, at least she doesn't have to be around dead bodies. But when her marriage falls apart and Tallie is left with next to nothing, she turns to cleaning houses to make ends meet. įor Tallulah Graver, marrying wealthy Waldo Phillips seemed like the best way out of the family business, the Graver Funeral Home. Description There's no reverse on the hearse.

This Is Just to Say by Joyce Sidman5/31/2023 A few follow very closely to the format of the original poem while many simply take the idea of apology and run with it. It is a really interesting collection of poems. Some "students" also wrote back on behalf of non-writing recipients, like the class pet or a school statue. In the second section, they shared those poems with the intended recipient and asked them to write a poem back in response. In the first section, an imaginary class of students shares their own apology poems (some false, some not) inspired by William Carlos Williams. This is Just to Say: poems of apology and forgiveness (2007) by Joyce Sidman and illustrated by Pamela Zagarenski. (H/T Sally Murphy, Laura Salas, Margaret Simon, Reading to the Core, and others.) Also inspired by William Carlos Williams' famous This is Just to Say poem, this collection of poems has two sections.

The citadel of forgotten myths5/31/2023 Robert Uphaus, for example, delineates the political representation of reading in Austen’s novels, including Northanger Abbey, illustrating Austen’s contribution to the cultural debate of women’s literacy. The subsequent shift in the critical debate surrounding Northanger Abbey towards feminist issues lays the foundation for a careful look at the dilemmas of female education, 2 which was dominated by male ideology and disallowed both “true” feminine reading and the obtainment of agency. The focus by earlier critics on inconsistencies of character and form has been challenged, however, by more recent arguments that downplay such inconsistencies in favor of the political maturity of Austen’s early work. John Locke, Of the Conduct of the Understanding, 1706Ĭompleted in 1799, 1Jane Austen’s earliest novel Northanger Abbey has been criticized by scholars such as Anne Ehrenpreis and Alan McKillop for the juvenile nature of its composition and its lack of overall coherence. Those who have got this Faculty, one may say, have got the true Key of Books, and the clue to lead them through the mizmaze of variety of Opinions and Authors to Truth and Certainty. Such an Examen as is requisite to discover that, every Reader’s mind is not forward to make. . . For all that is to be found in Books, is not all built on true Foundations, nor always rightly deduc’d from the Principles it is pretended to be built on. |
