![]() ![]() This is a must-have for any young adult collection. Mclean's journey through the healing process after her parents' divorce provides bibliotherapy for any teen dealing with family issues, and the secondary plot of tentative steps toward trust and friendship is beautiful.

Brown sets Red Rising on the planet Mars several hundred years in the future. ![]() ![]() ![]() I've never had many problems with third person point of view, however Deborah McClatchey didn't do a good job at it at all. As well as the third person style it was done in it lacked the depth and emotion a book should have, like if it were done in first person. How am I supposed to connect with that? The over-top telling was so annoying. I was just told what had happened on their date. This paragraph is just an example from Shanna and Alex's "date." As a reader, I didn't even get to experience the fucking date with them. ![]() She was actually hungry, even after consuming the fast-food burger they'd grabbed before the movie." They ordered a couple of plates of appetizers to eat during the entertainment. "After the movie, he took her to a comedy club, catching the late show. Shanna was already thinking of marrying Alex only about 6-7% into the book, when they had close to no interaction with each other. It was fast paced and held no descriptive or emotive detailing. There was so much "telling" and no "showing" in this book. ![]() And just to clarify, I added the 1 star to my rating, but in truth I rate it a big fat 0. This book is not even worth 1 star let alone 5. ![]() I don't know what all those other people were reading, but clearly not the same crap I was. I'm so pissed I wasted my money on this shit. I am so angry! I paid almost $4 for this because just about every review I read was positive and gushing. ![]() ![]() A brief synopsis of My Ántonia by Willa Catherįrom the Book of the Month Club edition of My Ántonia: Cather created a book of singular beauty and simplicity, in which the theme of community is united with her talent for creating character development. The first year in the prairie leaves a potent impression on Ántonia and Jim, a theme that’s developed through the narrative. ![]() Set in 19th-century Nebraska, the novel follows the life of Jim Burden, an orphan boy from Virginia, and Ántonia Shimerda, the eldest daughter in an immigrant family from Bohemia (once part of Czechoslovakia). ![]() Published in 1918, it’s the last of her “prairie trilogy” of novels, preceded by O Pioneers!and The Song of the Lark. ![]() My Ántonia is considered one of the masterpieces of fiction by Willa Cather (1873 –1947). ![]() ![]() ![]() Anne BartholomewĪmazon Exclusive: David Levithan and John Green Talk About Names That's what makes Will Grayson, Will Grayson as interesting a pick for adults as it is for teens: the questions don't get simpler, but looking at them through the eyes of a 16-year-old brings a welcome sense of honesty and humor to this thing called life. The relevance for teens here is clear-high school is the only time in your life when you have the undivided opportunity to obsess over your every move, sentence, and outfit change-but the part about understanding who you are doesn't stop when you graduate. Two of those kids happen to have the same name, and not much in common outside of that, but their serendipitous friendship sets the stage for a much larger, braver, and more candid story than the simplicity of the plot might suggest. ![]() At heart, Will Grayson, Will Grayson is about a couple of kids figuring out how to be themselves. Amazon Best Books of the Month, April 2010: What's in a name? A pretty fantastic book idea, for starters. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Shostakovich uses a montage of different styles, including folk music, popular song and atonality. ![]() Bless us, O Lord, her and me! Her and me! Bless us, O Lord, her and me! Her and me! I'll give up a king's crown, if my beloved is happy. The song is Shostakovich's setting of the words of part 2, book 5, chapter 2 of Karamazov, where the lackey, Smerdiakov, sings to his neighbour Mariia Kondratevna.Īn invisible force ties to my beloved. The latter occurs in act 2, scene 6, where Kovalyov returns home to find Ivan singing. Gogol's original work was expanded by borrowing from some of his other works, including " The Overcoat", Marriage, " Diary of a Madman", and Dead Souls as well as The Brothers Karamazov (1881) by Dostoyevsky. The plot concerns a Saint Petersburg official whose nose leaves his face and develops a life of its own. Shostakovich stated it was a satire on the times of Alexander I. ![]() The libretto is by Shostakovich, Yevgeny Zamyatin, Georgy Ionin, and Alexander Preis. 15, (Russian: Нос, romanized: Nos ), is Dmitri Shostakovich's first opera, a satirical work completed in 1928 based on Nikolai Gogol's 1836 story of the same name. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Cover designed by Najla Qambers of Najla Qambers Designs Formatting by Erik Gevers No part of this book may be reproduced, stored in a retrieval system, or transmitted in any form, or by any means, electronic, mechanical, photocopying, recording or otherwise, without prior permission of the author.

The mention of "reproductive processes" and Playboy has to do with the main character (a 7th grade boy) recalling having learned about that in school and then he and his friend searching for Playboys and finding nothing. It is funny and sad and just such a great book for kids in grades 5-8. The result: Letters From Wolfie is a beautiful story about a boy who donates his dog to the US army during the conflict in Vietnam. My director asked me if I'd read the book and since I hadn't, I told her I would right away. Next thing we knew there was a parent complaint because the book mentioned the term "reproductive processes" and Playboy. One of my students checked it out and brought it home. Why I read it: This book is on our historical fiction "Recommended Reading" list for the sixth grade. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() All other NFL-related trademarks are trademarks of the National Football League.
