Chiara is the daughter of the broke Count Ridolfi, owner of a decrepit palazzo and a family history shrouded in sinister myths. Innocence is set in Florence in the 1950s. Be warned, though, Innocence, like her other books, is not action packed, but rather a funny, contemplative story where a lot more goes on than meets the eye. If you enjoy a well-written book, I suspect you will like her novels too. No wonder Fitzgerald has become a writer’s writer, with hoards of author fans. It’s not, of course, and that’s the genius of it. There’s something seductive about Fitzgerald’s writing, it’s so gentle and light that it almost seems effortless. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Many of them are created so that your students will be exposed to great art. These are not your ordinary, social media memes. The fun just never stops! And it hasn’t stopped yet. In addition to all this goodness there are some quotes from Thoreau and a list of some of his other writings. So please consider buying more than one copy of this book to help! Also included are open-ended, Socratic discussion questions to help students think more in depth about the essay. Time machines are not cheap and the maintenance schedule is expensive. Draeger travels back in time to meet Thoreau with a special guest appearance by Ghandi. In addition to the unabridged text of Thoreau’s essay, this volume for students in grades 7-12 includes a “Pre-Flight,” a short introduction before reading the essay, a “Wrap-Up”, a more in depth explanation and discussion of the essay, to be read after, along with “Beware of New Clothes”, where Mr. ![]() ![]() ![]() His final words at the end of the book are "We would have been safe" (17.162). He creates a fable, like the Sixth Borough, in which his Dad is still alive. Oskar reverses the photos so that when you flip them, the man falls up. The books final pages are a flip book (honestly, you can flip them) of photos of a man falling to his death from the World Trade Center, a man that Oskar thinks might even be his father. ![]() While this journey may have changed William's life (he'd been madly searching for the key, too) Oskar's left with no answers.īecause of this disappointment, Oskar still has to invent closure, creating a fantasy world in which he and his father are safe. It has nothing to do with him, and he doesn't care. Oskar doesn't even go with William to open the box. ![]() Oskar may have wanted to find something like that (we're not sure what he expected to find) but he ends up finding out that the key goes to a safe-deposit box belonging to William Black's dead father. At the end of the book, Oskar finally finds the lock the key goes to, his Dad's secret diary is revealed, and Oskar's life changes forever. ![]() ![]() ![]() I highly recommend this book to anyone who reads. He presents his reflections in a witty - even funny - way that readers will be charmed and convinced rather than bored. ![]() ![]() The author uses his experiences in school as grounds and examples for the lessons he learned in life. But most significant about this book is that it offers subtle reflections that could leave a large impact on the readers. What's more, this work is filled with amazing wit, with hints of poignant sentiments. He writes in 'TagLish' (a combination of Tagalog and English), and in a conversational way, making this piece easy to read for the average Pinoy. They are basically the author's own school experiences from first grade mishaps to 'college-hopping', but we can undoubtedly relate with them.īob Ong's story-telling is really good, as far as this book shows. In this book by Bob Ong, those memories are cleverly captured with " mga kwentong chalk" ('chalk stories'). We may even reflect on what we learned in the classroom and in life. We may laugh, cry, or cringe when we look back at those memories now. Most of us have memories of our past school days. ![]() ![]() ![]() House of Secrets (1956) #92, Cover to Swamp Thing (1972) #1 (Bernie Wrightson) So when this Bronze Age Omnibus was released last fall, I was excited to have the opportunity to read Swamp Thing's earliest adventures and to see what had come prior to Moore's groundbreaking time on the title. ![]() All of which have helped to my developing a healthy appreciation for the character. That run quickly became one of my personal favorites and since that time, I have tried to fill in the gaps of Swamp Thing's history by reading the works of Grant Morrison, Mark Millar, Brian K. My enjoyment of Snyder's collaboration with Yanick Paquette caused me to seek out more Swamp Thing, and as one might guess, Alan Moore's classic run was what was unanimously recommended to me. It wasn't until much later that I really got into the character thanks to Scott Snyder's New 52 run. Swamp Thing is a character that I have had some awareness of since I was a little kid, thanks primarily to the two 1980's film adaptations.

He even takes the family with him on weekend trips to look for evidence of aliens. Like Agent Mulder of The X-Files, microchip engineer and sheriff’s deputy Chuck Zukowski is obsessed with tracking down UFO reports in Colorado. ![]() Here is the “fascinating” ( Publishers Weekly) true story of a computer programmer who tracks paranormal events in remote areas of the western United States and is drawn deeper and deeper into a mysterious conspiracy. ![]() A real-life mix of The X-Files and Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Mezrich “writes vividly and grippingly…A terrific story… will make a heck of a movie” ( The Washington Post). ![]() ![]() ![]() I first encountered this book as an undergraduate, in a literature of nature class. Robert Finch once wrote of him, "His are burnished, polished sentences, richly metaphoric and musical, that beg to be read aloud."īeautifully written, beautifully narrated Thoreau before him, and Rachel Carson after him, Beston was a writer of stunning beauty, importance, and vision. The landscape was his major character, and his writing provides a snapshot of the Cape, a place physically changed yet still as soulful 80 years later. ![]() In The Outermost House, originally published in 1928, he poetically chronicled the four seasons at the beach: the ebb and flow of the tides, the migration of birds, storms, stars, and solitude. He had not intended to stay longer, but, as he later wrote, "I lingered on, and as the year lengthened into autumn, the beauty and mystery of this earth and outer sea so possessed and held me that I could not go."īeston stayed for a year, meditating on humanity and the natural world. In 1926, Henry Beston spent two weeks in a two-room cottage on the sand dunes of Cape Cod. The Outermost House is a classic of American nature literature. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() This is compelling, extremely well written, enlightening, emotionally gutting, educational (and I hesitate to use that word - it is not pedantic nor lecturing nor hectoring, rather, educational in that it reveals within the story facts and truths about history of which I - and I suspect most others - have never heard before, never known), and just a damn good read. But there are very few wasted words or digressive sections which you read saying, "Well what's the point of this?" In fact, there were parts of the story, characters in the telling, I would gladly have spent more time reading about. DUBOIS, I can be fairly certain I am not going to feel the same way.
