This book is definitely one of my favorite children's book of all time. Then the book ends, with Ting recapping the whole book in her imaginative way. The fifth story is another funny story that includes the sisters going to the library. Ling can't use chopsticks, so the two sisters try to figure out a way for Ling to eat her dumplings. Then Ting makes a funny pun with their names and the last four letters of the dumplings. ![]() more d tight, while Ting puts in a lot of meat. ![]() Story three is about the two sisters making dumplings. ![]() However, the two little silly sisters mess up. The second story is about Ling showing Ting a magic trick. This is how the author distinguish the two characters throughout the story.

Then one day, they go to get a haircut, and even their barber says they look exactly alike.

6/28/2023 0 Comments The communist manifesto original![]() All three documents were attempts to articulate the political platform of the newly-forming Communist League, a political party which was being created through the merger of two ancestors: the League of the Just, and the Communist Correspondence Committee, the latter led by Marx and Engels. On Engels' recommendation, the catechism format was ultimately rejected in favor of a historical prose narrative, which was used by Karl Marx to compose the Manifesto. Like Principles, the earlier Confession of Faith also used the catechism convention, but with only 22 question-answer pairs. ![]() Principles of Communism was composed during October–November 1847, and was preceded by the Draft of a Communist Confession of Faith, a very similar but distinct text which Engels had previously written in June 1847. Principles of Communism served as the draft version for the Communist Manifesto. In the text, Engels presents core ideas of Marxism such as historical materialism, class struggle, and proletarian revolution. It is structured as a catechism, containing 25 questions about communism for which answers are provided. ![]() Principles of Communism (German: Grundsätze des Kommunismus) is a brief 1847 work written by Friedrich Engels, the co-founder of Marxism. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Lewis: he wrote a whole scholarly work, The Allegory of Love, about medieval and Renaissance allegory. Perhaps this is a distinction without a difference to many readers, but it’s worth bearing in mind that if anyone should know what allegory is, it’s C. We might think of this as something like the distinction between simile and metaphor: simile is like allegory, because one thing is like something else, whereas in metaphor, one thing is the other thing.Īslan is not like Jesus (allegory): he is Jesus’ equivalent in Narnia. But he doesn’t: he is Jesus, if Narnia existed and a deity decided to walk among the people of that world. ![]() In short, Lewis rejects the idea that his Narnia books are allegory because, for them to qualify as allegorical, Aslan would have to ‘represent’ Jesus. Lewis didn’t regard them as allegory: ‘In reality,’ he wrote, Aslan ‘is an invention giving an imaginary answer to the question, “What might Christ become like if there really were a world like Narnia, and He chose to be incarnate and die and rise again in that world as He actually has done in ours?” This is not allegory at all.’ Lewis book(s) that are Christian allegory, right?’ But C. Say ‘ Chronicles of Narnia’ or ‘ The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe’ and many people will say, ‘Oh, the C. ![]() 6/28/2023 0 Comments Empress of a thousand skies series![]() Their paths collide with one brutal act of violence: Rhee is attacked, barely escaping with her life. ![]() Despite his popularity, Aly struggles with anti-Wraetan prejudices and the pressure of being perfect in the public eye.

Of all the gin joints in all the towns in all the world…anyway, some good parts, some bad, I’m still on the fence mostly on this book.ĮMPRESS OF A THOUSAND SKIES by Rhoda Belleza Also, way too many random coincidences used to move the plot. Not surprising for a space opera per se, but I thought a few things could have been resolved already. ![]() For something that’s set up for a duology, there is much to tie up plot-wise. ![]() 6/28/2023 0 Comments The unwanteds island of graves![]() ![]() The Artimeans need his focus now more than ever as they face the terrifying power of a new enemy who has taken control of Quill-the notoriously evil Gondoleery Rattrapp. ![]() In Artimé, Alex chooses his people over his brother and abandons his search for Aaron, closing the door on that relationship forever.

When Eleanor West decided to open her school, her sanctuary, her "Home for Wayward Children," she knew from the beginning that there would be children she couldn't save when Cora decides she needs a different direction, a different fate, a different prophecy, Miss West reluctantly agrees to transfer her to the other school, where things are run very differently by Whitethorn, the Headmaster. The first step is always admitting you need help, and you’ve already taken that step by. I definitely seem to like the stories set in 'our' world better where all of the children deal from the fallout of being separated from their worlds and make their ways back.

"We lived where he had left us a relic of his provincial youth a sprawling cumbersome, countrified brood too incongruous to carry with him and I, for one, scarcely missed him. ![]() As his father was absent, the large family - five children from his father's first marriage and three from his second one - was brought up by his capable mother. One of eight children, Laurie Lee was born in 1914, in Slad, Gloucestershire, then a remote corner of England. Laurie Lee's matchless memories of his childhood, told in glittering prose and with a wonderfully wicked sense of comedy, have made Cider with Rosie one of the most famous of all autobiographies. Growing up amongst the fields and woods and characters of the place, Laurie Lee depicts a world that is both immediate and real and belongs to a now-distant past. Cider with Rosie is a wonderfully vivid memoir of childhood in a remote Cotswold village, a village before electricity and cars, a timeless place on the verge of change. ![]() 6/27/2023 0 Comments A Rumor of War by Philip Caputo![]() Upon its publication in 1977, it shattered America’s indifference to the fate of the men sent to fight in the jungles of Vietnam.

In The Hero with a Thousand Faces, Campbell formulated the dual schemas of the Hero’s Journey, a universal motif of adventure and transformation that runs through all of humanity’s mythic traditions, and of the Cosmogonic Cycle, the stories of world-creation and -dissolution that have marked cultures around the world and across the centuries. ![]() This seminal work has influenced millions of readers since it was originally published in 1949, bringing the insights of modern psychology together with Campbell’s revolutionary understanding of comparative mythology.
