“The Berenstain Bears: No Girls Allowed” is one of my favorite books of the Berenstain Bears Series. Friendship is an important thing that should not be restricted. Overall, the big idea of this story is to include everyone even if they are different from you. Many students may feel that being left out is relatable to them, which helps make the characters more relatable because of their experiences. For example, the author writes, "News of the No Girls Allowed club traveled fast, and there were quite a few other sisters who didn't like the idea of being left out" (p. The characters' feelings and emotions throughout this book are relatable to the audience, making the characters more believable. While it the main characters are bears, it is relatable in the sense that students may have felt similar struggles with their peers and have felt left out. I also like this book because the characters were well-developed and relatable to the target audience. The illustrations help to enhance the story because it helps the audience follow along with the plot and provides them with an image to help them visualize the story taking place. The character's emotions are clearly portrayed through their facial expressions, which helps the audience understand the emotions that each character is feeling as the story goes on. First, the illustrations enhance the story and are appropriate to the mood of the story.

Season 1 is the WINNER of the BAFTA Children's Award for Best Animated Series 2019! Season 2 is out now! In theory, I found the focus on an art forgery to be very unique. I’m a little conflicted on the mystery in this installment. Additionally, there is a sort of “low key” love triangle (which is strange as one leg of the love triangle isn’t currently active but history between the two causes even more strain on the story.) I feel I would have enjoyed this book much more if one of the main conflicts of the story was not the main relationship problems which I’ve seen a thousand times in young adult sequels. The Last of August falls into the unfortunate trope of angsty romance where both characters don’t properly verbalize their feelings and communicate leading to arguments and unnecessary tension. I adored their relationship in book one as it teetered the line between powerful friendship and intimate romance so well, but book two was almost infuriating. I was very frustrated by the dynamic between Jamie and Charlotte in the second installment. The story ranges from England to Berlin and as Berlin is rarely a location featured in young adult novels, it was a breath of fresh air! Truthfully, I don’t have many significant critiques, I just didn’t enjoy it as much!ĬW: talk of substance abuse and rape, ptsd Unfortunately, I did not love the sequel to A Study In Charlotte as much as book one. “ The Host” is Stephenie’s first novel for adults.

Sarah Wilson argues that this sense of despair and disconnection is ironically what unites us-that deep down, we are all feeling that same itch for a new way of living. We have retreated, morally and psychologically we are experiencing a crisis of disconnection-from one another, from our true values, from joy, and from life as we feel we are meant to be living it. Many of us are living with the sense that things are not right with the world, as global problems like the pandemic, the climate crisis, political polarization, and social injustice mount, leaving us in a state of spiritual PTSD. Will you sleep through the revolution? Or do you want to wake up and reclaim your one, wild and precious life? From New York Times bestselling author Sarah Wilson comes a spiritual guidebook for surviving and thriving during challenging times. She has taken her pain and grief about our sick and troubled world and alchemized it into action, advocacy, adventure, poetry, and true love.” - ELIZABETH GILBERT “Sarah Wilson is a force of nature – quite literally. This stunning debut collection - in all its intersectional glory - mines for meaning in places many of us miss, and reveals precisely how the political, the social, and the personal are almost always one and the same. They are also, simply, a pleasure to read. They are blisteringly smart and beautifully written. These essays enlighten and complicate and push conversations further. An intrepid intellectual force hailed by the likes of Trevor Noah, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, and Oprah, Tressie McMillan Cottom is "among America's most bracing thinkers on race, gender, and capitalism of our time" (Rebecca Traister). Tressie McMillan Cottom is among America’s most bracing thinkers on race, gender, and capitalism of our time and she is at her very best here. Thick speaks fearlessly to a range of topics and is far more genre-bending than a typical compendium of personal essays. It also fills an important void on those very shelves: a modern black American feminist voice waxing poetic on self and society, serving up a healthy portion of clever prose and southern aphorisms as she covers everything from Saturday Night Live, LinkedIn, and BBQ Becky to sexual violence, infant mortality, and Trump rallies. Ideas and identity fuse effortlessly in this vibrant collection that on bookshelves is just as at home alongside Rebecca Solnit and bell hooks as it is beside Jeff Chang and Janet Mock. Summary: In these eight piercing explorations on beauty, media, money, and more, Tressie McMillan Cottom - award-winning professor and acclaimed author of Lower Ed - embraces her venerated role as a purveyor of wit, wisdom, and Black Twitter snark about all that is right and much that is wrong with this thing we call society. In the Old Testament, the Hebrew ahav is the broad, multi-purpose word for love. This is not so different from some other languages, including biblical Hebrew. We love God, our spouse, our kids, our friends, our dog, and our favourite food or movie or season of the year. The English word “love” covers a multitude of relationships. They offer a welcome attempt to bring balance and a divine perspective back to the subject of love. In our own cultural moment, when love has come to mean sexuality before all else, Lewis’ meditations have fresh relevance. In it, he sought to present a balanced portrait of the different aspects of love – all of them created by God – using various Greek words that either appear in the Bible or else embody a biblical facet of love.Īcross every era, love remains one of humanity’s chief preoccupations, enjoyed and celebrated but also abused and misunderstood. Lewis wrote one of his last books, The Four Loves. The two phrases are signposts along a cultural trajectory from idolizing romantic love to worshipping sexuality as the core of human identity, its every expression beyond critique.Ī few years before the Beatles recorded their classic song, C.S. And half a century later, “love is love” has become the rallying cry of celebrities and social media influencers alike. “All you need is love,” sang the Beatles back in the 1960s. |
