Women are so good at obsessing over their weaknesses - an extra ten pounds, a lower grade in math than someone else, etc. But Levine paints the two characters so you can see how one, in coming to accept herself as she is, finds happiness and bestows grace on those around her, and how the other, in hating herself and trying to be other than what she is, ends up destroying the kingdom. One, however, becomes the villain, and the other, the heroine. I pulled this book off of the Young Adult shelves expecting some light fiction, but I really enjoyed some of the deeper meanings behind this story! Yes, it is a retelling of Snow White, but with insights that really apply to most women today.įirst of all, the two most prominent female characters are alike in that they find themselves unacceptable- like two sides of a coin, even their names are like each other. The writing itself was great, the conflict between characters was great, but I think Leah’s poor attitude was indulged in far too much and for far too long for me to actually enjoy it. Especially when you’re painfully aware of how your actions come across to others. You can be withdrawn, have inner turmoil, have issues with other people.and still not be a jerk. Her situation is understandable, but her insistence on embracing jerk as part of her personality is frustrating and disappointing. If she was unaware of her faults, it would have been much easier to get through, but she REPEATEDLY exhibits how self-aware of her attitude she is, and her reluctance to change is just disgusting. I am (apparently) in the minority with this, considering the glowing reviews, but I find her a tremendously unsympathetic character. While I enjoyed the journey back to Creekwood, and the familiar tensions of change that the end of high school brings, I could not stand Leah. As its scientists gird for a final showdown with the Mule, the survivors of the First Foundation begin their desperate search.

These factors inform the structure of this book, and each is examined individually. How, this study crucially asks, does the performative art of theatre contribute to the dynamics of the formation of national identity? Although theories about the nature of nationalism vary, a majority of theorists agree that notions of a shared territory and history, as well as questions of religion, class and gender play crucial roles in the shaping of national identity. At the same time, it goes beyond a New Historicist approach by foregrounding the performative surplus of the theatre event that is so essential for the shaping of collective identity. It situates selected history plays by Shakespeare and Marlowe in the context of non-fictional texts (such as historiographies, chorographies, political treatises, or dictionary entries) and cultural artefacts (such as maps or portraits), and thus highlights the circulation, and mutation, of national thought in late sixteenth-century culture. Applying current political theory on nationhood as well as methods established by recent performance studies, this study sheds new light on the role the public theatre played in the rise of English national identity around 1600. And we’re not debating which Chicago pizza joint has the best deep dish that’s a futile argument. This time, though, we couldn’t resist a Chicago deep dish pizza at one of the best seats in town. We’ve been back to Chicago together a few times since, but we mainly skipped being tourists in his hometown. Aside from family time, we did all the touristy things one does in the Windy City: we ate all the things at Taste of Chicago, we met Sue at the Field Museum, we got splashed by the marine mammals at Shedd Aquarium and we took the elevator up to the 103rd floor of the (then Sears Tower) Willis Tower. Home just happened to be Chicago, and I’d never been there before. It was pretty much immediately love and a month or so later, he brought me home to meet the family. Tim and I met 17 years ago while we were both living in Las Vegas. White’s writing is exceptionally sublime, easy to follow and at the same time explores some rather intricate themes and philosophical ideas. The massive tome of over 850 pages is a beautiful collection of 5 short novels written between 19: Indeed, I fell in love with the narrative from the first few pages. Yet, the wealth of positive reviews I had read prior to purchasing it, became a very exciting prospect. I approached this book with some caution, not knowing exactly what to expect. The Once and Future King recounts the journey of a young Arthur as he becomes king of Britain and is mentored by the wizard Merlyn on the ideas of chivalry, justice and human nature. BookTalk is a new series of blog posts, where I discuss non-Tolkien books in concise and honest reviews.
