A clever con artist, a legendary vigilante, and a dashing crime lord must fight to free their city from the clutches of a dark and ancient magic in the second novel of M. As the Characters seek their author and struggle for control (authorship) of the narrative they are piecing together with the Actors and Manager, the audience or reader learns that authorship is not about an otherworldly, ingenious process of creating something out of nothing. This process showed him that his creations were not entirely his own: rather, his characters became independent beings that lived in his imagination and gradually forced him to write out their “drama.” The drama he creates is, in fact, the story of this whole process, played out on stage. But they took on a life of their own and began to haunt him while he worked on other projects. In his Preface to the 1925 version of Six Characters in Search of an Author, Luigi Pirandello revealed that the six Characters at the heart of the play were his own creations, and that he was the author who abandoned them more than a decade earlier after failing to place them in an adequate story. 7/8/2023 0 Comments Food rules an eater's manualThis statement carries a lot of meaning for the readers, especially those that live in urban cities. With this, the author draws attention to the types of foods that individuals should eat and the types that they should not. Food rule number 22 states, “It’s not food if it arrived through the window of your car” (Pollan 1-112). This builds on his argument regarding processed food whereby the modern day ‘foods’ have undergone too much processing that they can no longer be recognized as being food. He begins by warning his readers not to eat food that their ancestors would not recognize as food. Accordingly, this statement has a strong link to Michael’s belief that people in the modern world are more accustomed to eating processed foods, instead of fresh food. By this, he means that people should engage in the practice of eating real food as opposed to food that has been processed (Bain 1). The first statement that the author introduces to his readers is the concept of eating food. Specifically, the paper provides an analysis of the three statements, “Eat Food”, “Mostly Plants”, and “Not Too Much”. This paper provides an in-depth analysis of the book, Food Rules: An Eater’s Manual by Michael Pollan. A short section on pay gaps among population groups designated as visible minorities is also included. The gender wage gap is the difference in average hourly earnings between men and women expressed as a proportion of men’s average hourly earnings. The following analysis focuses on the gender gap in the self-reported gross hourly wages of employees in the core working ages of 25 to 54, as captured by the Labour Force Survey (LFS). As the “raw” or “unadjusted” wage gap does not account for these differences in observable characteristics, it is but a first step for understanding wage differences between sub-populations. Average hourly wages may differ between some groups for a variety of reasons, including the level of educational attainment, work experience, industry of job, occupation or the share of part-time employment. The difference in gross hourly earnings between sub-population groups can be a partial indicator of the degree of equal opportunity or discrimination in the labour market. The distribution of male and female employees across industries plays a key role in explaining this gap, particularly the higher proportion of men working in highly paid industries such as construction. Although the gender gap in hourly wages declined from 1998 to 2021 among employees in Canada, male employees continued to have higher hourly earnings than female employees in 2021.

She especially didn’t write it for young girls who make up the bulk of Black Beauty’s readership. Sewell didn’t write Black Beauty for children. Black Beauty is ostensibly a book written by a horse about us. The actual title of Sewell’s book is Black Beauty: His grooms and companions: the autobiography of a horse, translated from the original equine by Anna Sewell. In case you’ve seen only film or television versions, Black Beauty, in spite of its grandmotherly prose, four-page chapters, and undisciplined use of exclamation points, is nothing less than a Banksy mural: art as poisoned-tipped spear. Since its publication in 1877, Black Beauty has sold approximately 50 million copies, placing it on every all-time best-seller list, located somewhere between various Harry Potters and Charlotte’s Web. Here it is, resurrected:Īnna Sewell wrote only one book in her lifetime: Black Beauty. He decided the structure didn’t work and cut the material. In fact, in the first draft of his story, Jeff included a section about that book, which was written by Anna Sewell. As Jeff and I talked about the story and he worked his way through the writing, he kept bringing up parallels between his story and Black Beauty. For the August issue of D Magazine, Jeff Bowden wrote a story about a girl who loved and lost a horse and how the two were reunited. 7/8/2023 0 Comments Scritch scratch lindsay currieLindsay takes readers on their own ghost tour of Chicago, introducing you to some of the places around the city that have seen great tragedies. It is one of the best ghost stories for kids that I’ve read. Scritch Scratch is a super creepy, spine-tingly story that keeps you turning the pages. Claire is being haunted and she needs to find out who her ghost is before he drives her crazy. Claire hears voices whispering to her and scary things start happening at home and at school. Claire thinks that she was imagining things and that maybe it was just her dad’s ghost stories playing on her mind. At the end of the tour she sees a dripping wet boy with a sad face sitting in the back of the bus, but nobody else seems to notice him. When she gets asked to help her dad with one of his tours she begrudgingly goes along. Her dad runs a ghost-tour business, showing tourists around the most haunted parts of Chicago on his bus. She is a scientist who knows there is no evidence that ghosts exist. Lindsay Currie has set her new story, Scritch Scratch, in modern day Chicago but she links in historical events, making for a super creepy ghost story that will haunt you long after you reach the end.Ĭlaire has absolutely no interest in the paranormal. I feel like it adds some authenticity to the scares because the events took place or the people existed. The thing that can notch up the scare factor is if the story ties in real life events. Both myself and the kids at my school love a genuinely scary read, one that will send shivers down your spine. Her mother trained as a medical secretary but gave this up to look after her four daughters.

Still, I admire Amory because he is an animal activist, but save me from this at Christmas. I just want a cute story about an animal. I am actually dramatizing this, but when I read a Christmas story, I don’t want to read about how lab cats are treated or how dolphins are slaughtered. Read this book years ago and loved it, but this year, well, all I can say is this: It is not a Christmas story instead it is a horror story.
