![]() ![]() ![]() As such, I really wanted to read it, and I'm glad I did. If You Could Be Mine falls into two much-needed categories of YA: GLBT and non-white. Is saving her love worth sacrificing her true self? Sahar will never be able to love the one she wants in the body she wants to be loved in without risking her life. As a man, Sahar could be the one to marry Nasrin. In Iran, homosexuality may be a crime, but to be a man trapped in a woman’s body is seen as nature’s mistake, and sex reassignment is legal and accessible. Then Sahar discovers what seems like the perfect solution. ![]() ![]() But Sahar dreams of loving Nasrin exclusively-and openly. Nasrin tries to persuade Sahar that they can go on as they had before, only now with new comforts provided by the decent, well-to-do doctor Nasrin will marry. So they carry on in secret-until Nasrin’s parents announce that they’ve arranged for her marriage. But Iran is a dangerous place for two girls in love-Sahar and Nasrin could be beaten, imprisoned, even executed if their relationship came to light. They’ve shared stolen kisses and romantic promises. Seventeen-year-old Sahar has been in love with her best friend, Nasrin, since they were six. ![]()

5/13/2023 0 Comments Orwell nationalism![]() ![]() George Orwell was born Eric Blair in India in 1903 into a comfortable ‘lower-upper-middle class’ family. George Orwell is one of the world’s most influential writers, the visionary author of Animal Farm and Nineteen Eighty-four and eyewitness, non-fiction classics Down and Out in Paris in London, The Road to Wigan Pier and Homage to Catalonia. But I could not do the work of writing a book, or even a long magazine article, if it were not also an aesthetic experience.” I write it because there is some lie that I want to expose, some fact to which I want to draw attention, and my initial concern is to get a hearing. When I sit down to write a book, I do not say to myself, ‘I am going to produce a work of art’. ![]() “My starting point is always a feeling of partisanship, a sense of injustice. Home / About / About George Orwell About George Orwell ![]() ![]() ![]() This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?Ĭhristians, with no proclivity for critical thinking. This book was of little to no value to me. I was so excited to read this book to get insights and found myself even more frustrated by hearing how Dobson delivered. I laughed at the examples she gave as many of them I had encountered and handled in a way that eas not helpful.then she offered solutions that made sense and I immediately played out.It was the first time I ever felt a sense of control over my emotions and kids and we had peace. After reading How to Listen So little kids will talk and talk so little kids will listen by Adrienne Farber, she offered SO many helpful points that I was able to put in place immediately and see results from my 2 boys. I don't just want their obedience, but a true heart understanding of why. Authoritarian in nature, but not fully dealing with the heart and emotions of a child. ![]() Dobson offers many anecdotes as to how things shouldn't be, and how they should, but few "hows." Also, stories are very narrow and don't really cover the true issues of a strong willed child. ![]() 5/13/2023 0 Comments The poem birches by robert frost![]() ![]() ![]() But I was going to say when Truth broke in With all her matter-of-fact about the ice-storm, I should prefer to have some boy bend them As he went out and in to fetch the cows- Some boy too far from town to learn baseball Whose only play was what he found himself, Summer or winter, and could play alone. They are dragged to the withered bracken by the load And they seem not to break though once they are bowed So low for long, they never right themselves: You may see their trunks arching in the woods Years afterwards, trailing their leaves on the ground Like girls on hands and knees that throw their hair Before them over their heads to dry in the sun. Soon the sun's warmth makes them shed crystal shells Shattering and avalanching on the snow-crust - Such heaps of broken glass to sweep away You'd think the inner dome of heaven had fallen. They click upon themselves As the breeze rises, and turn many-colored As the stir cracks and crazes their enamel. Often you must have seen them Loaded with ice a sunny winter morning After a rain. But swinging doesn't bend them down to stay As ice-storms do. When I see birches bend to left and right Across the lines of straighter darker trees, I like to think some boy 's been swinging them. ![]() 5/13/2023 0 Comments The Sanatorium by Sarah Pearse![]() ![]() 'An eerie, atmospheric novel that had me completely on the edge of my seat.'

Oh… life…love…happiness…) “Sweden says it aims to completely wean itself off oil within 15 years, without building new nuclear plants.” “BBC's Joe Wilson on how Sweden became a top athletics nation. But as a parent, Sweden seems the perfect place to have children.” ![]() “Sweden has one of the best staffed health services in the world. “Sweden has probably the strongest freedom of information law anywhere in the world.” Here’s some random quotes from the BBC news archive : For most of my life I’ve been bombarded with newspapers and radio telling me how Sweden is so much much very much absolutely completely better than Britain at practically everything. ![]() 5/13/2023 0 Comments Utmost for his highest![]() In the years that followed, his wife selected and published excerpts from the courses and lectures she had stenographed, and sent them to acquaintances. A pulmonary haemorrhage and complications due to the delayed treatment of appendicitis (in order not to occupy a war hospital bed) caused his death on November 15, 1917, and he was buried in Cairo. During World War I, Chambers was the YMCA chaplain for Australian and New Zealand troops in Egypt. Between 19 he joined the Methodist revivalist movement, which emphasised the Christian’s call to a life transformed by the presence of Christ. At the age of 15, he became a Christian, inspired by Charles Spurgeon’s sermons. Oswald Chambers was born in 1874 in Aberdeen, Scotland. It has been officially translated into 39 languages, with over 13 million copies sold. It was first published in 1927 in the United Kingdom and has been in print ever since.

Unable to afford the expense of standing for Parliament (his finances remained a source of insecurity throughout his life), he was only able to embark on a political career through the influence of Sir James Lowther, who secured his election as MP for Appleby in 1781. He matriculated at Pembroke College, Cambridge at the age of 14, and later proceeded to Lincoln’s Inn to study law. William Pitt (the younger) was born on at Hayes Place, Kent, the second son of William Pitt (the elder), later 1st Earl of Chatham and himself Prime Minister. ![]() William Pitt (the younger), Government Art Collection ![]() 5/13/2023 0 Comments Eon dragoneye reborn![]() ![]()
