My eyes were too big for my face and a shocking shade of blue to boot. My face was free of makeup, making me look every bit as young and small as I felt. My long, brown hair was loose and flowing down the middle of my back, pushed back from my face with a plain red hairband. I was thin on the extreme, under developed with fried eggs for breasts, clearly untouched by the puberty boom that had hit every other girl my age. I was ridiculously small for my age in every way. My only consolation was the shoes that Mam bought me brought me up to the five feet two mark. Grey skirt that stopped at the knee, revealing two scrawny, underdeveloped legs, and finishing with tan tights, navy socks, and two-inch, black court shoes. Navy jumper with the Tommen College crest on the breast with a white shirt and red tie. Smoothing down my new school uniform, I stared at my reflection in the bathroom mirror and hardly recognized myself. ![]() ![]() ![]() My pulse was beating at a concerning rate my anxiety the culprit for my erratic heartbeat, not to mention the cause of my upchuck reflex abandoning me. ![]() A whole new year, and the first day back to school after Christmas break.Īnd I was nervous – so nervous, in fact, that I had thrown up no less than three times this morning. ![]() 7/4/2023 0 Comments 2666 bolano![]() Bolano's writings reflects both his complex cosmopolitanism and his fiery political ideals. The author journeyed across Europe as a laborer, kicked an addiction to heroin and was imprisoned - briefly - during the military dictatorship of Gen. Born in Chile, but reared in Mexico, Bolano came of age at a time when inspirational political movements were taking place across Latin America. But America's paucity of publishers (and readers) willing to publish (and read) works in translation slowed down our appreciation of Bolano's sterling reputation in Latin America and across the world.Ģ666 was published in 2004, a year after Bolano died at the age of 50 of a rare liver disease. The United States took a while to clue into a writer who's been internationally hailed as one of the very best of our era, if not the second coming of Jorge Luis Borges. Roberto Bolano's 2666 is at once a novel and an international literary event. ![]() Each week, we present leading authors of fiction and nonfiction as they read from and discuss their work. Author Interviews Poets and Gangsters: Discovering Roberto Bolanoīook Tour is a Web feature and podcast. ![]() ![]() ![]() Miss Nelson is a beautiful person with a similar resemblance to Glinda the Good Witch and Miss Swamp is the total opposite looking like a wicked witch. The kids are misbehaving in Miss Nelson's class and they disrespect her so one day she goes missing and her replacement is Miss Viola Swamp. Having all these drama fits into this book and takes me back to memory lane. I remember in my mind going what is this chaos and how do these kids behave with their parents because I guarantee you that my mother would have smacked me if I did half of what these kids were doing in public. ![]() They would talk back to the teacher, make loud unnecessary noises, bully other kids, and speak foul language. The moment I transfer to public school, the students were horrible. I was in private school before the 2nd grade and I remember everyone in my grade knew how to behave without any demonstration. I believe teachers should read this book because I will be the first to admit that students can be absolutely cruel to their teacher regardless what age. ![]() I guarantee you if I was a little kid I wouldn't make the connection till the end but since I am an adult it is quite clear where Miss Nelson went missing. Anyway I am on this mission to discover classic children's books to read and fall in love with and for this one I found it adorable and smart. I remember when I was a little kid I had a teacher who should us this book and I do not remember what grade this was or if she read us the story or not. ![]() 7/3/2023 0 Comments The gods themselves![]() ![]() Shadow of the Demon Lord, giving you everything you need to serve or oppose these powerful institutions.
