![]() ![]() Emmett was a fourteen (14) years old black youth, who in 1955, while visiting relatives in Money, Mississippi was murdered for allegedly whistling at a white woman. The author explains who Emmett Till was at the end of the book. While Nelson has presented fifteen (15) sonnets the last is just a compilation of the first sentence of the fourteen (14) sonnets. The title also refers that this is a wreath of sonnets which is fourteen (14) sonnets where the last sentence of the sonnet and the first sentence of the next sonnet are the same or very close. I liked that Nelson explains what an Italian or Petrarchan sonnet is and how she came to write it, before she presents the sonnet. Nelson has written an Italian sonnet for Emmett Till. While you will find this book listed in genres as a children’s picture book I think it is most appropriate for high school.

"About this title" may belong to another edition of this title. No matter what he does or the decisions he makes, when death comes, Harry always returns to where he began, a child with all the knowledge of a life he has already lived a dozen times before. Whoever Claire North turns out to be, he or she has written a remarkable book. The pseudonymous author’s name is being kept secret, but fans of SF and fantasy authors China Mieville, Christopher Priest, and Adam Roberts might note a stylistic similarity, especially in the novel’s elegant prose. Beautifully written and structured, the book should be a big hit with SF fans. This wonderful novel, narrated by Harry, ranges back and forth in time as he recounts episodes from his various lives, but it’s all held together by a compelling mystery involving nothing less than the end of the world itself (a thousand years in the future). Harry is, like a few others, a kalachakra, an immortal who is constantly reborn, each time with all the memories of his previous lives. ![]() ![]() He is human but a different sort of human from the rest of us: he was born (in the ladies’ washroom of a train station in England in 1919), he lives a certain number of years, and he dies-and then he’s born again, right back where he started, and a handful of years later his memories of his first life return. ![]() Claire North, The First Fifteen Lives of Harry August. *Starred Review* Harry August isn’t human. The secret to being unafraid of the darkness is to challenge the darkness to fear you, to raise your eyes sharp to those few souls who stagger by, daring them to believe that you are not, in fact, more frightening than they are. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Thompson, The Making of the English Working Class) do we again get a comparable glimpse of what the common people were thinking. Milton and Bunyan were both products of this popular upsurge, this inchoate vision of a ""counter-culture"" which was quickly extinguished by the upper classes who by 1660 had once again dosed ranks. Not the gentry who ultimately reaped the economic and political rewards of the Civil War, these were itinerant artisans, preachers, laborers and even vagabonds they spoke with thundering prophetic voices not heard since the late Middle Ages: When Adam delved and Eve span, who was then a gentleman? To most of their highborn contemporaries they represented what Hill wryly calls ""the lunatic fringe,"" mad men summoning up a topsy-turvy ""world turned upside down"" in which property was no longer sacrosanct, the lowliest He was equal to the mightiest He in the realm, and the Protestant Ethic rejected as the mainstay of social order. ![]() From the torrent of pamphlets and sermons unleashed by the withdrawal of censorship in the years 1645-1653 Hill has produced a grassroots study of the brief and sudden efflorescence of the various millenarian sects - the Ranters, Diggers, Levellers, Quakers and Fifth Monarchists. A stunning analysis of the intellectual and social origins of the ""revolt within a Revolution"" - the religious and political ideas of the extreme left of English Puritanism. ![]() ![]() ![]() Really, though, “Sarah Plain and Tall” is about much more than its story.

Getting the old gang together was a very good idea, since everyone evinces a deep understanding of the material’s subtle heart. Produced by Theaterworks, this staging nearly mimics the company’s 2002 premiere, retaining director Joe Calarco, the design team and most of the cast. ![]() ![]() Next Year, For Sure tracks the tumultuous, revelatory, and often very funny year that follows.
