![]() ![]() This country is huge, and there is so much to see, we decided to take a trip around the USA on our bikes, just him and I! We decided that we needed something to get to know each other again, and we both love to ride motorcycles. But reconnecting is a little harder than just wanting it. We successfully co-exist and have raised a beautiful family together, and we hardly ever fight. I love my husband, and I truly believe he loves me. After so many years of taking care of the “have to’s” in busy family life, there is a division that creeps in slowly, and you never see this until there is no one left but the two of you. I found that after many years of marriage, you kind of sink into a rut. ![]() Have you ever wondered what pure unadulterated freedom was like? We were about to find out on a great adventure. I’m not much of a planner, I have friends that are great at these things, but I love living life one day at a time. I was able to get three months off work, so that was it! June, July and August of 2017, we were totally free, no responsibilities, no deadlines, and no real plan. ![]() ![]() We may be older, but in our minds, we are still kids with lots of good years left to play. That left us with a whole lot of time to do whatever we wanted. Last year, my husband retired, and the last child moved out of the house to follow their own dreams. ![]()

![]() “An undisputed masterpiece by one of the greatest modern poets, translated here by a master of translation.” - Village Voice Literary Supplement “Stephen Mitchell’s translations are masterful re-creations of the original, giving both precise renderings of Rilke’s language and sensitive interpretations of his poetic intent.” - Library Journal This is a beautifully designed, elegant and spacious volume, and it is splendidly annotated.” -Michael Hofmann, The New York Times Book Review Mitchell’s versions actually enhance the original. Mitchell brought to his earlier book he also brings to this one – an eye for a strong line a sympathetic tact that allows him to supply a word from what is only suggested or to swell one of Rilke’s almost subliminal, one-word metaphors into a whole English phrase the ability to reproduce the tone of common speech in Rilke a knack for ingeniously simple versions of certain crucial Rilkean terms and the use of off-rhymes to solve the formal problems of translating these “conjugated” sonnets. Mitchell’s version, the ideal poetics and the perfect translator.” -William Arrowsmith ![]() ![]() ![]() No doubt about it, Rilke has at last found, in Mr. ![]() “Stephen Mitchell’s translation of Rilke’s most demandingly difficult and loveliest work instantly makes every other rendering obsolete. ![]() ![]() (If it had been an upper-middle-class white woman screaming "motherfucker" at a phat-pantsed white preppie, communicative cooperativeness would have obliged Parker to mention that fact lest the reader draw the wrong conclusions.) The race and class of the woman and her companion weren't specified, but readers might have been able to divine those attributes from the particular word Parker chose to report (or was that the only vulgarity the woman used?), helped along by the setting at Broadway and 168th Street and the mentions of the separated father and in particular of the young man's "baggy drawers," which presumably were intended to convey some relevant information. ![]() Finally, she shared with us bystanders her belief that said mother- would not be welcome in her house (Hark! Good news at last!) and that he could very well seek shelter at his mother-ing father’s house. ![]() It wasn’t possible to discern whether he was her mate or her son, but his attire (baggy drawers) and insolent disposition seemed to suggest the latter.Įvery other word out of the woman’s mouth was mother-, presumably a coincidental reference to any familial relationship.

I also got spoiled for the Remnant Chronicles again, but whatever. Like all of Jase's siblings, it took me a while to remember who they were, and I feel ashamed. It took me a while to remember who certain characters were, what certain things were, where certain places were. I still like them though.Īlso, I remembered nothing that happened in the first book. I got so upset when Kazi and Jase almost met back up but then GUNNER AND MASON AND PRIYA had to throw Kazi out. ![]() I was on the edge of my seat for this entire book, waiting for things to happen, waiting for CERTAIN events to occur. The beginning was chill and normal, just Kazi and Jase riding their horses and then BOOM.

The following are the biggest differences between The Princess Bride film and the original book. ![]() Related: The Princess Bride Coming To Disney+ On May 1Īs with any book to movie adaptation, The Princess Bride strayed a bit from its original source material. Once Westley is believed to be killed in a shipwreck, Buttercup is forced to marry a prince, but is kidnapped before the wedding. Westley is discovered to be alive, and the movie follows his and Buttercup's tumultuous journey of finding each other again and living happily ever after. The princess falls in love with a farmhand named Westley. The story is about Princess Buttercup of Florin. The majority of film takes place within the context of that book. The Princess Bride, which went on to be regarded as one of the best fantasy movies of the '80s, opens with a man reading a fairy tale to his grandson, who is home sick in bed. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() When she casually mentions that someone as wealthy as Wang Lung has every right to buy a concubine, the solution to Wang Lung's problem becomes obvious: he will buy Lotus Flower and keep her as his concubine. The uncle's wife sees immediately what no one else has observed-that Wang Lung is having an affair with another woman. ![]() The solution comes, ironically, from his uncle's wife, whom he overhears talking to O-lan. Wang Lung himself cannot quench his passion for Lotus Flower and does not know what to do next, as he is consumed in his love for this dainty person. In China, where ancestor worship is the main type of worship, Wang Lung resents his uncle and his uncle's intrusion, but he knows also that "it is a shame to a man when he has enough and spare to drive his own father's brother and son from the house." Consequently, Wang Lung now has three more people living in the house. It is, however, modified by the arrival of Wang Lung's uncle. These two chapters continue with the love that possesses Wang Lung. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Much additional sidebar material is incorporated throughout, such as: special features on plants and extinct animals, top ten lists (e.g., weirdest noses of all time), letters from evolution throughout history in the style of explorer's logs, passive aggressive (okay, sometimes aggressive) notes to evolution from disgruntled creatures, and other miscellany. This haphazard methodology produces creatures like the emperor tamarin, a monkey with a moustache bigger than its face (apparently made during Evolution's hipster phase) the flannel moth, which, as a larva, looks convincingly like Donald Trump's hair the macaque, endowed with an enormous pink butt spiders made to look like bird poop and a warty pig with a blue rocker mohawk.

The book, a 700-page doorstop, is still mandatory reading for any student of animal behaviour. Wilson became a household name in 1975 when he published the book Sociobiology: The New Synthesis. Wilson is currently writing about is a good start. To date, if you want to get an idea of where contemporary controversy in evolutionary biology lies, looking at what Edward O. Ever since, however, the now 83-year-old Harvard professor, likely the most famous evolutionary biologist alive, has never been afraid of an intellectual brawl. It did not take long for young Ed to learn enough genetics to dismiss Lysenko. Wilson, 14 at the time, wrote an enthusiastic essay about the Soviet biologist Trofim Lysenko, a Stalinist protégé who advocated the now discredited theory of inheritance of acquired characteristics. ![]() ![]() The first scientific controversy to capture the mind of the young Edward O.
