![]() ![]() Scarlett ran out into the hall, observing with some astonishment that her knees were a little unsteady, and leaned over the banisters. Please tell her I am going away tomorrow and may be gone some time. "But she is lying down now, Captain Butler, and won't see anyone. ![]() "I think she'll see me," Rhett's voice floated up to her. ![]() She had not seen him since he broke the news of Frank's death to her, and now she knew, deep in her heart, that he was the one person who could help her tonight. She wondered incuriously who it was and, when a man's voice, resonant and drawling, rose above Pitty's funereal whispering, she knew. She had taken an important and melancholy pleasure in talking to the condolence callers. Some neighbor calling to discuss the funeral or to bring a blanc mange. There was the sound of greeting and an indistinguishable murmur. The knocker on the front door hammered with a dull sound that made the still house echo and she heard Aunt Pitty's waddling steps crossing the hall and the door opening. ![]()

Raw belle aurora book 27/8/2023 ![]() ![]() Twitch and Lexi didnt have the greatest upbringings, Twitch espeically, and years later, Lexi is content in her life, she is helping young people in need, something she never really had growing up. Once I read of the synopsis and once download, I was opening up the ebook and divulging into the world of Twtich and Lexi, following their every move, their every thought and feelings, and my god, this is such a fucking brilliant book to read if you have yet to. I needed to know how this would all go down and what the hell made her fall for her stalker. Of course I had to download Raw, I had never read a book about a stalker and about a heroine falling for said stalker. Since turning to the ‘dark side’ of romance, I had seen many rave about Raw, about Twitch and especially about a certain scene about Twitch that killed them. This was the first book I had read of Belle Aurora, but it certainly wont be the last. I’m sure you’re wondering how a person falls in love with their stalker. I know where I’m going and I’ll get there eventually. The world makes way for those who know where they are going. Like me, they know what it’s like to grow up unloved. Now, at the age of twenty six, I’m educated, employed and damn good at my job. Soon as I turned sixteen, I left that bump in the road I called home and took my chances on the street. Growing up the way I did, you’d think I’d be more screwed up than what I actually am. ***Author Note: This is not a love story. ![]()

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() In politics, Schumpeter was a liberal conservative - or perhaps a conservative liberal - but he was also deeply influenced by his Marxian contemporaries. A phrase Schumpeter coined to describe the essence of capitalism as he understood it, “creative destruction,” has become one of the most familiar terms in the economic lexicon. He published prolifically in both German and English on questions of economic theory, economic sociology, economic and social policy, and the history of ideas. Joseph Alois Schumpeter was one of the most prominent political economists during the first half of the twentieth century. ![]()

The hymn to demeter7/6/2023 ![]() ![]() In disguise as an old woman, Demeter attempts to turn a human child immortal by placing him into the fire. Through its themes the Homeric Hymn also provides a warning lesson on how to treat divinities, that is to say, show them respect, honour them, worship them, and trust that their word is law. ![]() Demeter ended the famine and the Hymn concludes with the founding of the Eleusinian Mysteries. Persephone had consumed a pomegranate seed, partially linking her to the Underworld, but she was still able to spend two-thirds of the year on Earth with her mother. "Demeter might well have destroyed the whole of humankind by a famine" (Line 278) if not for Zeus commanding Hermes to bring Persephone back. She was welcomed initially but after failing to turn a human baby immortal she commanded that a great temple be built in her honour and ragefully created a famine on earth. ![]() After Demeter discovered that Zeus had given Persephone to his brother to marry without the consent of the young woman, "she left the immortals who gathered together in council on the broad expanse of Olympus" (Lines 86 - 87) and travelled to the town of Eleusis disguised as an elderly woman. Persephone was picking flowers when Hades carried her to the Underworld in his chariot. The Homeric Hymn to Demeter is an epic poem that tells the story of the abduction of Persephone by Hades and Demeter's struggle to bring her beloved daughter back (Foley, 1994, p. ![]()

![]() ![]() ![]() Suitably comical way to die for a children's book. ![]() In the book, kickin' it Dahl style, James' awful aunts, Sponge and Spiker are killed when the gigantic rolling peach flattens them into the ground. There was just more disappointment than entertainment in this movie for me to enjoy it. ![]() Also, you must know that I am grasping for things that I enjoyed when I am complimenting the colors in the film, no matter how truthful my statement is. The colors used in the movie are beautiful-it seems such a weird thing to compliment, a nice color palette-and I did enjoy the way the movie was filmed. Because of all the fantastical elements of the book, I understand and applaud the moviemakers for choosing to use claymation for portions of the film. After doing so, I am so tempted to just write, "No. (maybe even a coblogger of mine) As usual, I watched the movie directly after the book. Talking animals (or bugs) are just not my bag, though I know a lot of people who love them. As far as Roald Dahl books go, even though I enjoyed it, James and the Giant Peach is not among my favorites. I remembered very little about this book before I reread it for this blog post and I'd never seen the movie. ![]()
