It demanded hand-writing, which, in a digital age, underlines the sincerity of a message. The speech’s solemn nature, its multiplicity of forms, seemed to demand something more than an electronic press release from him. But, this evening, he did release a little, hand-written essay about the address. President Obama didn’t go to Gettysburg today, which some critics, well, criticized him for. We interact with its little body of words countless ways before we read it, aloud, as Lincoln did. We carve the speech out of marble we emboss it onto metal we print it in postcards, textbooks, parchment. The speech is knotted into countless forms of media. While many historians dispute the legend that the president finished the speech on the back of an envelope, the idea of spontaneity remains. However many he said, they were few enough that they could be hand-written. No one’s quite sure how many words, exactly, Lincoln said at that cemetery in Pennsylvania. It’s a famously short speech and a famously ambiguous one. Today, November 19, is the 150th anniversary of the Gettysburg Address.

The serious subject matter is offset by his humor and wit as this self-proclaimed expert on "holding her pocket book like a man" takes you through an incredibly tough experience and what he learned from it. His lessons relate to relationship conflicts, personal motivation, and overwhelming obstacles. The struggle to stay positive, make progress in the face of impossible odds, and make the most of each day comes across in this brutally honest portrayal of the ups and downs of a major illness.

To her youth in Oxford where she is a confused student of Philosophy trying to stitch back the pieces of her soul. This particular photo takes us on the journey to Peri’s past as a child and to her dysfunctional family life. It is of herself with her two best friends and their Professor from her days at Oxford as a student. Caught in a scuffle with this tramp, Peri notices a photo fall to the ground. Set in Istanbul in 2016 with flashbacks to the past both in Istanbul and Oxford, the story is about a wealthy Turkish housewife and mother called Peri, who is on her way to a lavish dinner party when her bag is snatched by a beggar. Little did I know that as much as I would be engrossed into the first few parts, I would be utterly disappointed when the book ends. This was the book I happily picked up that day and brought it home to be engrossed into for the next several weeks. You pick up one particular title, carefully turning it over to read the cover and the plot strikes a chord within you. So one fine afternoon, you find yourself walking down the aisles of your favorite book store and you stumble upon a section having books of your current favorite author: Elif Shafak. Of course, having management sign Shane North to be the team's new winger didn't seem like a step in the right direction. He knows it's going to take a lot more than the usual coming up with plays and lecturing his players to undo everything the former coach did, but Troy knew turning the Asheville Ravens around would be difficult but doable. Turning down an assistant coaching position for an NHL team in order to be the head coach of the most hated team in the ECHL may have seemed like a crazy thing to do but Troy Callahan had his reasons. But nope, they proved the naysayers wrong. From the ten-year age difference to the fact that they were coach and player and on the same team, Troy Callahan and Shane North seemed doomed to be nothing more than a flash in the pan fling gone wrong. All for the love of Hot Coach McDirty Texts and his bratty winger. I read Avon Gale's Scoring Chances series one book after the other and by the time I got to the fifth and latest release, Coach's Challenge, I knew I had cemented my status as a fangirl because I broke my promise to no longer read into the wee hours of the morning. And I may have laughed in that silent but clearly laughing way I get when something is really funny (yes, I'm weird that way). I actually squeed more than once while reading this book. Ruth Hudson, mother of lost Edmund Fitzgerald crew member Bruce Hudson, and other surviving family members, welcome Gordon Lightfoot to the Mariners’ Church of Detroit in 2012 - one of the legend’s three visits there. The 30 th was for Lightfoot, who died Monday at the age of 84. 10, 1975, the bells of the Mariners’ Church of Detroit rang 30 times to commemorate that tragic day. But with one ring of a church bell, Lightfoot is now one of them.įor the first time since the legendary laker went down off Whitefish point in Lake Superior, near Sault Ste.

They were to be avoided at all times, like attack dogs without muzzles.” After desperation drove Habib to attempt suicide, her survival pushed her to emerge from under the patriarchal, homophobic expectations of both her culture of origin and the broader Western culture within which she matured. Masking her feelings also proved useful when her family sought asylum in Canada and “traded one set of anxieties for another.” There, the author endured racist bullying, growing alienation from her family, and the despair of her arranged marriage at 16: “Getting to know men was not something the women in my family were encouraged to do. Hiding also provided tenuous safety for her Ahmadi Muslim family amid growing state and extremist violence against the religious minority. In her debut, writer, photographer, and activist Habib begins with her childhood in Pakistan, where she learned the protective value of hiding, which insulated her from public stigma (and her mother’s private devastation) after Habib survived child sexual abuse at age 4. A queer Muslim woman recounts her emotional, sexual, and spiritual unfurling. This was a very clever move that I haven't seen in a YA novel before. It also sets the atmosphere for each section: The Strings is about breaking, and irreversible change The Grass is about friends, family and memories The Vessel is about journeys and final destinations. Each section focuses on one of the metaphors, and it is mentioned in a number of forms. These represent the three metaphors used throughout the book. The book is split into three parts, namely The Strings, The Grass and The Vessel. My favourite element of the plot is the three sections. It balances the comedy and the diary-like stories with the mystery brilliantly, by mixing them together. The trail of clues gives the book a driving force, something that makes you want to read on. The main plot follows Q and his friends as they try to uncover the cryptic clues Margo left behind… They have their night of adventure, but when Q wakes up in the morning, Margo has vanished. They hardly speak until Margo climbs into Q's bedroom and invites him to join her on a mission of revenge. Years later, our two main characters are in high school and have drifted apart. It's all fun and games until one day Margo and Q come across a dead body. Our protagonist is Quentin 'Q' Jacobsen, whose boring life is turned upside down when the stunning Margo Roth Spiegelman moves in next door. I was very eager to read this following how much I loved An Abundance of Katherines, and I decided that I had to read it before I saw the film due to my golden rule: read the book before you watch the film. Well they're buildin' the gallows outside my cell. Each verse consists of two lines, of which the first line is anything from humorous to poignant, and the second line is a minute-by-minute countdown. The song is literally " gallows humor", as it is sung by a man awaiting his own execution by hanging. " 25 Minutes to Go" is a song by Shel Silverstein, from his 1962 album Inside Folk Songs.
