I love how she and Leafpool have been able to develop an understanding. It was absolutely the awesomest thing! I adore Hollyleaf, she has always been my favorite character through thick and thin, and the Erin’s did say she might have a bigger role to play in this new series so I’m really hoping I’ll see her again. Since I bought the Barnes and Noble book, I had received a bonus scene at the back of the book. I am curious to see how the codebreaker’s subplot will progress. Although, if it was Rock he definitely seems a bit crueler than we’ve seen him before. As he knew too much to afford having them. Also, I’m thinking maybe the tom that Shadowpaw is speaking to is Rock? If you think about it, Rock had always said he had no loyalty to one Clan nor friends. wow! I loved this book! I loved reading the pre-theory about Bramblestar having rabies but as the book - and Bramblestar’s condition - came to a close I wonder if he is possessed? It would make more sense, since Shadowpaw saw Bramblestar calling out for help, and how he became very irate towards the end could have been his spirit and another fighting for control over his body.

In the 1960s, countercultural movements adopted Native American dress and customs like peyote as markers of pre-industrial, pre-urbane simplicity. In horror movies, the trope of the Indian burial ground is deployed as a threat to the fantasy of white suburban innocence. Save some recent wins, like the Hulu series Reservation Dogs, Indigenous people have more often appeared in the American imaginary as relics of a conveniently distant past. popular culture could assume Native Americans were extinct.

A 4 star means I'm probably in trouble with my editor for missing a deadline because I was reading this book. A 3 star means that I've ignored friends to finish it and my sink is full of dirty dishes. So a 2 star from me means,yes, I liked the book, and I'd loan it to a friend and it went everywhere in my jacket pocket or purse until I finished it. If a book is so-so, it ends up under the bed somewhere, or maybe under a stinky judo bag in the back of the van. It's a good book that survives the reading process with me. I LIKED it! That means I read the whole thing, to the last page, in spite of my life raining comets on me. ** I am shocked to find that some people think a 2 star 'I liked it' rating is a bad rating. Widely reposted, Zambreno's blog became an outlet for her highly informed and passionate rants about the fates of the modernist "wives and mistresses." In her blog entries, Zambreno reclaimed the traditionally pathologized biographies of Vivienne Eliot, Jane Bowles, Jean Rhys, and Zelda Fitzgerald: writers and artists themselves who served as male writers' muses only to end their lives silenced, erased, and institutionalized. Taking the self out feels like obeying a gag order-pretending an objectivity where there is nothing objective about the experience of confronting and engaging with and swooning over literature." - from Heroines On the last day of December, 2009 Kate Zambreno began a blog called Frances Farmer Is My Sister, arising from her obsession with the female modernists and her recent transplantation to Akron, Ohio, where her husband held a university job. I am beginning to realize that taking the self out of our essays is a form of repression. Abbott provides an alternate view of this tumultuous time in history by featuring previously untold stories of the impact women and civilians had on the war effort, and she brings these individuals fully to life, with their passion for their causes (Elizabeth for abolitionism, Rose for the Confederacy), personal flaws (Rose was racist and self-involved, Belle was impulsive and vain), and heartbreak (Emma by two different men, Belle for an opposing spy). Meticulously researched and fluidly written, this book draws the reader in and doesn’t let go until the four heroines draw their final breaths. In this gripping book, Abbott ( Sin in the Second City) tells the moving and fascinating story of four women who played unconventional roles during the Civil War: Belle Boyd, a boisterous flirt and Confederate spy Rose Greenhow, a seductive widow also spying for the South Emma Edmondson, who disguised herself as a man and enlisted in the Union army and Elizabeth Van Lew, a wealthy spinster in the Confederate capital with Unionist loyalties. |
