Step into a day when outlaws ran free, the land was wild, and guns blazed at the drop of a hat. Now was probably not the time to tell her he'd made a huge mistake last summer. Blast if he didn't hate complications, and Sharyah with her alluring brown eyes and silky blond hair was a walking, talking personification of complication. Sharyah Jordan was not supposed to be here. Cascade Bennett shattered her dreams only last summer, and now he plans to kidnap her and haul her into the wilderness with a bunch of outlaws.for her own protection? She'd rather be locked in her classroom for a whole week with Brandon McBride and his arsenal of tricks, and that was saying something.Ĭade Bennett's heart nearly drops to his toes when he sees Sharyah standing by the desk. Heart pounding in shock, Sharyah Jordan gapes at the outlaw staring down the barrel of his gun at her. Now he's back to ask for a second chance. – observe and describe types of precipitation, including rain, snow, and ice (sleet and hail) – observe and describe precipitation in terms of evaporation and condensation of water – describe weather in terms of temperature, wind, and precipitation – measure and record weather data, using weather instruments, including a thermometer, rain gauge, and weather vane – record and interpret daily temperature, using a graph with numbered axes – observe and record daily weather conditions, such as sunny, cloudy, windy, rainy, or snowy – observe and describe seasonal weather patterns and local variations Key concepts include:Ī) identification of common storms and other weather phenomenaī) the uses and importance of measuring, recording, and interpreting weather dataĬ) the uses and importance of tracking weather data over time The student will investigate and understand basic types, changes, and patterns of weather.

Given their ghostly state, the characters (all assumed white) are fully fleshed out, each seeking a way to cope in their Neverland existence.Īn eloquent and haunting tale, especially for philosophically-minded readers. She offers philosophical meditations on the meaning of life and death, although they frequently seem imparted by the author rather than arrived at by Beatrice, the narrator, who, having just finished her freshman year at Emerson College, seems too short on life experiences for the depth of these reflections. In her young adult debut, Pessl ( Night Film, 2013, etc.) manages to keep her first-person narrative moving forward while her characters are stuck in time. They will remain in this limbo until the point when they decide which one of them may return to the world of the living. A mysterious man who calls himself the Keeper tells Beatrice, Kipling, Whitley, Cannon, and Martha that they are trapped in a Groundhog Day–like existence called Neverworld Wake. Heading back to the mansion where they’re staying following a punk-rock concert in Newport, Rhode Island, they nearly collide with a tow truck and barrel off the road into a ditch, setting up a strange journey into the unknown. Five close friends-who used to be six until one of them died-are together again a year after their graduation from boarding school. Since its rediscovery, the bed has been subjected to a wide array of investigation by furniture specialists, medieval historians, design historians and scientists. As a tour-de-force of medieval royal woodwork, the bed offers an unprecedented insight into elite domestic furniture from this period. The Henry VII and Elizabeth of York marriage bed, rediscovered in 2010, is an exceptional piece of late medieval English royal furniture: no other equivalent example of secular domestic furniture is known to have survived, and, indeed, precious little woodwork from this period remains outside of ecclesiastical settings.

Item: 334759000246 The Crow Trap By Ann Cleeves. In the ground-breaking novel, published in 1913, the author tackled his own overly attached relationship to his mother.Only after his mother dies can he start his own life. He gets intellectual satisfaction from his childhood sweetheart Miriam, and finds sexual fulfillment with the married Clara. This keeps him from having healthy relationships with other women. Paul’s unhappily married mother chooses him to be her closest confidant.Lawrence’s first great novel, scandalized the public and established his reputation as an erotic writer. In this early 20th century masterpiece, the author described the effect of emotional alienation, broken dreams, borderline incestuous motherly love and repressed sexuality in a way that still resonates today – if only because we all can’t help being more or less damaged ourselves. Yet none of that addresses his fundamental points. Today some scholars snub their noses at him for being a reactionary misogynist. Many of his contemporaries were aghast at the brutal realities and sexual liberties he described. In 1926, he wrote to a friend: “We can’t help being more or less damaged.” Sons and Lovers is his mostly autobiographical account of the damage done to him by an overbearing mother and underwhelming father, but also the damage he did to the women he engaged with. Lawrence remembered that his mother would collect him and his siblings to tell them spiteful horror stories about their father.

Yelena is an orphan, who was sent to an orphanage, that is run by one of the generals, Brazel. Sita is ruled by powerful magicians that Ambrose banished, since magic is outlawed, (the king liked and used magic.) Some fan art of Yelena that I found He’s a dictator, but has a council of generals that run different provinces. A man named Commander Ambrose led an uprising and took over with the help of his right hand man, Valek, (he’s basically an assassin.) The Commander now rules Ixia with a somewhat communist/oligarchyish government. Yelena, the protagonist, lives in the fantasy worlds Ixia (North) and Sita (South) where a king once ruled the land. Just a warning, this review has spoilers.įor those who need to be refreshed or are annoying and just don’t want to read it, here’s some background info: It’s “new adult” so there’s some adult themes, and violence. However if you do decide to read it be warned. I finished it recently and it’s still really good and important to me. I read this book a good two or three years ago, but I wanted to reread it so I could review it. |
