5/11/2023 0 Comments They Call Me Güero by David BowlesI’ll give praise to Bowles for writing about personable topics, ones that provides a mirror for many adolescents in the Borderlands. MARY: I think many people who were born and raised in the Borderlands will connect with much of this book. Even the nickname Güero brings back memories of the many Güeros I knew in my day. Many of my own lived experiences as a border native reflected Güero’s descriptions, such as the idiosyncrasies of family and community traditions. Having been born and raised in the Southwest Borderlands, there is so much to which I can relate while transacting with this book. The poems deliver insight into Güero’s complex life and the challenges an adolescent, middle school boy faces. Bowles’ descriptions reveal the complexities of the border, which illustrate the cultivation of identity, language and culture that are interwoven throughout the pages. Güero is a burgeoning poet who provides us with snapshots of his lived experience in the Southwest Borderlands. A nickname he’s had since he was “a little squirt” due to his fair skin and red hair. Violet: Written in free verse, Bowles introduces us to 12-year-old Güero. The book won the Pura Belpré Honor Award for Authors for 2019. This week, they look at They Call Me Güero: A Border Kid’s Poems by David Bowles. Mary and Violet continue to provide their takes on the 2019 Pura Belpré award winners and honor books.

With The Tenth Circle, Jodi Picoult offers her most powerful chronicle yet as she explores the unbreakable bond between parent and child and questions whether you can reinvent yourself in the course of a lifetime - or if your mistakes are carried forever. Now, everything Trixie’s ever believed about her hero, her father, seems to be a lie as Daniel ventures to hell and back, seeking revenge. Jodi Picoult is the 1 New York Times bestselling author of twenty-eight novels, including Wish You Were Here, The Book of Two Ways, A Spark of Light, Small Great Things, Leaving Time, and My Sister's Keeper, and, with daughter Samantha van Leer, two young adult novels, Between the Lines and Off the Page. But when a single act of violence shatters her innocence, seemingly mild-mannered Daniel’s convictions are put to the test-while his own shockingly tumultuous past, hidden even from his family, comes to light. Comic book artist Daniel Stone would do anything to protect his daughter. She’s also a straight-A high school student, pretty and popular, and the light of her father’s life. From New York Times bestselling author Jodi Picoult, a powerful novel that explores the unbreakable bond between parent and child, and questions whether you can reinvent yourself in the course of a lifetime-or if your mistakes are carried forever.įourteen-year-old Trixie Stone is in love for the first time. His research appeared in four books: The Book of the Damned, New Lands, Lo!, and Wild Talents. He worked for 27 years at the British Museum and the New York Public Library gathering material on phenomena from the borderlands between science and fantasy. These are the damned, by which the late Charles Ford meant all the wide range of mysteries that are ignored by orthodox science or explained away improperly. How can we answer reports of strange animals, disappearances of men from open sight, curious structures in the snow, talents like teleportation and telekinesis? How can we account for all the inexplicable astronomical observations that have been made in the past? What is the explanation of falls of frogs, falls of fishes, falls of seagulls, which have been recorded from time to time? Did beings from outer space visit earth in the past … are the various objects seen in the sky evidences of their visits? 5/10/2023 0 Comments Deeply oddIn other words, this was an ad designed to spark conversation and attention, and the RNC is probably delighted to have folks like me go along with the party’s plan.īut the fact remains that the ad is notable anyway. A regular ol’ attack ad would generate less interest than a new, modern attack ad fueled by an AI program. Just so we’re all clear, I understand that the gimmick is part of the point: The RNC released an ad featuring AI-generated images in order to make it more interesting. To enter the position, the bottomthe person being penetratedneeds to lie face-down with a pillow or sex wedge underneath their lower abdomen and hips. The video features AI-created images appearing to show Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris celebrating at an Election Day party, followed by a series of imagined reports about international and domestic crises that the ad suggests would follow a Biden victory in 2024. The Republican National Committee responded to President Biden’s re-election announcement Tuesday with an AI-generated video depicting a dystopian version of the future if he is re-elected. But as deeply odd as that messaging was, the Republican National Committee’s response to Biden’s newly announced re-election campaign seems quite a bit worse. It was incoherent and ultimately ineffective. 5/10/2023 0 Comments Strangers in their own land bookShe conducted interviews with mostly older white Christians from a region of Louisiana to try to understand this. In contrast, her research focuses on the “deep story” of conservatives that explains why they feel disenfranchised in society and how empathy can help bridge the gap between liberals and conservatives. This is because liberals often assume that blue states have better economic and political outcomes than red states but still vote for Republicans (this is called the Great Paradox). She noticed that most liberal analyses focus on economics and politics instead of emotions. 1-Page Summary of Strangers In Their Own Land Overall SummaryĪrlie Russell Hochschild, a well-known sociologist who teaches at the University of California, Berkeley, wrote this book to investigate why people vote for Republican candidates. 25.06, good condition, Sold by Goodwill of the Olympics rated 5.0 out of 5 stars, ships from TACOMA, WA.
