She is the person who explains how it looks around her and it is also she who tells how both the social and physical environment look. ![]() In this case, this book contains both a reference environmental description and a descriptive environmental description, since the book is presented from the main character Hazel’s perspective, however, there are paragraphs from the book where one has to make one’s own picture. A referencing environmental description is when a character in the book or when the author himself describes the environment for the reader and a shaping environmental description allows the reader to read in and feel the environments where the characters move. They are referred to as referring to environmental description and design environmental description. There are two different ways to describe the environments. The book has a nice environment that captivates the reader through the descriptions. The author John Green has done it well, and it is a part that makes the book fun to read. Through the environmental descriptions in the book one can imagine the scenes in the head and this makes it a good book that arouses the interest of the reader. The environment in the book ‘The Fault in Our Stars’ is a big part of the book. ![]()

![]() ![]() Headnotes and footnotes supply the personal, literary, historical and scientific information necessary to an informed reading of Shelley’s varied and allusive verse. Date and circumstances of composition are provided for each poem and all manuscript and printed sources relevant to establishing an authoritative text are freshly examined and assessed. This is the first volume of the five-volume The Poems of Shelley, which presents all of Shelley’s poems in chronological order and with full annotation. ![]() Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792-1822) was one of the major Romantic poets, and wrote what is critically recognised as some of the finest lyric poetry in the English language. ![]() ![]() ![]() Gateway is a text adventure with graphics, based on the Heechee universe books by Frederik Pohl. ![]() Eventually, he discovers an ancient device that contain a warning against a mysterious alien species known as Assassins - and the prospector is entrusted with the task of protecting the humans from that threat. The protagonist of the game is one of those prospectors, having won the membership alongside a small sum of money and a one-way ticket to the Gateway. Since traveling to the potentially dangerous destinations involves a great deal of risk, only some particularly courageous (or perhaps reckless) adventurers, called "prospectors", volunteered to go on these journeys.

Eventually, an abandoned, yet fully functional Heechee spaceship is discovered. It is assumed that a highly advanced alien race known as Heechee has constructed those tunnels thousands of years ago.

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() All is spoiled by the fact that I am a girl, a female always in danger of assault and battery.Why should they be relegated to the position of custodian of emotions, watcher of infants, feeder of soul, body and pride of man? Being a woman is my awful tragedy. Before I give my body, I must give my thoughts, my mind, my dreams. ![]() Any boy would deny that any gallant boy any gallant liar. You don’t give a damn about me except physically.I picked these excerpts very carefully some of these have happened to me, some are ideas I thought of but couldn’t put into words and some are just beautiful sentences I happened to highlight in my book but I can assure you that all of these are philosophical and eternally rational. It’s been only three days since I first laid my hands on The Unabridged Journals of Sylvia Plath and I have not finished reading it yet but I am already itching to share with you some of the lines I found incredibly relatable, mentally stimulating and even haunting at times. I myself have read her books and poems in various sources and I admit that it is difficult to choose only twenty-five quotes to include in this post because almost every line she has written can make a good one. Many of us know how much of a brilliant poet and writer Sylvia Plath is. ![]() ![]() ![]() Lawhon excels at third-person narrative, and I confess that I favored her other books as a result, all of which had a more literary bent than this first-person book. ![]() I continue to appreciate the way the author experiments with timelines, as well. The character is full of pluck, and the story – despite its serious nature – showcased some laugh-out-loud moments. This is the story of Nancy Grace Augusta Wake’s resistance efforts during WWII in France, but also it is a story of her marriage. (Yes, the fictional story is – remarkably – based on a real-life character ). CODE NAME HELENE by Ariel Lawhon was the right book at the right time for me – the story of a tough-as-nails woman whose struggles and bravery make our shelter-in-place woes seem trivial. ![]() ![]() ![]() Samad's late-in-life arranged marriage (he had to wait for his bride to be born), produces twin sons whose separate paths confound Iqbal's every effort to direct them, and a renewed, if selective, submission to his Islamic faith. A second marriage to Clara Bowden, a beautiful, albeit tooth-challenged, Jamaican half his age, quite literally gives Archie a second lease on life, and produces Irie, a knowing child whose personality doesn't quite match her name (Jamaican for 'no problem'). ![]() Hapless veterans of World War II, Archie and Samad and their families become agents of England's irrevocable transformation. But the truth is that Zadie Smith's voice is remarkably, fluently, and altogether wonderfully her own.Īt the center of this invigorating novel are two unlikely friends, Archie Jones and Samad Iqbal. Zadie Smith's dazzling debut caught critics grasping for comparisons and deciding on everyone from Charles Dickens to Salman Rushdie to John Irving and Martin Amis. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() **WARNING: THIS REVIEW CONTAINS UNAVOIDABLE SPOILERS FOR BOOKS 1-4 IN THE KATE DANIELS SERIES. I’m actually ashamed of how long it took me to finally come around and read this book. Why did I read this book: I am a big fan of Kate Daniels – each book in the series keeps getting better. How did I get this book: ARC from the publisher Stand alone or series: Book 5 in the ongoing Kate Daniels series ![]() Turns out this is not an isolated incident, and Kate needs to get to the bottom of it-fast, or the city and everyone dear to her might pay the ultimate price. So when Atlanta’s premier Master of the Dead calls to ask for help with a vampire on the loose, Kate leaps at the chance of some paying work. ![]() Starting her own business has been more challenging than she thought it would be-now that the Order is disparaging her good name, and many potential clients are afraid of getting on the bad side of the Beast Lord, who just happens to be Kate’s mate. Or she would be if she could get someone to hire her. Kate Daniels may have quit the Order of Merciful Aid, but she’s still knee-deep in paranormal problems. Plagued by a war between magic and technology, Atlanta has never been so deadly. ![]() |
