![]() With his descriptions and illustrations, we feel like we, too, are inside the tunnel in a car on top of a train. Seuss really knows how to make darkness appealing. ![]() Would you, could you, in the dark? (85-88) Things get crazy-and a little wet-as you are mercilessly pursued by Sam (with ham) and forced to travel through surreal landscapes where hills turn from red to yellow in the blink of a ham. When you do visit this part of Seussville, take out plenty of insurance and pack your snorkeling gear. Here, you must live life! Here, you must seize the ham (before the ham seizes you)! After all, in this part of Seussville, motion is mandatory. ![]() In spite of the, um, restrictive dining options, we are huge fans. This part of Seussville is most famous for its signature dish, the notorious green eggs and ham platter. ![]() ![]() ![]() I now have her advice and this book to talk to my daughter with when situations, like being a part of the club arise's.

This graphic novel is a semi autobiographical account of Shannon growing up from Kindergarten to fifth grade and finding her real friends. ![]() The first one I grabbed was Real Friends by Newbery Honor author Shannon Hale, with artwork by LeUyen Pham.

Named by Chase himself as one of his favorite roles of all time, Fletch is a fun film to quote. With comedy classics like Christmas Vacation, European Vacation, and Caddyshack under his belt, the 1985 film Fletch often takes a backseat when remembering Chevy Chase‘s greatest film roles. Here are some of the funniest Fletch quotes from the brilliant 1985 film. ![]() Picked by Chevy Chase himself, Fletch is one of his favorite roles from his acting career. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Among many other minorities, the female artist is overshadowed by the history that male artists and art historians want to preserve. To summarize the beginning of the article, Nochlin approaches the issue of the lack of great women artists by pointing out that art history, as a field, belongs to the white male perspective. Linda Nochlin wrote "Why Have There Been No Great Women Artists?" in 1971 and it is currently seen as the literary cornerstone of feminist art history. ![]() Beyond that, Nochlin introduces us to the conundrum of whether its better to highlight women artists for the sake of creating women's art history or if the art and art history community should expand its consideration to anyone, not just the small group of people who fit the famous artist mold. Nochlin does this by spotlighting those female artists who have stood out within the larger community of famous artists while pondering if these few artists are enough to say that there have been great women artists. This article brought to light the discussion of feminist art history, and how it can be defined within art history as a whole. The question "why are there no great women artists" is a question that sent shockwaves through art history when Linda Nochlin published her article using this question as her title. ![]() ![]() ![]() these medicines available to him."ĭallek says there were no conditions set on his use of JFK's medical records in the hopes that the author would paint the former president in a more positive light. He probably never could have been president if he didn't have.

What made all this so fascinating was that Molly’s stock-in-trade as a writer, the theme that came up time and again through her long career, was fractured mother-daughter relationships. An extrovert, Molly – who died in 1996 at the age of 91 – often seemed infuriated by elements of her daughter’s character: her natural introspection, unpunctuality, tendency to comfort eat, and self-confessed laziness. ![]() Molly’s relationship with Sally had never been easy. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() While at the Dumonts, Baumfree experienced tension and harassment from John’s wife, Elizabeth and rape by John.

Sojourner Truth was born Isabella Baumfree in 1797 in Ulster County, New York, the daughter of James and Elizabeth Baumfree. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The overriding premise might lead you to believe that this is a fictional memoir, but it is not. The title for this story could not be more perfect for describing the tale this short novel tells. This notion held the promise of a tortured soul and a detailed look at what it meant to be happy. I was immediately drawn to the idea of Snow White in her later years battling emotional forces she hadn’t dealt with since she was a child. As she tries desperately to get away and remove herself from everyone in the castle she stumbles down a long forgotten passage that leads her to the truth of her past – will it be enough to mend her fractured soul or will it shatter this delicate lady once and for all?
