5/26/2023 0 Comments Lysistrata cliff notes![]() ![]() Lysistrata is often produced in contemporary theatre. “While this is natural in a myth-based literature, the degree of focus on these non-public domestic relationships in a literature, which is through performance so completely public – the dramatic festivals were a matter of great civic pride to the Athenians”. (Slater, 48) Female psychology, their sexual encounters within family, explored in details. ![]() As in the case of fifth-century Greek, many dramas were populated by giant female characters like Clytemnestra and Lysistrata, “who burst the confines of domestic life and act commandingly, though often destructively, in the very political sphere, which was barred to them in life”. There is no Western literary form, which is so powerfully woman-centered, than Greek drama. ![]()

It was essentially a teen soap opera in the form of short novels with pastel-coloured covers, complete with dramatic and emotional storylines (the first ten books alone involve a motorbike crash, a coma, a personality swap and a college guy with an ill-advised moustache) and was written by a team of ghostwriters, presided over by creator Francine Pascal. For the uninitiated, Sweet Valley High was a young adult series that ran from 1983 to 1997 and centred on the lives of blonde identical twins Elizabeth and Jessica Wakefield in the fictional California town of Sweet Valley. ![]() As my co-host Anna explains in the intro to our podcast, Double Love explores the strange and terrifying world of Sweet Valley High, book by book. ![]() ![]() ![]() You see more parents looking back and looking for places in their lives that hold meaning that can be translated into names," said Satran, who also co-wrote the books "The Baby Name Bible" and "Cool Names for Babies."Įthnic pride could also be a factor for parents of Hispanic descent.

His best-known work is ‘The King in Yellow’ (1895), a highly vivid collection of Art Nouveau short stories. ![]() He had written his first novel in 1887 ‘In the Quarter’ and felt that was where his time would now be best spent. His career then took a dramatic turn for reasons that are not entirely clear. On returning to New York, he sold illustrations to Life, Truth, and Vogue magazines.

The voice of the character was unbelievable. The fact that it was written as a letter also made it different. Also, how someone can get used to an abnormal life somehow. I loved how it talked about reasons why Matt didn't tell anyone about the abuse. I felt emotions the characters were going through. The writing, the story, just everything was so beautiful. Even Nikki had a side that was understandable. They all had their flaws and they all had times of vulnerability. It may be something he just had to do but I felt as if it were something more than that. With the way he protected his little sisters. It didn't just occur suddenly but over a realistic period of time. This is one of the best character developments I have read. It's not only about an abusive mother but it involves outsiders who were dragged into it. Emmy was too young to fully understand her past and so Matt has taken it as his responsibility to tell her about it. This is the story of Matt, Callie, and Emmy, written as a letter. "Always remember: In the end, the survivor gets to tell the story." ![]() 5/26/2023 0 Comments Eric stanley captive genders![]() ![]() ![]() Eric is currently working on two other projects, the first is a study of nonsovereignty and radical hospitality through the ephemera of trans/queer insurgents organizing underground in the 1970s and 1980s.

Especially those serious enough to kill for. But the parallels end when Julie realizes some family secrets are best kept buried deep. On the surface the situation is eerily familiar. Julie finds herself drawn into the case against her better judgment, and discovers not only the ugly reality of the young girl s tragic life and brutal death, but ties to her and Kevin s past that she is increasingly reluctant to revisit. Then she learns Kevin has been hired, mysteriously, to find out where the murdered girl spent her last few days. ![]() When the body of a sixteen year old white girl is discovered in nearby Rapid Creek, Julie believes this victim will receive the attention others were denied.

But his reward eludes him- he gets caught, and the result is death by guard dog. ![]() Wilbur tracks down an original edition of the Necronomicon and breaks into a library to steal it. And above all, there's the mysterious presence in the farmhouse, unseen but horrifying, which seems to be growing.

KUER Leslie Goldtooth (L) and Nate Lee (R) enjoyed a cup of Navajo tea along with the blue corn mush. Ramirez said they have raised $150,000 and delivered over 600 bags of food and cleaning supplies since March.Īfter filling 30 bags with corn for the elders, Ramirez ducked into a small kitchen next to the courtyard to help prepare blue corn mush for the other volunteers and talk about the group’s beginning. Eighteen months later, the non-profit has turned its efforts toward keeping Native elders safe during COVID-19, as well as added resources for Native residents of Grand and San Juan counties.
