Don't get me wrong, I LOVE Calvin and Hobbes, but when I have my own little Calvin at home, I realize there's a reason Calvin is so often our INNER voice. He is in the process of learning (I hope) that being mean is not the same thing as being funny, but it's hard when so many examples say otherwise. Oh my goodness, he wants so much to be funny, and an unfortunate side effect of tweendom is that a lot of his jokes tend to be tinged with meanness or disrespect. One of my son's driving influences is his overwhelming desire to be funny, just like his dad. I know tweens are at the mercy of their developing brains, and that this is a crucial time, I know it, I know it, I know it.Īnd I know it's my responsibility to get my kids through it. I know the tween brain's development is responsible for the narcissism, the rudeness, the defiance, the DAWDLING. It's full on tween in this house right now, and sometimes I spend a lot of my day wanting to cry. Your purchase helps support NPR programming.

Ishmael daniel quinn review5/29/2023 He idealizes a tribal form of education, where everyone learns from the community what they need to survive. 2) Because kids are not working, they have access to their parents' funds (a lot more than they would probably have if they were on their own) and thus can spend lots of money on teen-marketed stuff. 1) It keeps people out of the work force until they are at least eighteen, solving the problems that would result from massive unemployment that would ensue if they were in it. Quinn's argument is that schooling in modern society is not about education, but actually entirely about helping business out in two ways. The gorilla, Ishmael, is really just a mouthpiece for Daniel Quinn's views, and the girl (Julie) does little more than say "Uh-huh" to Ishmael's two-chapter-long parables about life on alien planets. This is supposedly a novel about a young girl learning about human culture from a telepathic gorilla, but it barely qualifies as a novel.

Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand5/28/2023 Alan Greenspan was a member of Rand's inner circle, and opposed regulation of financial markets because he believed her dictum that the greed of businessmen was always the public's best protection. Together, they battle against evil government bureaucrats and parasitic socialists to hold civilization together, while all the while powerful industrialists are mysteriously disappearing, leaving behind only the cryptic phrase "Who is John Galt?"Ītlas Shrugged is a work of fiction, but as far as many prominent conservatives are concerned, it's sacred scripture. Rand's protagonists are Dagny Taggart, heir to a transcontinental railroad empire, and Hank Rearden, the head of a steel company who's invented a revolutionary new alloy which he's modestly named Rearden Metal. If you're not familiar with the novel, it depicts a world where corporate CEOs and one-percenters are the selfless heroes upon which our society depends, and basically everyone else - journalists, legislators, government employees, the poor - are the villains trying to drag the rich down out of spite, when we should be kissing their rings in gratitude that they allow us to exist. Over the past year, I've been reading and reviewing Ayn Rand's massive paean to capitalism, Atlas Shrugged.

Never stay gone tal bauer5/28/2023 When the Rangers get the call about six bodies being pulled out of a mass grave in West Texas, the governor sends Dakota to run the investigation. But falling for Dakota spun Shane's world upside down, and for years, Shane has had nothing but the memories of all that he lost: Dakota's gentle touch, and the sweetness of his lips, and the star-strewn nights they spent wrapped in each other's arms. There had been a plan, ever since he was knee-high to his father. Shane's life was supposed to be different. Loving you is the only time I feel alive. Sure, he's a Texas Ranger, but that's not how he wanted to live his life. Even now, Dakota is still feeling the agony of losing Shane. But one afternoon shattered their love story, and both Dakota and Shane left Rustler, Texas, with broken hearts. Thirteen years ago, Dakota Jennings thought he'd found his forever when he fell in love with Shane Carson. Six bodies in a single grave, in the same West Texas country where Dakota left everything behind.

Heydrich hhhh5/28/2023 Binet first heard of Operation Anthropoid as a child, and "HHhH" is as much the story of Binet's lifelong obsession with the mission as it is the story of the mission itself. "HHhH" takes as its subject Operation Anthropoid, the daring 1942 military plan that saw two freedom fighters, Jozef Gabcik and Jan Kubis, parachute into Nazi-occupied territory and assassinate Reinhard Heydrich, the Nazi ruler of Bohemia and Moravia. Binet prefers to call his work an "infranovel," and this term hints at the task that the writer has set himself: to lay bare what lies beneath and within the novel form itself. "HHhH," the brilliant, haunting debut novel by the French writer Laurent Binet, is a hodgepodge of genres, blending straightforward historical fiction with postmodern metafiction, archival research and personal memoir.
