![]() ![]() It was released on Octoto iTunes and Novemto DVD/VOD platforms. ![]() The film was originally scheduled for a theatrical release on Septembut Millennium Films scrapped the plans. To locate an equivalent for the novel’s polyphonal scheme, Franco employed the use of narrative expressed through dialogue and voice overs. Faulkner told the story in a chorus of voices: 15 narrators in the 59 chapters. Franco saw this as a challenge and chose to depict the many voices through choices of styling, through camera edits. The novel As I Lay Dying was described as a story impossible to be transformed into a film due to the multi-narrative voices within it. James Franco decided to write a screenplay of the novel with a fellow Yale graduate student Matt Rager. ![]() The story is based on the loss of a mother and the struggles the family endure by going the distance to her burial ground in her home town. The film was screened in the Un Certain Regard Section at the 2013 Cannes Film Festival. As I Lay Dying is a 2013 American drama film directed and co-written by and starring James Franco, based on William Faulkner's 1930 novel of the same name. ![]()

![]() ![]() ![]() Dewey is the pivot he even became a bit of a national celebrity, and the New York Times ran his obit. ![]() In an easeful voice and with an eye for detail, she delineates Spencer: its economic swings, the lay of the land, the Prairie Deco downtown. Named Dewey (after the decimal system), the kitten became the library mascot and a synecdoche: "He never lost his trust, no matter what the circumstances, or his appreciation for life.He was confident." Myron doesn't overplay this metaphor, but works it subtly as she depicts the town's fortunes reviving and shows Dewey playing his role in that revival with composure, social skills, patience and a measure of mischief. She was in crisis too and neatly tucks her own recovery into the larger story of the town's gradual rejuvenation. Local librarian Myron paints a town in crisis: economically, socially and in terms of the human spirit. The place was the public library of Spencer, Iowa, where the corn grows nine feet high and the earth is so fertile "you would swear the ground is about to push up and tip the sky right out of the picture." But this was in the 1980s, when the farm crisis was in full tilt lenders had foreclosed on 50 percent of the family farms in northwest Iowa by the end of the decade. The feline came in through the book drop on a bone-crackingly cold winter's night. An abandoned kitten serves as balm, comic relief and social director to a hard-pressed Midwestern town. ![]() ![]() ![]() As skateboarding grew in popularity, Christian became one of the kings. At the time I met Christian, there were only 17 pros in the world of skateboarding. He got to travel the world, and every weekend he was in a new town skating. Hosoi lived in the heyday of the ’70s and into the ’80s and he carried the ’70s torch through to the next generation. He got sponsored by Dogtown and then moved on to Powell trying to find his way. He was concrete surfing at Marina early on. They set the dream in his eye of what the good life was about, surfing, skating and hanging with your friends. Those were the influences Christian had when he was 10 years old. He was around with guys like Jay Adams and Shogo Kubo when they were skating Marina Skatepark back in the day and they were the kings of skateboarding. ![]() Through him, you can see the history of skateboarding. JUICE MAGAZINE 13 YEAR ANNIVERSARY SPECIAL:Ĭhristian Hosoi is skateboarding. ![]() ![]() Equality is needed around the world, otherwise one gender becomes little more than property to be traded and owned. Although there are losses along the way, Queen of Ruin shows how empowering women will build up a society. Queen of Ruin picks up on this storyline and blows it up as the women learn their own abilities in fighting back. ![]() I loved Grace and Fury because it showed such amazing growth from its characters and was a scary look at what happens when women are silenced and erased in a society. ![]() I was intrigued by the first book and ended up loving the second! ![]() Picking up seconds after Grace and Fury ended, Queen of Ruin dives back into the dual perspectives of sisters Serina and Nomi as they struggle to find their place (and fight for their lives) in a society where women are little more than property. We are back on Mount Ruin and it is not looking good. ![]() ![]() I loved teaching writing, and I had some fun routines and lessons and philosophies that are fun for me to write-up daily, knowing that people out there are using them. I try to make these write-ups sound fresh, not like the lesson write-ups you’d leave a sub.
![]() ![]() When Amelia invents the prototype for women’s trousers, she pronounces her own work “Brilliant!” The book’s design combines expressive script with curving letters and lively scenes of determined women. Some of their skirts were literal cages, others so tight they were suffocating. McLaren holds up to amused readers the ludicrous dresses which women were forced to wear, at least women whose social class spared them from grueling, unsafe, or tedious labor. A two-page spread with pictures that convey her graceful and purposive movement shows Bloomer starting her own newspaper, hiring women, and focusing on their stories. She was an activist, shown in her bright blue dress and she demonstrated for long-denied suffrage. ![]() ![]() A dramatic record of how race is still a key predictor of whether or not some young Americans will have a chance at a 'pursuit of happiness. The level of detail in this book and Goffmans ability to understand her subjects. Goffman is now an Assistant Professor of Sociology at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and a vocal advocate for change in America. On the Run documents a world of predation and law-of-the-jungle mores, riven with violence and betrayal. On the Run as its meant to be heard, narrated by Robin Miles. In it, Goffman weaves groundbreaking research into a narrative amplifying neglected and often-ignored voices into a stirring, personal indictment of the social, economic and political forces that unwittingly conspire to push entire communities to the margins of society. On the Run: Fugitive Life in an American City By Alice Goffman University of Chicago Press. Goffman spent six years in the community, the work transforming into her dissertation at Princeton and then into the book, On the Run. ![]() She lived side-by-side with a group of young men in one of the US’s most distressed communities, experiencing a troubling and rarely discussed side of urban policing - the beatings, late night raids and body searches that systematically pit young men against authority. ![]() ![]() As an undergraduate studying sociology at the University of Pennsylvania, Alice Goffman was inspired to write her senior thesis about the lives of the young people living in the historic African-American neighborhood that surrounded the school. ![]() ![]() 100 Police Procedurals Every Crime Addict Must Read.Summer Reads - Feast Your Eyes on LoveReading's Ever-Growing List of Summer Reading Recommendations.Debut God’s Children Are Little Broken Things by Arinze Ifeakandu takes the 2023 Dylan Thomas Prize.20 Exceptional Books by Transgender and Non-Binary Writers – Novels and Non-Fiction That’ll Enthral You, Entertain You, Move You and Mend You.The Best Food & Drink Books Announced At Fortnum & Mason Food and Drink Awards 2023.2023 CWA Dagger Shortlists Revealed - CWA Chair Maxim Jakubowski Talks to Liz Robinson About Them.60 spectacular LGBTQIA+ books to read this Pride Month and every month.May Bookshop Chat - Books With Buzz May 2023. ![]()

Explore angelique regs board 'young and beautiful-velvetoscar (for theo)' on Pinterest. ![]() Without even a glance in their direction, the stranger begins unfurling the creamy satin scarf from around his neck, bejeweled fingers slowly picking at the intricate weave.Įyes set on the task at hand, the boy says in a long, musically monotonous drawl: Everyone immediately pays attention to the boy, apparently delighted to see him.Īnd Louis can tell that this boy’s aware of it, can see it in the slow blink of his eyes and the focused calm of his movements, but he barely acknowledges the room. ![]() The boys fall into a surprised silence, every pair of eyes fixing on the newcomer, including Zayn’s, as the entire room lights up. ![]() Louis really shouldn’t be surprised at this rate since this school is seemingly (miraculously) inhabited only by those whom the gods love. It’s just as they’ve all taken one collective gulp of wine, when the door suddenly opens once more. ![]() ![]() Now I’m standing here, heart pounding, stripped down to a pair of thin black panties in front of these three assholes. “Mmhmm,” Carter murmurs, savoring the violation as he unbuttons the rest of my skirt, then lets the fabric fall to the floor. “I wasn’t manipulatin’ anyone,” I say, the accusation making me uncomfortable. I just watched you do it to him, and I’m a fast learner it won’t work on me.” “Carter, please don’t.”Ĭlicking at me in disapproval, Carter says, “Now, now, don’t try manipulating me, princess. ![]() “Please,” I say, trying to shove his hand away. My breath hitches as Carter’s amused brown eyes lock on mine, then he slowly reaches down between our bodies and unbuttons the top button of my corduroy wrap skirt. ![]() “Didn’t you hear? Parsons said I can do whatever I want to you.” “No,” he replies calmly, then nods at Jake. ![]() “Get your hands off me, Carter,” I demand, my voice breaking with desperation. ![]() “Mm, what a thoughtful present,” Carter remarks. Now I shove against his muscular chest, struggling to get away, but he locks his left arm around my waist and keeps me trapped against him as he looks me over. I tried to stop myself, but momentum propelled me right into him. Terror claws at my insides as Carter catches me in his arms. ![]() |
