Despite this, he soldiers on and works hard in his new role and even makes a friend… one he’s never actually met in person. Whoever this mystery author is, now has him all rattled. But, little does she know, Darien Freeman is not just an actor chosen for this role, he’s also one of the show’s other biggest fans.ĭarien is insanely nervous to be stepping into the shoes of the beloved Carmindor and the blog post he read recently hasn’t helped his anxiety whatsoever. If this isn’t a slap in the face to the fandom, Elle doesn’t know what is! There’s no way that this arrogant celebrity who’s only performed in teen dramas can do her favorite character justice and she makes her thoughts on the matter clear in a scathing (and now viral) blog post. Much to her displeasure, however, it has been announced that the actor to play the one and only Carmindor, is the well-known teenage heartthrob, Darien Freeman. With that, it’s pretty easy to guess how excited she was when she heard that they were doing a reboot of the series with an all-new actor to play the famous character, Carmindor. Ever since her late father introduced it to her as a child, she’s lived and breathed within the fandom and has even started her own blog surrounding it, much like how her father started the Excelsicon event surrounding Starfield. She’s OBSESSED with a popular sci-fi show known as Starfield. Well… “geek” is a bit of an understatement.

The Mariner gives no explanation to the Wedding Guest as to why he killed the bird because he has none. The murder was committed on a whim, with no forethought about the act or the repercussions. The bird was of no danger to the Mariner or the men on the ship, and in fact, was a spiritual guide to safeguard the crew on their excursion. The voyage now becomes a journey of learning important lessons in accountability, acceptance, forgiveness, and repentance.Īfter the Mariner kills the Albatross, it is hung around his neck so he can understand the seriousness of his act, but he is incapable of realizing the full implications at this time. He must also learn to abandon his negative views and openly accept all of Gods’ creatures. The Mariner faces an inner struggle over the crime he has committed, and must understand his actions and perform his penance. Samuel Taylor Coleridge’s “The Rime of the Ancient Mariner” is about a man on a voyage by ship, who in one impulsive and heinous act, changes the course of his life – and death. While Clara retreats to the cinders of the family hearth, burning all memories of her past, Iris seeks out the shadowy secrets of her new household-and the treacherous truth of her former life. Iris's path quickly becomes intertwined with that of Clara, the mysterious and unnaturally beautiful girl destined to become her sister. and what curses accompanied Cinderella's exquisite looks? Set against the rich backdrop of seventeenth-century Holland, Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister tells the story of Iris, an unlikely heroine who finds herself swept from the lowly streets of Haarlem to a strange world of wealth, artifice, and ambition. But what of her stepsisters, the homely pair exiled into ignominy by the fame of their lovely sibling? What fate befell those untouched by beauty. We all have heard the story of Cinderella, the beautiful child cast out to slave among the ashes. From Gregory Maguire, the acclaimed author of Wicked, comes his much-anticipated second novel, a brilliant and provocative retelling of the timeless Cinderella tale. But what Nana Kwame Adjei-Brenyah does is give voice and emotion to every single human in this story.Īdjei-Brenyah is a phenomenal writer. There’s an enormous cast of characters, and it would be easy for an author to narrow the scope to just one or two and leave the rest as one-dimensional allies or opponents. Thurwar has done what almost no other prisoner has been able to do in the time the CAPE program has been running: she’s survived nearly three years, and if she survives her next few matches, she’ll be freed. Complete with announcers, betting, and live spectators, the CAPE program has been a commercial success since it was conceived, and at the top of the ladder are Loretta Thurwar and Hamara ‘Hurricane Staxxx’ Stacker – partners and lovers on the same Chain. This is Chain-Gang All-Stars: a wildly popular televised ‘sport’ and the crown jewel in the Criminal Action Penal Entertainment (CAPE) program. In a near-future United States, the incarcerated people in the private prison system fight each other to the death in a bid to win their freedom. The demons thought vanquished are stirring again, and a warlord with blood-soaked ambition turns a journey of compassion into a fight for survival. Accompanying him is sha-Anhuset, the Kai woman he admires and desires most - a woman barely tolerant of him.ĭevoted to her regent, Anhuset reluctantly agrees to act as a Kai ambassador on the trip, even though the bold margrave known as the Beladine Stallion gets under her skin like no other, and Anhuset fears he'll worm his way into her armored heart as well.īut guilt and unwelcome attraction are the least of their problems. Plagued by guilt and nightmares, Serovek Pangion sets out to deliver the soulless body of the monk Megiddo to the heretical Jeden Order for safekeeping. The demonic horde that threatened to devour the world has been defeated, but at great cost.

The characters voice and train of thought frequently made me smile. This Original Text Edition faithfully follows the wording of the first edition. Gribben also supplies a helpful guide to Twain’s satirical targets. Editor Alan Gribben explains the historical and literary context of Twain’s novel and vigorously defends it against the many critics who fault its language, relationships, and conclusion. Though comical in places, ultimately the book warns about the price of immoral social conformity. Jim and Huck’s days and nights on a raft floating down the Mississippi River form one of the most evocative stories of interracial bonding ever written, and the bizarre characters they encounter in their journey are memorably sketched. The son of a cruel town drunkard, Huck Finn vividly describes his friendship with Tom Sawyer, his resolve to run away from his abusive father, and his decision to join a runaway slave named Jim in a search for freedom. Perennially listed among the classics of American literature, Mark Twain’s Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (1885) broke new ground by allowing a teenage boy to narrate his own story. And, this might seem totally crazy to you if you’re not super into Shakespeare, even the bumbling Cousin Greg is like something right out of “Hamlet,” or “Macbeth,” or one of the other ones. I’m talking about not only the brothers (although they alone would be enough to call the Bard to mind) but also the sister. When you take a close look at the characters from “Succession,” it’s almost like-are these characters from “Succession,” or are they from one of the great plays by the legendary playwright William Shakespeare? I mean, come on! I don’t mean to sound pretentious, but have you noticed that “Succession” is like Shakespeare? Well, if you haven’t, you should thank your fucking cocksucking lucky dipshit stars (sorry, too much “Succession” LOL) because once you start to notice it, boy, oh, boy, it’s all you can notice!įirst of all, the characters. Pornography” and “The Politics of Food”-to the deeply personal-“Ruth’s Song,” a moving tribute to her mentally ill mother-to sharp satire like “If Men Could Menstruate.” One of the first to address topics such as female genital mutilation and transgenderism, Steinem has truly earned the right to be called a feminist pioneer, and this volume is both a testament to her legacy in the fight for equality and an entertaining, thought-provoking journey through the lives of modern women. Steinem understands that the political is always personal, and vice versa, and as such her writings range from the polemical-“Erotica vs. In addition to “I Was a Playboy Bunny,” the essays in this collection challenge the practices and preconceptions that marginalize, exclude, exploit, and victimize women. But the last person I would want to go down in history as is Hugh Hefner.” As Steinem observed, “I think Hefner himself wants to go down in history as a person of sophistication and glamour. Spanning two decades-from the early sixties to the early eighties-the pieces in Gloria Steinem’s diverse, stimulating, and often prescient first collection dare to ask how our world might change for the better if we each behaved “as if everyone mattered.”Īn early assignment as a “girl reporter,” going undercover as a Bunny in Hugh Hefner’s Playboy Club, becomes an eye-opening exposé of appalling work conditions and sexual harassment. This New York Times bestseller from the legendary feminist featured in the film The Two Glorias is as relevant today as when it was first published. |
