Paul Bäumer, the book’s narrator, lugs his friend Kat to a field hospital. An equivalent scene appears in the novel. When one of them, Theodor Troske, was wounded by a grenade, Remarque carried the young man a considerable distance on his back, only to find that shrapnel had lodged in Troske’s head, resulting in fatal wounds. Many friends from school served alongside him. Remarque, who came from a lower-middle-class background in the German city of Osnabrück, was attending an academy for Catholic schoolteachers when, in 1916, at the age of eighteen, he was drafted into the army. The agony of destroyed friendship is at the heart of “ All Quiet on the Western Front,” Erich Maria Remarque’s enduring novel about life and death in the trenches. When the incinerated body lying beside you is that of a childhood neighbor or schoolmate, the trauma of loss is intensified. Other combatant nations did this to one degree or another, but Germany had a particular devotion to the strategy, whose psychological underside soon became clear. The assumption was that geographical bonds strengthened solidarity. During the First World War, the German Army followed a practice of localized recruiting, whereby conscripts from a particular town or region were kept together when they were sent to the front.

This week, Michelle joined me to talk about all things mythology, storytelling, and her new novel SUMMER IN THE CITY OF ROSES. Michelle Ruiz Keil is a writer and tarot reader with an eye for the enchanted and a way with animals. I wanted to bring her on and ask her all about writing mythology, magical realism, and modern fairytales. I think it started when I heard her panel on modern fairy tales at the ALA Midwinter conference in Seattle a few years ago. She is someone I wanted to have on the podcast for a long time. Michelle Ruiz Kiel’s modern stories with mythic sensibilities are some of my favorites. She goes on to explore red hair in the ancient world the prejudice manifested against red hair across medieval Europe red hair during the Renaissance as both an indicator of Jewishness during the Inquisition and the height of fashion in Protestant England, under the reign of Henry VIII and Elizabeth I the modern age of art and literature, and the first positive symbols of red hair in children's characters modern medicine and science and the genetic and chemical decoding of red hair and finally, red hair in contemporary culture, from advertising and exploitation to "gingerism" and the new movement against bullying. In The Animals Companion, acclaimed social anthropologist and author of Red: A History of the Redhead, Jacky Colliss Harvey turns her keen eye for cultural. With an obsessive fascination that is as contagious as it is compelling, author Jacky Colliss Harvey (herself a redhead) begins her exploration of red hair in prehistory and traces the redhead gene as it made its way out of Africa with the early human diaspora to its emergence under Northern skies. A book that breaks new ground, dispels myths, and reinforces the special nature of being a redhead, with a look at multiple disciplines, including science, religion, politics, feminism and sexuality, literature, and art. At the same time, her red hair also found her an. She studied English at Cambridge University and art history at the Courtauld Institute, and putting those two together, went on to a career in the museum world as a writer, editor and publisher. Red is a brilliantly told, captivating history of red hair throughout the ages. Jacky Colliss Harvey was born in the wilds of Suffolk, and grew up surrounded by farms and animals.

For decades, Kathie’s disappearance remained a mystery.Then in 2001, Durst, an heir to an empire valued at two billion dollars, was arrested for shoplifting in Pennsylvania. They told police that Kathie lived in terror of Robert, and that she had uncovered incriminating financial evidence about him. Kathie’s friends had reason to implicate her husband. Here, from the first reporter to access Durst’s NYPD files, is the authoritative account of a decades-long criminal odyssey-the very book found in Durst’s own apartment when it was searched by police. When medical student Kathie Durst vanished in 1982, she was married to Robert Durst, son of a New York real estate magnate. RetailThe recent arrest in New Orleans and the HBO documentary The Jinx have put Robert Durst back in the headlines. As she begins digging into the past, she unexpectedly befriends Midnight, a young white boy who is also adrift and looking for connection. Returning home, Ruth discovers the Indiana factory town of her youth is plagued by unemployment, racism, and despair. She had promised her family she’d never look back, but Ruth knows that to move forward, she must make peace with the past. She has never gotten over the baby she gave birth to-and was forced to leave behind-when she was a teenager. He’s eager to start a family, but Ruth is uncertain. In Chicago, Ruth Tuttle, an Ivy-League educated Black engineer, is married to a kind and successful man. It’s 2008, and the inauguration of President Barack Obama ushers in a new kind of hope. OK, so they weren’t exactly living the dream, but the room was still theirs for the night.įabio lived for movie night. Christopher Muse and Avery Torres had grabbed the faded paisley armchairs that everyone jokingly referred to as mezzanine seating near the back of the room, and David Bond lounged on the floor next to Fabio, eating pizza with one hand and plugging a finger-sized hole in the beanbag chair to keep it from shedding its contents all over the food. Her sisters, Irma and Phoebe, were sitting on the floor next to Benjamin in a puddle of blankets and pillows. That profound observation made him the target of multiple groans and several popcorn missiles from Eva Bell, who was draped on the sagging couch next to Celeste of the Stepford Cuckoos. "This is a Christmas movie, Fabio Medina argued as he settled into an ancient, weary beanbag chair that was more bag than beans, cradling a plate of pepperoni and mushroom pizza slices. I thought we were going to watch a Christmas movie, Benjamin Deeds complained as the television lit up the dark common room with the fiery explosion at the top of the Nakatomi building, framing a panicked John McClane leaping to safety. Room and Luca star Jacob Tremblay voices Flounder, while comedian and The Farewell star Awkwafina voices Scuttle, Ariel’s bird friend. Melissa McCarthy plays Ursula, the half-octopus sea witch who tricks Ariel into giving up her voice, and Javier Bardem plays Ariel’s father King Triton.Īriel’s animal friends have big-name actors behind them, too. Jonah Hauer-King, an English actor known for his role in A Dog’s Way Home, plays Ariel’s love interest Prince Eric, though the role almost went to another singer-turned-actor, Harry Styles. Her casting was announced in July of 2019, and there was, sadly but seemingly inevitably, racist backlash to the news. Halle Bailey, an actress and singer who was previously best known for her musical career as one half of Chloe x Halle along with her sister, Chloe Bailey, plays the titular little mermaid.

The second trailer, which is much longer and shows off more of the plot and the film’s other characters, made its debut in March during the Academy Awards. The first teaser trailer (shown above), which is mostly atmospheric shots of the film’s underwater setting followed by the brief reveal of actress Halle Bailey’s Ariel singing a bit of “Part of Your World,” debuted in September of last year. Hopefully, by doing this, meaning should emerge. Do they have a method? Do they “close read?” This time we are going to “sneak up” on the poem by playing with it, asking it questions, interacting with it. Check in with students about how they usually read a poem. Ask them what they know about her poetry, which poems? Introduce the idea that today we are going to work primarily with one poem, not because it is the best poem of hers or completely representative, but because by working in depth with one poem, students might get ideas about how to work in depth with another. General Introduction: (10 min) Ask students what they know about Emily Dickinson. Materials Required: “Hope is a thing with feathers,” markers, pens, pencils, crayons, paper copies of poem with the lines cut up (see directions below).Īrizona Language Arts State Standards Addressed (Reading):Ĭoncept 4: PO 2, PO 3 Concept 6: PO 2, PO4, PO 5 (This close encounter is often referred to as “close reading,” “analysis,” or “explication.”) demonstrate that working with a single poem can be fun to promote interest in Emily Dickinson and in poetry. Learning Objectives: To involve students in a close encounter with at least one of Emily Dickinson’s poems. Grade Level: Middle school to high school Ex: Elementary School Poet-in-Residence 2010 |
