![]() ![]() That would be a shame - with a touch of gruesome and edgy violence, and that last action-packed quarter of the book, along with ghosts, werewolves, and magic, boys will find just as much to like here as girls. The cover picture, showing a hot girl in a low-cut dress holding a ruby pendant, may convince some boys that this book is not for them. By the end, though, Chloe and her friends have just barely begun on their journey to understand themselves and their world, which is quite different than what they have been brought up to believe. Before that, the author gradually builds up Chloe's (and the readers) understanding of what is happening to her and around her, though the reader will get there long before Chloe does. This is no slam-bang action-adventure, though it does get pretty exciting in the last quarter. ![]() ![]() Author Kelley Armstrong takes her time to get this story moving. ![]()

A social contract between citizens and rulers may be established via discussion about the nature of law, the right to survival, and other related topics in Hobbes’s writing through his political philosophy, it is arguable that a social contract is a necessity for the functioning of the society. In Leviathan Parts I and II, Thomas Hobbes discusses his beliefs on the nature of society and man, including his ideas on the necessity of a powerful central government to uphold social order and shield citizens from armed conflict. Hobbes’ Leviathan contends that laying out a district best accomplishes common harmony and social solidarity through a common agreement in which people join as one in a sovereign body while simultaneously giving up a portion of their regular privileges in return for security. ![]() The book concerns the design of society and authentic government and is viewed as one of the earliest and most persuasive instances of the common agreement hypothesis. ![]() Leviathan is a book composed by the English savant Thomas Hobbes in 1651. ![]() ![]() ![]() She reports on the pathogens following in cholera's footsteps, from the MRSA bacterium that besieges her own family to the never-before-seen killers emerging from China's wet markets, the surgical wards of New Delhi, the slums of Port-au-Prince, and the suburban backyards of the East Coast.īy delving into the convoluted science, strange politics, and checkered history of one of the world's deadliest diseases, Pandemic reveals what the next epidemic might look like-and what we can do to prevent it. ![]() ![]() To reveal how that might happen, Sonia Shah tracks each stage of cholera's dramatic journey from harmless microbe to world-changing pandemic, from its 1817 emergence in the South Asian hinterlands to its rapid dispersal across the nineteenth-century world and its latest beachhead in Haiti. To reveal how a new pandemic might develop, Sonia Shah tracks each stage of cholera’s dramatic journey, from its emergence in the South Asian hinterlands as a harmless microbe to its rapid dispersal across the nineteenth-century world, all the way to its latest beachhead in Haiti. More than three hundred infectious diseases have emerged or reemerged in new territory during the past fifty years, and 90 percent of epidemiologists expect that one of them will cause a disruptive, deadly pandemic sometime in the next two generations. ![]() Interweaving history, original reportage, and personal narrative, Pandemic explores the origin of epidemics, drawing parallels between the story of cholera-one of history's most disruptive and deadly pathogens-and the new pathogens that stalk humankind today, from Ebola and avian influenza to drug-resistant superbugs.

These are the fundamental ideas that the play is based upon, and also the elements which make The Crucible hugely relevant in our society today. These concepts will be fully unpacked later, but it is important to keep these key notions of hysteria, accusation and blind faith in mind as you study the text. Thus, given the historical context of the time, Miller uses The Crucible as an allegorical warning for the audience against the dangers of McCarthyism in 1950s America. ![]() This resulted in a widespread fear of Communist influences, and a political hunt similar to the Salem witch trials began, as civilians attempted to escape their own charges by accusing other innocent individuals of treason. This was a political movement in which Senator Joseph McCarthy attempted to control the spread of Communism by placing any Communist sympathisers on a blacklist. However, the play was written during another type of witch hunt: McCarthyism in 1950s America. Although partially fictionalised, it depicts the very real consequences of false accusations based on blind religious faith, as Miller displays the dangers of such baseless rumours. ![]() ![]() The Crucible, Arthur Miller’s 1953 realist play, is based on the historical events of the 1692 Salem witch hunts. ![]() ![]() ![]() The second is that the Mafia is strong arming Harry - to the point of almost beating him to death and murdering one one of his employees - into paying them so much to leave his business alone, that he’ll go bankrupt within a year, and his father’s business, which he’d promised to carry on, will go under. The first fly in the ointment is that Catherine is already engaged, and when Harry and Catherine’s love breaks up the engagement, her fiancé sets out to ruin Catherine’s career. In it, Helprin ( A Winter’s Tale and A Soldier of the Great War, among others) tells the story of two New Yorkers who fall in love at first sight in 1947, shortly after World War II: Harry Copeland - an ex-soldier, returning to run his deceased father’s leather company, and Catherine Hale - an enormously talented and beautiful Broadway singer, who comes from old money. The same can be said for this novel as a whole.

Despite some of its flaws, I hope you read this and fall in love with it as I have! Goodreads Synopsis Basically, readers seem to either love it or don’t. The magic system is weak, and there is definitely a Special Snowflake trope that might drive you crazy. ![]() People are pretty divisive over this book. I still feel all the fluttery excited feels each time I start a reread of this. So without further ado, here is my original review I had posted to Goodreads. ![]() It’s full of creepy forest atmosphere, political intrigue, and the most heart-pounding romance (even though the romance is only about 10% of this book). I absolutely fell in love with this book and have reread it many times. If you didn’t know, Uprooted is my favorite book ever. I can’t believe I didn’t post this review here sooner. ![]() Since I launched my blog after I read this book, I’ve been backdating past reviews I posted to Goodreads. ![]() |
