Bee bim bop by linda sue park5/24/2023 I would emphasize from this book the rhythmicity of the words, the importance of preserving the culture, the intentionality of giving help at home. Bee-Bim-Bop book will have a positive reception by children because it has a fun title, allows them to participate, and children can identify with the girl who wants to help in the preparation of food. Additionally, the background drawing is related to elements known to the child such as the supermarket, the kitchen or the dining room. The illustrations are detailed and colorful. Also,this book supports and perpetuates the Korean culture through the elaboration of its typical dish. This is a book that allows the reinforcement of words that rhyme. Taking into account the types of books, this can be described as an interactive book since children can participate in the repetition of sentences like "Hungry, hungry, hungry for more Bee-Bim-Bop". The story is about a girl who tells with great joy the necessary ingredients and the preparation of a traditional Korean dish called Bee-Bim Bop. I like this book because it has the power to invite the child to participate in reading through rhythmic words.

Artemis by Andy Weir5/24/2023 The trouble is, engineering the perfect crime is just the start of Jazz’s problems. But Jazz has never run into a challenge her intellect can’t handle, and she figures she’s got the ‘swagger’ part down. And it calls for a particular combination of cunning, technical skills, and large explosions-not to mention sheer brazen swagger. Sure, it requires her to graduate from small-time smuggler to full-on criminal mastermind. So when a chance at a huge score finally comes her way, Jazz can’t say no. Rich enough to pay off a debt she’s owed for a long time. Just rich enough to move out of her coffin-sized apartment and eat something better than flavored algae. She just wanted to get rich. Not crazy, eccentric-billionaire rich, like many of the visitors to her hometown of Artemis, humanity’s first and only lunar colony. Jasmine Bashara never signed up to be a hero. The Fold by Peter Clines5/24/2023 Though there is a little science involved, it is explained in a way that an everyday person can understand. This part I had a harder time following as I read then the first 2/3 as it relies on translating the words into action scenes in your head, so I probably missed some details and can only hope someone DOES turn this into a movie. Instead, the surprise for me is that the last 1/3 of the book turns into more of an action thriller. The clues are sprinkled in ways that you will likely put it together around the same time he does, and thankfully does not wait until the end with some twist ending. This is likely what will keep you turning the pages and make it hard to put this book down- you will get caught up wanting to know the answer as well. The story admirably carries that unexplained feeling through 2/3 of the book (about 200 pages) as you try to understand what is going on and endeavor to find the explanation of why something is not right along with the protagonist. The Fold, by Peter Clines, does a good job immediately from the first chapter of plunking you immediately into the feeling of something is off and not right. Cascadia by H.W.

Edmund Campion by Evelyn Waugh5/24/2023 From a very early age, young Campion showed exceptional intelligence, and an organization of merchants in the city arranged for him to attend a grammar school and to study at Christ Church Hospital. His father, also named Edmund, was a bookseller. The church and is believed to be capable of interceding with God to protect people on earth.) Early life and educationĮdmund Campion was born in London, on January 25, 1540, into a Catholic merchant family. "My charge is, of free cost to preach the Gospel, to minister the Sacraments, to instruct the simple, to reforme sinners, to confute errors-in brief, to crie alarme spiritual against foul vice and proud ignorance." (A saint is a deceased person who, due to his or her exceptionally good behavior during life, receives the official blessing of Recognizing him as a martyr, or someone who died for his faith, the Catholic Church made him a saint in 1970. He was imprisoned and tortured before being put to death in 1581. After publishing a pamphlet denouncing the Anglican Church, Campion was arrested as a traitor. He fled England and became a Jesuit priest, later returning to England to minister to Catholics there who were strictly forbidden to practice their religion. Edmund Campion, a brilliant scholar at Oxford University, abandoned the chance to have a powerful career as an Anglican priest under the protection of Elizabeth I (1533–1603 see entry) because he believed in the supremacy of the Roman Catholic Church.

El complot mongol by Rafael Bernal5/24/2023 It’s a choral film, meaning that it tells three separate stories that intertwine during a car crash. Alejandro González IñárrituĪmores Perros is Alejandro González Iñárritu’s fantastic 2000 debut. Here are some of the most memorable of them:Īmores Perros (2000) – Dir. The film, however, joins a pretty solid list of films in which Mexico City is also character. For all of its beauty, Roma is a film that induces nostalgia for a now long lost city, as well as an appreciation of the city’s rapidly changing landscape. It features older buildings, lifestyles, movies that were played then, old cars, an facades from yesteryear. However, you could also say Roma is a homage to 1970 Mexico City, since it recreates many of the city’s landscape with the help of CGI. “Roma” may be Spanish for Rome, but the name of the film is actually a reference to none other than Mexico’s City most vibrant neighborhood, where Cuarón grew up and where much of the film takes places. Roma (2018), Alfonso Cuarón’s latest masterpiece, is a homage to much of his childhood and the women who raised him as well as the city where he grew up.

The warrior queen emily r king5/23/2023 Deven clings to me, dreading the same burden of time. Sunrise will soon reach the golden domes of the palace and sleepy Vanhi. “For you,” Deven says, his muscles relaxing around me. Promise me you’ll keep coming.” I could not bear for him to disappear. I haven’t seen anyone, but I’ve felt them.” “You cannot feel what I feel.” His tormented gaze climbs to mine. I sit on his lap and pull his wooden arms around me. His inner light is dimming, like the reflection of the moon compared to the glory of the sun. All day long I pray for the gods to free Deven. “We have to accept our fate.”Īt my lowest moments, I have almost succumbed to the same despondency. He must fill up, but his appetite has been decreasing. “You cannot be certain.” Deven sets the unfinished plate aside. We’ll find something soon.” None of us know whether our research will lead to a solution, yet I have faith. Ashwin and I are still searching every book in the city. Nor can I enter the labyrinth of shadows with him.ĭeven does not need to hear about my mundane days. I have tried to send rations and a lantern, but they disappear once he leaves. He does not have access to food or water in the under realm. He wipes his hands clean on the napery and eats the aromatic rice. I dare not shut my eyes or I will lose my ability to think. “Yes.” He nuzzles the tender spot beneath my chin. He is thinner and sallower than even yesterday. I assume he does not want them to see him this way. He has not asked for his family in many days. White tiger zadie smith5/23/2023 As I saw it, even my strongest feelings and convictions might easily be otherwise, had I been the child of the next family down the hall, or the child of another century, another country, another God. I could never shake the suspicion that everything about me was the consequence of a series of improbable accidents-not least of which was the 400 trillion–to-one accident of my birth. Other people seemed to feel strongly about themselves, to know exactly who they were. Of having a lot of contradictory voices knocking around my head. I’ve always been aware of being an inconsistent personality.
