But when Mae gasps awake…she’s on an airplane bound for Utah, where she begins the same holiday all over again. The next thing she knows, tires screech and metal collides, everything goes black. Mentally melting down as she drives away from the cabin for the final time, Mae throws out what she thinks is a simple plea to the universe: Please. She’s living with her parents, hates her going-nowhere job, and has just made a romantic error of epic proportions.īut perhaps worst of all, this is the last Christmas Mae will be at her favorite place in the world-the snowy Utah cabin where she and her family have spent every holiday since she was born, along with two other beloved families. It’s the most wonderful time of the year…but not for Maelyn Jones. One Christmas wish, two brothers, and a lifetime of hope are on the line for hapless Maelyn Jones in In a Holidaze, the quintessential holiday romantic novel by Christina Lauren, the New York Times bestselling author of The Unhoneymooners. Chapter 2 provides a background of the relevant literature, ad Chapter 3 analyzes data within the text through sociolinguistic methodology, and Chapter 4 offers a discussion of the analysis, in addition to a conclusion. Chapter 1 introduces the rationale behind the current project. The current thesis is composed of four chapters. The current research project asks two primary questions: 1) How is language variation is Caucasia (Senna, 1998) motivated by the race of both speaker and the audience and 2) How do mixed race and self-defining monoracial audiences evaluate language variation in Caucasia (Senna, 1998)? The overarching research objective is the exploration of mixed race identity. The current research project is one such study, examining character dialogue of self-defining monoracial and black-white mixed race interlocutors in Danzy Senna’s contemporary interracial novel, Caucasia. To date, there are few, if any, studies which apply sociolinguistic theories of language variation to discourse in interracial literature. The current study seeks to bridge a connection between sociolinguistics and literature. Additionally, previous studies examining mixed race identity in interracial literature use traditional literary or historical methodologies. Previous studies examining sociolinguistic language variation, race, and identity focus primarily on self-defining monoracial audiences. Language variation, audience design, and racial identity: an analysis of discourse in Danzy Senna’s “Caucasia” When Sunny Langstein decides to pack up Florida life and move in with her boyfriend inManhattan, her big sister isn’t thrilled. Now that they’re forced to take a long, hard look at themselves, Allie, Jodine and Emma’s lives and budding friendship are about to change, in ways they never imagined. Tactics: sell tickets to their swanky soir es and How to Pick Up Women seminars…īut their grand scheme sweeps away any last shreds of privacy with startling consequences. Bonding? Well, at least they’re talking to each other! Amazingly, they agree on a plan: shamelessly exploit their combined expertise on the male species for hard cash. When one small, slightly accidental fire leads to one big repair bill, all efforts to avoid each other are finally abandoned: They’ve got to raise money…įast ‘Insurance? You mean you have to pay for that?’. Allison can’t wait for Jodine and Emma to move in to her apartment until she realizes having roommates means living in a Fishbowl: You are never alone. Smart, witty and a little bit bit*chy, Fishbowl lets you press your face against the glass, see into the lives of three unique roommates and laugh your head off. WOW! The last few scenes dangle Alyssa's next adventure with shockers enough that I found my jaw needing a bit of assistance in coming off the floor. "I really enjoyed the first book of this series, but Unhinged cranks the Wonderland experience up to 11. Could she leave Jeb and her parents behind again, for the sake of a man she knows has manipulated her before? Will her mother and Jeb trust her to do what's right? Readers will swoon over the satisfying return to Howard's bold, sensual reimagining of Carroll's classic. And it would be much simpler if the mysterious Morpheus didn't show up for school one day to tempt her with another dangerous quest in the dark, challenging Wonderland-where she (partly) belongs. That would be easier without her mother, freshly released from an asylum, acting overly protective and suspicious. Now all she has to do is graduate high school. She saved the life of Jeb, the boy she loves, and escaped the machinations of the disturbingly appealing Morpheus. She was crowned Queen of the Red Court and faced the bandersnatch. Alyssa Gardner has been down the rabbit hole. Wonderland causes real-world trouble for a teenage descendant of Alice in this romantic, dark fantasy sequel by the bestselling author of Splintered. Theo Faber, the psychiatrist, is given the chance to work with her at his psychiatric unit in North London, and as he continues to provide her with treatment, he discovers that she might not have been the one to commit murder on that night.Īs I read the novel, it slowly became clearer that there was something we as readers were missing, something that only Alicia and Theo knew, but the audience wasn’t allowed to know this secret just yet. The story focuses around a criminal psychiatrist and his favorite patient, Alicia Berenson, who shot her husband in the face five times before becoming mute. “The Silent Patient” is full of twists and turns topped with an unexpected ending, the strong imagery and vocabulary painting exactly what the author wanted the reader to see. With just the first sentence, #1 New York Times bestseller Alex Michaelides hooks in his readers with his mesmeric psychological-thriller novel, and shows promise of a wild ride throughout his book.

However, it remains a magical 2nd American edition of this iconic Jules Verne story, with 15 full-page illustrations by Riou, and a beautiful title page decorated with a vignette for an additional illustration. The lesser quality of the book can be seen in the offsetting of the sheets, broken type, limited number of illustrations, cloth binding, and more lax attention to detail. This edition was intended as a cheaper of version of Verne s second book, published in order to compete with the 1873 1st American edition by Scribner Armstrong.

Group: The Confessions of Jean-Jacques Rousseau SectionĠ1 - Vol. The two opening volumes of the Confessions, presented in this inevitably censored edition of 1903, deal with the author’s childhood and callow adolescence. Others may recall the compulsive self-searching of the narrator of Proust’s A la recherche du temps perdu, who also rather dwelt on the co-existence in the individual of the vile and the virtuous. Some readers may be repelled by his tendency to revel in embarrassing accounts of humiliation and fiasco, as if he were striving too hard to achieve an ultimate nakedness, a nakedness of the soul perhaps. Rousseau’s lengthy and sometimes anguished dossier on the Self is one of the most remarkable and courageous works of introspection ever undertaken. “Thus I have acted these were my thoughts such was I.” Download cover art Download CD case insert Confessions, volumes 1 and 2 |
