She had never travelled on a train before and, feeling timid and uneasy, wanted to make sure she did everything correctly. Grace stood back a little, watching as mourners approached the window of the booking office to buy their tickets. Here, away from the fogs and filth of London, their dear departed could rest in peace among pines, roses and evergreens. All were waiting for the train which would take them and their loved ones into the countryside, to the great garden of sleep at Brookwood. The few women whose nervous tension allowed them to attend wore heavy veils, their black crêpe gowns unrelieved by any bright jewellery, buttons or fancy trimmings, while the men wore top hats with a mourning band, formal frock coats and black bombazine cravats. The Necropolis Railway ran, just as Mrs Smith the midwife had said, on its own special line from Waterloo to Brookwood Cemetery in the county of Surrey, and it was at the London station, just before eleven o’clock, that the newly bereaved gathered, all dressed in the first stage of deep mourning. Grace, holding on tightly to her precious burden, found the station entrance without much difficulty. Great Britain, now known as Airstrip One, has become a province of the totalitarian superstate Oceania, which is led by Big Brother, a dictatorial leader supported by an intense cult of personality manufactured by the Party's Thought Police. The story takes place in an imagined future in the year 1984, when much of the world is in perpetual war. More broadly, the novel examines the role of truth and facts within societies and the ways in which they can be manipulated. Orwell, a democratic socialist, modelled the authoritarian state in the novel on Stalinist Russia and Nazi Germany. Thematically, it centres on the consequences of totalitarianism, mass surveillance and repressive regimentation of people and behaviours within society. It was published on 8 June 1949 by Secker & Warburg as Orwell's ninth and final book completed in his lifetime.

Aya is a high-caste daimon, who must win to survive Kaleb is a low-caste assassin willing to risk all to succeed. A bloody competition to determine who will rise up to help rule the City draws close to conclusion, with several contenders vying for the last slots. In “The City,” daimons reign supreme, plotting and scheming, and anything can be found in the sinister Carnival of Souls. In “our” world, witches secretly run corporations and spread their influence.

The world-building feels incomplete and not fully thought out, especially when it deals with race. I was eager to rate this 4 stars, but as I kept reading, I found too many issues that dropped it down to 3. Seeing the different yokai that the protagonist has to face throughout the book was fun as well! Really enjoyed the descriptive writing, dark atmosphere, and concept of Reapers, especially with how they can "manipulate" time and all the imagery that comes with using those powers. Secrets and cockroaches-that’s what will be left at the end of it all. That is correct-while it’s amazing to bring fun things back, his nightmarish creatures can also be brought back to the real world-and they want nothing more than to destroy Ronan. More than once his nightmares made me look around the dark room and stare pointedly at shadows in the corner. It was a fascinating way to end book one and it continued into book two with maximum force. Yes, Ronan can quite literally bring things back from his dreams. At the end of book one we discovered that our beloved Chainsaw, the raven, came from Ronan’s dreams. This book focused a little more on our mercurial and mysterious bad boy Ronan. And I didn’t know just how great it could possibly get. I didn’t know I was going to fall in love with the oh-so-proper Richard Gansey III. What I didn’t know was that I was going to get swept into a world where magic is real and anything is possible. When I first picked up The Raven Boys I knew it was going to be a toss-up on whether I would enjoy it or not. There are so few words to express how I feel about this stunning and brilliant series. In that moment, Blue was a little in love with all of them. Hell is the same as any hood and certainly the Brooklyn hood she grew up in. Will she blow Winter?s head off? Can Winter dodge the bullets?

What makes the Gettysburg Address so famous? It was a very good speech with good points, but it wasn’t 300 words. It isn’t true that Everett’s speech was boring. Senator Edward Everett himself, who gave a two-hour speech before Lincoln’s, understood that the speech was good and wrote Lincoln telling him so. It is true the applause following the speech was a bit scattered people did not expect the speech to be so short, and the audience was taken by surprise. But Lincoln thought most things he did were a failure, so that’s not a good way to judge. We think the speech was a failure because Lincoln thought so. It’s also not true that the speech was a complete failure. It was the fruit of a great deal of thought and issues that he’d been thinking about over a lifetime. It’s not true that Lincoln wrote it on the train to Pennsylvania from Washington, D.C. What are some of the greatest misconceptions about the Gettysburg Address? BrandeisNOW spoke with English professor John Burt, author of the critically acclaimed “Lincoln’s Tragic Pragmatism,” about the meaning of the Gettysburg Address. Lincoln addressed an audience of about 15,000 at the dedication of the Soldiers’ National Cemetery four months after the Union defeated the Confederacy at the Battle of Gettysburg. One hundred fifty years ago today, President Abraham Lincoln delivered a two-minute speech that became one of the most cherished in American history. |
