![]() ![]() ![]() European aristocracy aligned itself with conservative religious agendas and perpetuated antisemitic rhetoric to further mobilize the masses against Jews. Rather, it is an ideology that is weaponized by totalitarian movements. Jews found themselves both sought after and excluded for their heritage.Īrendt asserts that antisemitism is not mere hatred. Arendt argues that the loss of Jewish political influence while maintaining wealth led others to resent the Jewish people. She details the history of the Jewish people in Europe and the limitations and privileges attached to their distinct status. Arendt refutes several claims about the relationship between antisemitism and totalitarianism, asserting that antisemitism preceded totalitarianism, rather arising during it. Part 1 defines antisemitism and outlines its role in totalitarianism. Arendt suggests that understanding and examining totalitarian movements helps humanity better understand their causes and prevent their future recurrence. A Jewish Holocaust survivor and philosopher, Arendt attempts to understand what led to the powerful success of the Germanic and Russian pan-nationalist movements and, ultimately, the totalitarian regimes which dominated Europe for the first half of the 20th century. The text is divided into three parts: antisemitism, imperialism, and totalitarianism. ![]() ![]() This Mario Lopez lookalike came out in 1994 as openly gay, and later revealed that he was HIV-positive. ![]() If you're squeamish at all, here's a photo that isn't graphic.)īut since he wrote Breaking the Surface in 1995, Greg Louganis has become famous for things other than hitting his head. ![]() (And by the way, no, there aren't clips available online that don't have the creepy slo-mo or 80's techno soundtrack. It's no joke: if you're brave, here's the video of it. Well, if you don't immediately conjure up the image of him hitting his head on the diving board in the 1988 Olympics, then you were probably just not born yet… because that's the only way you'd have missed that happening.Īlthough he should be remembered for his incredible achievements-he won two gold medals for diving in both the 19 Olympics, which had never been done before-he's best known for the time he epically misjudged his distance from the board, and made the whole world think they'd just witnessed a really unfortunate death. ![]() ![]() You might have heard it in conversation (or in a Family Guy cut-away) and wondered, "Why should I know who this guy is?"

Yet readers also see the yearning for love and wells of compassion hidden beneath his self-protective exterior. ![]() Our soon-to-be orphaned narrator’s mother is a substance-abusing teenage single mom who checks out via OD on his 11th birthday, and Demon’s cynical, wised-up voice is light-years removed from David Copperfield’s earnest tone. ![]() ![]() It’s not necessary to have read Dickens’ famous novel to appreciate Kingsolver’s absorbing tale, but those who have will savor the tough-minded changes she rings on his Victorian sentimentality while affirming his stinging critique of a heartless society. Inspired by David Copperfield, Kingsolver crafts a 21st-century coming-of-age story set in America’s hard-pressed rural South. ![]() ![]() I think that’s why Luke likes Clay so much. He laughs at all of my brother’s stupid jokes and stunts. He thinks everything Luke does is a riot. Mom and dad have a typical fight about who was supposed to pack the map (maps!

They were trying to go to a Zoo, but dad left the map at home! Man, you just can’t write these kinds of gripping stories anymore thanks to smart phones. The Morris family never planned to go to HorrorLand, if you can believe it. ![]() That quote was all the evidence I needed of Lizzy’s calm nature. Everyone says, “Lizzy, you’re the calm one.” And I’m trying to tell this story calmly. I bet these people will be alive but in coffins for some spooky reason or other and need to escape. I have been around the block with you a few times, and ‘lying in our coffins’ doesn’t necessarily mean dead. The books begins on an incredibly bleak note, even by Goosebumps standards:Īs we entered the gates to HorrorLand, we had no idea that, in less than an hour, we would all be lying in our coffins. Also YAY it’s Goosebumps time!! One Day at HorrorLand Chapter 1: ![]() This has been a difficult book to discuss as it consistently sounds like I’m reading a book called One Day at WhoreLand, which is a much less child friendly book. When I say ‘horror’ it often sounds like I’m saying ‘whore’. ![]() ![]() ![]() The narrator also observes that Roderick appears to be frightened of his own home. Roderick claims to the narrator that he has anxiety, terror, and heightened senses. Roderick seems paler and less animated than he used to be, the man observes. He makes his way to the chamber where Roderick is waiting by navigating the lengthy hallways. The narrator believes that the house’s inside is equally eerie as its outside.

This issue also features a surprise backup story by Gene Luen Yang and Peter Nguyen titled “Daggers and Claws.” This story features Sister Dagger, who needs a little help from Wolverine. Wolverine clash for so long, it’s starting to get frustrating. ![]() That said, it feels like this series has been teasing a Beast vs. The level of detail put into each of their fatigues is quite impressive. The highly detailed style looks particularly great when Bannister gives a speech to some soldiers on a battleship. Juan Jose Ryp’s detailed art style looks great, including a neat-looking organic submarine. This issue is very much a bridge to more exciting developments, though. The clones serve to show Beast can’t control even his creation while also reminding us of how cold-blooded he is with a life of any kind. That includes recording the Beast clones conversing, which we see on a data page. Because Beast was well aware that clones of himself might eventually try to take over, or at the very least disagree with him, some contingency plans were enacted to ensure he couldn’t lose power. ![]() The rise of the Beast clones is probably the most interesting part of this issue. ![]() ![]() "Picky eaters will enjoy the subtle humor of this topsy-turvy tale." - School Library Journalįans of Little Oink, Little Hoot, and Duck!

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() It tells how wisdom was forged in Ames's soul during his solitary life, and how history lives through generations, pervasively present even when betrayed and forgotten. This is also the tale of another remarkable vision-not a corporeal vision of God but the vision of life as a wondrously strange creation. And he tells a story of the sacred bonds between fathers and sons, which are tested in his tender and strained relationship with his namesake, John Ames Boughton, his best friend's wayward son. Reverend Ames writes to his son about the tension between his father-an ardent pacifist-and his grandfather, whose pistol and bloody shirts, concealed in an army blanket, may be relics from the fight between the abolitionists and those settlers who wanted to vote Kansas into the union as a slave state. Ames is the son of an Iowan preacher and the grandson of a minister who, as a young man in Maine, saw a vision of Christ bound in chains and came west to Kansas to fight for abolition: He "preached men into the Civil War," then, at age fifty, became a chaplain in the Union Army, losing his right eye in battle. In 1956, toward the end of Reverend John Ames's life, he begins a letter to his young son, an account of himself and his forebears. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Published by Penguin Random House Group, 2020.
