![]() At the start of the Chronicles it was hinted at that it was number of visits that dictated whether or not a child was allowed to go back, but in this novel it is shown to be age that precludes visit after visit. Jill and Eustace are the only earth dwellers young enough to still be allowed to travel to Narnia. Why are Jill and Eustace the only people from the earthly world present in the battle? His objective seems to be to be able to manipulate the Narnians into obeying him by producing a false Aslan, and to get an easy life, but long-term, his objectives seem unprepared and barely thought out. ![]() He doesn't seem to have a game plan in case any of the other animals also try to align with the Tisroc, and doesn't seem to have a contingency plan for Ginger's play for power. He is savvy and cunning but not as smart as he thinks he is, primarily because he spends a lot of time with the easily-manipulated Puzzle. Shift is basically a bully and his main objective is to make sure there is a better and more constant supply of oranges and bananas. ![]() What is Shift's main motivation and game-plan when fooling the Narnians? ![]() We are thankful for their contributions and encourage you to make your own.

![]() ![]() ![]() It was from there that Russell made his living as a watercolor artist. Professors Harrison Groutage, Everett Thorpe, Gaell Lindstrom, Moishe Smith and Glenn Edwards powered the art department by their classical passion for art, fueling Russells passion and confidence that would later outway the risks of pursuing painting full-time. At Snow College, in rural Central Utah, Osral Allred and Carle Purcell helped guide his brush forward as he continued in study at Utah State University, beginning in the 80s. In High School and throughout Russells years of formal studies, his audience of influence grew. Born in Cedar City, Utah, Russell was heavily influenced to paint by his father–an accomplished painter and artist in his own right, who spent most of his career as a graphic illustrator for the federal government. ![]() ![]() Pointing the finger clearly at those who benefit from the logic of domination, Debord’s final triumphant work conveys the revolutionary impulse at the heart of Situationism and later movements such as Occupy, Antifa, and Black Lives Matter. Resolutely refusing to be reconciled to the system, Debord trenchantly slices through the obfuscation and tinfoil mystification offered by journalists and pundits to show how aspects of reality as diverse as terrorism and the environment, the Mafia and the media, were caught up in the logic of the spectacular society. In Comments on the Society of the Spectacle, published twenty years later, Debord returns to the themes of his previous analysis and demonstrates how they were all the more relevant in a period where the “integrated spectacle” was dominant. Credited by many as being the inspiration for the revolutionary events of May 1968 in France, Debord’s pitiless attack on commodity fetishism and capitalism continues to burn brightly in today’s age of satellite television and the soundbite. ![]() ![]() ![]() First published in 1967, Guy Debord’s stinging revolutionary critique of contemporary society, The Society of the Spectacle, has since acquired cult status.

The notion that she was considered one on the basis of Forever Amber brought a mildly embarrassed laugh from the author - now a trim and healthy- looking 67 - in an interview in her East Side apartment.Įven so, readers expecting a voluptuous clone of Amber, a bawdy, lusty costume epic, filled with plagues, conflagrations and people, are likely to be surprised, if not disappointed. At least, that’s one conclusion to be drawn from the book that finally has been published, Robert and Arabella (Harmony, $14.95), which may yet cause Winsor to live up to her legend as a sexy writer. In the unlikely event that it had been published during that censorious era, there would have been so many ellipses the novel might have been mistaken for a Morse code handbook. The problems with her second book, however, weren’t so easily solved. Winsor insisted at the time that her story of a hot-blooded courtesan in Restoration England had only two sexy passages, both of which her publisher had replaced with ellipses. mails for obscenity, among a multitude of other sins real or imagined. She finished a first draft, then set it aside during the uproar over Amber, which, as expected, turned out to be 1944’s wickedest best seller - banned from the U.S. Forty years ago, while waiting for her cautious publisher to bring out Forever Amber, Kathleen Winsor started to work on a second novel. ![]() ![]() in fact, the longing to return to the land and its people, to embrace the prairie's beauty, its stillness and be a part of it without fear of rejection resonate throughout the narrative.Įventually, Melanie finds her strength and her voice and the silence of the prairie from without and within her is broken - at least for a little while but there is still much to be done. despite some painful experiences, Melanie moves forward and writes about them all with courage and without sounding bitter. ![]() a call from her friend Melissa sparks something within her and Melanie decides to take a month off from work to visit her hometown during harvest and confront again the silence that has grown deep in her heart.Īs Melanie relates, among others, her family dynamics, her first sexual experience, her spirituality and involvement with a Christian group, we see her growth as a person and how these factors have influenced her thinking and outlook.
