Von Linden wants to know about the British war effort he wants Julie to list types of aircraft in use and airfield locations, and he wants her to describe how the British have used technology like radar. In exchange for the final code set, von Linden gives Julie paper and two weeks to write her story. In exchange for her clothes, Julie gives the Nazis wireless code for each of the 11 wireless sets in the back of the plane. The Gestapo, led by Hauptsturmführer von Linden, torture her for a few weeks and then show her pictures of the back of Maddie’s crashed plane. Julie is captured in Ormaie (a fictional French city) in early October of 1943, when a member of the Gestapo sees her look the wrong way before crossing the street (which is a giveaway that Julie is British rather than French). In the second part, Maddie, a pilot, keeps a diary of what happens after she and Julie crash-land in France.

Who wants to worship someone he can fully understand?” As long as we accept that everything, He does need not make sense to our finite minds. Quotes: “…I do not think that God is so insecure that He cannot stand it when we ask questions. Exhibit more of God’s love and grace rather than judgement. Learned: Don’t judge someone by their circumstances. Overall, I enjoyed the character growth of Shoshana throughout this story. There was romance and drama as well but it was realistic and not overly drawn out. Liked: This book was a heart check for me as Shoshana sought refuge and found grace, love and forgiveness along the way. Impressions: I really enjoyed this read and ended up staying up past my bedtime to finish it. Will she find freedom among God’s people? Or will she seek refuge somewhere else?” When an accident forces her to take refuge under the law of God and away from all that she loves, she struggles to see God’s grace in her circumstances. Traditions, expectations, and the laws of the God of Jacob rise up like a prison around Shoshana, but she takes refuge in her favorite places: her kitchen and the top of the hill where she feels the breeze in her hair. Back of the Book: “Shoshana’s Refuge explores the struggles of a young Israelite woman during the reign of Solomon. Praise for The Darkest Part of the Forest: A Kids' Indie Next List Book of the Year The Darkest Part of the Forest is bestselling author Holly Black's triumphant return to the opulent, enchanting faerie tales that launched her YA career. Hazel knows the horned boy will never wake.Īs the world turns upside down, Hazel has to become the knight she once pretended to be. But as Hazel grows up, she puts aside those stories. Since they were children, Hazel and Ben have been telling each other stories about the boy in the glass coffin, that he is a prince and they are valiant knights, pretending their prince would be different from the other faeries, the ones who made cruel bargains, lurked in the shadows of trees, and doomed tourists. Hazel and her brother, Ben, live in Fairfold, where humans and the Folk exist side by side. It rests on the ground, and in it sleeps a boy with horns on his head and ears as pointed as knives. A girl makes a secret sacrifice to the faerie king in this lush New York Times bestselling fantasy by author Holly Black But he doesn’t want that fiery energy to translate into violence or chaos. King knows that by invoking the language of scorching heat and urging a foundation-shifting revolution, he’s firing people up. Here, the epigraph is the words of Lincoln, who is renowned and praised for his role in ending slavery, although the speech will go on to examine all the work left to be done to create true equality. King telegraphs this to his audience by essentially quoting the opening lines of Lincoln’s famous Gettysburg Address, which began: “Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth, upon this continent, a new nation, conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.” Looking at King’s speech through the lens of sermon structure (he was a preacher, after all), Lincoln’s words could be viewed as the sermon’s epigraph (typically a Bible verse that the sermon goes on to analyze). So not only were he and the protestors at the March on Washington standing literally in Lincoln’s shadow-they were also standing metaphorically in the shadow of the actions he took to end slavery. King delivered his address from the steps of the Lincoln Memorial, which looks out on the National Mall and the Washington Monument.

From the critically acclaimed author of One of Us Is Lying comes a new page-turning mystery. This river separated into four headwaters, sending out life-giving waters through the land.

This thesis takes contemporary neoliberalism’s transformation of social structures and subjectivities to be driving this specific limiting effect on the ability to imagine alternative patterns of social relations and on the scope and potential of the imagination as such. It argues that these representations of agency, conceptually limited to individual action, occlude the reality and possibility of communal political agency. This thesis considers this apparent impossibility to be a product of an ontology of atomised individualism that informs texts from mainstream Hollywood blockbusters to more putatively radical works of literature. The transformation of utopian impulse to utopian programme is traditionally understood to present a representational impossibility-a “break”-and to require a shift into a less rigorous fantastic or magical representational register. This thesis investigates the limitations and capacities of genres of the fantastic in their ability to represent the “break” between agency and structure, specifically the transformation of the former into the latter on the scale of radical social and political change. |
