The human is suitably terrified of her and Aventurine is about to pounce when … wait … what’s that delicious-smelling food he’s cooking? It’s hot chocolate, which Aventurine has never heard of before. So one day she sneaks out of their caverns. How can she not, with a name like Aventurine? Aventurine’s mother encourages her to “find her passion” in studying history, math or philosophy, but Aventurine just wants to go explore and be free. Review first posted on Fantasy Literature:Ī young, golden-eyed dragon named Aventurine is chafing at the restrictions her family has placed on her: dragons aren’t allowed outside of the caverns until they’re 40 or 50 years old, when their wings are strong enough for flight and their scales have hardened enough to protect them against arrows and swords. ![]() ![]() MATTHEW VINES, The Reformation Project: We don’t see in any kind of consistent or widespread or prominent way, in ancient literature, long. ![]() (Text from the New International Version, 1984 edition.

Originally published anonymously in 1912, Johnson’s novel The Autobiography of an Ex-Colored Man is considered one of the foundational works of twentieth-century African American literature, and its themes and forms have been taken up by other writers, from Ralph Ellison to Teju Cole. ![]() James Weldon Johnson (1871–1938) exemplified the ideal of the American public intellectual as a writer, educator, songwriter, diplomat, key figure of the Harlem Renaissance, and first African American executive of the NAACP. ![]() 7/2/2023 0 Comments Wonder woman rebirth![]() Year One/Godwatch are more straightforward stories and are better for it, I love those two. The Lies/the Truth was the weaker half of his run, but still as good as it could be considering the state of the WW mythos was a mess even before he got there. Here, he was charged with cleaning up the New 52's mess* while keeping it in continuity somewhat and making it an accessible jumping on point. Rucka's first run is superior overall because he didn't have to do continuity clean up. it injected too much misogyny to be viable long term. ![]() Basically, I love the art, a few isolated scenes with Diana herself and the Gods, and am neutral to the new characters, but the drawbacks are far too damaging to the central themes of Wonder Woman. But the characterization of the Amazons, the Zeus parentage, the First Born/Cassandra being dull flat antagonists and Orion/the New Gods being shoved in there are too big of hurdles to get over. I still enjoy the first year of the run (Amazons aside) because Hera, Hades and Apollo were the best antagonists. If the Azzarello run had just been a story with Diana and a handful of new supporting demigod characters going on a tour of the Greek pantheon as re-designed by Chiang, it would have been a lot more enjoyable because that was easily the best part. ![]() 7/2/2023 0 Comments S jae jones![]() ![]() For me, the middle of the novel is simply an extension of the beginning, and in fact, I tend to think of my books more or less in halves: the beginning, and then the end.

Moreau continued trying to perfect his process, but the animal nature of his subjects kept returning to them. ![]() They acquired animals to experiment on from unscrupulous traders, including the captain of the ship Ipecacuanha. Moreau and Montgomery moved to a deserted island in the South Pacific where they resumed Moreau's experiments. Knowing that he faced exile or prison, Montgomery gladly went with Moreau. While leaving London, he recruited Montgomery, an alcoholic medical student who had killed a man in a drunken stupor to be his assistant. However, Moreau was forced to halt his experiences and leave London when a dog he had been operating on escaped from his lab and ran screaming into the streets. He chose the human form simply because he thought it would make an interesting challenge. Purely out of curiosity, he began experimenting with using vivisection as a means of restructuring animals into humans. ![]() Moreau began his experiments when he was a respected surgeon living in London. ![]() 7/1/2023 0 Comments Carl sagan earth quote![]() ![]() “If we long to believe that the stars rise and set for us, that we are the reason there is a universe, does science do us a disservice in deflating our conceits?” If it’s just us, it seems like an awful waste of space.” “Our species needs and deserves a citizenry with minds wide awake and a basic understanding of how the world works.” Carl Sagan Quotes About the Universe It’s that credulous and confused thinking can be much more lethal in ways it was never before.” It’s not that there’s something new in our way of thinking. “The dangers of not thinking clearly are much greater now than ever before. “It pays to keep an open mind, but not so open your brains fall out.” “We can judge our progress by the courage of our questions and the depth of our answers, our willingness to embrace what is true rather than what feels good.” ![]() But they also laughed at Bozo the Clown.” They laughed at Columbus, they laughed at Fulton, and they laughed at the Wright brothers. ![]() “But the fact that some geniuses were laughed at does not imply that all who are laughed at are geniuses. ![]() |
