Jasper’s grin grows maniacal as he constructs a fortress and moat to contain the offending carrot patch, giving the carrots a happy ending in this Hitchcock spoof (Brown even sneaks in a sly Vertigo reference). tunktunktunk of carrots creeping.” Brown (Children Make Terrible Pets) illustrates in noirish grayscale with squash-orange highlights and dramatic lighting, framing each panel in shiny black for a claustrophobic film-still effect that cements the story’s horror movie feel.

Creepy Carrots Lesson Plans and IdeasYour kiddos will love the main character, Jasper Rabbit See how we use this book as a week-long close reading. Reynolds (Snowbots) makes liberal use of ellipses for suspense, conjuring the “soft. Jasper Rabbit doesn’t think twice about plundering the carrots of Crackenhopper Field “until they started following him.” Jasper glimpses three jack-o-lantern–jawed carrots behind him in the bathroom mirror (when he turns around it’s just a washcloth, shampoo bottle, and rubber duck-or is it?), and he yells for his parents when a carrot shadow looms on his bedroom wall. In a spot-on parody of a paranoid thriller, a hungry bunny senses “creepy carrots” watching his every move. But as the novel warns us early on, this is not really a story about war-at least not in the traditional sense. The narrative tracks Sarat and her family as violence drives them from their home in Louisiana-not far from the submerged New Orleans, “a well within the walls of its levees”-to a ravaged refugee camp, and from there to Georgia, where foreign ships unload food, blankets, and weapons for the Southern resistance.Īs the war stalks the Chestnuts across the bombed-out wreckage of the South (“the Red”), Sarat becomes increasingly radicalized, consumed by desire for vengeance against the North (“the Blue”). At the center of the story is Sarat Chestnut, who is a young girl when the war breaks out but gradually comes to play a decisive role in its outcome. This devastated landscape, and the catastrophic Second Civil War that ensues, is the subject of Omar El Akkad’s pitch-black debut novel, American War. And the states of Georgia, South Carolina, Alabama, and Mississippi, enraged by a governmental ban on fossil fuels, have seceded into a Free Southern State. The capital has relocated from Washington DC to Columbus, Ohio. Mexico has reclaimed large swathes of the southwest. The United States, its shorelines eaten away by mega-hurricanes and rising seas, has splintered apart.

Too often, the stories connected to them are forgotten to time. The inherent misfortune of mundane objects, unlike those which may be either monetarily valuable or visibly precious, is that they are often underappreciated. With the exception of physical museums, there are few places where the life and materiality of an object of age is celebrated. Gauging this interest, I co-founded the Museum of Material Memory with a friend, Navdha Malhotra, who works in the social impact space, in September 2017. This method of excavating personal history through material culture found resonance even with many who had no history of Partition. Over time, this research coalesced into a book published in South Asia as Remnants of a Separation and internationally as Remnants of Partition. The intention was to understand whether the notion of belonging to a particular land can be imbued within an object carried from that land, even though the land itself now remained on the other side of a border. In the year 2013, I embarked on a cross-border research project, trying to archive the objects that had migrated with refugees during the 1947 Partition of India. It was during my masters’ thesis at Concordia University (Montréal) that I would come to understand the intimate relationships that humans share with objects, particularly heirlooms whose origin may lie in geographies that are inaccessible, both physically and temporally. This sets a high bar for the series to come. El-Arifi keeps the pages flying even while building an intricate secondary world, allowing readers to learn its rules through action rather than exposition. Now Sylah works to pick up the pieces of the rebellion with help from her friend Hassa, a clever and resourceful Ghosting, and Anoor, the Duster with whom she was switched at birth. She and 12 other Ember children were stolen as babies by a Duster-led resistance called the Sandstorm, who hoped to raise them “to destroy the empire from within.” A brutal massacre of Sandstorm’s ranks left Sylah the sole survivor, and she’s lost all hope of a revolution-until someone she’d thought long dead walks back into her life. But Sylah has a secret: she was born an Ember. Scrappy heroine Sylah lives among the Dusters, working in their fighting rings while struggling with addiction to deadly joba seeds. There are three classes: the Embers, the red-blooded elite the Dusters, a blue blooded second class and the Ghostings, clear-blooded slaves with virtually no rights. The Wardens’ Empire maintains a violent social hierarchy based on the color of one’s blood. El-Arifi debuts and launches the Ending Fire series with a fast-paced epic fantasy inspired by Ghanian and Arabian folklore. Renaissance shopping 'was a key moment that brought people of different status, religion and sex together' (p. This wide-ranging interest requires the use of varied methods, from micro-historical approaches to art historical analyses. Consequently, different aspects of shopping are taken into consideration: cultural and social meanings, political implications, and, obviously, economic significance. Focusing on diverse aspects of these practices – the people and the institutions involved, the time and the place of shopping, the different types of sale and shopping – Evelyn Welch offers a wide and lively picture of urban communities in Renaissance Italy.Īs the author argues, 'Renaissance buying practices were a multiplicity of interconnected events and acts, dependent as much on time, trust, social relations and networks as on the seemingly impersonal issues of price, production and demand' (p. It could be defined as a social history of Italy seen from the angle of shopping practices during a period of transition, between the Middle Ages and the early modern era. This attractively illustrated volume is far more than a monograph on shopping activities in Renaissance Italy. The author's ability to employ different historical approaches at the same time confirms that cultural, social, economic and art history can enhance each other. Consumer Cultures in Italy 1400–1600 is a fascinating study which turns a common social practice into a compelling subject of research. Evelyn Welch's Shopping in the Renaissance. He reteamed with Alan Grant for DC Retroactive: Batman – The '90s in 2011 and followed that with DC's Batman Beyond Unlimited digital comic series. Norm Breyfogle suffered a stroke in 2014 and there were a number of fundraising appeals to help pay for his care, which also prompted DC Comics to reprint his earlier Batman work as Legends of the Dark Knight: Norm Breyfogle hardcover volumes, the second of which is due to be published in November. After another stint with DC Comics, he would find other work illustrating children's books, working in advertising, writing his own prose and poetry, and working for smaller publishers with Of Bitter Souls and The Danger's Dozen, before withing for Archie Comics.

Finally, this thesis launches further discussion of Furukawa’s works in ways that will also be pertinent to continuing debate about the significance of Ordinary Language Philosophy to the study of literature. Differences between the two raise the hermeneutical question of how translation may enact a limit upon readers’ understanding of Furukawa’s narrative. While I focus on the translated text, my analysis repeatedly turns to the original Japanese work to compare and contrast these editions. Seeking to rectify the current lack of critical attention afforded Hideo Furukawa in anglophone literary scholarship, this is the first extensive study of the English translation of Slow Boat. As objects of comparison with the book’s diverse portrayal of boundaries, my investigation turns to discussions on limits within Ordinary Language Philosophy and focuses on the work of Ludwig Wittgenstein and Stanley Cavell in particular. With the aim of giving clarity to the protagonist’s inability to leave Tokyo, my study attends to the novel’s conceptualisation of limits as they relate to the Japanese capital, language and love. Situated within Ordinary Language Criticism, this Master’s thesis explores the multiple iterations of limits within the English translation of Hideo Furukawa’s Slow Boat. 2022 (English) Independent thesis Advanced level (degree of Master (Two Years)), 30 credits / 45 HE credits Student thesis Abstract Versatile, affordable and easy to use!
