Beowulf by Michael Morpurgo5/12/2023 She wanted revenge for Beowulf killing her son. The second monster he killed, was in fact Grendel’s mother. He actually fought this foul beast with his bare hands, because he heard that Grendel didn’t carry a weapon, so neither would he! Because of his stunning strength, he tore Grendel’s arm off, and killed him! They celebrated in the hall, and King Hrothgar hung the arm from the rafters so they could all stare at it in the feast. Beowulf had incredible strength, which he thought was a gift from God. The first monster he fought was called Grendel, who was terrorising a large mead-hall belonging to King Hrothgar. It is about a brave Prince called Beowulf, who killed many malicious monsters that were terrorising scared- to – death kingdoms. This is an exciting tale set in Anglo-Saxon times that many Anglo-Saxons told to their kids.

Annie john full book5/11/2023 Stainer famously pasted a label there claiming to have been a pupil of Amati. The fascination for me is that the top-block has always been a good place to plant discreet messages to other violin makers peering in through an empty endpin hole. But spruce or pine continued to be the usual choice elsewhere. Stradivari went for the more homogeneous willow as his material. And then, softwood splits very easily, especially if you’re pushing a dovetailed neck joint in a little too hard or hammering a handful of nails through it. If you accidentally fit the block upside down, as it were, with the angle of the grain in the wrong way, it’s seriously difficult to make the neck joint. The neck root goes through the top ribs and glues itself to the back. But the Brescians managed without anything. The Amatis generally used spruce – scraps from the workshop floor, with three or four iron nails banged through them into the neck. Some have inscriptions, some have nail holes or peg holes. The pain.īut still, top-blocks have interesting stories to tell. All these things can happen and not reveal themselves until you’re actually fitting the neck. Hidden knots, twisted grain, even upside-down grain. What can possibly go wrong? Ah, I could tell you tales of top-blocks. The top-block. Another simple piece of straight-grained wood, faced off nice and square, a straightforward task.

Running natalia sylvester5/11/2023 “Suddenly it all made sense,” says Sylvester. But that all changed when she came across a brochure about the College’s Creative Writing major. She expressed herself in poetry and fiction and decided to try a career in journalism at the University of Miami. She grew up in Florida and the Rio Grande Valley in Texas her family finally settled in Miami when she was in seventh grade. “It’s about translation and realizing the power that language has to separate and create division, but also unite.” Born in Lima, Peru, Sylvester came to the U.S. “The idea to write this piece came from a place of personal experience,” says Sylvester. The piece, a reflection on language and diversity, draws on her experiences as an interpreter and mediator in those spaces where Spanish-speakers and English-speakers sometimes meet-and connections are sometimes lost. The discovery that language, and the stories it carries, is not a straight path.” Natalia Sylvester, B.A.’06, shared these words in her opinion piece “The Beauty of Being Bilingual,” which was published this past September in the New York Times. “I used to think that being bilingual is what made me a writer, but more and more I see it’s deeper than that. How to Read by Eckhard Gerdes5/10/2023 The conversations between Kay and Karen are believable and honest. However, his ability to write realistic dialogue is truly unmatched. Eckhard Gerdes is a very talented writer, so many possible answers sprung to mind. Perhaps it's all just a good excuse for them to make plans and go out drinking together as both women are mostly on their own.Īfter I set this book down, I asked myself what the most remarkable part of the writing was. It was a very true depiction of how powerful each of our minds is when left to their own devices.Įven though Kay and Karen are annoyed by the many pauses during the play, the women attend it three separate times because they keep getting distracted, falling asleep, or otherwise not paying attention. At times, Karen's mind may wander toward a magazine story she's reading to pass the time when suddenly a new version of reality takes over, and the reader doesn't quite know if we're still in Karen's mind or not. While most of the novel is set inside the theater, during the production, the story largely focuses on where the two main character's minds go when they are left to wander.
