![]() ![]() ![]() Pure Grit is a story of sisterhood and suffering, of death and life, of how the women cared for each other and honoured their vocation to nurse anyone in need, all ninety-eight coming home alive. Their country needed them to return to being "ladies, " domestic, safe and fragile. ![]() American forces re-took the Philippines late in the war and the nurses were commanded by their superior officers to keep quiet about what happened. Military Nurses Serving in the Philippines, December 7, 1941. Captured as prisoners of war by the Japanese, they suffered disease and near-starvation for three years. From award-winning journalist and childrens book author Mary Cronk Farrell comes the inspiring and fascinating story of the woman who gave a human face to the Vietnam War. PURE GRIT Nurses by Home State - MARY CRONK FARRELL AUTHOR. Ninety-eight American Army and Navy nurses serving in the Philippines learned to treat wounded and dying soldiers while bombs exploded all around them.

Figuring out how to afford to bury their mother is the least of their woes. ![]() Debts have been collecting, all the things Dot sheltered and hid from her children are knocking at their door, as threatening as monsters. Jeanie has never been healthy enough to face the challenges of life, learning too was a struggle, unlike her brother who has been the one venture into town taking on jobs here and there, she has spent her life feeling this crumbling home is their only sanctuary. Dot, whose secrets are now going to force Jeanie and Julius out into the world, has kept them tied to the only home they’ve ever known, for better or worse. It has been Dot who has faced all of life’s difficulties keeping her beloved children in a safe bubble. The family of three have lived in “rural isolation and poverty” in a cottage since the death of the twins father when they were still children. ![]() The incident that comes along and trips up twins Jeanie and Julius, aged 51, is the sudden, unexpected death of their mother Dot. Otherwise, one day we’re kids playing with the hose pipe, and the next we’re laid out on an old door in the parlour.” “ Sometimes, I reckon, we need something to come along and trip us up when we’re not expecting it. ![]() ![]() ![]() The writing is strong, and the short, easy sentences allow readers to focus on the weight of the story being told, from the revelation of what happened when the soldiers came and killed Omar’s father to how he was separated from his mother and ended up in the refugee camp with his brother. Though Omar’s story ends happily, readers are left with a sense of despair realizing how many people are left behind in these camps. The chance to emigrate comes when Omar is nearly an adult, having spent his entire childhood in the camp. Neither going to the school nor leaving Hassan behind is easy, but Omar perseveres, and he and his brother continue to wait for resettlement. Omar doesn’t attend school, because he is responsible for Hassan, but when the opportunity to attend school comes, Omar chooses to go. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The impact had knocked him out and badly injured his spine, leaving him temporarily blinded and without feeling in his legs. The injured soldier had not set eyes on the enemy: he had jumped out of a plane, without a helmet or proper training, ripped his parachute on the tail and plummeted to earth at roughly twice the recommended speed. A letter to his mother from the War Office stated that he had suffered “a contusion of the back as a result of enemy action.” The twenty-five-year-old officer had been brought into the Scottish Military Hospital on June 15, 1941, paralyzed from the waist down. ![]() Five months before Operation Squatter, a tall, thin soldier lay, grumpy and immobile, in a Cairo hospital bed. ![]() ![]() ![]() (Note: We do also meet her in The Magician’s Nephew where Polly and Digory get to see her in all her wicked glory.

I think that’s because she’s such a good (read: evil) antagonist! She has that lovely fairy tale witch-ness about her.

He’s the King, I tell you.” #2 – The Witch ![]() One of my favourite exchanges is as follows: “Safe?” said Mr Beaver …”Who said anything about safe? ‘Course he isn’t safe. I really do think it’s the best introduction to Aslan!) (It’s also why I’d recommend reading this book as the first in the series. In fact, it’s kind of like the children not quite knowing him and yet knowing him all at the same time. We keep hearing about him so it’s like we do know him. I love how we meet Aslan before we actually meet him. You almost can’t separate Aslan from Narnia. The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe // by C.S. *Note: This post may have some slight spoilers in it. One of my favourite series of all times… Definitely a 5-star rating! And in honour of those 5 stars, I’ll give 5 reasons why I love this book… ![]() ![]() ![]() Nor are the women in ‘The Knight’s Tale’ given an especially active role. If they are meant to embody particular qualities, it is not easy to tell them apart and identify which values they respectively represent. ![]() One of the weaknesses of ‘The Knight’s Tale’ (its excessive length and relative lack of action aside) is the lack of clear distinction between Palamon and Arcite. It is thought that this element was Chaucer’s addition to the original story, inspired by his reading of the Roman author Boethius, who believed that men were constantly at the whim of fate (the idea of the ‘wheel of fortune’ ultimately stems from Boethius). ![]() ![]() ![]() An oral history of historian Leopold, Ph.D. Straddling Worlds: The Jewish-American Journey of Professor Richard W. ![]() The Starch professor of psychology emeritus wades into the “empirically lean and theoretically contentious understanding of emotion-al phenomena” and finds himself “adopt a skeptical stance toward the existence of a small set of basic emotions.” Kagan writes, “Poets possess the license to use a predicate any way they wish,” but this is very much a scientist’s book.

I compared Lee’s ultra-violent trip through hell to a children’s book. Lee’s book is less Takashi Miike’s Ichi the Killer and more Philip Pullman’s His Dark Materials. In truth what I got was something much stranger and, in my opinion, much more interesting. Whatever the explanation I planed on rectifying the problem when I bought City Infernal.Ĭity Infernal is the first book of Lee’s popular “Infernal Mythos.” I like to know very little about books before I dive in (you’ve seen how neurotic about spoilers I can get), but because Lee is known in the horror community for his stomach-churning gore (everything I had read prior to this confirms this) I figured that I was in for a sick, if a bit guilty, pleasure. It’s probably not his reputation for writing “extreme horror,” as Laymon and Ketchum are pretty extreme and are regular staples in my literary diet. Then why have I been into horror for so long and mostly shied away from one of today’s big authors? I don’t have a good answer for you. A smattering of short stories, his novella The Cyesolagniac and his segment of Triage (which is a collection of three novellas by Lee, Jack Ketchum and Richard Laymon). I’ve read tragically little of Edward Lee’s work. ![]() ![]() You can help Wookieepedia by expanding it.
