![]() Actually, as Stevens travels through England’s landscape and meets different people, he gets reminded of highlights in his past at Darlington Hall and flees into his memory. Wong stated that “Stevens’s motor trip” through the English landscape is a “journey reflecting on his repressed love for Miss Kenton which had resulted from his loyalty to Lord Darlington” (Wong, as cited by Shaffer 76). Under him, Darlington Hall is no longer the meeting point for “the wealthy and influential” (Su 553).Ĭynthia F. ![]() Shortly after the war, Mr Farraday, an American purchases the estate and minimizes the staff drastically. He dedicated his life to serving Lord Darlington, a labelled traitor and Nazi sympathizer, and to the task of being a “great” butler. Kazuo Ishiguro’s The Remains of the Day is told from the perspective of Stevens, an elderly head butler, who, during a six- day road trip to England’s West Country, reflects on his past at the country mansion Darlington Hall. ![]()

I have lots of time to write and work with my students. I live in a small town, without much to do. I grew up in the West Indies, and I still feel like an islander! But I live only five blocks from Lake Michigan, and it’s gorgeous here in the warm months. Sue William Silverman: These long, winter days are bleak and gray.

The Starkadders have always lived at Cold Comfort Farm, even though the place is apparently cursed. She is therefore presented with quite a challenge when she goes off to live with her relatives at Cold Comfort Farm, following the (unlamented) deaths of her parents. ![]() Flora also likes everything about her to be “tidy and pleasant and comfortable”. I knew I was going to get along with Miss Flora Poste, the narrator of this novel, from the very first chapter, in which she explains that her “idea of hell is a very large party in a cold room, where everybody has to play hockey properly”. ![]() ![]() ![]() Only the girl, Joanne Star,k is smarter than any of them realize and has plans of her own. His personal manager, knowing him better than anyone, finds a girl who is Clay's perfect dream woman, hires her to pick him up, make him fall for her, etc (all beknownst to Clay or the other people who work for him) thinking Clay will be wrested from his stupor, get a little life in him and go back to work. ![]() He doesn't have any interests, he can't work, barely eats. Despite the fact that he mainly ignored her during their life together, he's come to realize what a big presence she really was in his home and life. It's a literary novel about Clay Stuart, an aging Hollywood superstar, one of the last of the mega-stars in the same category as Cary Grant, Clark Gable, etc, we're told, whose wife of 25 years passes away. Whittington wrote a lot of things, but primarily, he's known for crime and westerns and Gold Medal-who published many of his works-plays that up by presenting this book as if it's a crime novel. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() A 13-sided regular polygon is called a tridecagon.Since 5 2 + 12 2 = 13 2, (5, 12, 13) forms a Pythagorean triple, and as such represent the sides of a right triangle.There are 13 different ways for the three fastest horses in a horse race to finish, allowing for ties, a fact that can be expressed mathematically by 13 being the third ordered Bell number.The sum and the difference of 2 consecutive squares: 13 = (2 2 + 3 2) = (7 2 - 6 2).The smallest number whose fourth power can be written as a sum of two consecutive square numbers (119 2 + 120 2).A Fibonacci number, preceded by 5 and 8.It is the second Wilson prime, of three known (the others being 5 and 563), and the smallest emirp in decimal. It is a twin prime with 11, as well as a cousin prime with 17. This can be witnessed, for example, in the "Twelve Days of Christmas" of Western European tradition. Strikingly folkloric aspects of the number 13 have been noted in various cultures around the world: one theory is that this is due to the cultures employing lunar-solar calendars (there are approximately 12.41 lunations per solar year, and hence 12 "true months" plus a smaller, and often portentous, thirteenth month). ![]() 13 ( thirteen) is the natural number following 12 and preceding 14. ![]() ![]() I also can't wait to hear what others think about the mural. This novel had been waiting on my shelf for months and I am so glad I waited to return it to the library. ![]() I enjoyed Anna's story more than Morgan's and though the ending was a bit slapdash for me with the sudden revelation of grandparents, babies, and such - overall, Big Lies In A Small Town was a joy to read. It was a sense of understanding and acceptance of their future with this pain. ![]() I liked that Big Lies In A Small Town didn't gloss over the horrors Morgan and Anna received and caused but instead demonstrated how people have the opportunity to find some type of absolution. ![]() They both lived through life-altering circumstances and through the Edenton mural found a sense of ease. Big Lies in a Small Town, by the bestselling author Diane Chamberlain, is an emotional novel about two women connected by a painting that holds many dark. Through painting, they found release and though neither are able to forget the past, the mural provided them the opportunity for it to no longer control them. Coincidental? I think not! Red in the mural was a symbolism for the blood that went into it for both Morgan and Anna. The mural was cathartic for both characters and literally tied them together by blood. ![]() I could not stop thinking about the secrets hidden in the mural. I was bogged down with other work-related things and every moment I was away from this novel, I was eager to get back. Whilst reading Big Lies In A Small Town, I never had the opportunity to sit and read it from cover to cover. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Nevertheless, Nicki insists on having snow-white gloves, and Baba finally agrees to knit them for him. Nicki’s grandmother, Baba, does not want to knit a pair of white mittens for Nicki because it will be very difficult to find the mittens if they are dropped in the snow. Seven-year-old Nicki expresses his desire for a pair of white wool mittens. Narrated in the omniscient third person, the story begins during the snowy wintertime. In 1996, The Mitten was released as a board book. The Mitten has been called “a charming lap book to be pored over again and again” by School Library Journal. These include a mole, rabbit, hedgehog, owl, badger, bear, and mouse, all of which begin to peacefully cohabitate inside the mitten. As Nicki wanders in the snow unaware of his loss, woodland animals take residence inside the mitten one at a time. The story follows seven-year-old Nicki, who accidentally loses one of his white wool mittens in the snow. ![]() A New York Times bestselling children’s book, The Mitten: A Ukrainian Folktale (1989), written and illustrated by American author Jan Brett, is based on an old Ukrainian folktale. ![]() ![]() ![]()
