'It has the thoroughness of a history book yet reads with the personalized vision of a novel.' Time Chester Brown reinvents the comic-book medium to create the critically acclaimed historical biography Louis Riel, winning the Harvey Awards for best writing and best graphic novel for his compelling, meticulous, and dispassionate retelling of the charismatic, and perhaps insane, nineteenth. In class today Louis Riel was brought up again, and I thought it might finally be time to reveal my strange edition of Riel history. One of the most important points to Louis Riel in the novel were the political and social rights of the Metis, and the discrimination against the French. ![]()

5/21/2023 0 Comments One moment one morning book![]() ![]() I did my fifty pages test - and stuck with it as long as I could take it. It was an eccentric, whimsical novel that I loved back then - but the sequel was leaving me cold. A sequel to a fantasy novel I read twenty years ago. I tried to get into one of the books on my pile that's been waiting a hugely long time for my attention. But I'm just going to have to get used to that. Strange being there, without Fester in his wickerwork chair, or hopping over to sit or lie on me as I read. It was warm enough on Saturday to sit in the Beach House to read, for longer than an hour. It looks like I might have to reread *all* of his books now, before getting to the new one. There's a gallows humour in everything that he does, of course, but on this revisit I was really struck by the sadness of the family stories especially. On rereading it seemed so much more serious and sour than before. David Sedaris' 'Naked' was a real treat to return to, twelve or some years after I first read it. Last week I piled up those TBRs - and flung myself into some comfort reading. ![]() It's been a good time for burying myself in work - and also for reading. ![]() 5/21/2023 0 Comments The book with no pictures videos![]() We brainstorm ideas together as we come up with what we want to include in our letter. I model how I would think about what I want to write. We work together to write her a letter on chart paper. The kids LOVE it!Īfter reading the book to the students, we decide together that we want to try and “trick” our principal into reading it aloud to us. EVER! Ok, I may say that about a lot of books, but this one is seriously amazing! It’s such a simple concept, but it’s genius. I start out by reading the book, The Book with No Pictures. ![]() This is one of my favorite activities to do during the first couple weeks of school. You can model the writing process and still allow the students to be active participants. ![]() Allowing your students to “share the pen” with you has so many benefits. Interactive writing is an amazing way to get your students involved in the writing process at the beginning of the school year. ![]() 5/21/2023 0 Comments Heartwood hotel a true home![]() ![]() ![]() By doing this, Kallie George makes A True Home a suitable read-aloud for younger children who will easily be able to imagine the Hotel with its miscellaneous accommodations (including the root floors with hibernation suites, trunk floors, branch floors, twig floors and honeymoon and penthouse suites) and star-gazing balcony and ballroom. But even the wolves, though frightening to many of the residents at the Heartwood Hotel, have an inane quality about them, squabbling about their achievements and the existence of the Heartwood Hotel. ![]() That majestic tree's hotel is built upon a solid foundation of respect for all creatures and the natural world of interrelationships, though as in the human world some need to be avoided if one is to survive. ![]() How do I convey to readers the infinite sweetness and gentility of A True Home?

For instance, Kafka on the Shore (海辺のカフカ, Umibe no Kafuka, 2002) featured a character, Nakata, who can speak to cats while the titular Kafka can’t resist petting cats he passes by. Cats are also a leitmotif in the works of Haruki Murakami, a self-confessed admirer of Sōseki’s prose. One of the earliest and most popular titles that incorporated this seemingly unusual element is Natsume Sōseki’s I Am a Cat ( 吾輩は猫である, Wagahai wa Neko de Aru.) Originally published in 1906, the satirical novel remains an integral part of contemporary Japanese literature. ![]() Cats are prevalent in works of Japanese literature. As one navigates the labyrinth of Japanese literature, one can’t miss out on a surprisingly unexpected element: cats. ![]() 5/21/2023 0 Comments Tal bauer secret service![]() ![]() ![]() I need more stars and I have the world’s biggest book hangover ever.
