![]() ![]() ![]() In a few terrifying hours, the hopes of the pioneers had been blasted by the bitter realities of their harsh environment. Temperatures plunged as an unprecedented cold front ripped through the center of the continent.īy Friday morning, January 13, some five hundred people lay dead on the drifted prairie, many of them children who had perished on their way home from country schools. One moment the air was calm the next the sky exploded in a raging chaos of horizontal snow and hurricane-force winds. But that afternoon, without warning, the atmosphere suddenly, violently changed. January 12, 1888, began as an unseasonably warm morning across Nebraska, the Dakotas, and Minnesota, the weather so mild that children walked to school without coats and gloves. The gripping story of an epic prairie snowstorm that killed hundreds of newly arrived settlers and cast a shadow on the promise of the American frontier. A masterful portrait of a tragic crucible in the settlement of the American heartland - the 'Children's Blizzard' of 1888. ![]()

Ideologues are people who pretend they know how to “make the world a better place” before they’ve taken care of their own chaos within. Ideologies are simple ideas, disguised as science or philosophy, that purport to explain the complexity of the world and offer remedies that will perfect it. These paintings provided a visitor with the first window onto the full extent of Jordan’s concern about our human capacity for evil in the name of good, and the psychological mystery of self-deception (how can a person deceive himself and get away with it?)-an interest we share. The paintings were not there because Jordan had any totalitarian sympathies, but because he wanted to remind himself of something he knew he and everyone would rather forget: that over a hundred million people were murdered in the name of utopia. Paintings lionizing the Soviet revolutionary spirit completely filled every single wall, the ceilings, even the bathrooms. Not long after the Soviet Union fell, and most of the world breathed a sigh of relief, Peterson began purchasing this propaganda for a song online.

Sixpence was the smallest unit of silver in England at that time. There is a deeper reason why Maugham is writing this way: the virtual satisfaction of Maugham’s ego. Compared with Gauguin’s departure, Strickland’s departure is completely out of line with the logic of reality and is even more incomprehensible to the reader. In addition to the author’s use of fictional plots and narrative techniques, he has created a so-called pure sense of the artist who is unworldly. But Strickland’s departure is very abrupt and too intense. By comparing novels with reality, we can find that Gauguin’s pursuit of painting has its causal relationship and process development. For the next decade, Gauguin thought he would finally be able to enjoy the fruits of his success and reunite the family. Maugham’s novel The Moon and Sixpence, inspired by Gauguin, was undoubtedly more fiction than fact. The escapist theme revealed by the novel coincided with the pursuit of many people in the West and became a popular novel in the 20th century. In his novels, Maugham deeply discusses the contradiction and interaction between life and art. ![]() ![]() ![]() "The funny narration is in Julia's rambling, middle-school voice, which allows readers to experience her emotions and maturation with her. a jubilant story about the way a new context can give kids a whole different perspective on life and themselves, and readers feeling stuck in their roles will particularly appreciate the implication."- BCCB "A joy to read."- School Library Connection A narrative filled with lighthearted and candid moments." - Publishers Weekly ![]() "Sloan again captures the authentic voice of a child dealing with weighty topics, including loss and identity, in a charming and often funny way.
