Known as "The Mayor of Castro Street" even before he was elected to the San Francisco Board of Supervisors, Harvey Milk’s personal and political life is a story full of personal tragedies and political intrigues, assassinations at City Hall, massive riots in the streets, the miscarriage of justice, and the consolidation of gay power and gay hope. The Mayor of Castro Street is Shilts’s acclaimed story of Harvey Milk, the man whose personal life, public career, and tragic assassination mirrored the dramatic and unprecedented emergence of the gay community in America during the 1970s. Osborne used them as a cover for his money-making murder scheme, anonymously sending his clients instructions to visit The Pale Horse and ask for the fortune to be told of the person they wanted dead. If you mean did those three women actually curse any of the list victims to death (possibly Mark aside), then no, that was all Osborne’s doing. If the three women really do have supernatural powers, perhaps they ‘saw’ that memory too, and got rid of him themselves or also told Hermia that Mark was responsible for Delphine’s death. After Mark pays the witches to curse Hermia and Lejeune, they tell him to close his eyes, and we’re shown his memory of having jealously killed Delphine and covered it up. There’s an extra possibility too, depending on what you believe. When the ‘witches’ came to visit her in hospital, off-screen they told her that Mark had hired them to kill her (giving her “I just woke up” comment to the nurse a double meaning as she’d literally awoken from her coma and also from her illusions about Mark, the man she’d loved for years.) The Mark we saw at the end was therefore in the afterlife and trapped in a kind of hell or purgatory where he was being punished for his guilt. Either the Thallium poisoning killed him (though Osborne told him that he’d be fine as he hadn’t intended to murder him with it, just fuel his paranoia), or the witches were real and actually did curse him to death, or (the preferred choice) he was killed by Hermia. Much better is the suggestion that Mark really did die in his apartment, as reported in the paper.

Writer and fervent anti-fascist Alvah Bessie almost didn’t - he would later be politically scourged as a member of The Hollywood Ten. As defeat looms, German officers, crooks, fugitives and ordinary citizens fumble for a way to survive. Nothing ever happens.” That’s a paraphrase from 1932’s Grand Hotel, indicating that the hallowed halls once occupied by Greta Garbo are now overrun with Warner Bros. This Atlantic history of war brings the interconnectedness of Africa, the colonial Americas, and Europe into sharper focus. Generally, Brown's purpose is to bring Africa into focus as an integral part in the development of European Atlantic empires, and to show the way wars for enslavement stretched throughout the Atlantic region to morph into race war on plantations and wars for imperial dominance. These included "an extension of African wars" that continued in the colonies after the forced migration of enslaved people "a race war" as white and black people came into conflict on plantations an internal conflict among black Jamaicans and "one of the hardest-fought battles" of the Seven Years' War (7). Furthermore, he argues that Tacky's revolt in Jamaica was simultaneously part of four conflicts. In Tacky's Revolt, Vincent Brown asserts that slave revolts were "viewed as war" (5). In retaliation, Jessie sets up her own lemonade stand, and gets a friend, Megan, to help out. As payback, he makes a lemonade stand with his friend Scott, rudely rebuffing Jessie. Jessie is excited about moving up, but Evan is irritated because his sister is good at math and is worried she might embarrass him. It is revealed he is annoyed about a letter notifying their mother that Jessie is skipping third grade to be in Evan's fourth grade class. The book begins with Evan in his parents' basement, avoiding his younger sister, Jessie. It is the first of the Lemonade War series.

Vanessa Bell’s design for the novel’s original dust jacket In asking us to empathize with Clarissa even while she shows us that Clarissa is a shallow, silly woman who has little to show for her fifty-two years, Woolf returns to all she rejected and finds the possibility that even the people she most rebelled against have souls, have regrets, and have ways of living with courage in spite of it all. Dalloway represents the world that Woolf’s mother (who died when Woolf was just thirteen) imagined for her, a conservative, social world that Woolf left behind for art, feminism, and Bloomsbury. Dalloway, but it’s more accurate to say that Mrs. Some people confuse Virginia Woolf with Mrs. If most of us need flowers, there is no one to tell Mrs. Dalloway said she would buy the flowers herself.’ - we know we are with a married woman who is rich enough to have people around her to do errands for her.

It tells the parallel stories of Clarissa Dalloway, who is throwing a party, and Septimus Warren Smith, a shell-shocked World War One veteran. Dalloway, published in 1925, is set on a single day in London in June 1923. This article was first posted at The Awl and is reposted here with the author’s kind permission.

"I predicted that blocking would be our trickiest task, striving to communicate Helen's deaf and blind character without falling into a comedic rhythm … it was daunting, and our cast has done such a phenomenal job at bringing out the misery of Helen, the frustration of the Kellers and the liberation of Annie's 'miracle.'" "We had to creatively work the script to reflect our female-heavy cast, but it unfolded seamlessly," Shaw said. There were several challenges of "The Miracle Worker" at Westminster - the initial roadblock was casting a production of four to five male leads with not enough boys auditioning. "It has been a challenging undertaking, but our select 12-student cast is doing an exceptional job at bringing it to life." "This production features stage combat (a technique to create the illusion of physical combat without causing harm to the performers), sign language and relational depth," she added. |
