These are the people, she writes, who do most of the dirty work and decision-making that goes into maintaining America’s systems of power. In “Mediocre: The Dangerous Legacy of White Male America,” Ijeoma Oluo punches up rather than down, reckoning culturally, politically and historically with white men. Where white women voters caught hell, the 62 percent of white men who voted for Trump were offered what the feminist philosopher Kate Manne has called “ himpathy.” The 47 percent of white women who voted for Donald Trump in 2016 bore the brunt of liberal ire for their support of a man accused of sexual misconduct including rape. MEDIOCRE The Dangerous Legacy of White Male America By Ijeoma Oluo “Lizzy, are you all right?” Josh sounded wary. “Thank you, mother,” she breathed, her eyes closing as she let the power do its work. Lizzy stood bathed in moonlight, the lace of the curtains fracturing the beam, and the power of the moon goddess entered her strengthening her will. The storm clouds scurried across the moon, the sky cleared and a shaft of moonlight shone through the kitchen window. He looked at her without answering and a strong gust of wind rattled the kitchen windows. “Have you felt your Aunt Helen’s presence?” “You’ve been here for a week, haven’t you Josh?” she asked softly. She was silent as she gathered her thoughts. “Give me a break,” he said, running his fingers through his shaggy hair. “If you had asked me that a couple of days ago I would have said you were crazy, but honestly now I don’t know.” “Do you believe in ghosts, Josh?” she asked quietly. Then at the end she likes California because she meets new friends, begins work she enjoys and she chooses to stay there rather than going home. Lucy changes from the beginning of the book to the end because at first when she moves to California, she does not like it she doesn’t like it because it’s dirty, there are strangers, no Gram and Grampop and it is far from home. She does not like doing that stuff and, because she always complains about it and does not work hard, her mom is hard on her. Lucy also has to work by hunting and cooking. At first, Lucy misses her dead pa, her home in Massachusetts and has conflict with her mama who always works because she houses gold miners. In the beginning of the book, Lucy is 12 years old but at the end she is 14 or 15. The main character of the book is a girl named California Morning Whipple who changes her name to Lucy. Lucy tries to raise money to go back to her home, but then she starts to like Lucky Diggins (the place in California where they were staying).

A Report on Karen Cushman’s The Ballad of Lucy Whipple Then a chapter or two focus on Anastasia. One chapter is about Anna, the next is Anna but one year earlier. Her uncanny resemblance to Anastasia was just the beginning of many decades of mystery about her true identity.Īuthor Lawhon put her readers in the front seat of a roller coaster that doesn’t know which way to turn. Anderson was pulled from a Berlin river in 1920. But Lawhon blends the before and after stories together by concurrently telling Anna Anderson’s story. It’s impossible not to anticipate the heart wrenching end of the Romanov family. Lawhon follows the dramatic change in status, while also revealing Anastasia’s impish and spirited personality. That is, until the Russian Revolution happened in 1918. She and her siblings lived a privileged life with tutors, jewels, and Imperial palaces. Both are real people, with well-documented stories, despite having occurred during the twentieth century.Īnastasia was the fourth daughter of the last Russian Tsar, Nicholas II. Lawhon tells the first-person narrative of Grand Duchess Anastasia Romanov, but mixes it in with a third-person narrative of Anna Anderson. You start with the edges and work your way back towards the middle. Reading I Was Anastasia by Ariel Lawhon is a bit like putting a jigsaw puzzle together. ‘Looking for Alaska’ entails the story of Miles Halter or Pudge as his friends call him, and his journey in a new high-school. It is funny, sad, exciting and heart-breaking, all at the same time. It makes you happy and sad at the same time and leaves you feeling unsettled yet content at its ending.Īnyone who has read John Green before knows that his novels are an emotional roller coaster but ‘Looking for Alaska’ is something else. Encapsulating the whole high-school experience, it makes its readers feel things ever so personally.

Mi-ja is the daughter of a Japanese collaborator, and she will forever be marked by this association. Throughout this time, the residents of Jeju find themselves caught between warring empires. Despite their love for each other, Mi-ja and Young-sook's differences are impossible to ignore. The Island of Sea Women is an epic set over many decades, beginning during a period of Japanese colonialism in the 1930s and 1940s, followed by World War II, the Korean War and its aftermath, through the era of cell phones and wetsuits for the women divers.

When they are old enough, they begin working in the sea with their village's all-female diving collective, led by Young-sook's mother.
