Charlie also wants to have a normal life, which she lives as Charlotte attending public high school (a rarity for top-level gymnasts). Charlie wants to make the Olympics, it has been her goal since childhood, and the Olympic trials are only a few weeks away. Sonnichsen is the fun-filled story of Olympic hopeful gymnast Charlie Ryland, and her alter-ego Charlotte. If you like gymnastics (even as sparingly as I do) you’ll have to check these out. There have been some fun and interesting gymnastic-focused sports novels that have come out this summer. This year my enjoyment of Olympic gymnastics is able to go beyond a few hours in front of the television and into my reading time. I don’t know a lot about gymnastics, and I don’t follow it very much in non-Olympic years, but I still enjoy it. One my favorite summer Olympic sports to watch is gymnastics. The Olympics are always an exciting event.

There are no reliable sources for the life of Aeschylus. The war was so important to Greeks and to Aeschylus himself that, upon his death around 456 BC, his epitaph included a reference to his participation in the Greek victory at Marathon but not to his success as a playwright. His play The Persians remains a good primary source of information about this period in Greek history. Unfortunately, only seven of an estimated 70 plays by Aeschylus have survived into modern times one of these plays, Prometheus Bound, is sometimes thought not to be the work of Aeschylus.Īt least one of Aeschylus's works was influenced by the Persian invasion of Greece, which took place during his lifetime. According to Aristotle, he expanded the number of characters in plays to allow for conflict among them previously, characters interacted only with the chorus. He is the earliest of the three Greek tragedians whose plays survive extant, the others being Sophocles and Euripides.

"I use history in the service of fiction. "History can't belong to anybody," Anita Shreve told a documentary filmmaker after the publication of Weight of Water. Her characters, she says, "are either the product of the author's imagination or, if real, are used fictitiously." In other words, even the historical characters in the novel might say and do things they never did in real life. In a brief introductory note to Weight of Water, the author alerts readers that passages are "taken verbatim" from the 1873 Wagner trial transcript. “We were lost in the fog" she recalls, "and in that dramatic way that fog lifts, all of a sudden there they were." Inspired by the tale of the Smuttynose murders, she initially wrote a six-page short story that later became the bestselling novel Weight of Water (1996). Massachusetts novelist Anita Shreve first "discovered" the Isles of Shoals while sailing off coastal New England in the 1970s. Mainly because a) I have mentioned a lot of times on my blog that Shatter Me is one of my favourite YA fantasy novels of all time and b) Restore Me has received an overwhelmingly positive response. With this book though, I felt the need to put up a disclaimer. I have never put a disclaimer before any single review I’ve posted because my opinions are mine alone and I’m entitled to have them. I’m going to put a disclaimer here: I have read and loved the original Shatter Me (Shatter Me, Unravel Me, Ignite Me) trilogy and it is possible for a person to change his/her opinion on books/series at any point of time. When tragedy hits, who will she become? Will she be able to control the power she wields and use it for good?

Ned excels in school and learns English, yet he and some other students secretly speak and retain their knowledge of the Navajo language.

At school, the teachers essentially stripped American Indian children of their tribal ways and forced to abandon their language and culture in favor of adopting Anglo-American ways which included being punished for speaking in their native tongue.
