![]() ![]() At the beginning, a woman explains her most recent suicide attempt and how she attempts one every ten years. ![]() ![]() Wrapped into this twenty-eight stanza poem, a story of suicide and resurrection is constructed. Written in the last few months before her death, it becomes an insight into her thoughts and feeling during this time period. However, what is presented differs largely from conventional poetry that is normally seen as pleasant with a romantic take. ![]() Lady Lazarus is presented in the mode of poetry like the vast majority of Plath’s other writing. With this in mind, it is still surprising to note the differences between Plath’s novel, The Bell Jar, and one of her well known pieces, Lady Lazarus. Plath decided not to publish her first novel under her true name due to the similarities that can be drawn between her life and the book but also due to the fact that she believed it was not a good representation of her writing. As originally published, The Bell Jar was written by Victoria Lucas who was only a pseudonym concocted by Sylvia herself. Victoria Lucas’s and Sylvia Plath’s writing could not seem any more different from one another but surprisingly, the authors are one in the same. ![]() ![]() ![]() The band grossed over $840 million dollars in concert reciepts between 20, playing to an estimated 10 million fans.

Me Before You tells the story of Louisa Clark, a small-town Brit who, after struggling to find a job, is hired as a caretaker for Will Traynor, a quadriplegic man. Retaining it for the screen would have resulted in another unwelcome entry into the already full cannon of films that include extraneous instances of sexual assault against women. The film, which stars Emilia Clarke and Sam Claflin and opens Friday, June 3, omits a troubling subplot - a rape that seems out of place in an already dark book. But the film version of Jojo Moyes' best-seller, Me Before You, thankfully does so in a way that improves the story. ![]() Very often, film adaptations of popular books exclude beloved plot points or characters, much to the chagrin of devoted fans. ![]() ![]() ![]() In this collection of intertwined essays, she writes about land, heartbreak, and colonization, about life without the escape hatch of intoxication, and about how she became a powerful witch.

Lionel Trilling said of Orwell’s masterpiece “ 1984 is a profound, terrifying, and wholly fascinating book. Together with his beloved Julia, he hazards his life in a deadly match against the powers that be. Upon the death of Old Major, pigs Snowball and Napoleon lead a revolt against Mr. Drawn into a forbidden love affair, Winston finds the courage to join a secret revolutionary organization called The Brotherhood, dedicated to the destruction of the Party.

Winston Smith is a man in grave danger for the simple reason that his memory still functions. In 1984, London is a grim city in the totalitarian state of Oceania where Big Brother is always watching you and the Thought Police can practically read your mind. It is, above all, a way of asserting power.”- The New Yorker ![]() “Orwell saw, to his credit, that the act of falsifying reality is only secondarily a way of changing perceptions.

At this crucial point of the narrative, the beginning of the second half of the epic, which will deal with the Italian phase of Aeneas's adventures, Virgil again invokes Erato, the muse of poetry, whose help he seeks in order to tell the rest of his story. At dawn on the following day, they reach the mouth of the Tiber River and dock their ships. The Trojans then sail north, passing the island of the enchantress Circe.
