![]() ![]() ![]() How to Murder Your Life is, in essence, just that. The idea of the good a voice like that could do for the addicted seemed lost. I’ve read thousands of words about beauty products I’ll never use, simply because she is that arresting of a writer. And they did this all the while denying the simple fact that she was not just an addict, but an addict with a voice. Her writing “attracted gallows watchers and pontificators, people eager to degrade or chide her for her actions or utilize her for ethical discussions centered on celebrity culture, confessional writers and our national obsession with the tragic,” I wrote. The whole thing seemed so evil I was moved to write an op-ed for The Myrtle Beach Sun News, defending her as a gifted writer, something ridiculous when the writer in question has signed a lucrative deal with a major New York house and something like “talent” is usually beyond reproach. ![]() Her main condition, the least pitied of all pathologies, is addiction. The entire saga was laced with hatred, because although Marnell was achieving media success directly because of her sickness, she was not afflicted with something relatable like cancer. ![]() Yellow headlines blared-even a publication as august as The Atlantic couldn’t resist running the headline, “Cat Marnell’s Book Deal Could Buy a Lot of Drugs.” Then the book proposal’s contents were leaked, leading to ridicule and Marnell’s all-caps Twitter declaration that she hates herself more than we hate her. Press surrounding Cat Marnell’s book deal was dripping with venom. ![]()

Isabel insists, on the other hand, that the man who fell from the balcony entered her “moral space”-and that she therefore has a moral obligation to him.

Mid-Nite, “Clock,” or Hourman, and “Mister Terrific” Terry Sloane. The villains aren’t ones associated with the team, and of the four main heroes, only three are really JSAers – “Owl,” aka Dr. While it is undoubtedly an engaging story that looks absolutely gorgeous, it is, at best, only half a JSA story. ![]() “The Liberty File,” the first of these minis, is in many ways the middle ground between the two series that follows. Here, the JSA, Batman, and others are all reimagined as players in the battle against the Nazis, government agents instead of vigilantes. That is certainly the case for Tony Harris, the connective tissue between the three miniseries that fall under the ‘Liberty Files’ heading.

While these books let teens see themselves represented in literature, the inclusion of tropes lets teens see themselves as part of literature.ĭiverse books that feature tropes show that diversity isn't "just a trend" because they're not segregated to a "diverse book" category-they're integrated by subject and content. Looking at representation in YA over the past few years reveals how diversity in authorship and within books has increased, thanks to organizations like We Need Diverse Books.

Bryson also aims to demonstrate how scientific progress is hindered by prejudices like patriarchal values and religious biases. ![]() His aim is to show that scientific discovery is in its very early stages (despite how often scientists declare otherwise), as well as to show that clear, accessible expression and classification are essential to the scientific endeavor. To make this story more engaging for laypeople, Bryson invokes frequent humorous biographical anecdotes about the scientists he addresses, and he avoids technical jargon, favoring visual metaphors instead. ![]() In the book, Bryson explores scientific discovery in a range of scientific areas, but especially in physics, biology, chemistry, geology, meteorology, astronomy, oceanography, and paleontology. The result is the narrative he tells in A Short History of Everything. To remedy this, he starts learning about the history of scientific discovery because he’s curious about how scientists come to know what they know. Bryson feels that he knows very little about science, primarily because he found science textbooks so dull and technical as a child.
