Ollie has no intention of pining after a guy who clearly isn't ready for a relationship, especially since this new, bro-y jock version of Will seems to go from hot to cold every other week. This Will is a class clown, closeted-and, to be honest, a bit of a jerk. Which he minds a little less when he realizes it's the same school Will goes to.except Ollie finds that the sweet, comfortably queer guy he knew from summer isn't the same one attending Collinswood High. Now Ollie is one prince short of his fairytale ending, and to complicate the fairytale further, a family emergency sees Ollie uprooted and enrolled at a new school across the country. Will Tavares is the dream summer fling-he's fun, affectionate, kind-but just when Ollie thinks he's found his Happily Ever After, summer vacation ends and Will stops texting Ollie back. "A delightful, heartwarming, heartrending story about family, love, friendship, and living your most authentic life. Is the kind of book I wish existed when my kids were younger-a charming, funny, laugh-out-loud teen romance that reminds all readers love comes in a multitude of flavors, and they are ALL sweet." -Jodi Picoult, A Junior Library Guild Gold Standard Selection

Immerse yourself in Laura Ingalls Wilder's beloved Little House series, now featuring Garth Williams' classic art in vibrant full-color The Ingalls family has seen both joy and hardship since the end of On the Banks of Plum Creek. Dolph didn't use the word "friend" lightly, so I knew they were close. They'd played football in college together, and been friends ever since. McKinnon had been recommended to me by Sergeant Rudolph Storr, cop and friend. I was shopping for midriff tops to show off my back scars. Everyone else was bringing sweaters to work. He'd turned the air conditioner up a little colder every day. I hadn't worn a long-sleeved blouse since he made the request. He said that some clients had expressed reservations about my ah. Bert, my boss, had requested that I wear my suit jacket or long-sleeved blouses in the office. There were one or two other scars hidden under my blouse, but the arm really is the worst. There was a cross-shaped burn mark, a little crooked now because of the ragged claw marks that a shapeshifted witch had given me. I'd have to lift weights for the rest of my life or the scars would stiffen and I'd lose mobility in the arm, or so my physical therapist had said. A mound of white scar tissue sat at the bend of my arm. My right arm had been sliced open twice by a knife. He was staring at the scars and didn't seem a bit embarrassed about it. Captain Pete McKinnon, firefighter and arson investigator, sat across from me, big hands wrapped around a glass of iced tea that our secretary, Mary, had brought in for him. The wounds aren't like freak show bad, but they are interesting. You know, the quick look, then drop the gaze, then just have to have that second look. They'll look, of course, then do the eye slide. Using ration to meet end goals, face challenges on the way, decide between alternatives, and feel certain emotions, are just some of the characteristics of a rational being. Rationality by Steven Pinker delves deep into the philosophy of being and what it means to be a human. Give an animal a hard time finding their favorite toy by covering it or obviously hiding it under something, and they can’t wrap their head around it. We can use our mind to change circumstances and attain our desired outcome. Unlike animals, humans can see beyond the obstacles that they face, and not just from a metaphorical point of view. In other words, rationality is what sets us apart from all other species.īeing a rational being implies using your consciousness to overcome obstacles and challenges, among others. But what does this concept truly mean? Philosophers and scientists have tried restlessly to come up with a viable explanation of what being a human means, and the common conception revolves around having ration at the core of our being. Rationality comes from the latin word “ratio”, which means reason. 1-Sentence-Summary: Rationality explores the concept of ration as the pylon of all human progress and how it sets us apart from all other species, helping us evolve and developing societal layers, rules of conduct, and moral grounds for all our endeavors in life. When we find out he's actually been Rachelle's forestborn who turned her into a bloodhound I WAS SHOCKED. And I'm sorry about this but he's just one those characters that you want to hate but you loved instead (hello Aaron Warner anyone? AND WE ALL KNOW HOW THAT TURNED OUT). "Erec could use the power of the forest to make himself perfect and she never could." Because of this she is weaker than Erec and can never defeat him. Unlike Erec who fully embraces the Forest and the evilness that surrounds them, Rachelle refuses to do this. She rather kill herself before she turns forestborn than continue living. While most humans who become bloodbound welcome the change and want to kill and eventually become fully forestborn, Rachelle does not want this. Rachelle was a great heroine and her constant struggle of accepting herself was interesting to watch. I really just loved everything about it, especially the characters. However, I must mention it is very light on the retelling of LRRH, I found that Hodge used a few pieces from the fairy tale and the rest was very much original and I loved it. This is the second book by Rosamund Hodge that I've read! Her first book, Cruel Beauty, is a retelling of Beauty and the Beast while this book is a retelling of Little Red Riding Hood. In the 1989 study, Dettwyler also examined for the first time whether intestinal parasites contributed to poor growth in Malian children. Her questions included: Did malnourished children catch up in growth and did this happen in middle or late childhood? Were severely malnourished children permanently affected? Had any children from the first study died? Did the best nourished children in her first study continue to be taller and heavier and did they survive better than less well nourished children or became more malnourished in later childhood? Why, with malnutrition and poor growth common in childhood, were so many Malians were tall and well built? The author also wanted to visit new families and acquire data on them, as well as conducting detailed interviews about infant feeding beliefs and practices. What were the author's research questions?ĭuring 1989, the author wanted to follow up on children from her research in 1981-1983 to compare their growth and nutritional status between studies. It charts events in the book and aspects of the work of this physical anthropologist in the field of child nutrition in Mali during 1989 as an assistant professor of nutritional anthropology.ĭiscussion questions on Dancing Skeletons - Life and Death in West Africa This paper reviews the book Dancing Skeletons - Life and Death in West Africa by Katherine A Dettwyler.
