![]() ![]() Shakespeare's tragedy Romeo and Juliet takes place in Verona, Italy, where the houses of Capulet and Montague are in conflict. It's also worth checking out the 1961 musical film West Side Story, which was based on this timeless play. ![]() A much more modern and artful, but brutal, film starring Claire Danes and Leonardo DiCaprio was well received when it came out in 1996. Director Franco Zeffirelli's beautiful 1968 film version is very true to the play, and well worth seeing. ![]() Romeo and Juliet includes little inappropriate sexual content or profanity, but there are a few very violent scenes in which major characters are run through with swords. Shakespearean language can be challenging to read, especially at first, and newcomers would do best with a well-annotated edition that explains difficult words and constructions. It's a tragic, romantic story about two young lovers who get caught in the crossfire of their parents' conflict. Parents need to know that Romeo and Juliet is often the first Shakespeare play that middle- or high-school students read.

And some of them are practically her age! ![]() She sees evidence everywhere-on TV, in magazines, and even in her classroom. She’s ordinary for her school, for her town, for even the whole wide world, it seems.īut everyone else? They’re remarkable. Can average be amazing? A girl challenges herself to become extraordinary in the latest from bestselling author Andrew Clements. ![]() ![]() The main plot of the story follows several characters as they try to uncover the cryptic nature of the Cthulhu cult, which is discovered amidst a frenzy of worldwide hysteria. It is described as "a monster of vaguely anthropoid outline, but with an octopus-like head whose face was a mass of feelers, a scaly, rubbery-looking body, prodigious claws on hind and fore feet, and long, narrow wings behind." ![]() While Cthulhu is a character, it's only hinted at: it is the lord of R'lyeh, an ancient being from the depths of space that came hundreds of millions of years ago to destroy the elder beings of our world. Written in documentary style, it contains three narratives that are discovered as notes left by a deceased relative. ![]() Lovecraft during the summer of 1926, which was published in Weird Tales in 1928. ![]() The Call of Cthulhu is a short story written by H. ![]() ![]() "Our goal is to delve into the neglected corners of DC with this new group of titles, from the JSA to the Legion, and all those who operate between. "I'm happy to be writing these two titles, each one of them focused on celebrating and expanding the history (and far future) of heroism in the DC Universe, exploring unseen heroes, villains and adventures alongside the ones we all know and love," Johns said. In a press release, Johns said that the goal of these new titles and stories is to "delve into neglected corners of DC." Johns is also the co-creator of Stargirl, a character inspired by John's late sister. The one-shot will "unlock DC's epic and secret-ridden history of heroism" as it launches the new JSA and Stargirl titles.įor Johns, the Justice Society of America is rich and familiar territory having an extensive history writing the team in the early 2000s. ![]() ![]() ![]() The New Golden age will come from the aftermath of Flashpoint Beyond and will see the heroes of the original Golden Age - as well as the villains - have their lives turned upside down spanning not just the past but into the far future as well. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Her first person narrative is sharp and savvy and altogether winning. I couldn't have said it better if I tried, but that's the point thirty-four year-old, currently unemployed Thai journalist Jimm Juree says everything better than I could - even on my best days - and notably better than many of her fictional counterparts in the humorous novel arena. Bush in 2004 in which he said, ".free societies will be allies against these hateful few who have no conscience, who kill at the whim of a hat." Clearly Cotterill is a fan of the volume of malapropisms that has come to be known as "George Bushisms." This particular gem, as explained by protagonist Jimmy Juree, is where Bush had "fallen off the edge of the teleprompter again and he was caught somewhere between 'on a whim' and 'at the drop of a hat' and ended up with terrorists killing one another." To begin at the top, the book's title is from a speech given by George W. ![]() ![]() So much so that while reading it I stopped several times to recite passages aloud to my husband. In varying degrees, everybody and everything is fair game. The first novel in a humorous crime series set in ThailandĬotterill's wry, irreverent sense of humor is a drone missile that quietly cruises from page to page, taking no prisoners. ![]() ![]() It was possible for him to spare a few days to do the prologue, but not the full length of time it would have taken for him to do the full episode. He’s deep in the middle of making Crimson Peak. Guillermo is extremely busy and it just wasn’t possible for him to do the entire episode with all the things he’s doing. Why not have Guillermo direct the whole episode? And then we transitioned into the rest of the episode, which was very nicely directed by Gregory Hoblit. We’re telling this epic story and to start with this epic historical prologue, as directed by Guillermo del Toro, was the best way to come out of the gate. It contextualizes everything that’s going to happen this year - and it actually has more relevance than you will be aware of in the first episode. We thought it would just be cool to save that critical piece of mythology, and it felt like the start of the second season was the perfect place for it. ![]() We held that very purposefully from the first season. What’s the allure of starting season two with this prologue? To get the scoop on crafting the prologue, whether the group was able to harm the Master in the cliffhanger season finale and to preview this year’s body count, The Hollywood Reporter caught up with showrunner Carlton Cuse. ![]() ![]() ![]() It is a riveting saga populated by singular characters: Henry Knox, the former bookseller with an uncanny understanding of how best to deploy artillery Nathaniel Greene, the blue-eyed bumpkin who becomes one of America's greatest battle captains Benjamin Franklin, the self-made man who proves himself the nation's greatest diplomat George Washington, the commander-in-chief who learns the difficult art of leadership amid the fire and smoke of the battlefield. ![]() From the battles at Lexington and Concord in spring 1775 to those at Trenton and Princeton in winter 1777, the ragtag Continental Army takes on the world's most formidable fighting force and gradually finds the will and the way to win.

It will become a niche passion, enjoyed by a shrinking caste of connoisseurs trained to slow their minds and absorb long, twisting chunks of narrative. As the age of zombie swiping runs its course, the novel will follow the fate of verse. This decline, according to some publishers and bookstore owners, is a harbinger. It turned out that the poem required sharper focus than a television audience could sustain and more patience than modernity would permit. ![]() I have a fear stoked by a doomsaying prophecy about the future of reading: A century ago or so, poetry was a fixture of everyday life, enjoyed by everyday people. I was warding off the possibility of mental deterioration. What I didn’t say is that I was also positioning myself like a senior citizen hunched over the crossword. My purpose, when I explained it to my wife and kids a few hours before midnight, was to ritualistically remind myself of emotions other than those triggered by the front page. My self-improvement project for the year was to read a fresh poem every morning, before glimpsing the accumulation of unresponded email and lifting the lid off Twitter. I can say definitively now that I faltered in pursuit of my New Year’s resolution. ![]() ![]() ![]() Asked him to put some aside for you, too.” You mean the real stuff?” Jia’s eyes go wide. ![]() “And, did you hear they brought in chocolate?” She’s too far away to hear me, but she smiles back all the same. “Bree’s got connections,” I shrug, winking at the cafe’s manager, who’s standing behind the counter. The Earth shipments are usually too full to take luxury items on board.” “I can’t believe they got some in at this time of year. “This is heaven,” she sighs, taking a slow sip. I glance across at my friend Jia, who’s also savoring her coffee. Here on Fortuna Tau, luxuries like coffee are a rarity. ![]() I sip on my expensive imported coffee, inhaling its comforting aroma. There’s movement below me as processed Armium metal is loaded onto a freighter bound for Earth. I’m sitting in one of the window booths of the Meteorites Café, staring out through the thick glass. ![]() |
