![]() ![]() In the beginning of the novel, all she wants to do is write something that matters, however, it’s not going the way she envisions. I felt such a connection to Gellhorn and her need to have a voice and her writing taken seriously. She paved the way for female reporters who followed and is an inspiration to countless people and probably even more so when they read this book. Gellhorn is a fiercely independent, ambitious young woman who would become one of the greatest war correspondents of the twentieth century. While his actions impact their lives, the stories still felt like theirs. But in McLain’s previous work The Paris Wife and now Love and Ruin, McLain does an admirable job of focusing on the women in his life and he’s a secondary character. He’s a larger than life figure, some of the truths in his life seem fictional. While I enjoy tales about Ernest Hemingway, there’s always a bit of concern if he will overpower a story. ![]()

![]() She admits her mistakes and states what she should have done or said with no excuses. Albright is tougher on herself than on other people. In fact, I enjoy reading about an event from various people’s viewpoints, which means I read a lot of memoirs. What I like about reading a memoir is learning about an event from their viewpoint.

I had been examining the books she had written and realized I had not read her most important memoir of her time a Secretary of State.

From William Shakespeare to Maya Angelou, Emily Dickinson, Sylvia Plath, T. When you’re an English student, not only are you constantly exposed to poetry written prior to the 21 st century, but you’re also exposed to ones hailed as the greatest of the greatest. My problem with this collection is how literal it is (clear examples would be ‘fresh’, ‘by the time we are seven’ and ‘circumstances’), though the ‘literal-ness’ does work at times (like in ‘i will break your hand, do not ever touch me | every time you touch my hair my ancestors place a curse on you’ and ‘dowry’). ![]() is not the way the poems have been written, though I do admit that the constant periods annoyed me for a few pages (writing style, I’ve contributed this to that since artists have their distinct styles-and my own Creative Writing lecturer goes on and on about finding one’s own unique writing style as well).

Fifty years later, the book has sold upwards of 15 million copies, become a steady feature on middle school reading lists, inspired a Francis Ford Coppola film of the same name and helped shape an entire literary genre marketed to young adults. But it was a hit with teenagers across the country. ![]() Hinton’s novel, which describes in gritty detail the ongoing gang warfare between the lower-class Greasers and the well-to-do Socials, didn’t have much to do with romance or horses, unless you count her protagonist, the 14-year-old Greaser Ponyboy Curtis. “In the fiction they write, romance is still the most popular theme, with a horse-and-the-girl-who-loved-it coming in a close second.” “The authors of books for teen-agers are still 15 years behind the times,” she wrote in an op-ed for The New York Times. Most of the literature handed down for high school students to read had, in Hinton’s estimation, nothing to do with the lived experiences of teenagers in her hometown of Tulsa, Oklahoma. ![]() Hinton published The Outsiders in 1967, a novel she began writing at age 15 and sold at 17, the idea of a teenager writing fiction for her peers was a novelty. ![]() ![]() These essays, nine in number, representative of his contributions in threeįields of learning, have been chosen from the larger collection entitled Selected Writings of Edward Sapir in Language, Culture, and Personality published in 1949 by the University of California Press.
