Mollie, the young mare, arrives just before the cat, who settles in between Boxer and Clover. A group of motherless ducklings wanders in and Clover, being the motherly type, forms a safe place for them to sit with her leg. Muriel, the white goat, and the donkey Benjamin follow. Hens, pigeons, sheep, and cows arrive, as well as the horses, Boxer and Clover. The first animals to arrive are the three dogs, Bluebell, Jessie, and Pincher, followed by the pigs. He is waiting for his fellow animals in the big barn. Old Major has called the meeting to discuss a strange dream he had the previous night. The moment he is out of sight, they begin to bustle around, preparing themselves for the big meeting that is to take place that night. Jones, the owner of Manor Farm, stumbles drunkenly up to bed as the farm animals wait in still silence.

How does Glaucus change when he becomes a god? Throughout the novel Circe draws distinctions between gods and mortals. How does Circe’s encounter with Prometheus change her? How does it continue to affect her actions? In what way does that theme resonate with Circe’s story? What parts of her experience resonate with modern day challenges that women face?Ī central theme of Homer’s Odyssey is a longing for “nostos”-homecoming. How much did you know about Greek mythology and The Odyssey before you read Circe? Did your knowledge enhance the reading of the story? Why or why not? How did Miller’s interpretation affect that understanding? Did you follow up your reading with any additional research? Which of the characters in Circe were you most interested in learning more about?Ĭirce struggles to find a place for herself as a woman in a man’s world. With an imagination as big as her heart, Ingrid treasures her doting father but begins to plot how she will meet the woman who abandoned her so many years ago. Meanwhile, Zell's nine-year-old neighbor, Ingrid Knox, is learning to cope with the loneliness of growing up without a mother. That is, until she decides to enter the first annual Desserts that Warm the Soul baking contest, hoping to donate the grand prize to Katrina survivors in Nick's memory. She hasn't even turned on her oven because cooking was Nick's chore. But Zell is still unable to enter her attic, which is full of Nick memories. Long enough, according to the grief pamphlets, to have begun to move on with her life. It's been over a year since Nick died tragically during a post-Katrina relief mission in New Orleans. Rose-Ellen ("Zell") Carmichael Roy wears her late husband Nick's camouflage apron even when she's not in the kitchen. Poignant, bittersweet, and strikingly honest, Simply from Scratch is a radiant celebration of friendship and the strength of the human spirit.

Crucially, he did this by referencing scientific papers rather than referencing historical anecdote.īrad Pilon, operating at roughly the same time as Berkhan, released his book Eat, Stop, Eat, a fasting manifesto which explored a lot of the data around fasting. More than anyone, he challenged the status quo of multiple meal feedings being superior to restricted feeding windows. He proposed a 4-hour feeding window.Īfter this, Martin Berkhan, the godfather of intermittent fasting, pioneered a 16/8 Leangains approach to dieting. He built a pseudo-historical thesis on the idea that elite warriors, Roman centurions in particular, subsisted on meagre rations throughout the day and a hearty feast in the evening. But then,Ī man named Ori Hofmekler published his Warrior Diet, which rejected the notion that this was the correct approach. If you went without protein for longer than 3 hours, then unspeakable things would happen to your body as you enter the inner circle of catabolism and experience soul destroying loss of gains. Throughout the 90s, it was a widely held belief that if you wanted to get into shape, then you had to eat 6 meals a day, at regular intervals, to keep the metabolism purring like a well-groomed feline. Thalia blames Percy for this because he tried to fight Thorn alone. However, during their altercation, in which the Hunters of Artemis assisted, Annabeth went missing. Thorn, a manticore, and bring back Bianca and Nico di Angelo to the camp. The novel opens with Sally Jackson driving her son Percy, Thalia Grace, and Annabeth Chase to Westover Hall to find Grover Underwood, a satyr tasked with bringing new demigods back to Camp Half-Blood where they will be safe. This study guide refers to the 2007 edition published by Hyperion, an imprint of the Disney Book Group. In this novel, she embarks on her first quest after coming back. Laying the fleece down at the tree marking the boundary between the camp and the rest of the world, its powers not only restore the tree but also transform Thalia Grace, a daughter of Zeus who had become a part of the tree several years earlier, back into human form. The Titan’s Curse follows The Sea of Monsters, in which Percy went on a quest to retrieve the golden fleece and bring it back to Camp Half-Blood. It's revealing that when it came time to make an American version of Fever Pitch, the fever was switched from Nick Hornby's for Arsenal to a more comprehensible mania for the Red Sox. This is yet another way in which America differs from the rest of the world, where "football" is easily the dominant sport. We always hear how soccer is about to break out, but it never does. Nor has soccer fared any better in America since. But when they unceremoniously dumped Messing and later it got hard to keep decent players in the States the team and the league quickly lost what fans they had. And that's very much what the crowds were like-an ethnic mix rooting according to the country of origin of each player, not for the team. I used to like to go and sit with the Yugoslavian fans and cheer for Vito Dimitrijevic and against Chinaglia. After Pele retired the team's most prolific scorer was Giorgio Chinaglia, who was so selfish and played so little defense that only the Italian fans at the game rooted for him. When I was in high school the NASL (North American Soccer League) started up and our local team, the New York Cosmos, famously brought in such international stars as Pele, Franz Beckenbauer and others, along with the brash young American goalie, Shep Messing, offering a new enough and buzzworthy enough spectacle to periodically fill Giants Stadium. Riley starts an anonymous blog as a way to connect with “people like me,” a suggestion from Riley’s therapist. Riley makes two good friends, Solo (Jason Solomona) and Bec (self-named because of her prominent nose, “bec” being French for “beak”), though their friendships start out tenuously. It would appear that judgmental teenagers looking to figure out how they should categorize a person are all over the place. “Is that a girl, or a guy?” kids whisper in the hall. Riley hopes to start over at the new school, but is instantly called “it” or “tranny” and other slurs. Riley’s anxiety and panic attacks are still a constant, but medication and therapy are helping with that. Riley has recently attempted suicide and had a recovery stint in a psychiatric hospital. Riley’s father is a congressman, which matters because he’s up for re-election and needs Riley to attend fundraisers and help his campaign by not rocking the boat further. Readers who are unfamiliar with what being gender fluid means (or means to one person) will walk away with a pretty complex picture of this identity. We read the term “gender fluid” over and over again as we learn exactly what that means to Riley. That fact is at the heart of every piece of this plot. This is 100% the story of a gender fluid teen. Well, that extremely thorough summary up there really hits most of the main pieces of this story.
