![]() ![]() ![]() The series is a significant part of popular culture in Britain and elsewhere it has gained a cult following. The time-travelling feature of the plot means that different incarnations of the Doctor occasionally meet. Each actor's portrayal is distinct, but all represent stages in the life of the same character, and together, they form a single lifetime with a single narrative. The transition from one actor to another is written into the plot of the series with the concept of regeneration into a new incarnation, a plot device in which a Time Lord "transforms" into a new body when the current one is too badly harmed to heal normally. With various companions, the Doctor combats foes, works to save civilisations, and helps people in need.īeginning with William Hartnell, thirteen actors have headlined the series as the Doctor in 2017, Jodie Whittaker became the first woman to officially play the role on television. The TARDIS exterior appears as a blue British police box, which was a common sight in Britain in 1963 when the series first aired. The Doctor explores the universe in a time-travelling space ship called the TARDIS. ![]() The series depicts the adventures of a Time Lord called the Doctor, an extraterrestrial being who appears to be human. ![]() Doctor Who is a British science fiction television series broadcast by the BBC since 1963. ![]() ![]() ![]() (One caveat, though: Bradbury unfortunately perpetuates a couple of misconceptions about Samhain, or summer's end, the Halloween of ancient Celts and contemporary pagans.) This beautiful reprint edition has the original black-and-white illustrations and a new color painting on the dust jacket. This is a superb book for adults to read to children, a way to teach them, quite painlessly, about customs and imagery related to Halloween from ancient Egypt, Mediterranean cultures, Celtic Druidism, Mexico, and even a cathedral in Paris. The Halloween Tree, while sweeter than his adult literature, is also touched at moments by the cold specter of loss-which is only fitting, of course, for a holiday in honor of the waning of the sun. Bradbury's lyrical prose whooshes along with the pell-mell rhythms of children running at night, screaming and laughing, and the reader is carried along by its sheer exuberance.īradbury's stories about children are always attended by dread-of change, adulthood, death. As Pipkin scrambles to join them, he is swept away by a dark Something, and Moundshroud leads the boys on the tail of a. Eight costumed boys running to meet their friend Pipkin at the haunted house outside town encounter instead the huge and cadaverous Mr. They ride on a black wind to autumn scenes in distant lands and times, where they witness other ways of celebrating this holiday about the dark time of year. ' A fast-moving, eerie.tale set on Halloween night. ![]() ![]() Eight boys set out on a Halloween night and are led into the depths of the past by a tall, mysterious character named Moundshroud. Or Ray Bradbury's classic The Halloween Tree. Special indeed are holiday stories with the right mix of high spirits and subtle mystery to please both adults and children-Charles Dickens's "A Christmas Carol," for example. ![]() ![]() ![]() While this isn’t necessarily someone’s fault, it does affect men and women altogether. Having limitations align with every milestone they reach, women have come to know hardship through a whole new set of lenses than men. To the author’s disgrace, women still face limits in their professional lives today, living in the shadows of the opposite gender. In contrast, women were seen as “The Other”, which is a concept we’ll explore further in the summary. ![]() ![]() Still, the society of the twentieth century didn’t see things as such. While males excel in some areas of life, women do so in others. The book argues that women are not inferior to men, but rather just different. The Second Sex by Simone de Beauvoir is a plea for equality in a society that no longer relies on the muscle dominance of men. 1-Sentence-Summary: The Second Sex delves into the concept of feminism by looking at historical facts and biases, and explains how being a woman implies being subjugated to a man and making yourself smaller so that you can fit in today’s world, but also how women everywhere should react to the system and change it. ![]() ![]() ![]()

Their inclusion in so many of the promotional images for DA4 suggests that these are not coincidences. Corypheus was changed by his contact with the Golden City.

Tin foil hat time: We’re they unwitting agents of the Evanuris? We’ve long wondered whether the Elvhen gods were awake enough behind their mirrors to pull the springs of the puppets in Thedas.

Gender Outlaw was decades ahead of its time when it was first published in 1994. But this particular coming-of-age story is also a provocative investigation into our notions of male and female, from a self-described nonbinary transfeminine diesel femme dyke who never stops questioning our cultural assumptions. On one level, Gender Outlaw details Bornstein's transformation from heterosexual male to lesbian woman, from a one-time IBM salesperson to a playwright and performance artist. ![]() A breath of fresh air, the best of both worlds, strong enough for a man, gendet made for a woman. The trouble is, we're living in a world that insists we be one or the other." With these words, Kate Bornstein ushers listeners on a funny, fearless, and wonderfully scenic journey across the terrains of gender and identity. Kate Bornstein is a historic figure in the queer and trans community. ![]() ![]() and I've come to the conclusion that I'm probably not a woman, either. ![]() ![]() Transplanting it to our world only makes sense, with the Jazz Age a setting as suitably dazzling as Basile’s vague fantasy land. In The Girls at the Kingfisher Club, Genevieve Valentine dispenses with the war hero protagonist of “The Twelve Dancing Princesses” and any fantastical elements to focus on the family drama implied in the story: twelve daughters locked up at the behest of their father. Adaptation, after all, is its own criticism-you have to decide what to discard, what to use, and what, to you, is the heart of the story. When you’re retelling a fairy tale, the basic structure is there for you to follow or subvert, forcing you to dig in a little deeper. ![]() It’s an extension of my love for the art of adaptation. I can’t speak for everybody else, of course, but I adore fairy tale retellings. With last Friday’s release of Maleficent, an adaptation of an adaptation of an adaptation of Giambattista Basile’s “ Sole, Luna e Talia”, it might be tempting to think that we’ve hit a saturation point for fairy tale retellings. ![]() ![]() The Girls at the Kingfisher Club by Genevieve Valentine ![]() |
