![]() ![]() And yet, as you can probably tell, my foray into Russian literature has been somewhat limited. I was absorbed – transfixed – by Ivan Turgenev’s First Love and Other Stories, as well as by the short stories of Chekhov and Nabokov (although, admittedly, I’m yet to read Lolita all the way through). I remember the time I spent reading The Brothers Karamazov, Notes from Underground, Crime and Punishment and One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich as immensely rewarding challenges. ![]() I love its darkness, its sweeping grandness, and its oftentimes piercing perusal of humanity. I’ve always had such a soft spot for classic Russian literature. And you and I are the last remembrance of all that immeasurable greatness which has been created in the world in all the thousands of years between their time and ours, and it is in memory of all that vanished splendour that we live and love and weep and cling to one another. ![]() You and I are like the first two people on earth who at the beginning of the world had nothing to cover themselves with – at the end of it, you and I are just as stripped and homeless. ![]()

In Chapter 2 (History, Science, and Morality) examines two things primarily: whether historians can make moral judgements about the past and whether or not the discipline is a “science.” Chapter 3 (Historians and Their Facts) addresses the question, “What is a historical fact?” Chapter 4 (Sources and Discourses) examines the difference between the sources used by historians to construct their narrative and the narrative itself. In Chapter 1 (The History of History) Evans gives readers a lesson in historiography. While Evans does not defend the antiquated idea that we can be purely “objective” he does go toe-to-toe with those who deny that historians can tell us something about what happened in the past. ![]() All historical reconstruction is essentially narrative and the facts do not matter. ![]() In light of the postmodern shift there have been many philosophers and even historians who have argued that there is no way to do “objective” history. ![]() Evans’ In Defense of History is a passionate defense of the work done by historians.

And believe you me when I say that I am not returning to attempt watching the last half of "The Winter Witch". Some of us suffered through this ordeal, in some or full extend, so you don't have to. This movie is not something I would recommend for horror fans to waste their time, money or effort on. As for "The Winter Witch" being a horror movie? Well, in the 41 minutes I sat through there wasn't a shred of anything even close to resembling horror, unless you count utter pointlessness and boredom as being horror. I wasn't the least bit impressed by what I witnessed. The acting in the movie, at least in the 41 minutes that I suffered through, was nothing noteworthy. It was just some girls sitting around talking without much of any gusto and without anything interesting to talk about. I kid you not when I say nothing, I mean that literally. In those excrutiatingly long 41 minutes nothing happened in the narrative. I managed to endure 41 minutes of the 82 minute, so I made it halfway through, and then I tossed the towel in the ring. And talk about a swing and a miss from writer and director Richard John Taylor. ![]() ![]() ![]() And it being a horror movie that I hadn't already seen was essentially sufficient to make me sit down and give the movie a chance. ![]() Yeah, I hadn't even heard about this 2022 horror movie titled "The Winter Witch" when I stumbled upon it here in 2023, but I have to say that the movie's cover definitely seemed interesting. ![]() ![]() ![]() In addition to the interpersonal, Tangerine also prompts discussion on several social issues. ![]() Students should also be able to relate to the complex social interactions Paul experiences at his two new schools and reflect on the role of fear and teamwork in sports competitions. For instance, Paul's difficult home life, the result of parental oversight and sibling abuse, will resonate with readers familiar with some form of family conflict. At the same time, the novel allows ample and serious discussion on relatable issues. Teachers can use Edward Bloor's Tangerine to introduce journal narrative, providing both diverting variation for students with this format, as well as a lovingly detailed Florida setting and a suspenseful plot. ![]() ![]() ![]() We do, however, repair the vast majority of imperfections successfully any imperfections that remain are intentionally left to preserve the state of such historical works.

If we were to try to list all the greatest Black leaders in history, we’d be here for a very long time. ![]() |
