You’re not leaving, are you?

Not then, anyway.Īpparently, it did now since she’d gone and hidden hers under a silky piece of black lace. But in the lyrics of Jason Derulo, her booty hadn’t needed explaining. I hadn’t been able to pull more than a dozen words from her since we’d met, and nothing she’d said so far had been in English. She didn’t answer, which wasn’t surprising. Blinking myself back into better consciousness, I tried to sit up and found it damn near impossible. Wait, no, that wasn’t supposed to happen. She slid off the bed and presented me with a spectacular view of the most perfect ass ever, and my smile grew eager.until she pulled on a pair of panties and then reached for her bra. I opened my bleary eyes, half-awake from postcoital bliss as the naked woman on top of me shifted, the soft, smooth warmth of her flesh caressing my own. ![]()

Katherine pulled off the ultimate career comeback. She totally contradicted what an Old Hollywood starlet was expected to be. She also wore pants in public which, at the time, was unheard of for women. Katharine dressed casually and rarely wore makeup. This, of course, just made the press more obsessed with her and created her famous, mysterious image. She never gave interviews or interacted with photographers on the street. She was known for her fiercely private and independent attitude. Katharine has more Oscars than any actor ever! With four awards to her name and 12 total nominations, that puts her ahead of both Daniel Day Lewis and Meryl Streep (each with three wins). ![]() ![]() She starred in a few successful shows on Broadway before making it big in Hollywood and winning an Academy Award for her third movie ever.

Will you be channeling Katharine Hepburn?. ![]() ![]() To the African Americans, freedom also meant the end of injustice and access to the same rights that the white people enjoyed. Freedom was, of course, the absence of slavery, but it also extended far beyond that. In the early days of Reconstruction, the notion of freedom encompassed several definitions. ![]() What was the definition of African American freedom early on in Reconstruction? The abolishment of slavery was a necessary requirement although the states were allowed to introduce some temporary measures regarding blacks as a “laboring, landless and serving class.” Apart from that, the so-called Ten Percent Plan aimed to establish loyal local governments in the South, if at least ten percent of voters pledged allegiance to the North (Foner 27). The Proclamation of Amnesty and Reconstruction presupposed the restoration of all rights to those Southerners who swore to accept the abolition, with the exception of some high-ranking officers. ![]() ![]() The initial plan did not yet include racial equality before the law and black suffrage but was merely intended to end the war. ![]() ![]() ![]() “Nothing will benefit health and increase the chances for survival of life on earth as the evolution of a vegetarian diet.” “A man can live and be healthy without killing animals for food therefore, if he eats meat, he participates in taking animal life merely for the sake of his appetite. “The frog does not drink up the pond in which he lives.” “We don’t inherit the land from our ancestors, we borrow it from our children.” Their abundance tends to render them invisible it’s to everyday miracles that we’re most blind.” “A Herring Gull gliding overhead is as beautiful as any idea perfected. You will not know them, and what you do not know ![]() “If you talk to the animals they will talk with youĪnd you will know each other. “The greatness of a nation can be judged by the way its animals are treated.” And if they add, ‘We must be realistic,’ they mean they are going to make money out of it.” “Whenever people say, ‘We mustn’t be sentimental,’ you can take it they are about to do something cruel. “Surely a better time must be drawing nigh when godlike human beings will become truly humane and learn to put their fellow animal mortals in their hearts instead of on their backs or in their dinners.” ![]() ![]() What results is a tension between reality and contrived reality, as Joyce, in allowing Stephen to develop an “autonomous” sense of smell, subconsciously unleashes his own olfactory associations as a result, we catch glimpses of Joyce’s consciousness filtered through the lens of Stephen’s perspective.īefore dissecting the intricate relationship between Joyce and Stephen using smell as a catalyst, it is important to outline the three interactive beings present in varying degrees throughout the novel. ![]() The problem becomes even more complicated when one factors in the recurrence of figurative and imagined smells in Portrait, which often correlate with concrete smells that have occurred earlier in the text. However, as the writer and creator of the world in which Stephen lives, Joyce faced the paradox of deliberately and consciously crafting Stephen’s smell so as to seem random and subconscious. ![]() James Joyce, in writing A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, made sure to equip Stephen Dedalus with a realistic sense of smell and, therefore, kept in mind the random and highly subconscious nature of olfaction as opposed to other sensual faculties. ![]() ![]() ![]() The novel is set in Butetown – an area near the docklands area of Cardiff known colloquially as "Tiger Bay". Frankie also befriends Salvatore Capanone, with whom he opens a café on Bute Street.

After her mother is murdered, Nina embarks on a hunt for the father she never knew, even as her mother's creepy boyfriend stalks her for unknown reasons. Despite mounting peer pressure, Nina refuses to buy into the "sex-teen" mindset thrust on her and her friends since they were young.
