As a woman who describes her own body as "wildly undisciplined", Roxane understands the tension between desire and denial, between self-comfort and self-care. In her phenomenally popular essays and long-running Tumblr blog, Roxane Gay has written with intimacy and sensitivity about food and body, using her own emotional and psychological struggles as a means of exploring our shared anxieties over pleasure, consumption, appearance, and health. I was trapped in my body, one that I barely recognized or understood, but at least I was safe." I tried to erase every memory of her, but she is still there, somewhere. I buried the girl I was because she ran into all kinds of trouble. "I ate and ate and ate in the hopes that if I made myself big, my body would be safe.

JemisinOne major shift in The Stone Sky from its predecessors is that the narrator here becomes his own point-of-view character, joining Essun and her daughter Nassun. Namely, she employs the second-person point-of-view, the use of three point-of-view characters in alternating chapters and a fictional universe where the rigorous magic system functions much like a science, though it does veer more towards the inexplicable as the book progresses. In The Stone Sky, Jemisin maintains much of the style and structure she adopted in the first two books. It is the usual way of wrapping up a fantasy trilogy, but The Broken Earth closes with a particularly well-executed one. Jemisin crafts the showdown so that everything in the trilogy crescendos into one final set piece. With the seemingly bleak future of that world on the line, Essun is forced to face off against both her own nagging sense of inadequacy as well as an opposing side consisting of her daughter and her old nemesis Schaffa. As the final book in the multi-award-winning The Broken Earth trilogy, The Stone Sky provides a twisting, satisfying conclusion to the story of the Final Season, the orogene known as Essun and a magical world that has raised many mysteries to snag readers’ interest. 6/22/2023 0 Comments No ordinary time"From the best-selling author of The Fitzgeralds and the Kennedys and Lyndon Johnson and the American Dream comes a compelling chronicle of a nation and its leaders during the period when modern America was created.

She encounters a dying ball turret gunner known only as Technical Sergeant Garp who was reduced to a perpetually priapic mental vegetable by pieces of shrapnel that pierced his head. She is asexual, a trait condemned by her family and disapproved of by society. His mother, Jenny Fields, a strong-willed nurse, wants a child but not a husband. This novel provides almost cheerful, even hilarious evidence of its famous last line: "In the world according to Garp, we are all terminal cases." ( From the publisher.) It is a novel rich with "lunacy and sorrow," yet the dark, violent events of the story do not undermine a comedy both ribald and robust. This is the life and death of a famous mother and her almost-famous son theirs is a world of sexual extremes-even of sexual assassinations. Garp, the bastard son of Jenny Fields-a feminist leader ahead of her times. 6/21/2023 0 Comments Max weber and the protestant ethicHe never claimed that religion was the complete, simple, isolated cause of the rise of capitalism in the West. Additionally, Weber observed that both ascetic Protestantism and capitalism encouraged cultural practices that reinforced one another. In other words, although he did not argue that religion caused economic change, Weber did find that ascetic Protestantism and modern capitalism often appeared alongside one another in societies. By elective affinity, Weber meant something less direct than causality, but something more direct than correlation. Weber proposed that ascetic Protestantism had an elective affinity with capitalism, bureaucracy, and the rational-legal nation-state in the Western world. Weber viewed religion as one of the core forces in society. In contrast to Marx’s “historical materialism,” Weber emphasized how the cultural influences embedded in religion could be a means for understanding the genesis of capitalism. Although some consider Weber’s argument to be a study of religion, it can also be interpreted as an introduction to his later works, especially his studies of the interaction between various religious ideas and economic behavior. In The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism, his most famous text, Weber proposed that ascetic Protestantism was one of the major “elective affinities” associated with the rise of capitalism, bureaucracy, and the rational-legal nation-state in the Western world.
