![]() ![]() However, if your child loves a good mystery/thriller/horror/historical fiction, this is certainly a worthy candidate. The revelation of Jack the Ripper's identity is very upsetting, as the killer is someone very close to Audrey Rose. One character tries to bring his dead mother back from the grave. The text in these letters is actually from the real Jack the Ripper, and this might make things even more disturbing for young readers. In one letter he encloses half a kidney, telling how he fried and ate the other half. Women (specifically prostitutes) are brutalized and killed by a terrifying killer that sends taunting messages to his hunters. I will say this, though - be prepared for a lot of gore. ![]() ![]() Audrey Rose is a good role model for teens - she is clever, determined, and refuses to be defined by the limitations of her time. I kept wanting to see what happens next in Audrey Rose's race to catch the Ripper, and her romance with her partner Thomas Cresswell increased the enjoyment factor. I personally really enjoyed reading this book. ![]()

![]() ![]() Art is not meant to be created in stolen moments only.” She simply must put her foot down and say no to half of what she believes she “should” be doing. ![]() A woman must be careful to not allow over-responsibility (or over-respectability) to steal her necessary creative rests, riffs, and raptures. “I’ve seen women insist on cleaning everything in the house before they could sit down to write… and you know it’s a funny thing about housecleaning… it never comes to an end. Then the river will flow, then we can stand in the stream of it raining down.” “I learned about the sacred art of self decoration with the monarch butterflies perched atop my head, lightning bugs as my night jewelry, and emerald-green frogs as bracelets.” -Dr. To create one must be willing to be stone stupid, to sit upon a throne on top of a jackass and spill rubies from one’s mouth. If we want to allow it its freedom, we have to allow our ideational lives to be let loose, to stream, letting anything come, initially censoring nothing. The river does not flow in polluted, we manage that. Questions are the keys that cause the secret doors of the psyche to swing open.” The properly shaped question always emanates from an essential curiosity about what stands behind. The key question causes germination of consciousness. “Asking the proper question is the central action of transformation- in fairy tales, in analysis, and in individuation. ![]() ![]() In my work as a mentor, I tutored a girl in elementary school who had a very difficult time saying the word “lake.” I used the word “lake” as part of a homework exercise. Think back to our discussion of how language influences your social reality. People constantly produce language to categorize and organize the world. Quite simply, we’d have no way of participating in our world without it. For most of us this means that we may first learn language from our parents, but as we grow older, other family members, friends, educators and even the media impact our vocabularies and our choices regarding what language we use. ![]() ![]() \)Īs was noted at the beginning of this chapter, language is culturally transmitted-we learn our language from those around us. ![]() ![]() ![]() In Brittney Cooper’s world, neither mean girls nor fuckboys ever win. ![]() And it took another intervention, this time staged by one of her homegirls, to turn Brittney into the fierce feminist she is today. When Cooper learned of her grandmother's eloquent rage about love, sex, and marriage in an epic and hilarious front-porch confrontation, her life was changed. It reminds women that they don’t have to settle for less. It’s what makes Michelle Obama an icon.Įloquent rage keeps us all honest and accountable. It’s what makes Beyoncé’s girl power anthems resonate so hard. Black women’s eloquent rage is what makes Serena Williams such a powerful tennis player. But Cooper shows us that there is more to the story than that. Far too often, Black women’s anger has been caricatured into an ugly and destructive force that threatens the civility and social fabric of American democracy. ![]() ![]() Jax the Wanderer is a hunter, an explorer, and an oddity among his kind.
