The approach chosen by the researcher of the study will be cultural materialism, as it is broadly known as new historicism. The aim of the study is to confirm the intermingle of love and war in Bernard Shaw " s Arms and the Man as well as Major Barbara. In the study, the complex meanings of love and war will be tackled with special focus on the unconventional outlook of the writer about the traditional concepts of love and war. This research analyzes two themes of love and war in his two well-known plays Arms and the Man (1894) and Major Barbara (1905). He deals with many themes in his plays such as morality, wealth/poverty, society and class, power, heroism, violence, war and love. Shaw wrote sixty-three plays which are all comedies that criticize wittily the social diseases prevalent in his society during his lifetime. This is mainly due to his unconventional treatment of the conventional topics or ideas in his plays. George Bernard Shaw (1856-1950), the Irish comic playwright, literary critic, and a Fabian socialist thinker occupies a prominent position in the history of modern English thought in general and English drama in specifics.

The young man, whose story is to be told, also emerges from his obsessions. His questioning and indecision force the reader into another radical sense of the novel. He tallies his accounts and checks his provisions. All of his choices for the story are made and remade. The narrator obsesses over making his narrative to the point of not making it. The first deals with the narrator and his effort to make the book itself the second, the story the narrator intends to tell, presents a young man's arrival in America. These stories are simultaneous and not chronological. Within these startling and playful structures Federman develops two characters and two narratives. The words move, cluster, jostle, and collide in a tour de force full of puns, parodies, and imitations. Federman gives each of these pages a shape or structure, most often a diagram or picture. Double or Nothing is a concrete novel in which the words become physical materials on the page. More books from this author: Barbara Stuber.

On her wedding day, Selene dresses proactively and most of Rome is up in arms since it signifies that she is Augustus' whore. In Song of the Nile, Selene is married to her tutor, Juba, and they are awarded Mauretania as a kingdom. This series includes a magical aspect, and Selene is portrayed as very haughty albeit royal girl with mysterious wind powers. The first book focused on Cleopatra and Marc Antony's children: Alexander Helios, Cleopatra Selene, and Philadelphus as they were taken to Rome after their parents suicide. I enjoy reading about Cleopatra and Augustus, and this novel infuriated me. I read Dray's first novel, Lily of the Nile and was excited for the follow-up. I was extremely disappointed in this second book in the Cleopatra's Daughter series. And with a feral guardian half-god, Gisele's sinister fiancé, and an overeager junior detective on Vanja's tail, she'll have to pull the biggest grift yet to save her own life.

Then, one heist away from freedom, Vanja crosses the wrong god and is cursed to an untimely end: turning into jewels, stone by stone, for her greed. Now, Vanja leads a lonely but lucrative double life as princess and jewel thief, charming nobility while emptying their coffers to fund her great escape. The real Gisele is left a penniless nobody while Vanja uses an enchanted string of pearls to take her place.

Vanja, the adopted goddaughter of Death and Fortune, was Princess Gisele's dutiful servant up until a year ago. Vanja Schmidt knows that no gift is freely given, not even a mother's love―and she's on the hook for one hell of a debt. Once upon a time, there was a horrible girl. A scrappy maid must outsmart both palace nobles and Low Gods in a new YA fantasy by Margaret Owen, author of the Merciful Crow series. As revelation upon revelation builds, she discovers the unthinkable: Kerry is her half-brother and the man she's always taken to be her father isn't after all. Then she falls for Kerry, a handsome local hunk, and wants to tell him how she feels. For one thing, she agrees to compete in the gruelling Four Islands Race. Instead, she steps into a series of unexpected adventures that will alter her view of what seemed a dull and tedious existence. She decides to spend the summer with her grandmother on remote Lake Ringrose in northern Ontario, where she thinks she can laze on a hammock all summer and get in touch with her mother's roots. p> Sixteen-year-old Charlie, an ambitious and dedicated writer who thinks her small-town life doesn't offer any material for her work, is sure of three things: That her blow-up at her tactless creative writing teacher must have contributed to his heart attack, That she doesn't want to spend her summer with her father's girlfriend and her triplets, And that she has to get away.

Talon is about to bring their “legion” to the door of the rogues. Unfortunately for everyone not in Talon, things are about to come to a head. Garrett was about to die but then he received a transfusion of dragon blood, so he’s basically okay now. Ember is hanging out with the rogues – including Riley. Okay, so Dante is still with the shady Talon organization. If you haven’t read Soldier, you should probably stop reading this review if you don’t want to be spoiled. After all, I am SO close to finishing this series! What’s The Story Here? I added it and instead of waiting and listening to the audiobooks in order of adding, I made this one a priority. Yet, seeing Legion available on Hoopla sort of reignited that steam. Anyways, I kind of lost steam with reading these books. I feel like I thought the second and third books were alright too. Legion by Julie Kagawa is the fourth book in her Talon series - which is her series of dragon books. Why Did I Listen To Legion by Julie Kagawa? |
