The protests to move Ivan stemmed from a growing movement to house captive wild animals in larger, more naturalistic settings-the kind of enclosures that, today, are common at zoos. Ivan lived out the rest of his life at Zoo Atlanta and died at age 50 in 2012. Zoo Atlanta has one of the best programs for western lowland gorillas like Ivan and, by 1994, they’d already rehabilitated another gorilla, Willie B., who had grown up and spent most of his adult life in circumstances similar to Ivan’s. Facing financial troubles, Ivan’s owners allowed Ivan to move to the Woodland Park Zoo in Seattle, which then sent Ivan to Zoo Atlanta in 1994 on permanent loan. In the late 1980s, the animal welfare group PAWS began to agitate for Ivan to be moved to a more naturalistic environment. He spent the next 23 years of his life there. For three years, Ivan lived like a child in his owner’s home-but when he became too large and rambunctious, he was moved to a 14x14-foot enclosure in the B&I strip mall. The female died in transit to the United States or shortly after arriving in the country, but the owner of the B&I department store in Tacoma, Washington purchased Ivan. Ivan the gorilla was around two years old when he and a female infant gorilla were captured in the Democratic Republic of the Congo in 1964. The One and Only Ivan is based on a true story.

This is definitely one of her better efforts. Though a couple of the final megatwists prove more shocking than convincing, Kubica’s plumbing of the darkness lurking beneath the shiny suburban dream should please her fans and draw in new ones. As usual for this author, much suspense stems from her storytelling sleight of hand, particularly the way she leaps forward and backward in time as well as among half a dozen distinctive if not always reliable narrators, who include Shelby, Meredith, and Delilah’s younger brother. However, the traumatized, emaciated teen subsequently brought to the house bears little resemblance to the Delilah he remembers, other than her distinctive red hair. When a local mother and her six-year-old daughter, Delilah, suddenly vanish, their. Out of the blue, Meredith’s husband gets the call that will upend his life again: Delilah has been found.

Medina also looks into the life of the policeman himself and the possible effects the shooting has had on his mental health. The reader sees the aftermath of Alfonzo’s death through the eyes of his civil rights activist grandfather, his girlfriend, his mother and others. In addition, his class had been preparing Hamlet for an upcoming show, and with this comes many literary references and allusions. After his death, Alfonso boards a ghost train filled with others who have been killed in police shootings. The author and illustrators use many perspectives to relay both the plot itself and the overall messages of the book. I Am Alfonso Jones tells the story of the lead up and the aftermath of that shooting death. He sees Alfonso hold up a coat hanger while trying on a suit, interprets it as a gun, and shoots him. Reports of a aggravated customer at the department store sends the off-duty police officer who is working as a security guard on high alert.

This edition from the best-selling poetry series brings together the most beloved poems for children, from The Owl and the Pussycat through On the Ning Nang Nong to I Know Someone Who Can to Us Two. I am grateful for the fact that I never felt pressured into a relationship or encounter I didn't want as many asexuals do. I thought there was something wrong with me that I didn't want what my friends wanted, and even when I did think I had a crush, I still don't know if I actually felt that way or if I was just performing the way society told me I should. When I first realized I was asexual I was 24 years old and had never been in a relationship with another person (I still haven't) and for years I thought I was broken. "Because it can be life-affirming and scary as hell, all at the same time." I really enjoyed that aspect of the book. On top of my intense dislike for Jordan's personality, Walker did something in this book that is so god-awful. If I met someone like him IRL, I'd run screaming. One of my GR friends was posting updates about how much this book resonated with her, and how she seemed to finally find a book "about her". I learned more details of the ace community and how much they often internalize all of society's "normal behavior" than any other book I've read. Well, let's start with what I really liked - the way the ace spectrum was represented.

We expect their information to be told in narrative format, in neatly laid out paragraphs, with the author held at something of a distance. Modern monographs tend to be very straightforward, especially works whose aim is to be informative and educational-like a textbook-rather than entertaining or experimental, such as novels or poetry. But it isn’t just the words that can open windows onto the past the manner in which they are written also gives us valuable knowledge about how the art of presenting knowledge has evolved over time. One of the joys of reading primary sources is that it can provide us with a direct window into the past-browsing through an old distillation manual can lead down the path of researching medicinal cannibalism, or mentions of moon phases can provoke a segue into medical astrology.
Also, along the way, he invites his best friend, Jimmy Fargo, on the vacation with him, a privilege gifted to compensate for having to spend it alongside Sheila, but is irritated when Jimmy starts to spend more time with her than with him out of sympathy for her own good friend's (Mouse, who was introduced in Otherwise Known as Sheila the Great) inability to join her on the vacation too, as she has the chicken pox. This wish is pacified and dropped after a newfound friend named Mitzi Apfel provides him with a bottle containing her grandmother's "monster spray" during the vacation, but Peter is stunned to learn that she is the granddaughter of an idolized baseball player known as "Big Apfel". On the other hand, his younger brother, Fudge, who is five years old, anticipates the vacation because of his plans to marry her as a means of protection against the supposed "monsters" hiding beneath his bed, knowing that spouses often share one. Peter Hatcher is horrified to learn of his family's plans to spend summer in a vacation home alongside the Tubmans, the family of his archrival, Sheila, located in Southwest Harbor, Maine. Fudge-a-Mania is a 1990 children's novel by Judy Blume and the fourth entry in the Fudge series. |
