In the aftermath of the Supreme Court coup against Roe v. Political and moral conviction can drive artists to good work, even if that work has no wish to understand its villains except as paragons of cruelty and power. It’s possible to believe that aesthetics should not take a back seat to politics and still, when things are dire, feel the pull of artists who choose urgency over nuance. Both merciless and humane, Happening presents abortion in the spirit of Simone de Beauvoir in the Manifesto of the 343-as something necessary to allow women the ability to realize their full potential as citizens. Scotland is a part of the United Kingdom (UK) and occupies the northern third of Great Britain. Image: Matt Lewis, CC BY-SA 3.0 via Wikimedia Commons Where is Scotland anyway? For example, the surname MacDougall literally means son of Dougall. When these surnames were originally developed, they were formed by adding the Gaelic word mac, which means son of, to the name of the original bearer’s father. Scottish and Irish surnames frequently have the prefix Mac or Mc. Who can’t love that cheeky wee dog, Hairy Maclary, and all his furry mates – from Bottomley Potts (covered in spots), to the villain of many books, Scarface Claw!īut did you know that Scotland has claimed these books as their own? “WHAT? How can that be?” we hear you cry!Īlthough the Hairy Maclary series are peppered with loads of New Zealand references such as the word “dairy” (this would be called a “corner shop” in Scottish lingo), and illustrations with cabbage trees, Pōhutukawa, ponga trees and flax, the name “Maclary” is a decidedly Scottish-sounding name! What’s in a name? Sound familiar? That’s because the Hairy Maclary series, written and illustrated by Lynley Dodd, is one of New Zealand’s (and the world’s) best-loved picture books. “Out of the gate and off for a walk went Hairy Maclary from Donaldson’s Dairy…” Meanwhile, Gambrell (2011) noted that 37% of students did not read for enjoyment as it was reported from Program for International Student Assessment in across 64 countries. The additional goal then is to make the students find their own joy in reading to increase their motivation. (2001) argued that there should be intentional and ongoing active invitations to the students to respond and interact with the oral reading of story through interactive read-aloud. Johnston (2016) defined read-aloud as an instructional practice in which teachers or parents read text aloud to children incorporating pitch, tone, pace, volume changes, questions, and comments to produce fluent and engaging delivery. Reading aloud is both promoted in the family and at school for both first language and second language learners. The habit of reading as part of American culture begins at the family level. Trealease (2013) noted that nine-year-old American children interest in reading at that level is among the best in the world. In the middle of it all, a ruby-throated hummingbird decides to winter at the Tanners' and becomes a source of delight and inspiration as March Anne prepares for Grenna's passing and journeys toward self-acceptance. When Grenna suffers a heart attack, March Anne must face an uncertain future and confront her past. And so, in secret meetings deep in the woods, March Anne and her two best friends form the Pseudonymphs, whose names change with the seasons. And although Grenna has tried to teach March Anne about her ancestors, March Anne has always been uncomfortable with the family name she's been given and doesn't like. Thanks to Grenna, her grandmother and surrogate mother, March Anne has learned everything she needs to know about seeds, vine pruning, and harvesting melons and pumpkins. Twelve-year-old March Anne Tanner's life is tied to the simple rhythms and cycles of the watermelon farm in Jubilee, Georgia, that she has grown up on. I didn’t mean to get into being a Sugar Baby, but after posting a photo of myself on the beach in my bikini over spring break, the requests kept coming in on my ChattySnap account. “Then start going for straight cash,” she says, smacking on a stick of gum. “I keep getting gift cards to Starbucks, but I have to sell them to get the cash.” “What should I ask for?” I snap a few test pictures, trying to look sexy and far happier than I feel. Mary, who I’m talking to over video chat, gives me a thumbs up. The Daddies cream themselves over a hint of nipple.” I tug at the top of my tank and rub my thumb over my nipple. Things might be a lot easier for me if I were. I won’t pretend like I’ve got the biggest tits in the world, but I’m not totally flat, either.
