Download or read book How to Deal with Life s Snakes and Ladders written by Mike Pearce and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2015-07-24 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers suggestions as to how to beat the system, what to look out for and how to relate to people. It picks up on what really matters especially when you are still at school or college and many of these ideas are still relevant as you get older. There are people who will always put you down, things that happen which will leave you depressed and lost. Life still goes on and you need to look beyond these events to forge ahead and really find yourself and be happy. This book is not trying to teach your mother to suck eggs, but gives you the opportunity to look at some of the suggestions and see if these will make a difference in your life, which I truly believe they can. Alice was in wonderland but it didn't seem like that to her. When she woke up at the end of the story she became after all her wild experiences, I am sure, an ace in dealing with different people and situations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Does love conquer all? How far are we willing to go for the person we love? How much are we willing to sacrifice for them? Where do we draw the line? And in the end, no matter what we do, do we really have the power to change someone else’s life, even if in a small way? Is it possible to save a loved one from her demons, draw them away from a path of self-destruction? And, in the mean time, what becomes of ourselves? How far can our love and desire to help whom we love carry us through the difficulties and heartache? And we also have to face our own demons and create our life, live as best we can and deal with struggles. Ultimately, each step we take, in whatever direction we move, in all circumstances and experiences of life, teaches us about ourselves. We grow with each hurdle. Our compassion grows with each heart break. Our sense of connection is nourished even as we lose.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite the high aspirations of young people from disadvantaged communities, they face barriers that are frustrating the realisation of their educational ambitions. This book analyses the ‘left-behind’ phenomenon and shows how education has become the new divide in Western society. It explains how denied educational equality and frustrated opportunity are undermining social cohesion and what we can do about it. It challenges meritocratic thinking and the efficacy of widening participation as a policy for social inclusion. Combining analysis of educational disadvantage at an international level and among Travelling communities with empirical data derived from fieldwork with parents, teachers and students in the European Union (Ireland), this book offers fresh thinking and new hope in relation to young people left behind in the opportunity structure.

Download or read book Imagining Medieval English written by Tim William Machan and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2016-01-25 with total page 339 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Imagining Medieval English is concerned with how we think about language, and simply through the process of thinking about it, give substance to an array of phenomena, including grammar, usage, variation, change, regional dialects, sociolects, registers, periodization, and even language itself. Leading scholars in the field explore conventional conceptualisations of medieval English, and consider possible alternatives and their implications for cultural as well as linguistic history. They explore not only the language's structural traits, but also the sociolinguistic and theoretical expectations that frame them and make them real. Spanning the period from 500 to 1500 and drawing on a wide range of examples, the chapters discuss topics such as medieval multilingualism, colloquial medieval English, standard and regional varieties, and the post-medieval reception of Old and Middle English. Together, they argue that what medieval English is, depends, in part, on who's looking at it, how, when and why.
