Fearless crusaders against the perfection myth and all the gluten-free, sugar-free baking it entails, Cat and Nat assure you that you’re already doing a great job, making this an essential companion for moms everywhere.
Download or read book Adapt written by Joanna Hope and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2013-01-31 with total page 315 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jessi stared at her Bible, sadness and grief etched onto her face. She whispered tearfully, Where are you, God? Who are you? She hadnt expected an audible voice to answer, but she had hoped to feel something. Think something. Want something. How can I know who I am without you? But there was nothing. A curious and thoughtful child, Jessica Alley loved God, her mother, siblings, and learning. She feared her father. She thought her childhood ended at ten, when her mom died in a car accident. She quickly set to work caring for her four siblings. She was happy to do it, because it would keep them together. Jessi never expected to become a secret child bride on her thirteenth birthday. She knew her brothers would kill him if they found out; knew they would be sent to juvenile detention; knew she and her sisters would be placed in foster care. Unwilling to lose them, she learned to hide it. She had to protect the ones she loved. Teaching children at church, feeding the homeless, tutoring in math, and learning two foreign languages with her best friend were very useful distractions. She couldnt be a virgin, but almost perfect, anyway.

Download or read book Animals in Narrative Film and Television written by Karin Beeler and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2022-09-14 with total page 239 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores fictional representations and narrative functions of animal characters in animated and live-action film and television, examining the ways in which these representations intersect with a variety of social issues. Contributors cover a range of animal characters, from heroes to villains, across a variety of screen genres and formats, including anime, comedy, romance, horror, fantasy, and science fiction. Aesthetic features of these works, along with the increased latitude that fictionalized narratives and alternative worlds provide, allow existing social issues to be brought to the forefront in order to effect change in our societies. By incorporating animal figures into media, these screen narratives have gained the ability to critique actions carried out by human beings and explore dimensions of both the human/animal connection and the intersectionality of race, culture, class, gender, and ability, ultimately teaching viewers how to become more human in our interactions with the world around us. Scholars of film studies, media studies, and animal studies will find this book of particular interest.
