Lincoln deliberately refers to the Declaration of Independence as opposed to the Constitution, the U. Signed in 1776 by representatives of the original thirteen British colonies, this founding document of the United States declared the colonies’ separation from Great Britain and established a new country of “free and independent states.” Lincoln ends the sentence with a quotation from the Declaration: “all men are created equal.” This direct reference alludes to the central cause of the Civil War––the institution of slavery in southern states and its potential expansion in new U.S. The Declaration of Independence and its historical significance serves as the foundation for the opening sentence of Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address. ![]()

![]() ![]() If readers took the news badly, it could’ve ended in a total disaster. This meant that I was already aware of the fact that I would need to make three different JoJo’s, who would – in some sort of way – all be descendants of each other, and that their lives would be linked by a common curse.Īnyway, I have to say that the editors at the time weren’t keen on the idea of switching protagonists, especially for a popular series. Let me explain: I originally only planned for the series to be three parts, ending with the final confrontation against Dio Brando. I think it’s safe to say that this series is the only “generational saga” to come from Japan. I was born on June 7, 1960, in Sendai, Miyagi Prefecture.

A Stand For A Friend - Interview with Hirohiko Araki ![]() ![]() I was effortlessly drawn into Max’s story and I loved the bait’n’switches Brubaker threw in - just when you think, aha, I know where this is going, nope! And then again - and then again! It’s great - I love it when a writer can do that with his audience so well. Unsurprisingly Ed Brubaker and Sean Phillips have produced another cracking comic with their latest, Pulp. But he decides to make sure he goes out well - leaving his wife Rosa with enough to comfortably get by in her retirement and take out some Nazis too. It’s the winter of 1939 in New York City and the aptly-named Max Winter (not just because of the season the story takes place in but because Max is in the “winter” of his life), a struggling Western pulp fiction writer, gets some bad news. ![]() That’s the reason we survived so long… Because this world belongs to monsters. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Hickman penned numerous Ultimate Universe titles before bringing his intricate plotting to Avengers and New Avengers.

While not exactly generating rave reviews, with The Hollywood Reporter calling it “blandly watchable” and Roger deeming it “numbingly dull,” the source novel took audiences by storm, becoming a New York Times Best Seller instantly upon its release and ultimately remaining on the list for an incredible 65 weeks. Starring Jennifer Garner as abandoned wife Hannah Hall, who struggles to find answers following the unexpected exodus of her husband, Owen Michaels (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau), the thrilling seven-episode show hit the streamer earlier this month and is set to run through mid-May. What would you do if your husband suddenly disappeared without so much as a goodbye, leaving you alone to care for your teenage stepdaughter with only a hand-scrawled note stating “Protect her” to guide you? Such is the premise of “The Last Thing He Told Me,” the new Apple TV+ mystery series based upon author Laura Dave’s 2021 book of the same name. ![]() ![]() Madden who has six daughters ranging from 19 to 5 years of age. The novel opens in 1872 with the family of a widowed Dr. The pessimists call them useless, lost, futile lives. So many odd women–no making a pair with them. But what happens if there is no husband–by fate or by choice? What happens to these Odd Women (and there’s a double meaning here) who remain single? Under examination is the societal expectation that women will marry and move from their father’s economic cloak of care to suitable husbands who can take over that role. Published in 1893, in late Victorian England, The Odd Womenexamines ‘The Woman Question’–the shifting roles of women in a world of social change, and given the topic, it should come as no surprise that the novel concentrates on the lives of several women who make various choices–some traditional and some courageously non-traditional. ![]() ![]() In 2012, George Gissing’s novel, New Grub Streetmade my Best-of-the-Year list, so in 2013 it was time to pick up The Odd Women, and after reading this remarkable novel which I can’t praise enough, I can easily say that George Gissing has become a new favourite author. ![]() ![]() ![]() But in the end, it was the Union navy that won some of the war's most important strategic victories-as an essential partner to the army on the ground at Fort Donelson, Vicksburg, Port Hudson, Mobile Bay, and Fort Fisher, and all by itself at Port Royal, Fort Henry, New Orleans, and Memphis. Southern ironclads sent several Union warships to the bottom, naval mines sank many more, and the Confederates deployed the world's first submarine to sink an enemy vessel. Commerce raiders sank Union ships and drove the American merchant marine from the high seas. ![]() Meanwhile, the Confederate navy, dwarfed by its giant adversary, demonstrated daring and military innovation. McPherson recounts how the Union navy's blockade of the Confederate coast, leaky as a sieve in the war's early months, became increasingly effective as it choked off vital imports and exports. McPherson has crafted an enlightening, at times harrowing, and ultimately thrilling account of the war's naval campaigns and their military leaders. ![]() Although previously undervalued for their strategic impact because they represented only a small percentage of total forces, the Union and Confederate navies were crucial to the outcome of the Civil War. ![]() ![]() Even then, Christ is conflicted and thinks he’s acting in accord with the directions of an angel. That said, “scoundrel” status is only realized at the story’s end when Christ plays the Biblical role of Judas. ![]() Christ represents the path that Christianity would come follow - one of billionaire evangelists, manipulative missionaries, and the Spanish inquisition – as well as, less intentionally, the Crusades, witch hunts, and pedophilic priests. He’s compassionate, non-judgmental, simple (in the sense of eschewing wealth and glory,) and is a great storyteller. Jesus represents the traveling preacher that most people find appealing and admirable. The reason for complicating the story with twins is to be able to split apart two confounding entities. First, in this book, Mary gave birth to twins: one healthy, disciplined, and charismatic and one stunted, bookish, and with grand designs Second, the book tells the story in a way which requires no miracles or magic. ![]() ![]() Pullman tells the story of Jesus’s life from manger birth to the birth of the religion that flowed from Jesus’s crucifixion, with two major deviations from the gospel accounts. ![]() |
