![]() ![]() I first picked up The Demon Catchers of Milan (by Kat Beyer) because the story line sounded like something different from most of the other young adult fiction I’ve read in the past. ![]() ![]() Milan is not what Mia expected, but it will change her forever, in this stunningly well-written novel about an American girl who, fleeing an ancient evil, finds her only salvation in her ancestral home. Now her cousins Emilio and Giuliano say the only way to keep her safe is for her to come back with them to Milan, to live, to learn Italian, to fall in and out of love, and to master the family trade: fighting all demons with the lore of bell, book, and candle. Mia’s ordinary life is disrupted in the most horrifying way possible when she is possessed by a hungry and powerful demon–and only saved by the arrival of relatives from Italy, the country her grandfather fled many decades ago. ![]()

His mother became the model for the foolish but strong Amanda Wingfield in The Glass Menagerie, while his father represented the aggressive, driving Big Daddy in Cat on a Hot Tin Roof. The family situation, however, did offer fuel for the playwright's art. "It was just a wrong marriage," Williams later wrote. Often strained, the Williams home could be a tense place to live. His parent's marriage certainly didn't help. The carefree nature of his boyhood was stripped in his new urban home, and as a result, Williams turned inward and started to write. But life changed for him when his family moved to St. Williams described his childhood in Mississippi as pleasant and happy. Raised predominantly by his mother, Williams had a complicated relationship with his father, a demanding salesman who preferred work instead of parenting. Williams was born Thomas Lanier Williams on March 26, 1911, in Columbus, Mississippi, the second of Cornelius and Edwina Williams' three children. Many of Williams' plays have been adapted to film starring screen greats like Marlon Brando and Elizabeth Taylor. On March 31, 1945, his play, The Glass Menagerie, opened on Broadway and two years later A Streetcar Named Desire earned Williams his first Pulitzer Prize. After college, Tennessee Williams moved to New Orleans, a city that would inspire much of his writing. ![]() 5/19/2023 0 Comments Letizia treves national gallery![]() Treves points out that Artemisia's “life story is intertwined with her art”. ![]() In recent decades, there has been growing interest in the artist, because of both her astonishing personal story and increasing concern that female painters have been underrepresented in art history and museum displays. Letizia Treves, the National Gallery’s curator, says that this will enable us to see “the real Artemisia”. The exhibition will be focused on paintings that have almost universally accepted attributions, excluding those that are seriously questioned by some specialists. The newly conserved painting went on display today (19 December). This follows its recent purchase of her Self-portrait as Saint Catherine of Alexandria (1615-17). In 2020, the National Gallery in London is to hold a major exhibition on Artemisia Gentileschi, arguably Europe’s greatest female Old Master (April-July 2020). ![]() 5/19/2023 0 Comments Catnapped by Pippa Goodhart![]() Overall this book would provide a useful tool at circle time to promote discussions amongst the class and to introduce choice to them and this then lead to onto identifying various choices that they have to make within their lives everyday whilst assigning reasons as to why they have chosen that specific choice. This could subsequently be overcome by asking the class if they have any foods that they enjoy at home more than what they can see on the page they can use them. However where I feel that this book lacked is that it does not tend to cater for ethnic minorities, like in the food category, and this could limit what some of the children would like to choose. This allows for a great discussion within the classroom and would allow you to help further their opinions by asking why they have chosen that specific one. what would you eat, and provides a variety of choices that the children can choose from. ![]() ![]() Yellow Bananas: Catnapped : Pippa Goodhart : 9780431061900 We use cookies to give you the best possible experience.
