While women are simple straight lines, the males are full polygons. In the first half of his treatise, A Square painstakingly describes the social landscape of Flatland, which is strictly regulated by natural laws as dictated by the Circles, the priests that make up the highest class. The narrator and protagonist of Flatland, A Square, writes from prison, intricately detailing the social organization of his country and recounting the revelations he has received from the sacred “Sphere.” Flatland is a world that exists on the two-dimensional plane, where its inhabitants-literal geometrical shapes-live in a highly-structured society organized into classes based on the number of sides of a figure. ![]() 5/29/2023 0 Comments The day you begin author![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() This production is suitable for all ages-children, teens, and adults alike-but best suited for ages 7–12.

Ironically, this myth of the purity of children and the consequent innocence of children's books has given the picture book an ideological scope of influence far exceeding that of any "fallen," and therefore critically scrutinized, literary domain. ![]() But the long-established myth of the innocence and transparency of the children's book, particularly the picture book, works as powerfully today as it has in the past to designate children's literature a genre worthy of only marginal critical attention.1 As Jacqueline Rose explains, "Children's fiction has never completely severed its links with a philosophy which sets up the child as a pure point of origin in relation to language, sexuality and the state" (8). It would seem, then, that the function of children's books as the first print texts used to assimilate the modern child into literacy, and consequently into culture, should guarantee a central place in cultural studies for children's literature. May we one day find a land where there are no women, and war only, for in that land we shall grow great.Ĭultural studies has enabled literary critics to recognize the ideological influence of all texts, from classics to mail-order catalogues and tattoos. ![]() 5/29/2023 0 Comments The Art of the LP by Johnny Morgan![]() Tod was the driving force behind Unit:187 throughout the years, and toke an active role in every writing session - his vision helped mold the sound you hear as the present-day band. Every Zimmer's Hole show was not to be missed, as costumes, explosions, and fake blood were common-place. In 1999, Tod's live antics earned him a spot playing keyboards and samples for the notorious Vancouver metal band, Zimmer's Hole. Quickly Tod honed his live presence, melding influences from frontmen such as Jelo Biafra, becoming a great showman and making every Unit:187 show memorable in some way. In 1994, Tod met up with John Morgan after a local live show, and they both started a band together that eventually became Unit:187. ![]() Tod would be front and center causing as much mischief as possible when bands like Skinny Puppy, Circle Jerks, and the Dayglos would play. Tod Law came on to the Industrial / Punk scene through authentic roots, hanging out on the streets of Vancouver during the late 80's and early 90's, taking in as many live shows as he could while working at a local record store. ![]() 5/28/2023 0 Comments Grass keum suk![]() ![]() The cartoonist Gendry-Kim's interviews with Lee become an integral part of Grass, forming the heart and architecture of this powerful nonfiction graphic novel and offering a holistic view of how Lee's wartime suffering changed her.
