47TH MISSOURI INFANTRY REGIMENT
Author of Two Other Civil War Books
Rain, Mud & Swamps
History of the 31st Missouri Infantry Regiment. This regiment fought in the Civil War under the command of Major-General William T. Sherman. They fought at Vicksburg, Lookout Mountain, Missionary Ridge, Ringgold Gap, Campaign to Atlanta, March to the Sea and the march through South Carolina and North Carolina.
66 Miles in 39 Hours
History of the retreat from Fort Davidson to Leasburg Missouri. General Thomas Ewing and the Union force surrounded at Fort Davidson in Pilot Knob, Missouri escaped the Confederate forces of General Sterling Price on September 28, 1864. They made their escape being closely followed by the cavalry divisions of Major General John S. Marmaduke and Brigadier General Jo Shelby.
I was born in St. Louis, Missouri and shortly thereafter moved to Bland, Missouri where I graduated from Bland High School in 1970. I attended Southwest Missouri State College (now University) in Springfield, Missouri with the hopes of becoming a history teacher. After one year I quit to become a husband and a father. I spent thirty years at Chrysler Corporation retiring from there in June 2002. I spent twelve years in the United States Army Reserve from 1972-1984 as a Drill Sergeant in the 85th Division (TNG). My Military Occupation of Service (MOS) was 11Bravo4X (Mechanized Infantry) 19Echo4X (Armor) and 19Delta4X (Cavalry Scout) I have always been interested in history, especially Military history of the United States. I became a born again Christian in 1973 and have been attending Southern Baptist churches ever since.
I am a member of the following organizations.
U.S. Grant Camp # 68 Department of Missouri of the Sons of Union Veterans, 2nd Missouri Infantry Regiment (Sons of Veteran Reserve of the Sons of Union Veterans), The Missouri Civil War Museum, Missouri Military Order of the Loyal Legion of the United States, U.S. Cavalry Association, Company C 5th Missouri Cavalry Regiment (Sons of Veteran Reserve and Re-enacting Cavalry), Friends of Jefferson Barracks in St. Louis, Friends of Fort Lewis in Washington, Missouri Society for Military History and Life Member of National Rifle Association.
I have given Civil War presentations to various historical societies, boy scout groups, schools and churches. My hope when I give a presentation to schools is that I can influence one child to become interested in history who thought it was boring before.
My Wife and I purchased a bed & breakfast in Ste. Genevieve, MO named Somewhere Inn Time and are now enjoy meeting the many people who come and stay with us.

Just as the Capella Library’s Reference and Interlibrary Loan Services are going to take a break from December 22 through January 1, Off the Shelf will also be on hiatus during that time.
The librarians won’t be answering phone or email questions, but we will be collecting them. If you have a question that can wait until the first week of January for an answer, please send it our way.
There will also be several librarians at the Anaheim Colloquium. While at the colloquium you can sign up for individual reference appointments or attend a Capella Library session.
For those of you in a first course that is currently under way, or who are diligently researching for your dissertation, you will still be able to access the library’s resources, including our Guides and Tutorials page.
See you in January!

One of my earliest memories is of my dad taking me to join the local library. I was four or five years old and was allowed to borrow three books. Not one, not two, but three! I was hugely excited. Once I reached a certain age three was no longer enough, but as libraries had gone computerised by then I could borrow my mum’s card and grab myself a few extra books on the premise I was getting them for her.
It wasn’t only my love of books that made the library and important place. It was where I used to go with my best friend. We both found it an incredible and absorbing environment. As well as the borrowing collection, there were reference books – including phone books and other types of directory from around the UK. It was as if you could find out anything you wanted in a library. Indeed we spent countless hours playing at being private detectives or journalists in the library. I think the librarians got sick of us. I remember them viewing us with some suspicion. Not that I think we particularly misbehaved when we were there. Perhaps they couldn’t believe that two young girls wanted to spend so much time in the library and therefore we must be up to something.
The library was to us what the internet is to youngsters today, a huge source of information in one place. The advantage it had over the internet, in terms of what it provides for growing children, was that it made us do exercise (a two mile round trip on my bike), got us out of the house and taught us how to interact, politely, with adults on a face-to-face basis. Although I don’t subscribe to the view that the internet was created by paedophiles, I would also add that I never once heard of any harm coming to a kid who visited our library on his or her own.
As I got older I found I’d outgrown the local library’s selection of books so I used to take the bus to the next town and borrow from there instead. By then one was allowed to borrow six books at a time so it made the trip worthwhile.
One thing that used to irritate me about going to the library though was the lack of a public toilet. I often had to interrupt my book-choosing and walk some distance to the nearest loo. It was a pain in the arse. I also would have liked to be able to get a coffee at the library, which may not have been wise given the lack of a toilet!
But the lack of facilities not related to books is what made me write this blog, or rather the opposite issue. Libraries, or at least some of them, are moving with the times. Not everyone approves however.
I think there is a chance of going too far with modernisation. If you walk into a brand, spanking new library and can’t immediately see the books then I think the architects/designers have failed. Libraries are about books.
In the 21st century libraries also have to be about providing information in the modern way. Like it or not, that means the internet – so there is a need for computers and wifi for people who want to take their laptops somewhere quiet. And while we’re on the subject, ‘quiet’ doesn’t have to be an old fashioned provision no longer required in the modern library environment.
Libraries should feature quietness as much as they feature books. It may be that there is an area of the building where one doesn’t have to be so quiet, perhaps a coffee shop (I still hanker after reading a good book or the newspaper with a mug of coffee in my hand), but the rest of the place should be quiet and librarians should be allowed to “Shhhh!” transgressors.
Although, given that times have moved on, perhaps we’d also need security staff (read ‘bouncers’) to police this, or someone might assault the librarian for infringing their human rights to talk and laugh noisily wherever they are and whoever they might be disturbing. Or perhaps book lovers aren’t quite so aggressive as that?
They are currently building a new library/community hub where I live and although I am looking forward to it opening I am apprehensive about what I’ll find there. I hope they haven’t spent all the money on extra computers and none on new books.

Each chapter deals with a different aspect covering the following topics: communication, ways of relaxing, love in the bedroom, upkeep of the home, parenting, teamwork, conflict, and goal setting. Bill and Pam advise couples to cut the hot lead. Questions and exercises help readers apply the principles to their own lives. Bill and Pam Farrel explain why a man is like a waffle each element of his life is in a separate box , why a woman is life spaghetti everything in her life touches everything else , and what these differences mean. Women consistently sense the need to talk things through. We used it when we were married and continue to use it now that we are apart. Biblical insights, sound research, humorous anecdotes, and real life stories make this guide entertaining and practical.
Or better yet, go hear the Farrels speak! With hope-filled truth, the Farrels are the best friends a couple can have when marriage is at its most challenging. It is clear why this book has impacted so many couples over the years. This is what pissed me off the most. This book isn't just theory; it contains wisdom from two people who've done marriage right. A man would not be able to identify most of these items. I gave the rating I did because it was extremely repetitive and a little sexist at times. Maybe because I was listening to the audio edition? Waffles and Spaghetti in Your House As you prepare for your future marriage, I would strongly recommend adding to your library.
Laughter, energy, and dynamic principles are oozing out of this couple wherever they go and whatever they do! Pack a toothbrush, some lingerie, and a bathing suit and head out! You can't help but walk away with a new nugget here and there. Publication date 2001 Men Are Like Waffles — Women Are Like Spaghetti is a 2001 book written by Bill and Pam Farrell, co-directors and founders of organization Masterful Living. I would have to agree with some of the other reviews. To understand the analogy you have to read a little bit of the book. When he is playing ball, he is playing ball. This book outlines the common ground and how to communicate in ways that both parties feel they are be heard. Susie and Bethany are getting to be good friends, and I think we should get to know her parents as well.
This book I'm not in a relationship right now, but with a title of Men are Like Waffles -- Women are Like Spaghetti, I just couldn't pass this book up. I was dating when I first read this a few years back but I can honestly say that I still pull from it being single today. The only reason I kept going was because I wanted to be able to write this review with the whole picture. It is no stretch to say that marriages have literally been saved through their powerful ministry. Whether you are married or single, you will gain great insight from their book, Men Are Like Waffles—Women Are Like Spaghetti. This book sounds really fun and interesting. I am so excited that they didn't rule me out because I am a woman.
The tips I focused on today are only a few pearls of wisdom contained in this book! If you want to know why sometimes in one day your marriage can go from ecstasy to exasperation, you need to read this book. Despite the frustration, the vast majority of us have an undeniable desire to have great relationships with the opposite sex. The communication styles of men and women are dramatically different and the ways we process information are dramatically different. My wife and I just celebrated 40 years together and so often find ourselves referring back to this great treasury of advice, humor, wisdom, and biblical precedent! One of my favorite chapters in the book is Chapter 6: Waffles and Spaghetti in Conflict, Hot Waffles and Simmering Marinara. Once you discover how your spouse processes feelings and thoughts, you're on your way to a happy and healthy relationship Join more than 300,000 other readers as you learn to energize your communication with strategies that work, ignite romance with new ideas to spice up your marriage, and empower your parenting with your combined insights and influence. She is usually good at multi-tasking.
Women think sex is a sign of love, and men think love is a sign of sex. Love this book and recommend it all the time! Their books have been life changing, and Men Are Like Waffles—Women Are Like Spaghetti is a must read to understand the very real differences between men and women. Through fun and humor, they give practical ideas to help each of us use these differences to create more intimacy and understanding in our marriage. Offspring: A woman knows all about her children. I think it is important we are there because the Johnsons are going to be there, and I really want you to meet them. Passwords can bring conflicts to a screeching halt when they spiraling out of control, but be careful not to use passwords to manipulate each other e. The Farrels share biblical wisdom and practical insights with a large dose of humor.
Kevin Leman, bestselling author of The Birth Order Book and Sheet Music Let Your Differences Make You Irresistible to Each Other While a man tends to deal with one problem or purpose at a time moving from waffle square to waffle square , a woman's thoughts generally flow together like spaghetti noodles. A man is vaguely aware of some short people living in the house. They had just written this book, and we basically heard all of the book's content during that weekend. I always keep extra copies to give to husbands and wives to help them understand how men and women communicate and process information differently. There were mumbled and fumbled bits, which was distracting. Together, they've written several other books. It was very personal and awkward to listen to.
Debt-Proof Your Marriage: How to Achieve Financial Harmony. If she is able to connect all the issues together, the answer to the question at hand bubbles to the surface and is readily accepted. So, talk about the long-range effects of a life together, and maybe those sex talks will take on a whole new perspective! Congratulations, Pam and Bill, for your steadfastness on what God has called you to do. Find all the ingredients for creating a fabulous recipe of loving, working, and winning together. The basic premise was fine. It addresses relationship issues like communication and meeting each other's needs, along with things tha Parts of this book were really great, other parts of it really ticked me off.
Together, we come alongside families to save marriages, equip parents, rescue preborn babies, defend biblical principles and more Focus Reviewed Every resource in our store has been reviewed by Focus on the Family to ensure that it is biblically sound. Their thoughts and speech are all interconnected like wires, spaghetti strands, one thought leads to another and back to the one over there. . I highly recommend this book to everyone! It changed my approach to men and women. I know I will be using this book often for marriage seminars and retreats and recommending it to couples to read on their own. They process life connecting every thought and issue to every other thought and issue. They are very funny, and their stage banter is engaging and genuine.
These differences are the cause of conflict. Not every generalization fits every person, but enough will fit to make you smile. I feel like the jokes were included just to fill up space and make the book seem more substantial than it is. When he is watching television, he is watching television. The goal of this book is to get husbands and wives to recognize these differences in a fun way in order to make them work for building a better marriage. This is your chance to understand the world of the waffle or spaghetti brained other sex. And any information is worthwhile if it keeps a relationship growing in a healthy direction.

Read our discussion of this book
Book Description Matthew Pearl's historical literary fiction picks up where Dickens left off in "The Mystery of Edwin Drood." Tragically, Dickens' mystery is destined never to be truly solved, as Dickens died before he could finish this novel. All that he left are the clues that can be found in the completed chapters. Pearl sends a partner of Dickens' American publisher, James Osgood, to the Dickens' estate in England where we meet the "fugitives" from the characters of Dickens' novel. Is Edwin Drood dead or alive? Was he killed by his uncle, John Jasper? Or did he somehow escape that fate, possibly to return later? We are anticipating more intrigue as Pearl's fictional characters search for answers in the author's well-researched fiction.

The fictional police officer Harry Bosch is the hero of numerous novels by the American thriller writer Michael Connelly. The author himself fell for jazz and passed his passion to the character. As a result, the style of music plays a significant role in all of Connelly’s Harry Bosch novels. In a sense, it functions as the ideal background for the dark stories, which have been expressed in the TV series for the books. In the Amazon Prime show, Bosch viewers get a good impression of the musical taste of the author and his hero.
In Connelly’s central work Echo Park from 2006, a jazz album has a special part. The album is Thelonious Monk with John Coltrane at Carnegie Hall, New York City from 1957. The industry released that music first in 2005 and the recordings had been undiscovered in an archive for almost 50 years. Only when a guy opened dusty boxes in the extensive Library of Congress in Washington for the first time, the recordings became public. It is the only publicly documented live collaboration between Thelonious Monk and John Coltrane. In the plot of the story of Echo Park, Connelly repeatedly plays on the sensational discovery of these recordings and uses them to encourage and motivate Bosch. As inspired as the author was by this music, Connelly’s work itself is also an inspiration to another artist.
Fictional Record Cover
The American cartoonist Russell Walks is a big fan of the books and the series, and so, he has come up with something special. Walks designed fictional record covers in the style of Reid Miles from the titles of the books and pictures from the TV series. Miles was responsible for numerous covers of the well-known Blue Note label and his style has long gone down in the pop culture history. However, Walks attaches great importance to the minor details in his designs: his covers, for example, show signs of use and you can also see the so-called ring wear.
Playlists and Websites Provide an Insight
Michael Connelly also indulges in his passion for jazz intensively. Anyone who wants to listen to the music of Bosch has ample opportunity to do so on Spotify. Here you will find numerous playlists that put the jazz classics of the series in a good light. Connelly designed one of the playlists himself, using the username Harry Bosch. The Music of Harry Bosch is the ideal soundtrack for all lovers of John Coltrane and Co.
Years ago, Connelly even released an exclusive CD with music from his books. He passed this on to his fans during a book tour through the USA. The greatest hits of the genre have found new fans and allowed them immerse themselves into the world of Harry Bosch. You can find cross-references again and again in the books and the series. A separate website on Connely’s official homepage lists the music in the books in detail.

Ginger Snaps: My Sister, My Other, A Force of Nature
©Lions Gate Films 2000
As part of my recent dissertation titled "The Babe in the Woods: Feminist Views on 21st Century Cinematic Retellings of Little Red Riding Hood", I analysed the Canadian horror film Ginger Snaps (2000) (a line from which titles this blog). In this analysis I investigate Ginger Snap's use of the fairy tale of "Little Red Riding Hood", where period blood is a red cape, and where the wolf is a threat from within.
Ginger Snaps uses lycanthropy as an allegory for menstruation and sexual awakening and features two sisters, Ginger and Brigitte, who have not had their periods yet, even though they are both 15. Blood in general turns out to be of central importance in Ginger Snaps. The film opens with the sisters talking of their blood pledge to commit joint suicide at the age of 16: “Out on the scene and dead by 16, but together forever”. The sisters feel that growing up and thereby conforming is a fate worse than death. The site where Ginger simultaneously gets her period and is bitten by the wolf is relevant, as it takes place on a playground. Before the wolf attacks, a wind makes a little white pony ride-on bounce back and forth and creak. The image of the white horse is used here as a symbol of childhood innocence, and is contrasted and threatened by the darker forces of adulthood and the approaching wolf. Before the wolf attacks, we see Ginger’s period blood run down her thigh, and Brigitte screams during the attack that the wolf was attracted to its smell. This is a very brazen interpretation of the Little Red Riding Hood story which avoids all squeamishness on the subject, as it uses the symbolism of Charles Perrault’s tale completely literally. In Perrault’s tale the wolf is attracted to the young girl because of the red colour of her cape, or more accurately: because of what the colour signifies. In the case of Ginger, her sexual maturity is in evidence through the fact that she is having her period, and the wolf, both perceived literally as a bloodthirsty animal and symbolically as a predatory man, is attracted to the blood and to what the blood signifies, respectively. Contrary to what the girls believe, the onset of Ginger’s womanhood turns out to be the opposite of conforming and being ‘normal’. In fact, Brigitte is the one who increasingly conforms, while Ginger challenges the borders of what is socially acceptable. Ginger's sexual hunger which arrives with her ovulation two weeks after the incident, is closely linked to her hunger for killing, and in fact, Ginger cannot distinguish between the two. In the following quote she describes how she feels while killing humans and likening it to an orgasm:
“It feels so good. It’s like touching yourself, you know every move, right on the fucking dot! Then after, see fireworks! Supernovas. I’m a goddamn force of nature, I feel like I could do just about anything.”
Ginger’s joy in her newfound power is completely unchecked by herself, but Ginger’s ‘sane double’, her little sister, takes the controlling role. From the point where Ginger’s new powers prove ‘anti-social’, Brigitte attempts to suppress Ginger. I see this relationship as really just one girl trying to conform to society, attempting to suppress the wild sexuality within. Tellingly, the name Ginger also refers to the colour red, while Brigitte means ‘strength’. Ginger, like Little Red Riding Hood, is associated with the colour red and all that this signifies of passion and abandon. Brigitte, on the other hand, is associated with strength - in this instance the strength to control and suppress. Thus Brigitte and Ginger become the struggle within one girl to deal with her burgeoning sexuality which is here the true wolf of the fairy tale. Seen from the perspective of Sandra M. Gilbert and Susan Gubar, Ginger is “the madwoman in the attic”, and Brigitte’s mad double. The main male character of the film is Sam, with whom Brigitte forms a friendship and potential love relationship. Because Sam has already successfully killed a werewolf and is intent on finding a cure for lycanthropy, I liken him to the hunter figure who seeks to keep the wild beasts of man in check. Ginger is wary of Brigitte’s friendship with Sam as she, correctly, identifies him as someone out to put an end to her newfound lust for sex and life.
At the bloody conclusion of the film Sam and Brigitte attempt to give Ginger, who is now fully transformed into a werewolf, the cure. Ginger kills Sam and attacks Brigitte, who screams: “I’m not dying in this room with you!” and fatally stabs Ginger. Finally Brigitte owns up to not wanting to be “together forever” and that she intends to conform to society. While Ginger is dying, Brigitte holds her and cries while looking at the photos on the wall of the two of them together. Brigitte is thus mourning the death of the beast within, but understands that it is the only way that she can survive. The film ends with this scene rather than any kind of happy ending, which indicates that the ending is indeed meant to be tragic rather than an instance of the triumph of good over evil.
At first glance Ginger Snaps ultimately seems more rebellious in its words than in its plot. The combination of a consciously feminist script, and the more conventional portrayal of female sexuality as monstrous, as criticised by Barbara Creed, does not offer any solutions or even alternative role models for that which it verbally criticises. I see it as being through the fairy tale angle that its more subtle and hidden rebellion is found. Its use of “Little Red Riding Hood” and its connection to the period is ingenious, and cleverly lays open the hidden messages in the use of the colour red. Ginger becomes a fertile and sexual woman the moment she wears her version of the red cloak: her period blood. Her sudden sexual appetite is then directly connected to the basic physical changes of a girl entering puberty, and the film does not stint on addressing exactly what happens during the woman's monthly cycle. This connection of the fairy tale of “Little Red Riding Hood” to the physiological changes rather than cultural changes surrounding girl- and womanhood, then manages similarly to focus on the fear of biological change, rather than a fear for which culture has found symbolic substitutes – such as sin and guilt. The use of the hunter is also interesting as Brigitte mourns the death of the wolf far more than the death of him, her potential lover and protector. In fact, the male character in the film is a side-note compared to the centrality of Ginger and Brigitte’s relationship. Brigitte’s love for and battle with the wolf, becomes the story of a woman's navigation between what comes natural and of what is expected of her, very much like when Gilbert and Gubar saw a hidden feminist rebellion in Snow White's mad double: the evil queen. Brigitte and her mad double, Ginger, love each other, but the conservative world they live in demands that only Brigitte is allowed to survive. The film’s ending is therefore tragic from a feminist perspective. Ginger Snaps surprises, both by being able to conform to the expectations of the horror genre’s monstrous feminine, while exhibiting a more hidden feminist rebellion. This retelling of the fairy tale thus manages to continue the old tradition of superficially conforming, but secretly objecting to the society into which it is told.

WHAT THE GROWN-UPS SAY
Fab book! My 4 year old daughter absolutely loves this book. This is a great story for little ones and would 100% recommend.
With some adventurous twists and turns, and colourful illustrations, this book is a very clever way of introducing new languages in a fun way. My child loved it!

history in hand
At The General Theological Seminary, anyone wishing to see a copy of “Malles” should book a visit to the Special Collection’s reading room. Books are delicate, so please wash your hands before touching them.
One of the striking aspects is its size. “Mellius” is less than 8 inches in length and is 190 pages. The book was intended to travel with readers and to be stored in coats and bags.
Our copy dates from 1492 and was published by Peter Dratch, a well-known bookbinding company in Speyer, Germany. This makes it a rare example of “incurable”, as scholars date European books published before about 1501, the earliest period of printing.
After much wear, this copy was repainted in leather in the 19th century. A short handwritten note covers most pages. For example, on page 48, one reader counted the numbers three and on the second page the words “fun religious tour.” Many pages have hand-drawn arrows that point to paragraphs.
Another point to consider when looking at this edition is its source: who has owned it for years. This copy is originally from the collection of the Rev. Edwin A. Darlingple, who was pastor of the Virginia School and Episcopal Church in the mid-19th century. The book was moved from its shelf to the Maryland Parish Library until it entered our library system.

Movement and the Brain
Research shows that children need to physically experience concepts in order to truly grasp them.
Why? The answer is the cerebellum. This small part of our brain that processes our movement makes up only 1/10th of brain volume, yet contains nearly half of all its neurons, most of which influence the rest of the brain.
A pathway has been found from the cerebellum to the parts of the brain that involve learning, language, and memory. That means that the same part of the brain that processes movement is the same part of the brain that processes learning.
So, since movement is the child’s preferred mode of learning, and movement is tied to learning, the theory is children should move while they are learning! That is the exact venue that Reading Wave provides.


Hello everyone! I hope you’re all having a good day! Today I am going to be reviewing the book “Arabian Nights” by Sir Richard Burton. The book I read is written in Victorian English and is 716 pages long. I don’t normally go for books with short stories but the reason why I read this is… I wanted to read the original version of the book I read when I was eight. Reading this really changed my outlook.
Book name: Arabian Nights
Author: Sir Richard Burton
Genre: Fairy Tale, Fiction.
The Arabian Nights, also known as The Thousand and One Nights is a collection of fables, fairy tales, romances, and historical stories, originating from various ethnic sources, including India, Persia, and Arabia. The mainframe concerns a Persian king and his new bride, Scheherazade (My I had trouble spelling that out!). The Persian king, Shahryar, is shocked to discover that his brother’s wife is unfaithful and is shocked to discover his own wife to be even more blatant. In his bitterness and grief, he decided that all women are the same and should be punished. He begins to marry a succession of virgins, only to execute each one, before she has a chance to hurt him. Eventually, it is Scheherazade’s turn. On the night before her execution, she begins to tell the king a tale but does not end it. The king, curious about the conclusion, postpones her execution to the next day. The next night, she ends the tale and begins a new one. But only begins it. The king, eager to hear the conclusion, postpones her execution once more. So it goes on for A Thousand and One Nights. (It is unclear as to whether he executes her or not in my edition of the book).
I usually do not give books such a low rating. Although this book was interesting to read and the stories were very capturing, there was something very shameful. Women treated like they were dirt. Even the women of high standards are considered a thing of pleasure and worthless. A doll, if I may say. They have no other job other than looking after the house and look pretty. I may be biased because I am a feminist. Actually, I am sure I am biased.
I heard about Arabian Nights as a child, but the stories that I read had women who were fighters. even princesses were brave and could do whatever the hell they wanted to. I was under the impression that all the things in the world nowadays, did not exist back then. ( Mind you I was like eight then!) But now, after knowing the truth and having read this book, not at all!
In my life, I have seen various examples of women being treated unequally. I have seen men say that women are weaker, women cannot work after marriage, women cannot go out in the evenings and they cannot do a hundred different things that men can. I live in India. In typical Hindu families, there is a rule that women must always cover her face with her saree when she is in front of her in-laws. Here most women are not allowed to wear western clothes, i.e., t-shirt and jeans. I am not disrespecting any religion, but what is the reason for which women are considered to be so weak and fragile?
Don’t get me wrong. The stories are really capturing and fascinating. But the fact that fathers could sell off their daughters, suitors could buy them, women being nothing but a toy, women having to sell themselves for money, is just too much.
Don’t let my views cloud yours! I’ll give you two reasons to read it: 1. the stories are good and most have a strong moral.
2. It’ll give you a really good description of how women were treated. (especially in countries like India, Persia, and Arabia) I would really recommend this to people my age who need to discover how women were treated and may not want to read lengthy textbooks.
Thank you for reading! Let me know in the comments your thoughts on this book, whether you have read it, or would you like to read it?


The Tale of Two Bad Mice is a children's book written and illustrated by Beatrix Potter, and published by Frederick Warne & Co. in September 1904.
Potter took inspiration for the tale from two mice caught in a cage-trap in her cousin's home and a dollhouse being constructed by her editor and publisher Norman Warne as a Christmas gift for his niece Winifred. During the course of the tale's development, Potter and Warne fell in love and became engaged, much to the annoyance of Potter's parents who were grooming their daughter to be a permanent resident and housekeeper in their London home.
The tale is about two mice who vandalize a dollhouse. After finding the food on the dining room table made of plaster, they smash the dishes, throw the doll clothing out the window, tear the bolster, and carry off a number of articles to their mouse-hole. When the little girl who owns the dollhouse discovers the destruction, she positions a policeman doll outside the front door to ward off any future depredation. The two mice atone for their crime spree by putting a crooked sixpence in the doll's stocking on Christmas Eve and sweeping the house every morning with a dust-pan and broom.

"A Distinct Community"
A Georgia court convicted Samuel Worcester of settling in Cherokee Nation territory without obtaining a state license. Worcester appealed the case to the U.S. Supreme Court, which overturned the decision in 1832. The court also laid down guiding principles on the relationship between Native American tribes, states, and the nation. John Marshall described the Cherokee Nation as “a distinct community” over which “the laws of Georgia have no force… [except] with the assent of the Cherokees themselves…” The ruling thus accorded Native American tribes important elements of sovereignty, which have been reinforced in hundreds of cases since that time. Yet the ruling did not protect the Cherokees and other Native American tribes from oppression. Perhaps best known to Georgians is the forced removal of Native Americans from the state on the infamous “Trail of Tears.”
