With this argument, if Willow's parents succeeded in winning the lawsuit by suing the doctor for medical malpractice, they could get millions that could be used for Willow's future medical expenses and equipment that would help her lead a comfortable life. In an encounter with a lawyer, they get a new insight: if Willow's condition could have been diagnosed earlier (during the ultrasound done at 18 weeks, where there was a tiny difference that the physician should have checked, but didn't), Charlotte could have had the pregnancy terminated.

You can find the Cinderella fairytale in nearly every culture across the world. But did you know he was just regurgitating a story that has been told around the world for eons? Who knew there was more than Disney’s version? Well, maybe smart people knew it was based on Charles Perrault’s telling in 1697. Little did I know about all the other Cinderella stories around the world. I’m sure I’ve seen it so many times it’s created permanent neural pathways in my brain and deep inroads into my psyche.

Or you may simply be an adult with enough good sense to let fairytales work their magic on you. You may be a teacher designing a unit study on multicultural Cinderella stories around the world. As bedridden Geraldine struggles to heal physically and emotionally, Joe, feeling stressed out about the lack of progress on the case, distracts himself by hanging out out with his friends Cappy, Zack, and Angus.

The next week, Geraldine, who is terrified to go outside, stays in her bed all day while Joe and Bazil read to her and bring her food that Joe’s aunt Clemence has prepared. The police take statements from Geraldine and Bazil, and Geraldine has surgery before Geraldine, Joe, and Bazil go home. At the hospital, Joe slowly begins to understand that Geraldine has been violently raped. Bazil, immediately realizing that something is wrong, drives Geraldine to the hospital with Joe. Joe and Bazil, relieved, head home, only to find Geraldine still sitting in her car, covered in vomit and blood and smelling like gasoline.

Throughout this time, the residents of Jeju find themselves caught between warring empires. The Island of Sea Women takes place over many decades, beginning during a period of Japanese colonialism in the 1930s and 1940s, followed by World War II, the Korean War, through the era of cell phones and wet suits for the women divers. As the girls take up their positions as baby divers, they know they are beginning a life of excitement and responsibility-but also danger.ĭespite their love for each other, Mi-ja and Young-sook find it impossible to ignore their differences. When they are old enough, they begin working in the sea with their village’s all-female diving collective, led by Young-sook’s mother. Mi-ja and Young-sook, two girls living on the Korean island of Jeju, are best friends who come from very different backgrounds. “A mesmerizing new historical novel” ( O, The Oprah Magazine) from Lisa See, the bestselling author of The Tea Girl of Hummingbird Lane, about female friendship and devastating family secrets on a small Korean island. In addition, I have read enough stories of WWII to know that the Japanese were often quite inhumane to their captives, so the attitudes in the writing are understandable. I can well remember the view of my family towards Japanese in years after WWII. The language used to refer to Japanese was troublesome to my modern sensibilities, but realistic for the time. But the Japanese officers were mostly shown in a very negative light, with more sympathy for the enlisted men who were accompanying the women on their treks. I loved the book, as a story, and did not think the aborigines were portrayed as poorly treated. And actually, I did not think too much about it myself, simply because I grew up in that era and recall how people spoke of minorities and particularly of the Japanese. I read it as a reflection of how a Brit of the immediate post-WWII period would write and think.

Ferneze says that Jews “stand accursed in the sight of heaven,” and it is therefore their burden alone to cover the debt. When Ferneze is short the tribute money Malta owes the Ottoman Empire, he taxes only Jewish people to pay the bill. Marlowe highlights religion’s hypocrisy through Malta’s Christian government and Ferneze, the governor, who cites religion as a reason to exploit Malta’s Jewish population. Through The Jew of Malta, Marlowe exposes the hypocrisy that he believes is often implicit in religious beliefs and ultimately argues that religion is a tool to secure power and wealth, not a guide for morality and righteousness. For Marlowe’s characters, religion is not a reason to behave in a morally upright way-it is a means to an end that allows them to behave however they want. What’s more, the friars from Malta’s Catholic churches, who lust for both sex and gold, claim the moral high ground but ignore their priestly vows. When the Turks come to Malta under the threat of war to collect the tribute money owed to the Ottoman Empire, the Maltese government exploits the island’s Jewish population to pay the country’s debt, and they do so in the name of Christianity. On the contrary, religion in The Jew of Malta is rife with hatred, deception, and hypocrisy. Marlowe’s depiction of religion is not one of morality, good will, and righteousness. While Christopher Marlowe hints at the importance of God’s will in The Jew of Malta, his play is nevertheless critical of religion and religious doctrine, especially Christianity. |
