Shiva, not knowing the boy's identity, decapitated him in anger. Shiva, her husband, arrived, the boy barred him, not knowing Shiva to be his father. According to the Shiva Purāṅa, Pārvatī fashioned a handsome boy out of the unguents and other applications she had used in her bath, and asked him to guard the entrance to her apartment against strangers. There are many different accounts of Gaṅesha birth. His real origin lies in India's far distant past even the compilers of the Purāṅas and other ancient writers have lost all track of it. Son of Shiva and Pārvatī, he is, however, not their natural offspring. GANESHA In Hinduism, no other god is as often invoked as Ganesha, or Ganapati, "lord of the gaṇas,"or Shiva's dwarf attendants, Gajānana, "he with the elephant's head." Predominantly the god of good luck, Ganesha is worshiped at the start of any important enterprise.

But she's not.Įven though Sadie isn't impressed by Jax's fame, he is drawn to her. If Sadie were normal-if she hadn't spent her life raising her mother and taking care of the house-maybe she'd be excited about working for a rock star.

After Mum’s death, Hazel, her other mother, Mama, and her little sister, Peach, needed a fresh start. But when a kayaking trip goes horribly wrong, Mum is suddenly gone forever and Hazel is left with crippling anxiety and a jagged scar on her face. Hazel Bly used to live in the perfect house with the perfect family in sunny California. Today we’re pleased to welcome Ashley Herring Blake to the WNDB blog to discuss her MG novel Hazel Bly and the Deep Blue Sea, out May 25, 2021! In fact, I think I have actually come to loathe this book. I do not read The Giving Tree to my kids. As Ruth Margalit wrote in her piece for the New Yorker that marked the 50th anniversary of the publication, " The Giving Tree at Fifty : Sadder than I Remembered," discovering that her childhood favorite "wasn't at all what I remembered carried with it a peculiar thrill, a kind of scientific proof that I'd grown up and changed." Recently while talking about this book with a customer, I had a very interesting experience that allowed me to express my adult feelings about The Giving Tree and contemplate how they have changed since I read it as a child. As a kid reading it, I knew there was something different about this book, that it stood out among the other picture books of the time. I still have the copy that was given to me by my brother on my 11th birthday in 1979 and I have memories of reading it as a kid and watching the animated version made in 1973 (narrated by Shel himself) and loving it very much. If you don't own it, I know you have read it or had it read to you at some point in your existence. I feel certain that most of you reading this right now own a copy of Shel Silverstein's 1964 book, The Giving Tree.

In fact, Kruger’s argument is that the 2nd century deserves to be studied because of the pivotal role it played as an episode in the broader narrative of Christianity’s overall development. Correspondingly, scholarly debates play an important but secondary role.Įxploring 2nd-century Christianity itself, however, is not the same as exploring 2nd-century Christianity for its own sake. Kruger’s primary purpose is to get the reader-probably a master’s student or advanced undergraduate -interested in exploring 2nd-century Christianity itself. Kruger emphasizes the ancient sources themselves: what they tell us about 2nd-century Christianity’s sociological makeup (chapter 1), intellectual or political aspirations and challenges (chapter 2), ecclesiological structure (chapter 3), diversity (chapter 4), unity (chapter 5), textuality (chapter 6), and scriptural canon (chapter 7). Kruger seeks to provide an accessible introduction to 2nd-century Christianity. In Christianity at the Crossroads: How the Second Century Shaped the Future of the Church, Michael J. Ovid himself attributes his exile to carmen et error, "a poem and a mistake", but his discretion in discussing the causes has resulted in much speculation among scholars. He enjoyed enormous popularity, but in one of the mysteries of literary history he was sent by Augustus into exile in a remote province on the Black Sea, where he remained until his death. He was the first major Roman poet to begin his career during the reign of Augustus, and the Imperial scholar Quintilian considered him the last of the Latin love elegists. Ovid is traditionally ranked alongside Virgil and Horace, his older contemporaries, as one of the three canonic poets of Latin literature. The Metamorphoses remains one of the most important sources of classical mythology. His poetry was much imitated during Late Antiquity and the Middle Ages, and greatly influenced Western art and literature. Publius Ovidius Naso (20 March 43 BCE – CE 17/18), known as Ovid (/ˈɒvɪd/) in the English-speaking world, was a Roman poet best known for the Metamorphoses, a 15-book continuous mythological narrative written in the meter of epic, and for collections of love poetry in elegiac couplets, especially the Amores ("Love Affairs") and Ars Amatoria ("Art of Love").
