6/30/2023 0 Comments Horton Hears a Who! by Dr. Seuss![]() ![]() Without waxing heavy or pretentious, the story, as presented here, has theological and metaphysical implications. The essential message remains good, decent and therapeutic. The characters spout words such as “ramifications” and “precocious,” but always the narrative is planted firmly on the ground. Ignoring the feel-good demands of the council, he knows the fate of his little universe depends on the goodness of his protector, who holds Whoville dear to his trunk, protecting the town from the likes of Vlad, the eagle (Will Arnett), dispatched by the sour kangaroo to search, steal and destroy the speck of teetering and tottering humanity balanced on a clover.Īs written and adapted by Cinco Paul and Ken Daurio, “Horton Hears a Who” entertains children while not playing down to them. His doppelganger, the mayor, is impelled by the same beneficent set of virtues. ![]() Of course, we know the truth: That Horton’s active imagination is based in reality, and better yet, in a cloud of compassion for all creatures great and small.

6/30/2023 0 Comments Rage becomes her by soraya chemaly![]() ![]() The Kavanaugh drama coincided with the first anniversary of the downfall of the multiply accused Hollywood superpredator Harvey Weinstein. The storm of sexual assault allegations that nearly derailed Kavanaugh's confirmation was just the latest reported conflagration of female fury. 'Tis the season to be angry if you're a woman in America-or so we're told. While Brown's piece was more clickbait than commentary, it was an extreme expression of a larger cultural moment.

I almost forgot that this was a fake relationship romance, because this couple is basically already in love when the book begins. ![]() |
