After years of conflict, Troy has settled into a comfortable middle-aged life with his wife Rose and son Cory. The story of the two-act play centers on Troy Maxson, a trash collector and former ballplayer in Pittsburgh. I'd never read it, but I've seen the movie with Denzel Washington and Viola Davis, which I now know is a pretty faithful rendition. Our department decided that our "common text"-the one book we all have to teach-would be August Wilson's Fences, part of his "Pittsburgh Cycle" of plays and an extremely popular book to read in high school. I'm excited to teach the eleventh grade next year, for the first time in years-American Lit. Then you come up and knock on the front door. You stay on the other side of that fence until you ready for me. Ain't nobody else got nothing to do with this. when the top of your list say Troy Maxson. I ain't gonna fall down on my vigilance this time. See? You stay over there until you're ready for me. And then I want you to stay on the other side. See? I'm gonna build me a fence around what belongs to me. I'm gonna take and build me a fence around this yard. TROY: (With a quiet rage that threatens to consume him.) Alright. Auston’s in.”The reveling drew the mockery of the rest of a nation that loves to hate the Leafs. One of the chain’s billboards cheekily reads: “Boston’s out. The popular Canadian franchise Boston Pizza unofficially changed its name to Auston Pizza, a nod to Leafs superstar Auston Matthews (and the fact that highly touted rival Boston infamously lost in Round 1). “I didn’t think we’d ever do it.”One tattoo shop is offering a promotion for the Maple Leaf logo. For the largest city in hockey-obsessed Canada, the two-decade string of playoff futility was at turns darkly comic and tragic but always a subject of deep civic angst.Yesterday’s game was like the first sunny, balmy day after a dark Canadian winter. Instead, it was only the first game of Round 2 of the playoffs – the quarterfinals.So why all the fuss? It was the first time in 19 years that the Maple Leafs made it even this far. But the crowd was exultant, their faces smeared blue as they cheered on their Maple Leafs amid the high-rises of downtown Toronto.The unknowing would be forgiven for thinking Tuesday night’s game was to clinch hockey’s famous Stanley Cup. It was unseasonably cold, with a miserable rain that hadn’t let up for days. When news of her three hundredth kill makes her a national heroine, Mila finds herself torn from the bloody battlefields of the eastern front and sent to America on a goodwill tour. Given a rifle and sent to join the fight, Mila must forge herself from studious girl to deadly sniper-a lethal hunter of Nazis known as Lady Death. In 1937 in the snowbound city of Kyiv, wry and bookish history student Mila Pavlichenko organizes her life around her library job and her young son-but Hitler’s invasion of Ukraine and Russia sends her on a different path. The bestselling author of The Rose Code returns with an unforgettable World War II tale of a quiet bookworm who becomes history’s deadliest female sniper.

Because such metaphors structure our most basic understandings of our experience, they are "metaphors we live by"-Metaphors that can shape our perceptions and actions without our ever noticing them Metaphor, the authors explain, is a fundamental mechanism of mind, one that allows us to use what we know about our physical and social experience to provide understanding of countless other subjects. The now-classic Metaphors We Live By changed our understanding of metaphor and its role in language and the mind. ‘The Christmas Day Kitten’ is a story about Mrs Pickering, who lived in a beautiful sprawling Yorkshire farmhouse. Complemented with detailed and beautiful drawings by the illustrator Ruth Brown, ‘The Christmas Day Kitten’ is a lovely addition to our library of Christmas books. The reason that I like it so much is because it doesn’t read as a child’s tale but as a simple story told by Herriot with a focus on a message that is meaningful during this time of year. Last year, a friend on Instagram recommended ‘The Christmas Day Kitten’ by James Herriot as a lovely festive picture book. James Herriot’s writing is a particular comfort read of mine and his heartwarming tales around his busy veterinary practice in Yorkshire are the perfect cozy books to read around Christmas.

He's a minister at a small church in upstate New York that's more of a historical tourist attraction than a functional place of worship, and when we first meet him, he seems to think about climate change the way a lot of us do, or used to - as inexorably dire but also still distant enough a concept to not cast a shadow over our day-to-day lives. The character’s name is Ernst Toller, he's played by a dyspeptic Ethan Hawke, and he isn't an ecological radical when the film starts. Toward the end of Paul Schrader’s most recent film, First Reformed, the main character straps on an explosive vest with the intention of blowing himself up - along with a church full of other people - driven by an inarticulate but intense desire to strike a blow on behalf of the environment.
