The airstep he performed was a “back to back roll” and was danced while Chick Webb played “Down South Camp Meeting,” which was Manning’s request after having heard the song earlier in the evening. During a dance contest in 1935, Manning and his partner, Frieda Washington, performed the first aerial in a swing dance competition against George “Shorty” Snowden and his partner, Big Bea, at the Savoy Ballroom. He frequented Harlem’s Savoy Ballroom in the 1930s, eventually becoming a dancer in the elite and prestigious “Kat’s Corner,” a corner of the dance floor where impromptu exhibitions and competitions took place. When he was older, he started going to the Savoy, which was for better dancers. Frankie began dancing as a child, then started attending the early evening dances for older teens at the Renaissance Ballroom. He moved to Harlem at the age of three, with his mother, who was a dancer. Manning was born in Jacksonville, Florida, in 1914. Manning is considered one of the founding fathers of the Lindy Hop. Frankie Manning (– April 27, 2009) was an American dancer, instructor and choreographer. In suggesting that the novel resembles rather than challenges representations found in texts contemporaneous to Gregory’s own, the paper will contextualise Gregory’s characterisation using two biographical accounts published shortly before the release of The White Queen: Arlene Okerlund’s Elizabeth Wydeville: The Slandered Queen, and David Loades’ ‘The Queen As Lover: Elizabeth Woodville’ in The Tudor Queens Of England. Utilising a postmodern perspective, this paper will analyse the characterisation of Elizabeth Woodville in Philippa Gregory’s novel The White Queen and argue that the novel does not diverge significantly from contemporaneous accounts of Woodville’s life. The reimagining of Elizabeth’s affect drives her narrative and is integral to reconsidering this past, yet these emotions do not differ from those characterisations that Gregory has criticised lust and love are key motivators for Elizabeth who is vengeful and proud, and she is defined in terms of her familial relationships. Philippa Gregory has critiqued gendered representations of Elizabeth Woodville and has stated that her 2009 novel The White Queen fictionalises Woodville’s history with the aim of challenging such depictions. His gaze roamed along my probably red and puffed face, pausing at the edge of my eyelids. Heavy tears spilled from my eyes and rolled onto my cheeks, forming a wet stream as I tried to breathe through the fierce sobs that emerged from the depths of my body. I winced from the sickening fear he evoked within me and I lost all of my control. Please don't read this if you are under the age of 18, or find such things disturbing!

This trilogy was clearly planned ahead and each book is amazing in it’s own way. Sometimes it feels like a series isn’t planned, but rather is created because a book became a bestseller. The great thing about this series by Fleur Beale is the character development throughout all three books. It updates us on everyone’s lives as well as concludes the series. Being Magdalene is the third book and it takes place four years after the second. The second book, I Am Rebecca takes place several years later and focuses on another character while diving deeper into the religious dos and don’ts. The first book, I Am Not Esther, introduces us to this world and the characters. The series is about a family growing up in a religious cult. However, I remember it well and read the two sequels, one of which I already reviewed. I Am Not Esther by Fleur Beale was a great book that I read before I started writing reviews. These pioneers knew that the aftermath of surgery was often more dangerous than patients’ afflictions, and they were baffled by the persistent infections that kept mortality rates stubbornly high. She conjures up early operating theaters-no place for the squeamish-and surgeons, who, working before anesthesia, were lauded for their speed and brute strength. In The Butchering Art, the historian Lindsey Fitzharris reveals the shocking world of nineteenth-century surgery and shows how it was transformed by advances made in germ theory and antiseptics between 18.

Thrust into the middle of a new war, Jack and Fleur are faced with the aftermath of their choices. When an old enemy seeks revenge, the world’s most powerful magic runs wild and unchecked, creating global chaos. But not everyone is happy with the change in leadership. With Professor Lyon as the new Chronos, Seasons are free to do as they please. The world they thought they left behind is still dealing with the fallout of the rebellion they started. Or the fear that his choice to give up his magic may have doomed them after all. Although he’d do anything for Fleur, he can’t deny the emptiness he’s felt since. Jack sacrificed his Winter magic-and his immortality-to ensure their survival. Yet there wasn’t magic strong enough to keep them apart, and they risked everything for their love, for the freedom to live their lives as they choose-together. Perfect for fans of Holly Black and Victoria Schwab, this enthralling duology follows Jack and Fleur, star-crossed lovers trapped in an endless cycle of death.Īs immortal Seasons, Jack and Fleur wielded powerful magic in their roles as a Winter and a Spring. As the boys sing it, they get the same effect, they even circle a boy who acts to be the pig and act out the killing. Whenever Jack goes hunting, he chants his song which makes him exhilarated and savage. Jack triggers the boy’s savagery by making them perform ritualistic practices. William Golding depicts the boy’s social development on the island as innocent children in a new environment to selfish and savage because of Jack’s savage influence, which we can relate to Rousseau’s social contract theory. Jean-Jacques Rousseau states in his social contract theory that man started off as innocent people and as civilization developed, they became selfish. He manipulates the boys into agreeing with him, triggers their savagery, and torments them with threats to their life. In the novel, the boy’s main source of their development is Jack. As we evolved, we became selfish and savage, because we wanted to be like others and since they were selfish, we were too. Rousseau contradicts Golding’s thoughts and thinks that humans when they were first in Nature, were civil and innocent. William Golding makes it seem that humans, if not controlled or looked after, can go to a darker side of themselves. In Lord of the Flies, William Golding characterises the boy from innocent children who have just been deserted on an island to murderous savages who have gone to a darker side. It must have been, however, an expression of applause, since in Africa rain is always longed for and welcomed.” How much of the character of the Kenyans, and also of herself, she captures in that passage! Speak like rain.’ Why they should feel verse to be like rain I do not know. How can you not love an author who writes: The Natives “were quick to understand that meaning in poetry is of no consequence, and they did not question the thesis of the verse, but waited eagerly for the rhyme, and laughed at it when it came … As they had become used to the idea of poetry, they begged: ‘Speak again. Soon I fell in love with Blixen’s lyrical prose.
