‘The Lost Generation’ is a sad poem about society that ends with “all this will come true unless we choose to reverse it.” If you read it backwards, each line has an opposite meaning, and it becomes happy. Source
I need book recommendations
This is for my English class. Here is the criteria:
“For those of you wondering what I mean when I say “book,” your selection must be nonfiction, at least 200 pages long, and published within in the last five years. To give you a better sense of the kind of nonfiction I’m referring to, here’s a list of genres that WILL NOT work for this project: autobiography, biography, memoir, self-help, how-to, history, religion and spirituality, or textbook. The book you select must address a current issue and the author(s) must take a clear position on the issue, which is defended over the course of the book. Below are some appropriate books that previous 202 students have selected for their final project:
-Asking for It: The Alarming Rise of Rape Culture—and What We Can Do About It (2015)
-Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World that Can’t Stop Talking (2013)
-Weighing In: Obesity, Food Justice, and the Limits of Capitalism (2011)
-The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration in the Age of Colorblindness (2010)
-Great American Hypocrites: Toppling the Big Myths of Republican Politics (2008)”
Listen to me, your body is not a temple. Temples can be destroyed and desecrated.
Your body is a forest — thick canopies of maple trees and sweet scented wildflowers sprouting in the underwood.
You will grow back, over and over, no matter how badly you are devastated.
