Thus, my fascination with werewolves began. An American Werewolf In London, The Howling, and Wolfen. ![]() In the early 1980s, three horror films came out that made an impact on me. In the third grade, I began writing more often and found it was to my liking and that my peers seemed to like it. At age six I wrote a book for The Car it was about 4 pages. But The Car oddly enough is what started me writing. Then came a little film called Star Wars. Then, I saw The Car staring James Brolin when I was age five. I saw Texas Chainsaw Massacre at the drive in I was age three. In third grade, I was reading Jaws while the other kids were reading kid books. I begged her to read it to me all the time, until she told me that I needed to learn to read so I could read the book myself. ![]() And I found out my mother had a Readers Digest Condensed Book of Jaws by Peter Benchley.

People commenting here seem to think I'm a proponent of free market capitalism (I do consider myself a capitalist, but not of the lassiez faire s track record is poor as far as I'm concerned). I think free market capitalism does the exact same thing, though the end results are different. And I don't think it works from a philosophical point of view, mainly because I think it neglects the realities of human nature. ![]() What Marx predicts is an oppressive totalitarian regime which would be able to commit all kinds of human rights abuses far too easily. But I still largely stand by my original take on it. I understand a bit more about where he was coming from historically, and it doesn't seem as inherently ridiculous as I might have claimed five years ago. He put his entire life into this slender and influential book, and I respect that. ![]() I am not apologizing for my view of the book or Marx. I never seriously expected anyone to read this review, much less love or hate it so strongly. Long overdue update (2013): I read this book five years ago and in almost every respect, I have mellowed considerably. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Eleanor and Marie initially seem to be opposites, and the scene where Eleanor tells Marie she is to be sent to an abbey seems cruel and mocking, especially as the reader knows that Marie is in love with Eleanor. In time, Marie herself becomes a powerful figure in England, in spite of or because of her plain appearance.īased on the life of Marie de France, Matrix examines both the power that medieval women held and the limitations. One of Marie’s greatest strengths is the ability to see the potential and the danger in the women around her. Instead of assigning each nun to tasks she is poorly suited to, with a goal of fostering a Christ-like humility, she reverses the abbey’s practices and assigns the women jobs according to their strength. ![]() She brings a secular view to abbey administration and an independent noblewoman’s head for business. Initially acting as prioress, Marie slowly gains more control over the running of the abbey. The abbess is kind but ineffective as a leader. Declared too tall and too plain for marriage, she is banished from Eleanor of Aquitane’s court and sent to a failing abbey, where the nuns are dying of starvation. Seventeen-year-old Marie does not meet medieval expectations of femininity. ![]() ![]() Josh was smart and handsome and arguably the most likely student at Hazelwood High to succeed in a big way.
