![]() ![]() I think many of us can sympathize with Batty’s enjoyment of good books but dislike of analyzing them. I fear explaining too many examples of why I LOVE this story, due to spoiling it for others. ![]() This latest and fourth talehas a lot of musicin it, so that is partly what makes it my second favorite after the first one. Jeanne Birdsall is a master at transforming the ordinary into something extraordinary. Bringing to life such a quality family takes time. I laugh out loud with them, and my heart breaks with them. This family only exists on written pages, and I want to stay with them always. ![]() Jeanne Birdsall can take as long as she wants to finish writing the fifth and therefore final book of the series. There are no books that I want to savor as much as these. Life just doesn’t get any better than the Penderwicks. My first attempt to attach a Goodreads book review of mine to my blog… ![]()

He had no plans on changing anything, or doing the right thing in those instances. Dick had no redeeming qualities, in my eyes.

Athens, while being in general much more "enlightened" than may places, just wasn't ready for these "liberal" ideas.Įuripides was known to be kind of a loner. He was anti-war, sympathetic to slaves and women, and so critical of traditional religion that many believed him to be an atheist. This was due in part to his progressive ideas. Like his buddy Socrates, Euripides's ideas were hard for mainstream Athens to swallow. The comic playwright made fun of Euripides's use of language and his characters' tendency to spout the new fangled philosophies of Socrates. ![]() Poor Euripides was always getting picked on. Some scholars say that this grisly story of his death is fictional. It would be a pretty ironic ending for the playwright, considering all the dismembering and body ripping that goes on in The Bacchae, one of the last plays he wrote before he died. To add insult to injury, Euripides died by being ripped apart by a pack of wild Macedonian dogs, or at least that's what some people say. His son ended up directing the play for his deceased father. Unfortunately, Euripides didn't get to enjoy this final triumph. His final win was for his undisputed classic, The Bacchae. He is said to be the author of around 92 plays, but he only won the big theatrical competition at the festival Dionysus five times.
