![]() ![]() But hopefully, in reading this, they can feel empowered to stay true to themselves and to proudly wear their cultural garments, and to not shy away or be embarrassed by them. Kids are like sponges they often want to wear what their friends or favorite stars are wearing. ![]() I think youth are the ones who need to hear this message the most. Why did you decide to write it for a YA audience? I wanted to create a book that empowers youth to recognize their own cultures and experiences are beautiful, and how something like style can be the perfect medium to embrace that and to share that with others. As a youth, that was a confusing experience it made me feel invalid or inferior, that my cultural garments were not as beautiful as, say, those by high-fashion labels. Growing up, I rarely saw my Indigenous culture being covered in the fashion industry. What motivated you to write The Power of Style? Written for a YA audience, it is a beautiful read for all ages.Īllaire is a Fashion and Style Writer for Vogue. His book includes chapters on high heels, ribbonwork, cosplay and hijabs, and connects fashion with history, culture, politics and social justice. In his first book, The Power of Style: How Fashion and Beauty Are Being Used to Reclaim Cultures (external link) he explores how style is more than the clothing we wear: it represents self-expression, representation, and transformation. ![]() When he was a fashion-obsessed Ojibwe teen, Christian Allaire (RSJ ‘14) rarely found people who looked like him in movies or fashion magazines. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Her parents first met on a train departing from King's Cross Station bound for Arbroath in 1964. Her mother Anne was half-French and half-Scottish. Rowling was born to Peter James Rowling, a Rolls-Royce aircraft engineer, and Anne Rowling (née Volant), on 31 July 1965 in Yate, Gloucestershire, England, 10 miles (16 km) northeast of Bristol. In a 2012 interview, Rowling noted that she no longer cared that people pronounced her name incorrectly. During the Leveson Inquiry she gave evidence under the name of Joanne Kathleen Rowling. ![]() She calls herself Jo and has said, "No one ever called me 'Joanne' when I was young, unless they were angry." Following her marriage, she has sometimes used the name Joanne Murray when conducting personal business. As she had no middle name, she chose K as the second initial of her pen name, from her paternal grandmother Kathleen Ada Bulgen Rowling. Anticipating that the target audience of young boys might not want to read a book written by a woman, her publishers demanded that she use two initials, rather than her full name. Rowling, pronounced like rolling, her name when her first Harry Potter book was published was simply Joanne Rowling.

One of the most influential philosophical texts ever written, it is widely read to this day. He wrote the meditations as if he had meditated for six days: each meditation refers to the last one as "yesterday". The book is made up of six meditations, in which Descartes first discards all belief in things that are not absolutely certain, and then tries to establish what can be known for sure. The title may contain a misreading by the printer, mistaking animae immortalitas for animae immaterialitas, as suspected by A. The French translation (by the Duke of Luynes with Descartes' supervision) was published in 1647 as Méditations Métaphysiques. ![]() Meditations on First Philosophy, in which the existence of God and the immortality of the soul are demonstrated ( Latin: Meditationes de Prima Philosophia, in qua Dei existentia et animæ immortalitas demonstratur) is a philosophical treatise by René Descartes first published in Latin in 1641. ![]() ![]() ![]() Though Ayatsuji’s prose is pretty flat, but I don’t see this as a negative. It’s pretty gleefully enjoyable, to be frank. ![]() From then on, the story’s an investigation of both motive and method, and the demoralising effect of knowing that eventually, they’ll all die. It’s close to a place where a murder-suicide event happened, and before long there’s proof that a killer’s on their trail. The story is simple: seven university students – members of a mystery society, each bearing the name of a famous mystery writer – journey to stay in a ten-sided house on an island. It’s a format which, though popular through the works of Edogawa Rampo, fell out of style until the writing of this book, which relaunched an interest in the orthodox mystery, or honkaku. It’s very much in the classic, locked-room mould: the book was written initially as an offshoot of a university mystery club, where enthusiasts of that style of fiction would write tales in that mode, explaining their logic. At heart, the book pays tribute to Agatha Christie’s And Then There Were None: it aims to eliminate all its characters by the end, either by murder or by guilt. ![]() Add a sprinkling of weird fiction ghostliness and gothic murder.
