Game Changer

Of The Schwa Was Here, School Library Journal wrote: “Shusterman's characters–reminiscent of those crafted by E. L. Konigsburg and Jerry Spinelli–are infused with the kind of controlled, precocious improbability that magically vivifies the finest children's classics. Even viewing this as a work of fiction as I do, it's still not particularly good or interesting. Franklin likes to portray himself as this innocent wide-eyed, oblivious man child who is mystified by the world, relationships, and most of all the motivations of the women around him. Amber is written like a stereotypical muse character, meant to be placed on a pedestal. Much of the writing is also very repetitive (He writes "I scratched my head" so many times I wondered if he would be bald by the end) and just rather dull. Heilemann and Halperin wrote in Game Change that Clinton had considered entering the 2004 presidential race, and that polls indicated her odds were encouraging. She was encouraged to run by her husband, former-President Bill Clinton, but their daughter Chelsea Clinton advised her against it. Clinton was also against running because when she was running for senator, she made the voters the promise that she would complete her full senate term. Also in 2006, according to Game Change, advisers to Clinton worked on a strategy to deal with any public disclosure over an affair which some of Hillary Clinton's advisers had believed Bill Clinton was then carrying on. The book did not provide any further details, except that the affair was "a sustained romantic relationship". [6] All of that said, this is still an important part of poly history and culture. Polyamory is not always easy or simple or beautiful or free of jealousy or bitterness for everyone. For a lot of people it will take them years to express their polyamory in healthy and fulfilling ways. This memoir is a wonderful reminder for me that these tragic and painful experiences do exist in the larger poly community. And if someone can read about it and have it be a game changer in their life then it's done it's job.

The author does a poorly job of self reflection, and I don’t remember him taking any responsibility, for any of his former experiences. because the book is not well drafted, very short chapters, high level overview and not going into and particular detail. Afridi was a match winner when he used to destroy the opposition teams with either batting or bowling on his day. But these performances were as rare as goldust. Some days it was like - Zeleny, Jeff (January 9, 2010). "Reid Apologizes for Racial Remarks About Obama". The New York Times . Retrieved January 9, 2010. Mit Logik kommt man hier wohl nicht so recht weiter, denn ich hab bis zum Schluss nicht verstanden, warum das ganze passiert und wie Ash hier tatsächlich Einfluss nimmt - und wo es überhaupt hätte hinführen sollen.

But the thing is – though we were told he was ignorant, we never actually got to see it properly. I wish Shusterman showed us at least one example of what exactly Ash was ignorant about and how he should have done it differently in his original world, apart from being more aware. There was not one specific thing that he could have done better in his original universe, that he got to learn about while traveling through all these other AUs. I didn’t think that part was covered well at all. Auf diesen ersten Sprung in eine alternative Realität folgen noch weitere bis Ash heraus findet, dass ER derjenige ist, der diese Verschiebungen verursacht. Teils auf die harte Tour, denn anders farbige Verkehrsschilder sind Nichts im Vergleich zu den Veränderungen in Punkto Rassismus, Homophobie und Sexismus die nicht zuletzt Ash ganz persönlich zusetzen… Es gibt Entscheidungen, die wir treffen, Entscheidungen, die für uns getroffen werden, und Dinge, die wir so lange ignorieren, bis es ohnehin keine Wahl mehr gibt.“ (S. 12)

Trotz Kritik ist "Game Changer" aber auch kein schlechtes Buch. Ich kann nicht sagen, dass es mich restlos mitgerissen hat, in Erinnerung wird mir die Geschichte aber bestimmt noch eine Weile bleiben. Deswegen bekommt das Buch auch 3,5 Sterne von mir. I was partly right. There was a relationship that changed them all for him, but there were also many others that shaped him, too. Those relationships are also what the book is about. In fact, that's one of the weaknesses in his storytelling, I find. He busies himself with telling a dozen stories of love and relationships chronologically rather than focusing on one main story. The narrative is weak as well. Each chapter feels like he's saying "... and then this new thing happened! Can you believe it?" He is always surprised that a relationship of his is evolving or ending, or that a new secondary relationship could potentially fundamentally change his primary one. He open heartedly admits the mistakes that he has done over the years and gives some hint about his future plans too. All it takes is one hit on the football field, and suddenly Ash’s life doesn’t look quite the way he remembers it. I honestly don’t know how I feel about this book. There was a huge gap between what the author wanted to say and what the book actually ended up achieving.

A Young lad, Shahid Afridi gets the world's attention by slamming the world's fastest 100. Entering the team as a bowler, however carrying the tag of a fast scoring batsman and firing the imagination of the country, Afridi shares accounts of his life, his career, the highs and lows as well as his take on Pakistan,it's politics as well as a brief commentary on India. Was wäre, wenn Du der Mittelpunkt des Universums wärst und unendliche viele Möglichkeiten hättest, unsere Realität anzupassen nur durch eine kleine Änderung? Was würdest Du zuerst ändern? Und würdest Du es richtig machen? Mal vorausgesetzt, Du wüsstest, dass Du ändern kannst und wie. Impossible though it seems, he’s been hit into another dimension—and keeps on bouncing through worlds that are almost-but-not-really his own.

Filter and function performance in Adobe Photoshop is up to 3x faster than the fastest Intel-based MacBook Pro, 5 and up to 40 percent faster than the 16‑inch MacBook Pro with M1 Pro. 4 You might think your own personal apple has fallen far from the tree, but that tree has roots you don’t see until you trip over them.” Told through mixed-media (texts, dialog, newpaper articles, etc), Game Changer is ultimately about the dangers of toxic masculinity.

I love sci-fi. And I love books that discuss important, meaningful topics. But this was a weird mix of the two that didn’t work for me. It kind of fell flat on both accounts. Today, Apple is carbon neutral for global corporate operations, and by 2030, plans to be carbon neutral across the entire manufacturing supply chain and all product life cycles. This means that every Apple device sold, from component manufacturing, assembly, transport, customer use, all the way to recycling and material recovery, will be carbon neutral.

The book ends with Obama being elected President of the United States and reporting on how he offered Clinton the job of United States Secretary of State in his administration. After initially turning Obama down in part out of fear that Bill Clinton would become a distraction for them both, she accepts the job after a late night phone conversation with Obama, who convinces her that she would be the best person for the position. This book did not work for me, so much so that I actually found it offensive. The main character - Ashley, who usually goes by Ash - is a white, cis, male identifying high schooler who is best known for his prowess on the football field. THIS is whose story I need more of now? Yeesh. Readers learn - not long into the novel - that this character has "now become the center of the universe," which feels disappointing and on brand for this archetype, not revolutionary at all.
