![]() ![]() he continuously threatens, objectifies and degrades her, and i honestly would have expected more trauma from a victim of kidnap, but i think that was the issue- Reilly didn’t even portray Serafina as a victim and glossed over the realities of someone being held captive. but honestly it did just feel like Remo raped her and used small acts of kindness to manipulate her. Id assumed things weren’t what they seemed from Dante’s POV. and i wanted to see how things ACTUALLY went down between Serafina and Remo after reading everything from Dante’s POV first. i read Bound by the Past first so i knew the general gist of this book so it piqued my interest before id even started this series. The whole book made me sooooo uncomfortable. all the Falcone men are trash- but not you Nino baby, ily. ![]() but this book is one of my thirteen reasons why. Now, a disclaimer: im not in anyway shitting on people who enjoyed this book. ![]()

Forced to keep all men in prison or abolish slavery, the State would quickly exhaust its resources and choose the latter course of action. Thoreau calls on his fellow citizens to withdraw their support from the government of Massachusetts and risk being thrown in prison for their resistance. Still, complete payment of his taxes would be tantamount to expressing complete allegiance to the State. Thoreau acknowledges that it is realistically impossible to deprive the government of tax dollars for the specific policies that one wishes to oppose. American essayist, poet, and practical philosopher Henry David Thoreau is renowned for having lived the doctrines of Transcendentalism as recorded in his masterwork, Walden (1854). ![]() At the very least, if an unjust government is not to be directly resisted, a man of true conviction should cease to lend it his indirect support in the form of taxes. Thoreau believes that the real obstacle to reform lies with those who disapprove of the measures of government while tacitly lending it their practical allegiance. The position of the majority, however legitimate in the context of a democracy, is not tantamount to a moral position. It criticizes American social institutions and policies, most prominently slavery and the Mexican-American War. Thoreau turns to the issue of effecting change through democratic means. Henry David Thoreau's Civil Disobedience espouses the need to prioritize one's conscience over the dictates of laws. ![]() ![]() ![]() For the presentation of his doctoral work at Oxford, he was awarded the Hetherington Prize in 1995.

Miller had a play in mind, too his impulse for the cabin was “to sit in the middle of it, and shut the door, and let things happen.” All Miller knew about his new play was that it would be centered on a travelling salesman who would die at the end and that two of the lines were “Willy?” “It’s all right. ![]() ![]() “I had never built a building in my life.” “It was a purely instinctive act,” Miller, who long ago traded up from that first forty-four-acre property to a four-hundred-acre spread on Painter Hill, a few miles down the road, told me recently. On a crisp April weekend in 1948, Arthur Miller, then only thirty-three and enjoying the first flush of fame after the Broadway success the previous year of “All My Sons,” waved goodbye to his first wife, Mary, and their two young kids, in Brooklyn, and set off for Roxbury, Connecticut, where he intended to build a cabin on a hillock just behind a Colonial house he had recently purchased for the family, which stood at the aptly named crossroads of Tophet (another name for Hell) and Gold Mine. ![]() |
