![]() "Tara’s inquisitiveness, openness, and determination to chart her own path stand out in this warm story of family, faith and the ways people are unique yet intertwined." "The latest spunky heroine of South Asian–Jewish heritage to grace middle-grade fiction, Tara Feinstein, 12, charms readers from the get-go in this strong, funny debut." "In my opinion, My Basmati Bat Mitzvah shows that everyone is different in their own way and some get the advantage of being culturally diverse. With the cross-cultural charm of Bend It Like Beckham, this delightful debut novel is a classic coming-of-age story and young romance with universal appeal. Amid all this drama, Tara considers how to balance her Indian and Jewish identities and what it means to have a bat mitzvah while questioning her faith. ![]() Not to mention working on her robotics project with the class clown Ryan Berger, or figuring out what to do with a priceless heirloom sari that she accidentally ruined. ![]() Between Hebrew school and study sessions with the rabbi, there doesn’t seem to be enough time to hang out with her best friend Ben-O-who might also be her boyfriend-and her other best friend, Rebecca, who’s getting a little too cozy with the snotty Sheila Rosenberg. During the fall leading up to her bat mitzvah, Tara (Hindi for “star”) Feinstein has a lot more than her Torah portion on her mind. ![]()

My interest arises from my own mild parasomnia, or sleep disorder, one that runs in my family. Randall for writing what must be the most diverting and consistently fascinating book on the topic ever, "Dreamland: Adventures in the Strange Science of Sleep." I feel I can speak with some authority on the subject because I've read quite a few sleep books in my time. Only people who can't sleep spend much time thinking about it, and if there's anything more tedious than witnessing another person's nap, it's listening to a keyed-up, obsessive insomniac go on and on about how they can't. Nothing could be duller than watching someone else do it. The better you invoke it, the more likely you are to incite it, and because it can't be remembered, sleep can't be described. ![]() All writing about sleep has this problem of the fundamental human appetites, it's the least exciting. Many susceptible readers nod off the first few times they attempt it. That's not because of its style, which is sublime, but because it describes the experience of falling asleep. The opening scene of Marcel Proust's "Swann's Way" is one of the most famously difficult to get through in literature. ![]() ![]() ![]() His photographs of the Royal Family defined their public persona and were among the most widely published photographs of the 20th century.

![]() ![]() ![]() Kathy O’Brien is Steve’s defense attorney, and she does believe that Steve is guilty and tries to prepare him for the worst. It was pointed out that the character is surrounded by bad people, with bad guns, and bad intentions. During the whole story, it is not mentioned whether the main character is good or bad. The writer does not tell you what to think, but let you make decisions and conclusions independently. ![]() Monster is interesting to read because it provides the reader with a chance to create his/her own impression about the main character. Why did Walter Dean Myers write monster in the format of a screenplay? It may be assumed that, by doing so, he wanted to show the feelings of the characters and the development of the conflict at the same time. ![]() However, such a manner of writing influences Meyers’ development of the theme only in a positive way. Monster writing style attracts the attention of the reader due to the contrasting mix of such strategies as controlled development of thoughts and stream of consciousness, which create unique tone and mood in the story. The style chosen by the author of this story takes several pages to get used to. Such a decision to present the story from one person’s point of view, divide characters into good and bad ones, appeal to the facts from one diary only, and use not a standard form of narration is unique indeed. Steve Harmon is the writer, director, and main character of Monster. ![]() |
