This book seems to be a firm favourite within the American education system as quite a few Americans have told me that they first encountered this one in school. I think the only reason I was aware that this book was considered one of the great American classics was because my father had mentioned on quite a few occasions that he really enjoyed reading this in school. My father was educated in California during the 60s and The Scarlet Letter has proved to be one of his more memorable reads from high school.

I read this knowing nothing of the story just that it had something to do with Puritans and that the Reverend did it. Well I have to admit that my heart sank as I dragged myself through the first 63 pages of the first chapter. The book does not begin with the story of the Scarlet Letter but rather the story of the narrator which threw me slightly.

The unnamed narrator describes his job at a custom house in Salam, his work colleagues and finally he describes a small bundle of papers in which appears a rather ornate scarlet badge of the letter A. The papers contain the story of Hester Prynne and the circumstances as to which she was made to wear the letter on her breast and the narrator decides to write a fictional account of The Scarlet Letter. As I have said, I struggled through this first chapter and the reason is is because of the writing. For some reason I found myself wading through the quite heavy prose regretting that I had ever picked up The Scarlet Letter. However once I have got past this first chapter and onto the actual Scarlet Letter story the narrative suddenly became much easier to read, the chapters shorter and I started to very much enjoy reading it.

The story I found to be an interesting one. Hester (who is a women which again threw me surely that s a mans name?*) was sent to Boston ahead of her husband who remained in Europe on the understanding that he would eventually join his wife.

After a few years go by, Hester becomes pregnant and gives birth to a baby girl named Pearl which sends shockwaves through the Puritan community and is where the story begins. After much deliberation the towns elders decide that as punishment, Hester should be made to wear a Scarlet Letter upon her breast thus drawing attention to her sin . Hester is a strong type who accepts her punishment and refuses to name the child s father even after considerable pressure to do so. Around the same time as Hester is beginning her punishment, her doctor husband shows up to find his wife pregnant and shunned from society. He asks his wife to not reveal his identify and he then proceeds in ingraining himself into society with the sole purpose of finding the child s father and exacting his revenge. As the years go by this man becomes quite an odious character whose sole purpose of living is to cause misery and pain. Making up this trio is Pearl s father the Reverend Dimmesdale who is a weak and at times quite a hypocritical character. He considers Hester to be more free because everyone knows her sin while he is forced to privately carry the burden of his. Yet of course he will never reveal his sin because of his human weakness which is in contrast to Hester, at one point he even blames Hester for his misery. Yet he is also the most complex character in the novel, in one scene Hester goes to the governor s house in order to confront her accusers because there is talk that Pearl might be taken away from her in order to give Pearl to a less sinful guardian. In a gripping scene where Hester is forced to uncharacteristically beg for her child it is the Reverend Dimmesdale who steps up and convinces the other elders that the best place for Pearl is with her mother. The strength of this novel lies very much in the characters and I enjoyed trying to work out their intentions. Even little Pearl who as a child could have been neglected in the book, proves an enigma throughout and is constantly asking probing and insightful questions. The novel itself builds up the tension to a very public conclusion which kept me riveted, and the themes of sin, human nature and identity have had me mulling over the novel in my mind since I read it. Would I recommend this? I am sure that since this is a book that is read in schools it is packed full of symbolism (yes I noticed the Rosebushes) but as an adult reader encountering this book for the first time, without the use of a teacher to guide me, I found this a very rewarding and gripping read. Mother, said little Pearl, the sunshine does not love you. It runs away and hides itself, because it is afraid of something on your bosom. . . . It will not flee from me, for I wear nothing on my bosom yet! Nor ever will, my child, I hope, said Hester. And why not, mother? asked Pearl, stopping short.

. . . Will it not come of its own accord, when I am a woman grown? Verdict 5/5 Posted by Jess * I have since been informed by Zoe from Playing by the Book that Hester is a common girls name in the Netherlands (thanks Zoe!)

Still ace! Steffi Graf athletic figure in her bikini while on holiday in Capri

She may be a mother to two children and long retired from the world of professional tennis, but in her tiny bikini Steffi Graf shows she still cuts an athletic and super fit figure. The 40-year-old revealed her enviable physique while on holiday with her husband, former top player Andre Agassi, and their two children Jaden, six, and Jaz, four, in Italy this weekend. Still ace: Former Wimbledon champ Steffi Graf showed off her still athletic figure in her bikini while on holiday in Capri, Italy Teeny, weeny striped bikini: The 40-year-old mum of two’s rock hard abs and toned legs are impressive Teeny, weeny striped bikini: The 40-year-old mum of two’s rock hard abs and toned legs are impressive In her stripy bikini Steffi, who is considered one of the world’s greatest ever female tennis players, could give women half her age a run for their money with her toned abs, trim legs and lack of the dreaded cellulite. She said recently: ‘Age, what is it? It’s not a figure that has ever meant anything to me,’ before adding: ‘I suppose it’s amazing how quick life goes by when you have children.’ With her figure, you’d be forgiven for assuming the mum-of-two has been spending much of her retirement playing several hours a day, but in fact she’s been doing the opposite.

Champion couple: Steffi and her tennis champ husband Andre Agassi take in the sights of Capri with their daughter Jaz The ultra-competitive business of winning has been replaced by bringing up her two children and devoting herself to her charity Children For Tomorrow, which provides sanctuary and support for violated youngsters in Europe and Africa.

‘I’m very fortunate to have two healthy and beautiful children to whom I can give my time, that is my luxury and what tennis gave me,’ she told the Daily Mail.

‘I earned the time I now have with them but I still have this philosophy of working hard at everything I do, it just so happens it is not tennis.’ Other Sweet Posts

And that might have led to other shows but you know what LA is like. I was in my early 30s and it wasn’t going to get easier. You know, that’s when you start to wonder if you might have to get lots of plastic surgery. Jane Badler As an actor, your life experience is just as important as studying.

Jane Badler He wasn’t really Method but he believed that when you did a role there were lots of things you could do with your co-star in order to create the right environment. You known, if you were supposed to be in love, to create that feeling between the two of you. Jane Badler I did the figure of Diana in V, a cult TV show seen all over the world. Jane Badler I feel lucky. I think acting can help to keep you young. It does make you feel there’s meaning in your life. Jane Badler I have no regrets about my life. Jane Badler I just feel passionately about a few things and particularly about helping artists get off the ground. Jane Badler I think if you’re half-hearted you shouldn’t go into acting. Jane Badler I think it really holds you back having to think about your image. Jane Badler I think some people in their 20s really get it, that acting is about creativity and the work. They get their maturity from their work.

Jane Badler I was on Murder She Wrote with Angela Lansbury. She was fantastic…

she was lovely to everyone, she was always on time, prepared. Jane Badler It is a good thing to happen to you, to have that taste of fame because then you don’t hanker for it. Jane Badler Like at Halloween: I knew I’d arrived when I saw people dressing up on Halloween as my character. Jane Badler Then Mission Impossible brought me to Australia and that was great because I fell in love. Jane Badler

Product Description Product DescriptionGy? ??rgy Ligeti: Of Foreign Lands and Strange Sounds offers a new assessment of a composer whose constant exploration of new sound worlds – based on the musics of different cultures and ages – contributed in crucial ways to making him one of the most important musical voices of the last 50 years. The book combines texts by former students, colleagues and friends, who reflect on different and so far unknown aspects of Ligeti’s persona, with new musicological interpretations of his style and several of his main works. Among the contributors are some of the most eminent Ligeti scholars, including Richard Steinitz and Paul Griffiths. Louise Duchesneau, Ligeti’s assistant of over 20 years, acts not only as contributor but also as co-editor of the volume.

Many of the musicological chapters are based on studies of Ligeti’s sketches, which are now housed by the Paul Sacher Foundation in Basle and were made available for research only recently.

Two close collaborators representing disciplines which deeply interested Ligeti – Heinz-Otto Peitgen and Simha Arom – also reflect on the composer for the very first time in writing.

The combination of new insights into Ligeti by people who knew him with new analytical approaches will make this a core publication not only for Ligeti scholars, but also for readers interested in music of the second half of the twentieth century and in Hungarian culture.

Cele|bitchy Stylish celebrity escapism Rumer Willis at the Nylon Mag party: why can’t this girl find a flattering style? May 10th 2012, 14:14 As you know, sometimes I just like to check in with model/actress/Hollywood spawn Rumer Willis. Just because. Just because I genuinely want to think the best of her, but she rarely gives me any reason to. These are new photos of Rumer at last night’s Nylon Magazine party for “The Annual May Young Hollywood Issue.” Rumer is “Young Hollywood” of course.

And if you come in here and yell at me and say that I shouldn’t be discussing Rumer’s styling and beauty issues just stop it. She’s the one who wants a life in front of the camera. She wants to be a model and an actress.

She could have gone to college.

She could have chosen a life away from the spotlight. She wants attention. She wants us to talk about her.

Here’s what I never understand about Rumer: why does she consistently style herself to de-emphasize her strengths? I’m not trying to cruel about Rumer’s looks she can’t help the way she was born, and although I’m positive that Rumer has had some plastic surgery (nose job, boob job, probably some more stuff too), this her basic raw material, and she should own it and try to make it work for her. So why does she continue to dye her hair that funky red color? Why do I feel like she’s getting old-school perms? Why doesn’t she find a better way to style her frizzy hair in total? And I can’t even believe her clothing choices some days. Rumer gets invited to a “Young Hollywood” party and she wears THIS? A giant button-up shirt (that she leaves unbuttoned?), a blazer with the sleeves rolled up, and slouchy boots? Does Rumer think she’s being fashion-forward? Rumer actually has a nice figure she s tall and slender and she can wear a lot of different styles. Why go with an outfit that makes her look like her father in drag? Photos courtesy of WENN.

My video post is a very special one– an all-time favorite of mine that has great significance. (Not to mention that it inspired the name of my blog). Michelle Kwan skated this exhibition routine to Eva Cassidy’s hauntingly beautiful “Fields of Gold” during the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City. The title is bittersweet, considering Michelle had just finished third at the second Olympics that she had been favored to win.

Sixteen-year-old American Sarah Hughes had stolen the show and won gold in Salt Lake, just as Tara Lipinski, a 15-year-old American had done at the ’98 Nagano games when Michelle finished second.

As commentator Sandra Bezik said, “Success isn’t always measured by a gold medal.” This program is not about medals won or lost, but about Michelle’s passion to skate.

Peggy Flemming has said many times that Michelle takes audiences on her journey of emotions; she transports everyone.

She skates with heart, and that’s why her Olympic results don’t matter.

She’ll always be skating in fields of gold…

In a primetime interview with Jane Pauley following the Olympics, Michelle said that her tears in this program were not tears of sadness, but tears of joy.

She said: “The crowd was so supportive, so loving, and it was amazing. And, in the middle of my performance, I started crying, because I can…there was so many emotions, you know? I love skating because it s such a beautiful sport, so soothing, so comforting. That night I felt like, this is why I love it, this is why I m here.” I had the great honor of seeing “Fields of Gold” live at a performance of Champions on Ice in Philadelphia in the Spring of 2002. I will never forget it!
