Fifteen book by beverly cleary5/21/2023 In short, Cleary brings us all the small challenges and triumphs that made even a 1950s adolescence such a roller coaster. It takes Jane three tries to get her arm into her coat. When Stan picks her up, he steps on a cat toy, which embarrasses him. Jane, an inexperienced dater, is thrilled by Stan’s attention, and she likes him a lot, but there are problems: a “smooth” girl from his past a sophisticated, cashmere-clad nemesis who makes Jane feel frumpy and Miss Muffet-ish a trip to Chinatown that makes Jane feel gauche. What follows is the gradual and realistic evolution of their relationship. While babysitting an indulged and neglected brat, Jane meets the dog-food delivery boy, a new kid in town named Stan Crandall. Jane Purdy is a teenage girl living in the suburbs of San Francisco. And like the rest of her oeuvre, it holds up, even decades down the line. Like all of Cleary’s work, it combines gentle observational humor with a genuine understanding of young people. And while there’s no shortage of well-deserved and lovely tributes out there, I wanted to take a moment to talk about one of my favorite of her books: Fifteen, a YA novel published in 1956. From the cover of a seventies edition of Fifteen.īeverly Cleary has turned one hundred.

Thomas paine and common sense5/21/2023 Paine lived in France for most of the 1790s, becoming deeply involved in the French Revolution. The American Crisis was a pro-independence pamphlet series. Virtually every American Patriot read his 47-page pamphlet Common Sense, which catalyzed the call for independence from Great Britain. Paine was born in Thetford, Norfolk and emigrated to the British American colonies in 1774 with the help of Benjamin Franklin, arriving just in time to participate in the American Revolution. His ideas reflected Enlightenment-era ideals of human rights. He authored Common Sense (1776) and The American Crisis (1776–1783), two of the most influential pamphlets at the start of the American Revolution, and he helped to inspire the Patriots in 1776 to declare independence from Great Britain. Thomas Paine (born Thomas Pain Febru – June 8, 1809) was an English-born American Founding Father, political activist, philosopher, political theorist, and revolutionary.
