Happy feel of life

Apartment 3-G online: From March 24 to March 30：Margo is going to have a step-mother. I don’t know what’s the relationship between professor Aristotle and Bobbie? What’s the date professor made with Bobbie? And why does he always feel distracted on talking about Bobbie? I need to see more in the future.

Apartment 3-G has been 49 years old since its debut on May 8, 1961. It talked about career women, which is the main factor that draws my attention on this comic strip. I have no way to know what happened in the past 49 years but have access to concern the story from now on.

3-G means 3 girls, actually 3 women who share an apartment in Manhattan. These three characters are Margo Magee, Abigail Tommie Thompson, and Lu Ann Powers. You could identify them with their humanity, their strength and the truth of their portrayals. They come together to meet head-on the challenges they face everyday, and to become more than friends and closer than sisters.

The creators of Apartment 3-G have been changed for many times. In the initial period, it was written by Nicholas P. Dallis and drawn by Alex Kotzky. Alex Kotzky was the artist of Apartment 3-G for more than 30 years. When Dallis died in 1991, Kotzky began writing the strip. With Kotzky’s death in 1996, his son, Brian Kotzky, took over as the Apartment 3-G artist, and Lisa Trusiani became the scripter. In 2000, Frank Bolle stepped in as the illustrator when Brian Kotzky left to become a teacher. Writer Margaret Shulock later succeeded Trusiani. Although Apartment 3-G is a little old, but it always keeps up with the times.

When you are old and gray and full of sleep,
And nodding by the fire, take down this book,
And slowly read, and dream of the soft look
Your eyes had once, and of their shadows deep;

How many loved your moments of glad grace,
And loved your beauty with love false or true,
But one man loved the pilgrim soul in you,
And loved the sorrows of your changing face;

And bending down beside the glowing bars,
Murmur, a little sadly, how Love fled
And paced upon the mountains overhead
And hid his face among a crowd of stars.

Yeats was abandoned into the hopeless love to Maud Gonne in his whole life, which inspired Yeats to write down many poems specially for Maud Gonne. Sometimes it was about beautiful love, and sometimes it was about desperate hate, but most it struggled between love and hate.

“I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived.” ——From “Walden” by Henry David Thoreau.

Henry David Thoreau(1817 – 1862) American essayist, poet, and practical philosopher, best-known for his autobiographical story of life in the woods, WALDEN. Thoreau became one of the leading personalities in New England Transcendentalism. He wrote tirelessly but earned from his books and journalism little. Thoreau’s “Civil Disobedience” influenced Gandhi in his passive resistance campaigns, Martin Luther King, Jr., and at one time the politics of the British Labor Party.

At the first beginning, Mark Twain prepared to write a sequel to “The Adventure of Tom Sawyer” that would follow Huck Finn through adulthood. But in the progress of working on the manuscript titled “Huckleberry Finn’s Autobiography” for several years, Twain seemed to have lost interest in the manuscript. Then making a trip down the Mississippi, Twain returned to his work on the novel titled closely paralleled its predecssor: Adventure of Huckleberry Finn.

Huck once appeared in “The Adventure of Tom Sawyer”. Huck is a clever, brave and also kind-hearted white youth, although at first for racialism he discriminated Jim who is a negro slave. And the change of Huck’s attitude to Jim rightly suggests that racialism is a complete fallacy that even can’t cheat a child. In order to pursue kind of free life, he fled to the Mississippi river where he met Jim who hopes to get rid of the fate of being sold. They floated opon the Mississippi together and become good friends lastly. For helping Jim get his freedom, Huck suffers a lot and experiences variety of adventures.

As the Valentine’s day driving closer, love is the main subject here, I think we should widen the meaning of it, it’s not just for lovers, the love here is means much more. Therefore, I have got you a really good book here, original in French it is called “Monsieur Ibrahim et les fleurs du Coran”, in English “Monsieur Ibrahim and the Flowers of the Koran” written by Eric Emmanuel Schmitt, it’s a story of love!

Monsieur Ibrahim and the Flowers of the Koran is a dramatic monologue, but it reads readily like a dialogue-heavy novella. The story is told by Moïse, a Jewish boy growing up in Paris in the 1960s. He lives with his father, a fairly unsuccessful attorney; his mother abandoned them when Moïse was a baby. The person who becomes the real parent in his life, the one looking out for him and teaching him the lessons of life, is the neighbourhood grocer, Monsieur Ibrahim.

The story begins when Moïse is eleven. The first thing he recounts is how he breaks his piggy-bank in order to pay for the services of a prostitute. It’s part of the process of becoming a man (if wildly premature), but the more important step comes at about the same time, as he gets to know Monsieur Ibrahim better. The tale is an unlikely and, in large part, too simplistic one, but it’s an appealing story, and Schmitt presents many of the small scenes and encounters very well.Treacly, but with a surprising amount of charm.

Basically, this is that kind of book that can make your eyes full of tears, and actually warm your heart deeply. Hope you can really enjoying this with your friends and your family! Love, it can change everything; Smile, happiness is a footstep away!

Remember the book I recommended before? “Lost Horizon”. Today I am going to introduce a book that can help you understand more of that book and might make your reading easier and more enjoyable. So here’s the book–”Lost Horizon compamion”.

This is a complete guide to the James Hilton Novel and Its Characters, Critical Reception, Film Adaptations and Place in Popular Culture. This comprehensive reference guide introduces James Hilton’s novel Lost Horizon for contemporary students and general readers. The opening section provides a summary of Hilton’s life and describes his circumstances at the time of writing the novel. This is followed with a chapter-by-chapter summary of the plot, a glossary of words and phrases which may be helpful to twenty-first century readers, and an alphabetically arranged guide to the novel’s characters. In addition, the author examines the initial critical reception of the book, its publishing history, and the success of its major film adaptations in separate chapters. Several appendices provide recommended questions for discussion and Hilton’s original preface to Lost Horizon.

And the author is John R. Hammond, who is a research fellow at Nottingham Trent University in England. He is the secretary of the James Hilton Society and the president of the H.G. Wells Society. So apparently he do know a lot about James Hilton, his life and his book, which might be important for someone who wants to undertand the book–”Lost Horizon” throughly. However for these who just use it has a healing book or just want to get to know the fabulous land of Shangri-La, I see no need for this book. So read it or not, depends on you now!
