it came across as shallow and dismissive when the two in the middle couldn't understand how someone could feel burdened by telling someone else something that may inconvenience them. you touched on the insecurities but it's disappointing some of the others couldn't get past that because they couldnt understand why he couldn't be happy for himself

I was enjoying this book, but then I came across a Time's piece about how the writer ignored the violence and abuse that her daughter had suffered. I completely lost the desire to go further with the reading. Specially because women 's lives are a main subject of the setories, how one could have such behavior in relacion to one's own daughter? I felt disgusted. Talent can not over step ethical behavior.

Thanks everyone! And yes, the part with Collin was based on something that happened to one of my sons' friends. Glad you enjoyed it. Was the ending sad? :)

First off, we are so honored that you watched and commented on our video. You have done such an amazing job writing these graphic novels about Jordan Banks and his friends and I will read whatever I get my hands on. I finished Class Act last month and we are planning to discuss it in a future video. It is sad that something happened to a friend of your son that caused them to be removed from what was probably a good school community. I know I can say that Collin seemed like a decent student caught up in a bad situation. I would not say the ending was sad, but it was satisfying. I like how the year wrapped up and Andrew got what he deserved, including class from Jordan's behalf. Thank you so much for your comment! -Josh

"No comments yet", it reads. Well, I was eating cookies, so that's my excuse. Borges is good reading, and Philip Noiret as Neruda in that film was way out in left field with a high pop -up and a strike with the bases loaded in the 9th inning with Yogi Berra gone. Neruda and Borges seem to go together for some strange unknown reasons. Anyway, it beats tRump and Genocide Joe Biden and Israel hands down!
@LiteraryGladiators 21 күн бұрын
This is the wildest looking comment I have ever seen! Borges and Neruda are both South American writers, so they have that common thread with one another. I will have to look into the film where Philip Noiret played Pablo Neruda. I wonder how accurate his portrayal happened to be. I am going to stay out of the political discussion. Thank you for watching! -Josh
@mozartsbumbumsrus7750 21 күн бұрын
It's a fictional account, a film (Il Postino, 1994) of the book "Ardienta Paciencia" by Antonio Skármeta. It's fun and it utilizes Neruda's love poems. The great Noiret is always fabulous! Enjoy!

I actually really liked this story. Jack in a way was able to win this fight. He’s sick about having to be in a position to have to throw it, even if it pretty obvious he would lose even if he tried. He’s definitely a skilled boxer, but his body is tired and his jab he built his style around slows down in just middle rounds. The surprise comes when his opponent tries to throw the fight by foul when Jack is already tired. His depressed state vanishes and he stays on his feet to avoid winning by foul….and then he goes in a delivers the same treatment but worse landing his weak hand in the same spot where he got hit to let his opponent know he knows what he tried to do. But it makes you wonder, if Jack, in his weak state was still able to pull of this well coordinated attack, maybe he could have actually won if he tried.

Two works that will offer a sociological perspective to Old Dudley’s dilemma of living as a stranger in a strange land is Alfred Schuetz’s essay “The Stranger: An Essay in Social Psychology” (available online) and Pierre Bourdieu’s THE WEIGHT OF THE WORLD: SOCIAL SUFFERING IN CONTEMPORARY SOCIETY. Schuetz’s essay highlights how one (we) “live by recipes” (folkways, mores, laws, habits, and customs), and then we move to a place where the recipes just don’t turn out like they’re suppose to. Bourdieu’s massive tome (almost 700 pages) are interviews with Algerians living in Paris to try to cobble together a living. “Short stories” at their finest.

@LiteraryGladiators Ай бұрын
I feel that the book could have had better implications so that it would be able to appropriately explain what happened to the reader. Instead, we got bits and pieces. If it is appropriate enough to write a book on the topic, it is appropriate enough to properly give us enough, more thorough details as to what happened. This is, to Simon's discretion. I liked it, but I would say it was pretty good.
@Tarasreadingnook Ай бұрын
@LiteraryGladiators the implications where to vague? It's a touchy subject so I guess the author could have done age appropriate [in todays] middle grade ...
@LiteraryGladiators Ай бұрын
Simon did make references to what was taking place, but they were in vague snippets. Yes, I believe she could have laid it out better in a way that was age-appropriate, contingent that it was reflective of Simon's character.
