Instead of being killed for his breach of conduct as most would have been, the Master Assassin gives Altaïr the chance to prove his commitment to the Creed.Īltaïr is provided with a list of nine names: nine men who must be assassinated to keep a sect of the Templars from an evil goal: bringing the world into subjection using an ancient artifact that gives one man the power to control many. Journeying to claim treasure from Solomon’s temple before the crusaders can use it for ill, Altaïr breaks all three of the Assassins tenants. I chose to read book three, The Secret Crusade, because I liked the setting: the Templar crusades. There are several Assassin’s Creed novelizations written by Oliver Bowden. I’m not exactly sure why, though I think it’s safe to assume that it has something to do with cool weaponry. ![]() Assassin’s Creed is near the top of that list. I don’t play video games for various reasons, but I keep a mental list of games that I would like to play if I ever get the chance. I know this, not because I’ve played the video game, but because I have read the novelization. These are the three tenants of the Assassin’s Creed. “Hide in plain sight, become one with the crowd.” “Stay your blade from the flesh of the innocent.” ![]() 5/12/2023 0 Comments Woman hating by andrea dworkin![]() “The analysis of sexism in this book articulates clearly what the oppression of women is, how it functions, how it is rooted in psyche and culture.” This statement as well as her ideas explored throughout the chapter, show Dworkin as a proud feminist and her goal to generate an awareness towards the oppression of the female role in classic fairy tales. In the introduction of Dworkin’s work, she announces, ![]() The first resource used to explore a woman’s representation in classic children’s fairy tales is Andrea Dworkin’s book, Woman Hating, in which she addresses the anti-feminist ideas portrayed within the use of women in fairy tales. Due to the publication of many Fairy Tales being in the 19 th century, such as those of the Brothers Grimm, the ideas portrayed, as well the characters in the fairy tales, underlines a patriarchal aspect which as a result, many believe suppresses women as well as schooling female children on their believed roles in society. ![]() ![]() Children’s literature and Fairy Tales in particular are created in order to captivate children’s imaginations while sometimes perusing a didactic quality in the hope of creating a moral lesson which is included to be taken into consideration. ![]() 5/12/2023 0 Comments The black dagger![]() In this world, vampires are a species distinct from humans that are born, not sired. ![]() In terms of tropes, it has the standard vampire-slayer conflict, except that the world-building around that trope is wildly unexpected. One of the things I found fascinating about this series is its take on vampires. They are an elite force of military-grade vampires, bred for protecting their race, bonded into brotherhood by hundreds of years of devotion to their King and one another, but each having their own unique story, traits, and abilities. Presto! You have the Black Dagger Brotherhood. Imagine if you took The Black Company by Glen Cook, and you turned the concept of their hyper-masculine band of brothers-in-arms, moved it to the modern world, made them vampires, and added a heaping dose of romance. The best place, perhaps, is through comparison. ![]() There is a lot to unpack about the Black Dagger Brotherhood it’s difficult to know where to start. ![]() 5/11/2023 0 Comments Woman at the window book![]() ![]() Anna Fox is a recently separated woman living alone in her restored Harlem brownstone.

An agoraphobic woman living alone in New York begins spying on her new neighbors, only to witness a disturbing act of violence. But regardless of any issues to be found from the adapted script, one thing is certain - Amy Adams always shows up, and the same can be said for the rest of the all-star cast. It would be interesting to find out what changes were made between the original version and the movie that finally made it to Netflix. While Alistair wasn’t cooperating with police, Jane Russell wouldn’t stop talking, according to Detective Little, in a sign that she was not willing to go down for her stepson’s crimes. After Ethan died, Alistair and Jane Russell were arrested for covering up Ethan’s previous murders of Katie - whose body was recovered - and Pamela Nazin in Boston. It seems Alistair wasn't just trying to protect his son from Anna he was actually trying to protect Anna from Ethan (though his tactics were questionable). ![]() 5/11/2023 0 Comments The interior chinatown![]() The text is in typewriter font, and sections are labeled by location or scene title.
