You can be at the heights of greatness one day and be reduced greatly the next due to illness or other issues. https://nowcomment.com/documents/25273?scroll_to=294619 https://nowcomment.com/documents/25273?scroll_to=294619 Sat, 20 Feb 2016 08:46:09 -0500 True. https://nowcomment.com/documents/25273?scroll_to=294618 https://nowcomment.com/documents/25273?scroll_to=294618 Sat, 20 Feb 2016 08:46:09 -0500 Yes, he took us inside their relationship. https://nowcomment.com/documents/25273?scroll_to=294616 https://nowcomment.com/documents/25273?scroll_to=294616 Sat, 20 Feb 2016 08:46:09 -0500 They were the younger generation who had served in the war. https://nowcomment.com/documents/25205?scroll_to=294615 https://nowcomment.com/documents/25205?scroll_to=294615 Sat, 20 Feb 2016 08:46:09 -0500 It could be...maybe they needed to make themselves relevant since they didn't follow the norms of generations before them. https://nowcomment.com/documents/25205?scroll_to=294614 https://nowcomment.com/documents/25205?scroll_to=294614 Sat, 20 Feb 2016 08:46:09 -0500 It shows that to have a successful community people must stick together and support each other.

Having a depressed FDR around her would create a solemn environment. He was always supportive of her and this was a time when he needed her most, especially since his mother wasn't being supportive. She knew how much politics and becoming president meant to him and if he wasn't able to do that he would die faster. She pushed him into continuing on that journey because she knows it would bring him out of his depression and it would give him something to do other than thinking about his illness.

The fact that he's so attached to his hoffner bass suggests that he still has some youthfulness in him; he hasn't totally let go of his youth and his hoffner bass also makes him look "hip" and trendy.

You can't truly understand who a person is now without understand how they were as a child, the environment they grew up in and what contributed to the person they are today. In McCartney's case, he lost his mother at a young age, that's something that was probably hard for him to talk about and inviting a biographer into his life will stir up feelings he'd probably want to keep intimate. He has probably found a way to deal with it and letting other people, especially the public, into that part of his life may just disturb the wound. Not only will others be a part of an intimate event in his life, he may be required to talk about his biography in interviews and will therefore be questioned about his mother's death and his past. Sat, 20 Feb 2016 08:46:09 -0500 To "keep someone at bay" means to keep them at a distance, so that word suggests that McCartney did not allow biographers to get close to him, and like Jason said, it's probably because he didn't trust them. It really does make me want to find out why... https://nowcomment.com/documents/25272?scroll_to=291259 https://nowcomment.com/documents/25272?scroll_to=291259 To "keep someone at bay" means to keep them at a distance, so that word suggests that McCartney did not allow biographers to get close to him, and like Jason said, it's probably because he didn't trust them. It really does make me want to find out why...one would think all celebrities want their life story told.

Her argument and ideas represent, not just those around her, but herself. She makes her point clear and factual https://nowcomment.com/documents/25204?scroll_to=284741 https://nowcomment.com/documents/25204?scroll_to=284741 Sat, 20 Feb 2016 08:45:58 -0500 Sometimes people are already familiar with the literature, but this kind of review invites a yearning for a better understanding of who Sylvia Plath really is bad represents. https://nowcomment.com/documents/25199?scroll_to=275772 https://nowcomment.com/documents/25199?scroll_to=275772 Sat, 20 Feb 2016 08:45:51 -0500 The title suggests that the author attributes characteristics of a goddess to Sylvia Plath. Beaded on the events of her life, some people, especially critics might disagree because the don't see a comparison between the two. https://nowcomment.com/documents/25199?scroll_to=275771 https://nowcomment.com/documents/25199?scroll_to=275771 Sat, 20 Feb 2016 08:45:51 -0500 You're right. Still, though others may object his interpretation, i dont see how he can be blamed for what the biography says, especially since intention cannot be determined and thats just his interpretation. https://nowcomment.com/documents/25198?scroll_to=275463 https://nowcomment.com/documents/25198?scroll_to=275463 Sat, 20 Feb 2016 08:45:51 -0500 Wrong word...in the beginning he was more like the victim but turned out to be the total opposite in the end. https://nowcomment.com/documents/25198?scroll_to=275462 https://nowcomment.com/documents/25198?scroll_to=275462 Sat, 20 Feb 2016 08:45:51 -0500 Yes, i agree. What made it even worse is that not only did she take her own life, she also takes a part of Ted with her, their child. The review started out with Ted being innocent; by the end he leads both his women to self destruction https://nowcomment.com/documents/25198?scroll_to=271564 https://nowcomment.com/documents/25198?scroll_to=271564 Sat, 20 Feb 2016 08:45:51 -0500 I do not understand how the reviewer can be blamed, unless the reviewer gives an interpretation that is not intended by the biographer. Can you please expound further... https://nowcomment.com/documents/25198?scroll_to=271563 https://nowcomment.com/documents/25198?scroll_to=271563 Sat, 20 Feb 2016 08:45:51 -0500 I believe it has a positive effect on the review. It makes you gasp and invites the reader to want to read the actual book. It's always more interesting to have an unexpected event at the end...the way the end of Assia's life sort of mirrors that of Sylvi https://nowcomment.com/documents/25198?scroll_to=271527 https://nowcomment.com/documents/25198?scroll_to=271527 Sat, 20 Feb 2016 08:45:48 -0500
