“Dear George Clooney”, please don’t read this book
Well what can you say about “ Dear George Clooney, Please Marry my Mom”, How about, no, that’s it bad book with bad characters, no reason what so ever to read it. But if by any chance you come across needing to read it, be warned, you will find yourself lost in all the pointless side plots, and enraged by how they are managed, for example the fact that the book ends with Ingrid being with the loser Dudley and George Clooney saying no, yes that realistic, but what the heck is the point of the book, that Dudley isn’t a loser, well then leave it the last chapter of this book to massacre any possibility of a satisfying ending. If you are having trouble understanding, here is a short summary,

Anyways back to the summary, Violet is going on a trip to L.A. to visit her real dad, while on a trip to Stars maps with her step mom she decides it a good idea to try and see if she can talk to George, Violet as I said, creeps out of her car and attempts to sneak into George's house and ask him to marry her mom, if that sounds weird just keep listening, after that, she steals a golf cart and runs it into his car, while eating lunch with her dad it. This is actually serious, stealing go carts and trying to see celebrities is nothing to put in a book, many of them have had traumatic experiences with fans. Anyways as I said she attempts to climb the fence to get to george’s house, meanwhile at home Violet's mom is attempting to find love with and absolute loser by the name of Dudley, I believe that Susin was attempting to make Dudley charming but from what we know about Ingrid she doesn’t deserve someone like dudley, Ingrid is the cool mom that everyone likes, she makes good choices most of the time,so why place her with dudley this book has potential to be very good, so that is what leads me to think that Ingrid being with Dudley and the fact that even the most bias reader would notice the extreme plot convenience, from the keys being in the golf cart when she wants to steal to the fact that her dad works right next to george clooney, is what forced george clooney to be bad, Susin
It wasn't badly written, I just didn't like how so much happened in such a small amount of time. Everything was so dramatic and nothing in the story was small or relatively normal. It was too dramatic for me personally. I would not go to a bookstore and pick it up and buy the book but that is just me. I know people who like books who have a lot going on and have tons of different conflicts at once. There was nothing I specifically did not like about the story, it just was not for
Lester Bowles Pearson left the most outstanding and beneficial legacy on Canada. He was our Canadian Prime Minister from April 22, 1963 to April 20, 1968. Pearson helped make us grow as a country and brought us together as a nation. Pearson is the reason that Canada has its outstanding flag and the reason that Canadians have pension plans. Just a few of the important things he did to make Canada an amazing country were; putting universal Medicare into effect, passing the Royal Commission on Bilingualism and Biculturalism, and he helped bring the Canadian and American Auto Pact into play. These are just a few of the lasting legacies that Lester Boweles Pearson left on our beautiful home country.
First, as intro says, "If strong ideas and action offend you then read no more.” This quote is very accurate, because in order to enjoy the book you must be willing to accept the opinions expressed and be willing to hear tales of wild adventures. I really enjoyed this book because it was a more mild version of historical fiction. It didn't have many strong references history-it was more of an action-packed story than one about history. Finally, It had a strong main character, Charlotte Doyle. Who is a female; I like that because it showed that girls can be action heroes
On top of that, a new girl at school has gone missing and is possibly murdered. Soon she gets caught up in the mix of it and the messages begin playing with her head and heart. The climax of the story is when Clare is kidnapped at her school dance in the back of a trunk with her worst enemy. In the end the story is resolved when Clare finds out who her stalker is and meets her brother. Her brother uses his power to sense something is wrong and drives to the house his gift is telling him to save his sister.
Some parts of the book were exciting and I couldn't wait to find out what happened next but other parts did get boring. There is particularly offensive language used in the version that I read so I think that you have to be mature enough to understand why it is being used.
Greg doesn’t fully understand her decision, but still tries to cheer her up. A friend of Rachel’s makes a suggestion to Greg, saying he and Earl should make a film for Rachel, and they agree. Midway through finishing the film, Rachel informs Greg that she knows about the film that he and Earl are making for her. Among the people who told her, was Earl. Furious, he leaves Rachel’s house and heads to Earl’s, ready to scold him. Unsurprisingly, Earl yells at Greg with unbridled rage, telling Greg that all that he cares about is himself and what others think of him, and the others don’t care about
Ruby then gets separated from Martin and Cate then found another group she's scared of but is coming around to loving and growing major feelings for and would do anything to protect them. Ruby meets the “Slip” kid and finds out he has studied her “I just collect information, watch the networks to see what everyone is buzzing about and just happens to be you Miss Daly Pg 335”.
I believe that this was a pretty decent book, at times it was boring and
This was the first house that Astrid felt safe in, that she felt loved in. However, things began to change when Ingrid gets into Claire’s fragile head, or at least that’s what Astrid thought. Along with Claire’s paranoia and depression, Ingrid strikes a nerve that ultimately leads to Claire’s suicide, which Astrid immediately blames her mother for. It is heart-breaking to read as Astrid is offered up love, and just as quickly it is taken away and she is back in the system. Even from jail Ingrid has a hold on Astrid’s
Which can easily turn friends from childhood to fiendish enemies? It really shows the side of man kind that can easily destroy one another. Another reason I didn’t like it is that of the fact that one woman's petty grudges with other families could kill so many innocent people. The final reason I dislike this book is that of the fact that people could, be this idiotic about so called witches when there was never one in the first
Vale decided what happens in her house. When Charlotte is taking Doctor Jaquith around the house, they walk up the stairs and she tells him the stairs squeak because when she was 17, she came home late and her mother noticed from the stairs and since then she will not fix the stairs so she knows when Charlotte tries to come home late or leaves. This shows Mrs. Vale is strict and would like to be able to hear her child at night if she tries to leave or come home late. Once Charlotte and the Doctor get into her room, she starts to talk to him about her mother and tells him a story about when they were on a ship and she was engaged to the sailor and her mother tries to make her feel ugly by saying “why you not wearing your glasses? You will never get another pair of eyes.” Making her put her glasses on symbolizes that if you have glasses on, you are ugly and worthless which is what she is trying to get Charlotte to feel. After she goes away to get help and return from the cruise, Charlotte goes upstairs to her mother’s room and Mrs. Vale tells her that she invited people over and tells her “I’ll wear my white lace gown. Wear your black and white foulard.” Charlotte tries to tell her mother she lost over twenty-five pounds and it will not fit her but her mother tells her that she has had Miss Till here and took it in. She is trying to tell Charlotte that she decides what she wears and she has no say in it but Charlotte goes behind her mother’s back and wears what she wants. When Charlotte tries to talk to her mother about independence and how she has never had any with her, her mother tells her “to buy what you want, to wear what you choose, I make the decisions here, Charlotte.” Then tells her that she should wear her glasses so it’s less of a shock to people and because of her illness she lost her hair and she is letting it grow out as quick as she can. This is Mrs. Vale deciding what Charlotte does even
Imagine that it is over ten thousand years ago, and you live in a hunter-gatherer society. You are in charge of feeding your family, so your job for the day is to go hunt down dinner. You’re no slacker, but unfortunately, today is a slow day. You are empty handed, but you know that your wife will have a fit if she has to eat nuts and grass another day. Luckily, you spot a bear in the distance, a bear large enough to feed your entire village. It is the moment of truth-- are you coming home as the village hero, or will you have to spend another night consoling your passive aggressive wife? Too bad you don’t have a cell phone to speed dial your friends for help. That’s okay though. You’ve done this before and can handle it with the help of
George Clooney was one Hollywood’s best-known bachelors until he married his wife Amal Clooney back in 2014.
I also found that is Network the feminist theory (male gaze theory) doesn’t apply to this film, and maybe with good reason. Laura Mulvey ‘feminist theory’ (1975) states ‘The woman as icon, displayed for the gaze and enjoyment of men’. There was much interest in the view of the way we see females in cinema after her article. Diana Christensen’s (Faye Dunaway) character is entirely different to this way of film. She is smart focused and not objectifying herself to the audience or fellow members of staff. I found this interesting as cinema previously had the lead female vulnerable and out of touch with a masculine world. As if they need constant protection from an intimidating. As Diana is opposite, she embraces the challenge and often comes out
Without appreciation and considerations to morality and religion then it would be difficult to fully comprehend the novel.
