Comments (23)Welcome Hmazie...I agree with ronnie..I didn't read the whole name (I guess I only read what I wanted to read) then looked at the post and the date and was momentarily confused. I'm sure we will get used to it. I have done MANY searches and never found a mosaic magazine...but like everyone has said, now that you found us you will not need a magazine!!!! I am a book nut and have tons of great mosaic books if you need any ideas for great books I'd be more than willing to throw out some titles at ya!!!...See MoreAnne Hereford, or the novels of Mrs. Henry Wood
Comments (25)ccrdmrbks, I was sorry to hear about your father's accident. It sounds like a very upsetting experience for both of you. Luckily, he has people around him who can monitor him closely. Rosefolly, I heard about Gaslight, but I think I was too late to participate. Le Fanu left some very good ghost stories, though my favourite ghost story writer will always be M. R. James. It really amazes me how much 19th century literature has been given a second life on the internet. Like yourself, I am very grateful to these unknown people who did all the work. For example, when I wanted to read Sarah Orne Jewett's story Lady Ferry, I was able to do so immediately. For years I have wanted to read Dawn Powell's story The Glads, which she wrote about her sister's funeral. I wish someone would put it on the internet, but so far no one has done so. I hope you enjoy Anne Hereford, Carolyn. Please let me know what you think about it....See Morefor admirers of the Anne novels
Comments (6)If that information is from the new book you mention, it seems unlikely and unreliable. Evelyn Nesbit was the notorious "girl in the red velvet swing", the centerpiece of one of the most famous crimes of the 20c. She was no Gibson Girl, as the type was defined, and it is inconceivable that Anne of Green Gables is based on Evelyn Nesbit. Nesbit was, of course, the girl for whom Stanford White, one of America's greatest architects, was shot and killed. Nesbit was married to a wealthy and unstable young man who took umbrage at White's seduction of his beautiful young wife. Nesbit had a bit of a history herself and was definitely not the all-American girl of perfect lineage, brimming with self-confidence and outdoors-y interests, portrayed by Gibson. The only thing they had in common was their beauty. Nesbit is known to have modeled for artists. Perhaps the author is implying that Gibson used her as a model. It would be interesting to see his evidence....See MorePoor grammar: Is it just me...
Comments (87)Vee, my high school had about a thousand students and probably close to one hundred teachers (not counting support staff). Using English as an example, there was at least one teacher for every grade level, thus I had a different English teacher every year. One year I actually had two: the one who taught grammar and composition during the fall term, and the one who taught literature in the spring term. Btw, that sequence -- grammar in the fall, literature in the spring -- held through all of my four years of English. Donnamira, I loved diagramming sentences! I wonder why it was discontinued, as it seemed to me to be a wonderful way to learn the structure of English. I can relate to your experience of understanding a limit in trig! Those breakthroughs were always worth much more than the price of tuition, I think. You had a lot more exams than I remember taking. I don't think we had anything like your Regents exam. We took the Iowa Achievement Test every year from about third grade; but as it was supposed to be an assessment of how much we had already learned, we were not drilled on what we could expect to appear in it. And I never studied specifically for it -- I don't think anyone did. Neither did I cram, as so many students later have done, to take the ACT and/or SAT. I took both, very casually. Vee, I don't recall my schedules of classes, but I think we had each subject daily much the same as Kath and Donnamira did. I didn't have "blocks" before college. High school began at 8 a.m. and let out at 3.45 p.m. We had seven class periods and lunch between those times. We were discouraged from talking, as well, especially during class. I'm always surprised to hear the din in modern classrooms....See Moreskibby (zone 4 Vermont)
