![]() Many more were kidnapped and adopted out to white families. ![]() ![]() Many children who died were buried in unmarked graves and have never been identified, while those who survived had neither the cultural knowledge to reintegrate into their families nor the skills to assimilate into white society. In practice, the schools were successful in cutting children off from their cultures, if the children survived at all-mortality rates were extremely high due to poor conditions, inadequate medical care, and unwillingness on the part of school officials to quarantine or treat the huge number of students infected with tuberculosis. Milloy has argued that the goal of these schools was to "kill the Indian in the child" by removing children from their families, forbidding them to speak their native languages or practice their religious beliefs, and in theory, preparing them to assimilate into mainstream Canadian society. ![]() Though the Canadian residential school program came into its full power in the 1860s and '70s (after the passage of the Indian Act and an amendment that made attendance at residential or day schools mandatory for Indigenous children), efforts to assimilate Indigenous populations into European colonial society had been going on since the French arrived in New France in the 17th century. ![]() ![]() There are no deliveries on Saturdays, Sundays or Bank Holidays.

In 2018, Annihilation was made into a major motion picture of the same name from Paramount Pictures, directed by Alex Garland and starring Natalie Portman as the biologist. The primary characters are all referred to by their occupations (the biologist, the psychologist, the anthropologist, and the surveyor), leading to a unique distance between the narrative and the characters. ![]() The novel follows a team of four women who make up the Twelfth Expedition into a supernatural containment zone called Area X. VanderMeer claims that the novel's inspiration came from a 14-mile hike through a wildlife refuge in Florida, St. It is perhaps one of the foremost contemporary examples of the literary genre weird fiction. It seems to defy categorization: it is at once speculative fiction, science fiction, thriller, and horror, while also being regarded alongside Thoreau's "experiments in psychedelic nature writing" and Kafka's "epistemic pessimism" (Rothman). Annihilation is a darkly complex novel from author Jeff VanderMeer, the first installment of his Southern Reach Trilogy. ![]() ![]() ![]() I tried to speed through the first three books (as much as it’s possible to speed through audiobooks) so that I could read the fourth one in sequence, as it’s nominated for the Cybils and I’d have to read it anyway. Here’s a series that got slowly pushed to the top of my list by the sheer amount of fellow blogger love for it. I thought that if Charlotte – and lots of other people – liked the Magic Thief better than the Winterling books that I had considered quite solid, I’d best get on reading them. This spring, Charlotte wrote a Waiting on Wednesday post about how, while she liked Fer and Rook just fine, she was really anxiously waiting to find out what would happen to Conn. This is a series that hadn’t really been on my radar until last year, when I Winterling, also by Prineas. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() In Chapter 1, “Ramona’s Great Day,” Ramona meets her new teacher, Miss Binney, and is immediately enamored with her. Ramona the Pest opens on the morning of Ramona Quimby’s first day of kindergarten, and she could not be more excited. As the Ramona series goes on, readers watch Ramona grow from a young child (in Ramona the Pest, she is about 5 years old) into a pre-teen (in Ramona’s World, she is about 10 years old). Cleary creates an entire universe of characters set in the same neighborhood, each of whom she explores in a separate series. ![]() Ramona the Pest is set in the same neighborhood as Cleary’s “Henry Huggins series,” who is also a character in the book. The Ramona series is “realistic fiction” in that there are no fantastical elements and both plotline and characters are true-to-life. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() 4.5 out of 5 stars 4.
