Chuyện Kể Về Danh Nhân Thế Giới: Who? Hans Christian Andersen Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

This was a fascinating book. It took the concept of 'outliers' - those that lie outside of the standard 'bell curve' of life - and discussed their success in terms of the cultural legacies that surrounded them. None of us are 'self-made'. We are the product of our environments in a profound way. Gladwell looked at hockey stars, The Beatles, Bill Gates, successful New York Jewish lawyers, Asian's proficiency in math . . . and discussed their success in terms of the culture that surrounded them. He proposes a '10,000 hour theory'. Which is that to excel in any endeavor - it takes 10,000 of work/study/experience. Bill Gates had his 10,000 in, at exactly the right time in history. By shear chance - he had access to a computer terminal (rare for even college campuses at the time) at age 13. Not only was he born at exactly the right time, that when he came of age he was able to take advantage of the computer revolution around him, he also had his 10,000 hours in. The Beatles had 10,000 hours in Hamburg Germany where they played long hours, every day before they made it big. He also discusses the idea the meaningful work must have three things - a relationship between effort and reward, autonomy (is that the right word? I don't know), and oh I can't remember - there was something else. Anyway - I did think that his definition of 'success' was a bit shallow. He discussed New York Jewish lawyers - and the young father - born exactly at the wrong time - coming of age during the depression, who scrimped and saved and worked law cases for pittance was a failure while his son - who was born at exactly the right time, during a demographic slump - and made millions was a success. His narrow definition of success seemed to only include - being a lawyer, doctor, being famous, or making a lot of money. Actually - even more narrowly - his only definition of success was money (being a lawyer or doctor or being famous, involves making a lot of money). But aside from this point - it was a very interesting book - and made me very grateful for my own heritage and the culture in which I have grown up and now find myself.

When reading Jaycee's memoir I felt, at times, the way that I did when I read parts of Alice Sebold's "Lucky;" I felt like I was invading her privacy. Granted, she didn't get into every gritty detail and I think that was because, as she stated, it was hard for her to write this. Still I felt wrong reading it. I had to remind myself as to why she was writing it and one of those reasons was to tell the truth about what these people put her through. What I learned in this story, that was different from that of Sebold's (because Sebold was not abducted) was how far mental manipulation can go. I mean, I read parts (without stating spoilers) and thought, why are you not crying for help right now while you have the chance to. I had to remind myself that it is easy to say such things when one is not there in the situation. I also had to remind myself that Jaycee was 11 when she was abducted. I would assume that the younger the age the more the mind manipulations sets in because the person had fewer experiences and lessons that would have helped to prevent that manipulation from setting in. I knew that mental manipulation is what drives people like Phillip. If they could not control the person mentally then they would not get what they want from them as easily. And I would assume that is why these sick individuals are drawn to kids. I still cannot wrap my head around 18 years of rape, mental manipulation, and so much solitude. I'm really at a loss of words for what these people did to Jaycee. I can say that she is inspiring. She gives so much hope out of something so hopeless. I thank her for sharing this and teaching others at the same time. And can I say, what a shame on those paparazzi. What a shame that they would treat her the way that they do.

The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner retells the battle and events leading up to the battle in the Eclipse novel, however from an entirely different perspective. That of Bree Tanner, one of the newborns that Victoria creates with gaining vengeance on the Cullens. The book is not entirely as captivating as the rest of the books in the Twilight Saga, however it still is successful in revealing a different story and perceptions of what really happened on the other side of Seattle, where the newborns were bred and trained, prepared for what was ahead. Bree Tanner, a young teenage girl, very unaware of the vampire world and the opposing covens. She has no knowing of what her purpose is, the only thing she knows is that, she thirsts for blood. There is not much that can be done when there are vampires competing amongst each other for there feed. Its the fight to the death. Bree finds herself hiding from the rest of the coven, or as she would say, the rest of the hunters. The break out of one fight can lead to both hunters absolutely destroyed. But when she meets Diego, his calm, gentle and caring approach towards her, his eyes slightly darker in red than hers, she finds herself connected to him in mind and soul, they both have similar ambitions. The moment comes when Bree realises, everything isnt as exactly as it seems, and sometimes, lies must be told to keep order. Who is the mysterious creator? What information is being kept from them? How long will the continuous thirst and blood fight last? This novel doesn't really seem to go into much detail with her emotional thoughts, but much more about what is happening and simply retelling the events. Throughout the book I found that there is a great amount of continuous questioning and wonder, rather than an opinion being beseeched. Still, the novel does not fail to describe the quench for thirst and create a great deal of empathy for Bree. We are drawn into her world of pain towards the end of the novel where we witness her extreme sadness for Diego's death and overwhelming and unbearable pain, fear and torture leading up to her undeserved death. For this poor, unfortunate young girl, there was no escape.
