For infomation: https://www.snc.edu/parents/events/knightsanddays/. Wednesday, February 13, 2019 Editor: Samuel Sorenson ENTERTAINMENT snctimes.com/entertainment | 10 Junk Drawer: Snow Day Book/Movie

Eduardo: Elegance of the Hedgehog I have been trying to read this book since Nov. 2016 when my best friend was reading it and recommended it to me. A couple of days later, I bought the book online and decided I was going to start reading it. Days passed, then weeks, then months and “I will get around to it” was all I kept telling myself. Towards the end of the winter break, I managed to get a physical copy of the book that had been sitting on my shelf for the first couple of weeks of school, until the first snow day. As soon as I received the email notification, I thought, “today is the day;” I grabbed the book from the shelf and started reading the first couple of chapters. My mind was blown. “The Elegance of the Hedgehog” immediately felt like a very smooth and comforting read with a captivating story. I have not finished the book yet, but after the first couple of chapters I am more than hooked into this story.

Madelyn: Parks and Recreation I love watching the show Parks and Recreation because it’s a wonderful comedy that’s great for laughs!

Rebecca: Magic and Muggles There is nothing better than snuggling up in a warm blanket, ordering in some pizza and binge watching some of your favorite shows and/or movies. I don’t watch too many television shows, so I often turn to movies to watch in my spare time. In the event of a snow day, I usually turn to the magical realm of Harry Potter and, the most recent addition, Fantastic Beasts. The story of each character, the numerous and often weird creatures, the magic. Everything is very fascinating and I continue to find something new each time I watch it, be it a small detail or a missed tidbit of information.

Sam: Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind Nothing says Polar Vortex like crushing heartbreak, right? “Eternal Sunshine” is one of my favorite movies ever and one of the few movies that completely engulfs me in a complete range of emotions. The somber and snowy setting of the dream world completely encapsulates what being snowed-in feels like. After watching the film, I usually need a full day to recover so that’s what the day off is for. All of that being said, I’m going to go home and watch it right now.

Anna: Inception I think “Inception” is the perfect movie for any occasion. It’s my absolute favorite movie, so I never really get tired of watching it. The idea of turning on the fire- place, snuggling up with a blanket and getting my mind blown for the thirtieth time sounds like the best time ever. “Inception” is eight years old, but it is so detailed that something new can be found in every viewing. And the ending? I mean, come on. I have never seen a better ending to a movie. I’m sure it frustrates a lot of people, but it leaves the door open to so many theories and possibilities. Whether you think the top fell or whether it didn’t or whether the top doesn’t even matter (it doesn’t), you’re not right or wrong. Christopher Nolan is a cinematic genius, and Hans Zimmer is a musical genius. The two make an incredible pairing alongside an incredible cast of Leonardo DiCaprio, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Tom Hardy and Marion Cotillard. “Inception” will leave you questioning your reality and whether it’s real or not.

Left: “Inception” won four Oscars in 2011.

Right: “Parks and Rec” aired for seven seasons.

Entertainment | 12 Entertainment | 13 My Three Favorite Books of All Time ANNA VANSEVEREN | ENTERTAINMENT COLUMNIST 3. “They Both Die at the End” by Adam Silvera

Yes, this is actually the title of the book, and yes, both main characters do die at the end. Rufus and Mateo get a call at midnight from Death-Cast, telling them that they are going to die today. Rufus and Mateo are complete strangers, but through an app called Last Friend, they meet and embark on one last adventure. Both want a friend on their last day for completely different reasons, but they end up realizing that they wouldn’t want to spend their last day with anyone else. What I appreciate so much about this book is that it follows a number of characters on their last day. Although the story focuses on Mateo and Rufus, we get to see a number of people on their End Days and how their deaths affect other deaths. This book is by far one of the saddest I have ever read. The more I told myself not to get attached to Rufus and Mateo, the more I loved them. Even though I knew they were going to die, their deaths still left such an impact on me. That is all due to Silvera’s writing style. He truly knows how to write a heartbreaking story. Don’t let the sadness of this book hinder you from reading it, though. Yes, it’s sad, but it’s also filled with joy and hope and laughter. Favorite Quote: “Maybe it’s better to have gotten it right and been happy for one day instead of living a lifetime of wrongs.” Goodreads Rating: 4.15/5

2. “We Are the Ants” by Shaun David Hutchinson

This book is a little bit bizarre but bear with me. The main character, Henry, has spent years being periodically abducted by aliens. One night, the aliens tell him that the world will end soon, and all Henry has to do to stop it is to press a big red button. It sounds simple, but Henry isn’t so sure he wants to save humanity. Henry is dealing with the grief of his boyfriend’s suicide. On top of that, his brother just knocked someone up, his grand- mother is dying of Alzheimer’s and his mother seems to only be holding herself together by a stream of cigarette smoke. To Henry, a blank slate might not be so bad. Instead of pushing the button immediately, Henry decides to weigh all the pros and cons of his life, including his best friend, his bully and the brilliant boy who walked into the wrong class. He finds that this deci- sion is not as simple as he once thought it was. I am completely obsessed with this book. Henry is such an interesting character; one of the most interesting that I have ever read. This book grapples with a lot of metaphysical questions that I find really interesting to contemplate. These are the kinds of questions that we like to avoid thinking about, but Hutchinson makes you face them head-on. “We Are the Ants” asks us: If you were given the opportunity to save the world from damnation, would you? Favorite Quote: “Your entire sense of self-worth is predicated upon your belief that you matter, that you matter to the uni verse. But you don’t. Because we are the ants.” Goodreads Rating: 4.21/5

1. “The Song of Achilles” by Madeline Miller

Alright, hold your Trojan Horses because this book will com- pletely wreck you. “The Song of Achilles” is an incredibly powerful and moving story about the Trojan War that is told from Patroclus’ point of view. As a boy, Patroclus finds himself exiled to the court of King Peleus, where he meets Achilles. Achilles is unlike anyone Pa- troclus has ever laid eyes on. He’s… well, he’s perfect. Both boys become skilled in the arts of war and medicine, and over the years, their friendship deepens into so much more, despite the dis- pleasure of Achilles’ mother. When word arrives that Helen of Sparta has been kidnapped, Patroclus follows Achilles into Troy out of both fear and love. What happens next will test everything the two hold dear. If you know a lot about Greek Mythology, then you know the ending to this story. However, I guarantee that you have never heard it told like this. Madeline Miller is one of my favorite authors for her ability to draw you into a story. She writes so beautifully and can har- ness all the raw emotion in the world into just a few words. I could probably still shed a tear for this book if I thought hard enough about it. It is so powerful and intense, and I cannot recommend it enough. Favorite Quote: “I could recognize him by touch alone, by smell; I would know him blind, by the way his breaths came and his feet struck the earth. I would know him in death, at the end of the world.” Goodreads Rating: 4.32/5
