OCTOBER 2016 Small Great Things Jodi Picoult A woman is caught in a gripping moral dilemma that resonates far beyond her place in time and history in #1 New York Times bestseller Jodi Picoult's latest. Description 'If I cannot do great things, I can do small things in a great way.' Martin Luther King Jr 'I don't want that nurse touching my baby.' Those are the instructions from the newborn child's parents. However, when the baby goes into cardiac arrest, Ruth, a nurse of twenty years' experience, sees no option but to assist. But the baby dies. And Ruth is charged with negligent homicide. Ruth is shattered and bewildered as she tries to come to terms with her situation. She finds different kinds of support from her sister, a fiery radical, and her teenage son, but it is to Kennedy McQuarrie, a white middle-class lawyer, to whom she entrusts her case, and her future. As the two come to develop a truer understanding of each other's lives, they begin to doubt the beliefs they each hold most dear. In order for the privileged to prosper, they come to realise, others have to suffer. Racism takes many forms, and is reinforced and underpinned by the structures of our society. In gripping dramas like Nineteen Minutes, My Sister's Keeper and The Pact, Jodi Picoult has explored the big issues of our time through characters whose lives resonate with us. Here we see once again her unrivalled ability to immerse us in a story whose issues will linger with us long after the final page has been finished.

Description It wasn't just one person who went missing, it was two people. Two very different people. They were there, and then they were gone, as if from a crack in the sky. After that, in a small town like Goodwood, where we had what Nan called 'a high density of acquaintanceship', everything stopped. Or at least it felt that way. The normal feeling of things stopped. Goodwood is a small town where everyone knows everything about everyone. It's a place where it's impossible to keep a secret. In 1992, when Jean Brown is seventeen, a terrible thing happens. Two terrible things. Rosie White, the coolest girl in town, vanishes overnight. One week later, Goodwood's most popular resident, Bart McDonald, sets off on a fishing trip and never comes home. People die in Goodwood, of course, but never like this. They don't just disappear. As the intensity of speculation about the fates of Rosie and Bart heightens, Jean, who is keeping secrets of her own, and the rest of Goodwood are left reeling. Rich in character and complexity, its humour both droll and tender, Goodwood is a compelling ride into a small community, torn apart by dark rumours and mystery.

Description Lirael is no longer a shy Second Assistant Librarian. She is the Abhorsen-in-Waiting, with dead creatures to battle and Free Magic entities to bind. She's also a Remembrancer, wielder of the Dark Mirror. Lirael lost one of her hands in the binding of Orannis, but now she has a new hand, one of gilded steel and Charter Magic. When Lirael finds Nicholas Sayre lying unconscious after being attacked by a hideous Free Magic creature, she uses her powers to save him. But Nicholas is deeply tainted with Free Magic. Fearing it will escape the Charter mark that seals it within his flesh and bone, Lirael seeks help for Nick at her childhood home, the Clayr's Glacier. Even as Lirael and Nick return to the Clayr, a young woman from the distant north braves the elements and many enemies in a desperate attempt to bring a message to Lirael from her long-dead mother, Arielle. Ferin brings a dire warning about the Witch With No Face. But who is the Witch, and what is she planning? Once more a great danger threatens the Old Kingdom, and it must be forestalled not only in the living world, but also in the cold, remorseless river of Death.

    1 CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION A. Background of the Study Racism Is

    CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION A. Background of the Study Racism is a society issues which faced in many countries in the world time to time. Most of the citizen in many countries, especially in America gets sensitive issue about racism. The leader of the Cuban Revolusion Fidel Castro (2001) stated that “This (racism) is a very serious problem in the United States”. America is a develop country with for about 323.1 million population consist of black and white people. As we know that, one of the main problems in America is about racism between black people and white people. Racism appears because of negative attitudes and thought to other races which is considered inferior. According to Hoyt (2012: 225) states that racism is the belief that all members of a purported race processes characteristics, abilities, or qualities specific to that race, especially to distinguish it as inferior or superior to another race. Someone can claim that other races are inferior because of their different color, language and the faith of particular race. It is determines the quality of culture and individuals to classify a race into a superior or inferior. The impact of racism may occur in education and in the court. The report from U.S. Department of Education (in Nittle, Nadra: 2018 ) states that black students are three times more likely to be suspended or expelled than their white peers, even they in preschoolers. According to the study published in Psychological Science indicates that it triggered by prejudices of white people who believe and perceive that black boys as threatening at just 5 years old, then associating them with adjectives such as violent, dangerous, hostile and aggressive (APS,2016 in Nittle, Nadra: 2018, para.

    Newsletter | August 2017

    Newsletter | August 2017 SMALL GREAT THINGS by Jodi Picoult - Some books leave you thinking... this one gets you talking Recently, the High Plains Library District announced they would be bringing in New York Times bestselling author and book club favorite Jodi Picoult for the 2017 Signature Author Series. Her latest chart-topper, Small Great Things, will be the focus of the event. This is an especially exciting book in that it addresses some very difficult topics. Namely: Race in our culture and the biases that skew our views of one another as individuals. On the set of CBS This Morning, Picoult explained what an intimidating subject this has been for her to address, and how she had failed several previous attempts to base a novel around these themes. It may come as a surprise that an author who has not shied away from difficult subject matter including, but not limited to The Holocaust, hate crimes, and ethical questions surrounding cancer treatment, would find anything difficult to address. Nevertheless, conversations about race provide a special challenge in that a person can only speak from a single perspective. Picoult, herself, expressed feelings that this story may not be hers to tell. That it seemed difficult to write about the subject in a way that would not offend. Yet, to leave important topics unaddressed causes them to pressurize. And that is why the High Plains Library District is pleased to bring in a celebrated author who had the courage to engage in a difficult conversation. It is our hope that we and our users can share in that conversation and, as a result, bridge some of the subtle gaps between ourselves and others.

    Amelia Gentleman Guardian Journalist and Author “The Windrush Betrayal” Media Masters – May 14, 2020 Listen to the podcast online, visit www.mediamasters.fm Welcome to Media Masters, a series of one-to-one interviews with people at the top of the media game. Today, I'm joined by The Guardian journalist Amelia Gentleman. In 2018, she brought the story of the Windrush scandal, which ultimately led to the resignation of Home Secretary Amber Rudd. Her work on the story earned her the Paul Foot Award. She was named journalist of the year by the Political Studies Association and the British Journalism Awards and her recent book, The Windrush Betrayal exposing the hostile environment has been shortlisted for the Orwell Prize. Amelia, thank you for joining me. Thank you for having me. Let's start with the flattering question then if we may. I mean you've won more awards quite rightly so than any other guest I've had on. You must have a very well-stocked mantelpiece at home. I'm sure that's not true. I'm sure that's not true. The thing about journalism as an industry is that we have a lot of award ceremonies. I'm sure we have more than most other professions. So that probably explains it. Well, let's start if we may with the Windrush expose which shocked the nation. When did you first sense that there was a big story here that needed pursuing? It took a long time actually to realize that it was something systematic that was affecting lots of people.
