The monk frees her against her wishes, and the King of All Night's Dreaming allows them a farewell.

  • Using Fiction to Support Gender Equality: the Case for Neverwhere
    Högskolan i Halmstad Sektionen för lärarutbildning Engelska 61-90 hp - Using Fiction to support gender equality: the case for Neverwhere and Pride and Prejudice - Karen Gustavsson C-uppsats Handledare: Anna Fåhraeus 2 Abstract This essay is a discussion of how fiction can be used in teaching English as a second language to promote gender equality. The novels analyzed are Pride and Prejudice and Neverwhere. Firstly, the term gender is explained. Secondly, there is some research that demonstrates how gender is a social construction. The focus of this essay is on the role of the teacher, since his or her expectations and his or her way of interacting with students is crucial to promote gender equality in the classroom. Additionally, there is a discussion of the strategies that can help the teacher to detect bias in the teaching material. Furthermore, there are suggestions on how the novels can be used to promote gender equality through using the content-based approach. 3 Contents Introduction ............................................................................................................... 4 Literature overview ................................................................................................... 5 Method ...................................................................................................................... 7 What is gender? ......................................................................................................... 8 The role of the teacher .............................................................................................

  • American Gods by Neil Gaiman Image
    American Gods by Neil Gaiman Image: the cover of American Gods Released from prison, Shadow finds his world turned upside down. His wife has been killed; a mysterious stranger offers him a job. But Mr. Wednesday, who knows more about Shadow than is possible, warns that a storm is coming – a battle for the very soul of America . and they are in its direct path. American Gods is a kaleidoscopic journey into myth and across an American landscape at once eerily familiar and utterly alien. Visit Neil Gaiman’s site: http://neilgaiman.com/ Read Chapter 1: http://neilgaiman.com/works/Books/American+Gods/in/181/ Reviews: Library Journal: In his latest novel, Gaiman (Neverwhere ) explores the vast and bloody landscape of myths and legends where the gods of yore and the neoteric gods of now conflict in modern-day America. The antihero, a man of unusually acute intellect through whose eyes we witness the behind-the-scenes dynamics of human religion and faith, is a convict called Shadow. He is flung into the midst of a supernatural fray of gods such as Odin, Anansi, Loki One-Eye, Thor, and a multitude of other ancient divinities as they struggle for survival in an America beset by trends, fads, and constant upheaval—an environment not good for gods. They are joined in this struggle by such contemporary deities as the geek-boy god Internet and the goddess Media. There's a nice plot twist in the end, and the fascinating subject matter and impressive mythic scope are handled creatively and expertly. Gaiman is an exemplary short story writer, but his ventures into novels are also compellingly imaginative.

    I N T E RW O R L D N E I L G A I M A N M I C H A E L R E A V E S Neil would like to dedicate this book to his son Mike, who read the manuscript and liked it and encouraged us, and always asked when he was going to be able to read it in a real book. Michael would like to dedicate this book to Steve Saffel. P A R T I C H A P T E R O N E Once I got lost in my own house. I guess it wasn't quite as bad as it sounds. We had just built a new annex—added a hallway and a bedroom for the squid, aka Kevin, my really little brother—but still, the carpenters had left and the dust had settled over a month ago. Mom had just sounded the dinner call and I was on my way downstairs. I took a wrong turn on the second floor and found myself in a room wallpapered with clouds and bunnies. I realized I'd turned right instead of left, so I promptly made the same mistake again and blundered into the closet. By the time I got downstairs Jenny and Dad were already there and Mom was giving me the Look. I knew trying to explain would sound lame, so I just clammed up and dug in to my mac and cheese. But you see the problem. I don't have what my aunt Maude used to call a "bump of direction." If anything, I've got a hollow where the bump should be.
