Thornhill

Product Information

Tiene un final bastante sorprendente y de esos que erizan los vellos de todo el cuerpo mientras te das cuenta de todo lo que ha sucedido casi sin darte cuenta. Pienso que es un libro que me hubiera gustado más en mi adolescencia básicamente por el vocabulario y estilo narrativo (está encarado a un público joven) pero no me han impedido disfrutarlo. Stanford, Craig B. (2000). "Darwinians Look at Rape, Sex and War". American Scientist. 88 (4). –via EBSCO's Academic Search Complete (subscription required) Nicolson considered the book and the responses to it part of a necessary debate. [45] Wilson et al. argued that Thornhill and Palmer inappropriately used the term "naturalistic fallacy" to stifle "meaningful discussion of the ethical issues surrounding the subject of rape", including the implications of the ideas advanced in A Natural History of Rape. Nevertheless, while expressing disagreement with the details of Thornhill and Palmer's views, they granted that Thornhill and Palmer might be correct that rape is an evolved adaptation. [46]

This is no horror in the classic sense of the word. Its true horror lies not within the paranormal or gothic elements of it, but in the experiences of the main characters, in the world they were born in, in the reverberations of everything they do to each other and to themselves, in the glaring implacability of an all too familiar vicious cycle. Mary is a young girl in the 1980s who resides in a girls’ home called Thornhill. Her story is very dark; she is lonely with only the puppets she crafts for company. No family seems interested in adopting her. She is also being tormented and bullied, by a small group but there is one girl who is particularly cruel to her. Mary refers to her as she, with disdain. I like the noise of being surrounded by a group. It’s as though there are little stories whizzing around—dreams of pop groups and boyfriends, gossip about eyeliner and shoes and teachers. I don’t have to join in, but still I feel part of their gang—on the edges looking in, watching, listening, but happy to be included.”Pearcey, Nancy R. (2000). " 'Ain't Nothin' but Mammals' ".

It is a feeling I haven’t had for months. When she left to be fostered last time, I could breathe again. I felt as though I had been holding my breath for years. The other girls weren’t exactly friendly after she left, but it’s just that they left me alone. They don’t speak to me because they don’t get a reply, so mostly they act as though I am not there. Invisible. That can feel lonely, but I am used to that. Loneliness is nothing compared to the crush of fear I have when she is here at Thornhill. Melby, Todd (2000). "Is rape a sexual act?".
