As a Third World writer, Head is committed to social justice, exposition of suffering and dehumanization resulting from ethnic prejudice and superstition. In delineating the experiences of women as women, she explores their most personal convictions thereby presenting their perception of issues as women. This is seen in the presentation of the female characters as strong willed, determined, assertive, independent and enterprising.

Through speeches, interviews, and articles for Life magazine, Ray Bradbury spent the 1960s as one of the most enthusiastic public proponents of space exploration in general and the Apollo program in particular. To him, the race to the moon meant nothing less than a necessary step in the evolution of the human race. It was a tribute to a longtime supporter of their dream and their mission. During the mission astronauts David Scott and James Irwin honored Ray Bradbury by naming an impact crater Dandelion Crater, after the author’s classic 1957 novel Dandelion Wine. ![]() On Jthe Apollo 15 mission lifted off from Kennedy Space Center with a mission to explore Earth’s moon.įour days later, on JLunar Module landed on lunar surface. ![]() ![]() With his usual style of humor-deadpan, wry, and often self-deprecating-this memoir very much reads like a product of what he is: a clever man with a lot of stories, who’s used to doing stand-up. It’s lucky for us that he carried through with that plan, because he is a great writer (as one might expect, considering his career path) who went and wrote a great book. I believe that a large part of that is how much he obviously cares about this project-in the introduction, he tells us that he’s wanted to write a book for the majority of his life. In fact, I think that that’s a pretty common result-Tik Tok stars with music, actors with books, musicians with acting. It’s not uncommon for celebrities to try to branch out into another creative field and have it not go so well. For the last six of those, he’s been a head writer and the host for the Weekend Update section, alongside comedian Michael Che. ![]() ![]() Jost, who many know from “Saturday Night Live,” has worked at “SNL” for 15 years.

For 91 days, she and seven other women huddled silently together in the cramped bathroom of a local pastor while hundreds of machete-wielding killers hunted for them. Incredibly, Immaculee survived the slaughter. Immaculee’s family was brutally murdered during a killing spree that lasted three months and claimed the lives of nearly a million Rwandans. ![]() But in 1994 her idyllic world was ripped apart as Rwanda descended into a bloody genocide.
