Not to worry, however: the government appears to have found $240 million for a new stadium in Hobart, one demanded by the AFL but which many Tasmanians don’t seem to want. Independent MP Zoe Daniel has joined calls for a review into student loans, amid warnings graduates are trapped in a debt spiral, while the Greens are demanding a rent freeze in exchange for their support for Labor’s housing fund – a demand that looks unlikely to be met. Advocates are also disappointed by reports that Labor plans to restore the single-parent payment only until children reach 12, arguing the age must be raised back up to 16 (the government has refused to be drawn on its plans).

Markus Zusak got the inspiration for The Book Thief from the stories that his parents told him when he was a little boy. The story follows her life and struggles and also shows us how she meets her friends- Rudy and Max, the jew that was hidden in the basement of her foster parent’s home. Then she started stealing books so she could have more to read. She learned the power inherent in words and she desired more. Liesel was just coming of age in the book and through her foster father learned how to read. He tells this story in The Book Thief through the eyes of the orphan girl, Liesel Meminger. Markus Zusak wrote about the horrors, wickedness, and suffering that were inherent in Germany during the Nazi era and especially during the second world war following the events of the Holocaust.

Reinvention and Marie Antoinette go together like cake and frosting. What these complaints overlook is that, throughout history, one thing has always remained true of Marie Antoinette: With her glittering rise and shattering fall, her ambiguous political allegiances and unmistakable personal style, the queen has proven multifaceted enough to accommodate most any interpretation, any ideology, any cultural bias. Like the Cannes audiences who blasted Kirsten Dunst as the vapid, pampered party queen in Sofia Coppola's "Marie Antoinette," my interviewer seemed indignant that an American-born author of a book on the same historical figure would dare lay claim to this quintessentially French icon. 'Why," the French journalist wanted to know, "do you Americans insist on taking what is France's and making it yours?" Ghostly narratives carry lessons for us, too, even if we’re not in imminent danger. This is true both for the characters within a story and for us, the audience of readers or viewers. The mistake only becomes apparent once it’s too late. It is, of course, a common trope in ghost tales and horror films: We know the outlines of the story, we tell it to spook our friends, but we haven’t really listened. The young people-actors, all, though it didn’t seem that way at first-discount their interviews with locals (“Do you remember something that Mary Brown said the other day?” one of them asks her companions, before muttering to herself, “Fuck, I wasn’t listening to her because I thought she was a lunatic.”), only to find themselves the witch’s next victims. Take the horror film The Blair Witch Project, the 1999 cult blockbuster by Daniel Myrick and Eduardo Sánchez that purports to tell the true story of three filmmakers who disappeared while working on a documentary about the legend of the Blair Witch, a ghost that haunts the forests near Burkittsville, Maryland. That, at least, is the message of many a ghost story. Sometimes we don’t pay close enough attention to the stories we’re given. “Dignity is for knights,” he scoffed under his breath. The well was narrow enough that he could jam himself between two opposing sides, scuttling upward and hurting his back and his neck and his dignity most of all. He braced his arms and legs for a long climb. He would worry about that later for now he had to get out and see if their great gamble had paid off. Trying to keep everyone together in a time portal with completely different laws of physics had drained him. “Nothing a little magic won’t fix.” But when Merlin went to dig some up, he was near empty. The walls had been hacked in a pattern that spoke of plans and intentions and humanity. “No? Just me?” He splashed around, finding rough stone, and high above, a hole punch of blue sky. He had rocketed through the time portal, an endless skydive without parameters or parachutes, before it dumped him in this flooded, cramped circle of stone. The chaos of waves left him torn between gasps and muttered curses. Merlin crash-landed in the past with a great, undignified belly flop. |
