With Arden’s help, he begins training as a competitive fencer, setting his sights on taking down the fencing team captain, no matter what. Terrified, searching for a place where he belongs, Donte joins a local youth center and meets former Olympic fencer Arden Jones.

This little book is simply a beautifully illustrated poem. The way I order these is only recommended, but I do think it will help any reader better understand what is going on in the more complex book later on. These books are solely focused on the stories that take place in (and around) Middle-Earth, not so much the history of how Tolkien wrote them. Within Tolkien’s Middle-Earth legendarium, there are also two categories: one I’ll call the story-focused books, and the other the academic books. In this article, I’ll only focus on the first kind. The major division is this: Books set in or around Middle-Earth and those that aren’t. It’s up to every reader to decide how deep into Tolkien’s work they’d like to dive. ![]() ![]() Where to start, and where to go from there, is what I’ll try to help with. Tangentially, an aspiring Tolkien-reader may just be unsure where to start. I suggest that it is two things: like ancient sailors afraid to sail through the Pillars of Hercules to the great Atlantic beyond, readers of Tolkien who wish to continue may be daunted by the sheer quantity of books to read. ![]() ![]() ![]() However, while Western parents may think they are strict with their children, Chua asserts that they are nowhere close to Asian parents and their high demands. Entertainments of various sorts can weaken a child and therefore lead to disobedience. Thus, according to the Tiger Mom, the only way to foster a sense of success in a child is through a series of withholdings. For example, aside from not being allowed to watch TV or be in a school play, Chua’s daughter is not allowed to “get any grade less than an A” (Chua 1). Therefore, in order to achieve an excellent performance, the author deprives her daughter of some freedoms and entertainment. Asian parents create certain limitations for children and certain standards which will lead to the desired outcome. Though many parents who come from different cultures are awed by the ability of Asians to make their children young whizzes with many talents, Chua believes it can be achieved through various deprivations. At the beginning of an excerpt, Battle hymn of the tiger mother, Amy Chua sheds light on the overall image of a typical Asian parent. ![]() ![]() ![]() It did so because the authorities applied the wrong medicine to what was a very sick economy. Over the next 18 months between January 1930 and July 1932 the bottom fell out of the world economy. The stock market is down 50 to 60 percent, profits are down 50 percent, unemployment is up from 4.5% to over 8%. If you take our present situation, 16 months into the current recession, we're about at the same place. The stock market was down about 60%, profits had fallen in half and unemployed had climbed from 4% to about 10%. In December 1930, the great economist Maynard Keynes published an article in which he described the world as living in “the shadows of one of the greatest economic catastrophes in modern history.” The world was then 18 months into what would become the Great Depression.
