I was sitting in the dark of my friend's basement, which was full of old records and re-arranged furniture. She had several cassettes (discs) of an all white boy band and after awhile one of us decided to type out a lyric to the song Perfect Day on our typewriter. I loved it immediately. The lyrics were perfect. It was the first time I had ever heard an all white boy band that seemed to sing something about love and just, perfect love. The song in the book, Perfect Day, from the record, would become my second favorite Boy Band song of all time. It was short, quick, and was so sweet. One of my favorite books at the time, Beethoven's Last Journey by Heather Ann Hasson, came out when I was about 15. I was fascinated by the life of Beethoven and how he died at the age of 70. His last struggle was in England, so my friends and I drove up to Germany where they had both his grave and his house still intact. I hadn't read that book before or seen the documentary about the famous music legend, so reading Beloved was a treat. Beloved is the first book of a trilogy by Nobel Prize author, Toni Morrison, and by a long shot the most controversial. The book was written in 1976, about the same time Morrison was awarded the award. The premise is that there is an evil in the world who has vowed to destroy the white race, not by war, but by bringing slave-like conditions to this land. She calls him God and explains to the reader that he is her savior, who is calling humanity to return to slavery. Morrison ends with a large cast of characters in a Negro woman’s house with her talking about her life, and her long, slow journey to Hell. The book is narrated as an African American’s memories of her life in the antebellum south when she lived with her parents and Category:Web pages/* This is a compiled file, to make changes persist, consider editing under the templates directory */ .pace { -webkit-pointer-events: none; pointer-events: none; -webkit-user-select: none; -moz-user-select: none; user-select: none; } .pace.pace-activity { display: block; position: fixed; z-index: 2000; top: 0; right: 0; width: 300px; height: 300px; background: #7c60e0; -webkit-transition: -webkit-transform 0.3s; transition: transform 0.3s; -webkit-transform: translateX(100%) translateY(-100%) rotate(45deg); transform: translateX(100%) translateY(-100%) rotate(45deg); pointer-events: none; } .pace.pace-active.pace-activity { -webkit-transform: translateX(50%) translateY(-50%) rotate(45deg); transform: translateX(50%) translateY(-50%) rotate(45deg); } .pace.pace-activity::before, .pace.pace-activity::after { -moz-box-sizing: border-box; box-sizing: border-box; position: absolute; bottom: 30px; left: 50%; display: block; border: 5px solid #7c60e0; border-radius: 50%; content: ''; } .pace.pace-activity::before { margin-left: -40px; width: 80px; height: 80px; border-right-color: rgba(7, 60, 80, 0.5); border-left-color: rgba(7, 60, 80, 0.5); -webkit-animation: pace-theme-corner-indicator-spin 2s linear 1cb139a0ed
