![]() ![]() ![]() I chose this example because it demonstrates, perhaps better than an example in ordinary prose, the problem of trying to find "the same node" in two different networks which are, on some level of analysis, extremely nonisomorphic. Would their symbol networks be similar on a local level, or on a global level? Or is it meaningful to ask such a question? The question becomes concrete when you look at the preceding translations of Lewis Carroll's famous "Jabberwocky". ![]() Imagine native speakers of English, French, and German, all of whom have excellent command of their respective native languages, and all of whom enjoy wordplay in their own language.

Brief Summary of Book: When a Scot Ties the Knot (Castles Ever After, #3) by Tessa Dare ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Rowling's sister Dianne was born at their home when Rowling was 23 months old. ![]() Her mother's paternal grandfather, Louis Volant, was awarded the Croix de Guerre for exceptional bravery in defending the village of Courcelles-le-Comte during the First World War. Her mother's maternal grandfather, Dugald Campbell, was born in Lamlash on the Isle of Arran. Her parents first met on a train departing from King's Cross Station bound for Arbroath in 1964. Her mother Anne was half-French and half-Scottish. Rowling was born to Anne Rowling (née Volant) and Peter James Rowling, a Rolls-Royce aircraft engineer, on 31 July 1965 in Yate, Gloucestershire, England, 10 miles (16 km) northeast of Bristol. NOTE: There is more than one author with this name on Goodreads. Rowling, the author of the Harry Potter series and The Casual Vacancy, a novel for adults. ![]() ![]() ![]() As with the previous books in the trilogy, since the novel is set in the not too distant future, the novel could also serve as a springboard for students to develop their own "utopian" worlds with consideration to economics, government, education, transportation etc. ![]() Calliope's character grew on me as did Avery's over the course of this book, and I was eager to see what would happen to my old favorites like Watt, Rylin, and Leda.Ĭlassroom application: This series is appropriate for high school students due to mature content (sex, drug and alcohol use). ![]() When the book begins, many of the characters have become distant from one another for a variety of reasons, but a renewed investigation into Eris's death and their shared guilt over the knowledge of what really happened that night on top of the tower bring them all back together. ![]() But thank goodness for those twists because I'm a sucker for a happy ending. While the narrators changed slightly from book 1 to book 2, they remained the same from book 2 to book 3, and while this time I was certain I knew whose death would come at the end of the book (and I guessed correctly!), there were still twists at the end that I didn't see coming. Like The Thousandth Floorand The Dazzling Heights, The Towering Sky has multiple narrators and begins with its ending. Why I liked it: I was so excited to finish the Thousandth Floor trilogy and The Towering Skydid not disappoint. ![]() ![]() ![]() "The book lingers long after turning the final page.
