It is difficult to come up with a different concept in the Fantasy Genre since masters like Tolkien have covered almost all the important plot elements. Exceptions on this rule are authors like Ursula K. Le Guin who has focused on the human elements, Robert Jordan who built elaborate worlds and George R.R.Martin who combined elements of medieval earth kingdoms with strong fantasy elements. Sanderson does this successfully as well, when he creates a world where Allomancers use metals to perform extraordinary feats. Vin is a Mistborn who combines all of the talents of Allomancers but is not aware of her powers. Being part of a group of thieves, she is trying to survive in this harsh world of Nobles and skaa (poor common people). She will be a key element in the rebel against the immortal Lord Ruler. Good plot, novel fantasy elements. Surely a good opener to the Mistborn series.
FİNALLY
I think I can say it’s one of the rare English books I finished in one sitting. While listening and reading, I knew many things were waiting for me, but not all of them. Some things shocked me, and with some, I found myself saying, "How is this possible?" Is everyone living a completely different life behind the camera? Is no one aware of what others are going through? But it ended well, didn’t it? The bad ones were punished, and the good ones, despite the harm they suffered, managed to survive. This was like a very realistic fairy tale, with the only bad part being that everything was real. One of the beautiful aspects of the book was how easy it was to read, and while listening, feeling like Shari, becoming her, I thought many times, "How could she endure all this?" Because after living through these things, writing about them as well... I hope more people, especially children in similar situations, are saved from such circumstances. And throughout the book, I think the part I loved most was the dedication.
"To anybody who has been silenced, gaslit, abused, or lonely.
You are stronger than you know.
May earthly and heavenly angels lift you up."
And as Shari said, "Finally, it ends here."
“Kötü bir anıyı unutmanın en iyi yolu güzel bir tanesiyle değişmektir.”
Taking The “Home” To The Road

Undoubtedly, J.R.R. Tolkien bequeathed a masterpiece to the entire literary world; The Lord of the Rings trilogy. The Fellowship of the Ring is the first book of the Lord of the Rings trilogy, which begins in an inland area in the northwest of Middle Earth that has fallen into oblivion; The Shire. This is the home of the Hobbits who live in peace and tranquility. The Hobbits, are largely sheltered from the goings-on in the rest of Middle-earth. Although they have been living on their own for centuries and cannot tolerate "strange" events, things do not always turn out as expected. One day, the peaceful and quiet life of some Hobbits in the Shire has to change and it is the time to hit the road. The difficulties encountered throughout the journey, the longing that the characters experience from time to time, and the safe warmth of being in The Shire, establish a duality throughout the entire story. Ultimately an unexpected journey begins. And the reader’s adventure too…
With the sudden disappearance of Bilbo Baggins just after his 111th birthday, rumors continued for long days. For the Shire folk, whose own paradise was again their own home, to disappear as Bilbo did, is an unacceptable event. So, in this way, the reader feels the sense of being at home through the Shire at the very beginning of the book. Thereby, The Hobbits' love for their home is emphasized by their unwillingness to leave. But the real breaking point in the story begins when Frodo takes over the ring and becomes aware of the dangers. This also marks the beginning of the journey. Frodo's initial hesitation to embark on the journey reflects the Hobbits' strong affection for their home and unwillingness to leave the comfort of their familiar surroundings. When looking at the words of Frodo, “I should
Being aware!
Nevrotik bir Gezegenden Notlar kitabının yazarı Matt Haig ile Gece Yarısı Kütüphanesi ile tanıştım. O kitapla beni hayal dünyasına çok iyi bir şekilde çekmişti ve bu kitabında o tat da olacağını düşünmüştüm. Ancak bu eserinde roman yazmak yerine kendi deneyim be tecrübelerinden yola çıkarak depresyondan ve anksiyetesinden nasıl uzaklaştığını, uzaklaşmak için neler yaptığını ve hala yapmaya devam ettiğini çok tatlı bir dille anlatıyor. Ben kitabı orijinal dilinde okumayı tercih ettim ancak eminim ki çevirisi de en az kaynak dildeki kadar akıcıdır. Yazar aslında kitapta bildiklerimizden farklı bir şey söylemiyor ya da bambaşka bir yol göstermiyor ancak olan yolu kendi deneyim ve tecrübeleri ile harmanlayarak bunlar bende işe yaradı siz bunu deneyimleyin diyor. Kitap boyunca okuduğum çoğu satırda sevdiklerimi görürken kendimden de bazı parçalar görmem sanırım beni bu kadar çok çekti kitaba. Bize bazı şeyler hoş gözüksün diye eğip bükmek yerine pat pat söylemeyi tercih etmiş olması belki de beni cezbetti bilemiyorum. Size de şiddetle tavsiye ederim. Çok güzel bir kitaptı bir çırpıda bitecek bir kitap. Doğruyu söylemem gerekirse bu kitap bitmesin diye elimden geldiğince okumayı uzattım ama önünde sonunda bitti :) Son olarak bu kitaptan önce Reasons to Stay Alive (Yaşama Tutunmak İçin Nedenler, sanırım çevirisi böyleydi) kitabını okuyup bu kitabı okumanız iyi olur. Ben yanlışlıkla ilk bu kitabı okudum. Çok büyük bir kayıp değil ancak önce diğer kitap yazılmış bunu da söylemek istedim. Umarım sizler de okuyup beğenirsiniz. Şimdiden iyi okumalar.
PROPOSAL FOR A NEW ATTITUDE TOWARD THE TECHNOLOGY
The book doesn’t answer how to integrate technology into society rather than problematises the attitude of mentality “techne” that causes humanitarian actualisation upon nature through using “techne o logic” embodiment, human-being exist indirectly,provocates separation, to let society be aware of their philosophical disruption based on natural thoughts to overcome it.
But how the economy is being overwhelmed by needs and encountered with “technology” and yet be adapted and created by causality; society would be able to heal themselves, too, to be aware of the fear that upon the nature of technology lies on domination, evolving; thinking of being pure order, the mechanistic vision that gives rise to the desire to rule under Darwinian thoughts. I mean there is no such thing as “be brought forth of the true into the beautiful” because the evolutional periods themself create beauty from themselves like technology in different purposes phenomenons, needs...
The book answers. When we move our perception through one of the wholeness concepts, organic wholenesses and imperfection, that are supported throughout chapters, from the pure order vision. It works with technology, the economy and society as well. Technology with its domains and subsystems behave like languages that have one huge grammar but if the visional paradigm changes, poems are created. It just looks like a way to integrate society and technology could be actualised by allowing people to live with the natural aspect of technology being transparent rather than indirectly solid. So, we would be able to trust rather than hope in technology beyond the nature of things. So, there are very many ways to sense but the more materialistic, biological and spiritualistic way is architecture embodied by the nature of
Uncle Tom's Cabin
Puan vermedi
Tom Uncle’s Cabin was written in 1850 by Harriet Beecher Stowe and was published in 1852. This book articulates nineteenth-century America's shameful attitude to slavery, the horrors of slavery, its contradictions to human nature, its moral and religious fallacy.
The author tackles slavery as a problem for whites and prioritizes the suffering and hardship suffered from blacks. The author reflects slaves, especially Uncle Tom, as moral, gentle, and faithful people.
In the nineteenth century of America, slavery, just because the whites wanted it, separated the mother from her offspring, the child from her mother, the wives from each other, and more than that, snatched away from the hearts the of faith. White people oppressed, despised and tortured the black people without being aware that black people were human-like white people, without being aware that they had feelings and thoughts like them, without being aware that their lives were lives. So much so that even black people don’t think they are the same!
Uncle Tom's kindness, his devotion to the owner, made the owner love him. However, he was forced to sell him and a child slave to cover his debts. After Uncle Tom changed two owners after him, he was flogged and killed for helping two Negroes to be freed. The son of the first owner found Uncle Tom, as he had previously promised Aunt Chloe (Uncle Tom's wife), but was able to retrieve his dead body. Kneeled on the grave of his poor friend and said these sentences;
“Witness eternal God! Oh witness, that from this hour, I will do what one man can to drive out this curse of slavery from my land.”
From these sentences, we can understand that thanks to Uncle Tom the other slaves will break out of in the book.
“Return, ye ransomed sinners, home.”
“One thing more,”
