Kai (5 KP) rated The Fractured Life of Jimmy Dice in Books

Nov 29, 2017

I really enjoyed this book in the end. It was not easy to read, or a happy story, however it was really well done and I applaud ghetto author for tackling such difficult topics. <br/><br/>cn for anyone who does pick this up, multiple discussions of death (adult and child), sexual assault and rape, and suicide. As I said, not always an easy read.

BeRad89 (48 KP) rated Thirteen Reasons Why: (TV Tie-in) in Books

Mar 23, 2018

A sad story. You never know how your actions effect other people. Could you be the reason or part of the reason someone decides to take their life. Clay founds out he is one of the Thirteen Reasons Why Hannah Baker commits suicide. In some way she was over reacting, but every little things adds up. How much weight is a teenage girl suppose to handle?

"Dawkins explains how the selfish gene can also be a subtle gene. The world of the selfish gene revolves around savage competition, ruthless exploitation, and deceit, and yet, Dawkins argues, acts of apparent altruism do exist in nature. Bees, for example, will commit suicide when they sting to protect the hive, and birds will risk their lives to warn the flock of an approaching hawk."

Dying of Whiteness: How the Politics of Racial Resentment Is Killing America's Heartland

Book Favorite

"Malcolm X began by adoring whiteness, grew to hate white people and, ultimately, despised the false concept of white superiority — a killer of people of color. And not only them: low- and middle-income white people too, as Metzl’s timely book shows, with its look at Trump-era policies that have unraveled the Affordable Care Act and contributed to rising gun suicide rates and lowered life expectancies."

Watched on Amazon prime I liked this film directed stared and written by Karen Gillan making a movie that's a far cry from both doctor who and marvel movies for a first time director Karen has done great job tackling a tough subject of depression and suicide and no one else could play the main other than Karen so definitely a rewatch
