![]() Jafar does give her a chance to escape and she fails but throughout all of this and their first sexual encounter we know that Jasmine has a safe word she can use to make Jafar stop and she doesn’t use it as she wants this just as much as Jafar does but she is also aware that she has traded one prison for another.

The Dream of a Common Language explores the contours of a woman’s heart and mind in language for everybodylanguage whose plainness, laughter, questions and nobility everyone can respond to. In 2006, Rich was awarded the Medal for Distinguished Contribution to American Letters by the National Book Foundation. Her prose includes the essay collections On Lies, Secrets, and Silence Blood, Bread, and Poetry an influential essay, “Compulsory Heterosexuality and Lesbian Existence,” and the nonfiction book Of Woman Born, which examines the institution of motherhood as a socio-historic construct. Rich’s other volumes of poetry include The Dream of a Common Language, A Wild Patience Has Taken Me This Far, An Atlas of the Difficult World, The School Among the Ruins, and Telephone Ringing in the Labyrinth. That volume, published in 1973, is considered her masterwork. Her constellation of honors includes a National Book Award for poetry for Tonight, No Poetry Will Serve, a MacArthur Foundation “genius” grant in 1994, and a National Book Award for poetry in 1974 for Diving Into the Wreck. She wrote two dozen volumes of poetry and more than a half-dozen of prose. Widely read, widely anthologized, widely interviewed, and widely taught, Adrienne Rich (1929–2012) was for decades among the most influential writers of the feminist movement and one of the best-known American public intellectuals. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() She includes examples of how this new way to read the streets has already made its way around the world, from pocket parks in Mexico City and Los Angeles to more pedestrian-friendly streets in Auckland and Buenos Aires, and innovative bike-lane designs and plazas in Austin, Indianapolis, and San Francisco. Achieving such a radical overhaul wasn't easy, and Streetfight pulls back the curtain on the battles Sadik-Khan won to make her approach work. Real-life experience confirmed that if you know how to read the street, you can make it function better by not totally reconstructing it but by reallocating the space that's already there.īreaking the street into its component parts, Streetfight demonstrates how to rewrite the underlying "source code" of a street, with pointers on how to add protected bike paths, improve crosswalk space, and provide visual cues to reduce speeding. An inspiring read for anyone interested in improving cycling and the urban landscape, this book should be required reading for anyone working in government. Her approach was dramatic and effective: Simply painting a part of the street to make it into a plaza or bus lane not only made the street safer, but it also lessened congestion and increased foot traffic, which improved the bottom line of businesses. ![]() As New York City's transportation commissioner, Janette Sadik-Khan managed the seemingly impossible and transformed the streets of one of the world's greatest, toughest cities into dynamic spaces safe for pedestrians and bikers. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The process of adapting Mandela’s autobiography to a movie script lasted sixteen years and was conducted by screenwriter William Nicholson. The movie, directed by Justin Chadwick, is an adaptation of the 500 page autobiography and, hence, attempts to represent several decades in two and a half hours. ![]() In 2013, however, the movie Mandela: long walk to freedom was released, just as the real Mandela was about to die. But they focused on specific periods of Mandela’s life and no attempt had yet been made to represent his entire life. Since the publishing of Mandela’s autobiography in 1994, many films have portrayed the South African leader, such as Goodbye, Bafana (August 2007) and Invictus (Eastwood 2009).
