Book Review: "Arguably" by Christopher Hitchens (Pt. 4)
The section entitled Offshore Accounts is one that (I have to say) is probably the least interesting as most of it concerns Hitchens' opinions of the East of which I have heard multiple iterations of in his speeches and other books. I will, nonetheless, try to find things within that I have enjoyed such as his critique and response regarding arguments put forward in Edward Said's magnum opus Orientalism. This is a book I frequented whilst studying my undergraduate degree and ultimately using it, I wrote an essay.

SpongeBob Review
"Artist Unknown" stands as a masterclass in SpongeBob SquarePants’ ability to blend creative frustration with classic slapstick humor, centering on a dynamic where Squidward Tentacles finally attempts to share his "artistic genius" as a teacher at the local recreation center. His ego is immediately bruised when his only student turns out to be SpongeBob, whose natural, effortless talent for sculpture creates an agonizing contrast to Squidward’s own mediocre sensibilities; despite SpongeBob crafting breathtaking, lifelike replicas of reality, Squidward’s bitter jealousy drives him to dismiss and devalue every single masterpiece, effectively crushing the sponge's cheerful spirit under the weight of undue harshness.

Spongebob Review
The SpongeBob SquarePants episode "Sailor Mouth" stands as a comedic masterpiece that perfectly captures the absurdity of social taboos through the innocent, yet misguided, eyes of its nautical inhabitants. It all begins when SpongeBob and Patrick stumble upon a mysterious word scrawled on a dumpster behind the Krusty Krab, an encounter that initiates a hilarious downward spiral. Patrick, in his sublime ignorance, convinces SpongeBob that this forbidden term is merely a "sentence enhancer" meant to make one sound sophisticated, leading the pair to casually sprinkle the profanity into their daily conversations with disastrous results.

Tess of the D'Urbervilles by Thomas Hardy
Tess of the D'Urbervilles was first published in 1891 and still stands today as one of the most depressing books ever written. It generated quite a bit of controversy back in the day and yet, the author was already established in the literary world - so you can imagine the kind of extra notoriety it got him. It was a novel that critiqued Victorian morals to an extreme degree, presenting people with the horrors of purity culture and the way in can destroy an entire life and society.

SpongeBob Review
In the infamously divisive SpongeBob SquarePants episode "I’m with Stupid," the narrative centers on Starfish Day, a celebratory occasion marred by the arrival of Patrick Star’s parents. Anxious to appear intellectually superior in their eyes, Patrick hatches a preposterous scheme and begs SpongeBob to deliberately act like a simpleton. SpongeBob, ever the loyal and selfless friend, reluctantly agrees to compromise his own intelligence, unaware of the profound emotional and social toll this charade will eventually take on his reputation.

The Gardener of Middle-earth: Why Samwise Gamgee is the Actual Hero of The Lord of the Rings
If you ask a casual fan who the hero of The Lord of the Rings is, they’ll likely point to Frodo Baggins, the burdened martyr, or Aragorn, the king returning to his throne. They might even suggest Gandalf, the celestial puppet master. But if you look closely at the mechanics of Tolkien’s epic—and if you listen to what J.R.R. Tolkien himself said in his letters—there is only one “chief hero.”

The 2026 film Michael, directed by Antoine Fuqua and starring Jaafar Jackson in the lead role, arrives with enormous expectations—and an equally enormous debate surrounding its artistic choices, narrative limits, and commercial success.
