Way Down East (1920)
Way Down East is a hundred-and-three-year-old masterpiece, starring the beautiful, virginal Lillian Gish as a young girl, Anne Moore, living with an elderly mother, who sent to her rich relatives "way down east"; where, like Mabel Normand's Mickey, or Unity as portrayed by Mary Pickford in Stella Maris, she is a "fish out of water." Her lack of graces and social caste is underscored by the narrative; which, oddly was a common plot device of the time. In Mickey, it is used for comic effects. In Stella Maris and Way Down East, the point is to emphasize the tragedy of the central character's situation. It is class-conscious, yet, condescends to the lower classes, as if they were simply fairy tale princesses cleaning out the ashes of the hearth, while their ugly step-sisters while the night away dancing. Once they meet "Mr. Right," a Prince Charming hailing from the "right" sort of stock, the right kind of people, they are allowed to cast off their rags, acquire beauty and social graces, and live "happily ever after" in a bourgeois dream of Victorian romance and staid, tried-and-true, conservative American values. That is not quite Stella Maris, but it seems the summation of Way Down East.
Going Crawdad Hunting
As I remember the late sunny afternoons on the hill where we lived when we were children, a chuckle pushed its way from deep within my soul and spilled over into my conscious mind. I had to laugh, almost uncontrollably, as I remembered one of many tales of discovery that my brothers and I lived through during that time of our lives. There were 6 houses spread spaciously apart along the dirt road cut into the mountainside. None of the houses would meet the standards of today's affluent more architecturally correct structures. The dirt road that led to the houses was only wide enough for one vehicle. And, when riding in our truck, the times that my dad could afford one, I and my brothers bobbed up and down like popcorn in a popcorn popper as we rode in the seat that didn't have seat belts. Seat belts weren't required, perhaps not even thought of at that time in the late 1950s.

It is a common saying that "haters gonna hate." While this phrase is often used in a lighthearted way to brush off criticism, it is important to remember that haters do exist and they can have a significant impact on our lives. Haters can come in many forms, whether it is a colleague at work who constantly belittles your efforts, a family member who is always negative, or an online troll who leaves hateful comments on your social media posts.

The outside world was unknown to her, but she could see a glimpse of it through the window in his room. She had spent her entire life in the small, cramped apartment, never venturing beyond the walls that confined her.

However, following a Spring Statement that drew nearly universal condemnation, the Chancellor of the Exchequer's fortunes were severely harmed.Unfortunately, it quickly became the least of his worries, as the latest revelation revealed that he breached the law by attending BJ's birthday celebration and appears to have lied to Parliament about it. This revelation comes on the heels of reports that Mrs Sunak, also known as Akshata Murty, made uncomfortable front-page headlines when someone (depending on which rumour you believe, either the Labour Party or the Prime Minister) released the fact that she was not a British citizen. In theory, this would appear to be unimportant if it weren't for the fact that Ms Murty used her position to save a reported £4 million in UK tax each year.
