What are the odds of that?! Anyway, Audrina is the apple of her weird father’s eye, and he manifests his love by having Audrina sit in a rocking chair in Audrina #1’s bedroom all day because that’s what fathers do. So, what is it about? Well, I’m so glad you asked because I want to dive into this, in detail, and I promise you, I have not made any of this up.Īudrina Adare is your typical 7-year-old, if your typical 7-year-old was named after her dead older sister, who went into the woods one day and never returned because she was raped and murdered. Not to mention multiple homicides that take place by pushing people down the same set of stairs.įriends, I f*cking love this bonkers, bananas, beautiful mess of a book. A recurring, warped tea party where two sisters put on their Sunday best, drink, trade insults, and pretend to be a dead aunt, communicating beyond the grave via a photograph. A villain with an evil heart and brittle bones. Sure, we dove into the incest, arsenic-laced world of Flowers in the Attic previously, but in my mind, nothing is as bonkers, over the top, “did she really just write that?!” than Andrews’ smutty, trashy, wonderful classic My Sweet Audrina. We’re rounding out our month of books we read as kids (but probably shouldn’t have) with the granddaddy of them all: My Sweet Audrina.

The Jeremiad is a form of early American sermon that narratively moved audiences from recognizing the moral standard set in its past to a damning critique of current events to the need to embrace higher virtues. “It addresses issues that American culture has faced from the beginning of its existence and still faces today: discrimination, broken promises, and the need to believe that things will be better,” he said.ĭorsey said the speech is also notable for its use of several rhetorical traditions, namely the Jeremiad, metaphor-use and repetition. “He was not just speaking to African Americans, but to all Americans” ~ Leroy Dorseyĭorsey, associate dean for inclusive excellence and strategic initiatives in the College of Liberal Arts, said one of the reasons the speech stands above all of King’s other speeches – and nearly every other speech ever written – is because its themes are timeless. 6/23/2023 0 Comments Tiger lily andersonThe film's title was announced on January 7, 2020.
