It was published in 1979 and it brought the author worldwide success.

She had a knack for acting and left university to fulfil her desires. A product of “two very remarkable parents”, Hepburn’s childhood saw her engaging in athletic activities which were not very usual for ladies in those times. Her spiritedness arose from the liberal atmosphere she grew up in. Hepburn channelled her relentless energy and indomitable spirit to gift cinema with some exceptional characters which made her the star that she is. Haughty and deserving, she never attended any of the award shows and barely made contact with the press which led them to call her names. Instead, she was well-aware of her talents and gained complete control over herself. She was resented by many due to her non-conformist attitude but she never gave in to the demands of the inherently patriarchal film industry and did not settle to be the sweet, demure heroine. Her unique features complemented her bizarre personality. ![]() ![]() ![]() I also write shorter books for foreign students of English.

Additionally, the novel endows the debate about interdisciplinary knowledge with a new light by ‘treeing’ its narrative in both its narratological form and thematic content. ![]() As our analysis shows, the novel reflects on the impact and value of interdisciplinary knowledge by presenting a narrative that traces the production and reception of a interdisciplinary work. ![]() This tendency establishes a boundary between art and science and excludes literature from the realm of a ‘problem-solving’ practicality (Clark 190). This essay reads Powers’ novel against the tendency within our society to value literature only on the basis of individual artistic accomplishments. This essay argues that Richard Powers’ The Overstory is an example of how literature, as a narrative that is both reflective and focused on representation, contributes to current circulating debates surrounding the valorisation, productivity and practicality of interdisciplinary knowledge. ![]() ![]() ![]() We are always looking at the things around us in relation to others. Most people don’t know what they want unless they see it in context. ![]() Rather, we focus on the relative advantage of one thing over another, and estimate value accordingly. We don’t have an internal value meter that tells us how much things are worth. Humans rarely choose things in absolute terms. Relativity helps us make decisions in life, but it can also make us miserable because of jealousy and envy of what others have. Our happiness is not affected by what we have, but rather what we don't have, and what we don't have is so easily imaginable. But in absolute terms, 75.000$ should actually make you feel happier. If you earn 65.000$ and your colleagues earn 40.000$ you are happier than if you were earning 75.000$ and your colleagues were earning 100.000$. But the value in itself it's actually the same. If we compare something in one context it might seem “ more, bigger, better”, if we compare it in another it might seem “ less, smaller, cheaper”. We are pawns in a game whose forces we largely fail to comprehend.įor example, our brain is wired to assess the value of things by comparing them to others. We all make the same types of mistakes over and over, because of the basic wiring of our brains. Our irrational behaviors are neither random nor senseless-they are systematic and predictable. ![]() ![]() ![]() His uncle on his mother’s side, a man named Markham, is after her fortune and his late nephew’s estate so, in order to get what he wants he manages to put her into Bedlam and leaves the infant son of hers in the nursery, almost forgotten.
