Cora spends her time in north carolina reading in the attic. her
reading material includes a bible and almanacs, which "cora
adored for containing the entire world” (183). how does the act
of reading, and of literacy, cora be free? what might the
significance of what she reads suggest about her growing
understanding of the world? think, too, about how the bible and
religion are used by ethel and ridgeway to justify slavery: "if god
had not meant for africans to be enslaved, they wouldn't be in
chains" (195), and about cora's observation: "slavery is a sin
when whites were put to the yoke, but not the african" (182).

i have heard the mermaids singing, each to each.

i do not think they will sing to me

in the spreadsheet, click on a cell, then type the numbers or text you want and press enter or tab. to write data to a new line within a cell, press alt + enter. to enter the same data in several cells at the same time you must select the cells in which you want to enter the same data, in the active cell write the data and press ctrl + enter.

not sure but i think it’s the snug nest

i’m writing a memoir and i’ve been given the great suggestion of placing a ‘sub-narrative’ within some of the chapters – sort of, what was going on with me in the grand scheme of things.

i was wondering how to format this so that it is very obvious we are stepping out the of story.

firstly is a change in font from serif to sans workable? i also use dashes for a scene change. was thinking of using a different scene-changer too.

here’s a (shortened) example:

university – or what’s known as ‘uni’ in australia – were some of the best days of my life. where else do you get to potter around in a great location, have very little responsibility, learn lots of things, do lots of things and walk out four years later with a bonus – a degree!

with my university years i had immersed myself into community of intelligent ambitious people. generally everyone had a confidence about themselves. they knew where they were going in life and weren’t threatened by others.

(sorry couldn’t show the fonts in this comment field)

too much?
