It says much that for a story about a young boy, The Ocean at the End of the Lane is possibly Gaiman’s least playful work to date. The most appropriate comparisons perhaps, are to Patrick Ness’ deeply sad A Monster Calls, or those Ghibli films of Hayao Miyazaki that knit interactions with unexplained worlds and creatures around the perimeters of a childhood home. For a novel about ageless, world-stitching neighbours, alien realms, and spirits both malevolent and pitiable, that’s no small achievement.Īt a little over two-hundred pages, it’s amongst Gaiman’s shorter novels, and half the size of his expansive American Gods. Gaiman’s cultural touchstones – Smash! comics, Blackjack sweets, ITV’s How – may fit a sixties childhood, but so much about the narrator’s perspective and experiences cleaves to the common terrors and rare comforts of being a kid, it becomes almost universal.

Şüphesiz bu derme çatma okulun ilk öğretmeni de kendisi olacaktır. İdeallerine olan inancı onu köyünün yüzlerce yıllık ataerkil geleneklerine başkaldırmaya iterken köyün çocukları için bir okul inşa etmeye koyulur. Savaş sırasında aldığı sınırlı eğitim, idealist bir Kırgız genci olan Düyşen’de köklü değişimlere neden olmuştur. Ancak adanmış bir ruhun önünde ne durabilir? Bu ilk kıvılcımlar zamanla desteklenip paylaşıldıkça koca bir toplumu değiştirir ve dönüştürür kuşkusuz. Önceleri yalnızca birkaç kişinin hatta kimi zaman sadece tek bir bireyin peşine düştüğü bu hayaller, statükonun direnciyle yüzleşecektir elbette. Asırlarca basit tarım ve hayvancılıkla hayatını sürdüren göçebe Kırgız halkı, Çarlık Rusyası’nın yıkılmasının ardından yepyeni bir dünyanın hayaline ortak olur. Then I sobbed when it was over, because I missed this world so much. I cried happy, light tears while reading this entire thing. Both so pure, so worthy of love, so perfect. “She had to content herself with stolen glimpses through cracked doors, slender one-inch views of duvet and sheets piled like thunderheads, Adam and sometimes Ronan pillowed among them.”Īnd my soft boy and my hard boy. Opal’s mind is a wonderful place to be, and it truly made the story that much more special. I literally was laughing out loud so many times turning this. Opal is the little dream creature that Ronan made, and she is so adorable. Opal is a short story under forty pages where we are able to see the events that are happening after The Raven King, but through Opal’s eyes. “…and something about when Ronan made him laugh so hard that he couldn’t stop made her love him so hard that she felt sad because one day he would get old and die because that was what things with animalness did.” I loved animal days and I loved dream days. And Opal is such an amazing protagonist to see the world through. You all, I can’t even begin to put into words how good it felt to be back in this world. “She loved him the best when he was very sad or very serious or very happy.

Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recommends that adults eat less than 2,300 milligrams of sodium a day. The only difference is that some varieties may have other beneficial minerals, notes Zumpano. And no matter what kind of table salt you add to your food at home - iodized salt, sea salt, kosher salt or Himalayan pink salt - it’s all the same when it comes to the amount of sodium it contains. It’s in many foods that Americans frequently eat. Signs of too little sodium include:īut for most people, getting enough sodium isn’t a concern. Going below that leads to low blood pressure and electrolyte imbalances in your blood. You need a minimum of 1,500 milligrams of sodium a day, says Zumpano. In small amounts, it helps your nerves and muscles function properly and balances fluid in your body. Sodium is what can negatively affect your health if you consume too much.īut your body also needs sodium to survive. Salt is composed of two minerals - about 40% sodium and 60% chloride. Here’s the deal: Salt and sodium aren’t the same things. Salt isn’t unhealthy unless you eat too much of it. She explains how salt impacts your body and the ways you can scale back without sacrificing flavor. “Everyone should be aware of how much salt they’re eating and how it affects them,” says registered dietitian Julia Zumpano, RD, LD.
