I am at the end of that call, having watched the ceremony from my office in Geneva. I know just when to call because in the room, feeding me live updates, is our friend, the Nigerian writer Molara Wood. It is on Molara’s phone that I speak to Chimamanda, who laughs as she says, “You got here ahead of my father, he is usually the first to call.” Short stories, novels, unpublished prose manuscripts, poetry or work you wish to have adapted into a script. Next, we took our Autumn ideas and turned them into different types of figurative language. These were then used in our stories. Most women my age have done a lot of painful and transformative inner work through therapy, body work or spirituality. We really know who we are and what we want. Most men I meet haven’t done that work. I’m talking about men in their 40s, 50s and 60s flopping around like 15-year-old boys. We then looked at the figurative language in the book. We looked for personification, similes, metaphors, alliteration and onomatopoeia. We also shared examples on the board together.

Any school within the Republic of Ireland can sign up and create their own online book to which pupils can add any form of fact or fiction writing. Just a few easy steps later and a sample book is delivered to the school, with the opportunity for children to see their work in print and for their parents and families to buy their own copies of this special book. We performed the poem as the two characters, the nymph and the goblin. To do this successfully, we had to be clear in the difference between the characters. From Kapuściński, we flow immediately to VS Naipaul, who presents us with major conflict, as we admire his prose and his clearsightedness but wince at the savage caricatures he makes of our people. I feel rather proud that I am the only one who has read Sir Vidia’s Shadow, Paul Theroux’s incredibly whiny memoir about Naipaul, and entertain the group with some of its excesses. Next, we looked at the two characters and how we would describe them. We chose pictures of what we thought the nymph and the goblin looked like and chose powerful adjectives and descriptive phrases. I’d booked myself a solo pampering weekend in a fancy hotel, as I do a few times a year. Luxurious countryside setting. Spa treatments. Lavish dinner for one at the restaurant. I’d just come out of a long-term relationship, which I ended, consciously choosing myself over a man who was full of empty promises. I thought of this weekend as going away on a date with myself.

The staff of Gintama made a parody of the Episode 1000 opening for a live event announcing the anime version of its spinoff light novel Class 3Z: Ginpachi-sensei. Series protagonist Sakata Gintoki plays Gol D. Roger, and recurring characters Prince Hata, Elizabeth and Hasegawa Taizou were also present during the execution scene. Charlotte Katakuri was also mentioned in one of the bounty posters made by the staff. [6]

This was the only opening theme that has sound effects. The Funimation version removes the sound effects due to the use of the instrumental version as the base of the English version. Cutting off resources to more than 2 million people, demanding families flee their homes in the north, indiscriminately bombing a trapped population – these are war crimes and indefensible actions. And yet the United States government is offering “moral” and material support for the dehumanization and murder of innocent Gazans. We write to publicly declare our opposition to what the Israeli government is doing with American assistance. We call on the US government to seek an immediate ceasefire and to use our resources towards providing aid ensuring the safe return of hostages and building a diplomatic path towards peace.

Wilfred Ndidi’s a man reborn in his new advanced role. With greater freedom, and maybe without the responsibility of protecting the defence, he has a smile on his face again and that is coming through in the way he plays. We then spent time researching our chosen topic for our end point, reports about Diwali. We worked in pairs to research Diwali.

If you’re writing poetry this National Poetry Day– and we hope you are – then raise the stakes and create your school’s very own poetry anthology. I’ve never been one for listing my goals or making five-year plans. Perhaps that’s why I haven’t yet mastered the piano or pitched a podcast, and rarely manage to turn my accounts in on time. What I do know is that, while I still long to acquire a garden and always intend to file my tax return the right side of midnight, marriage has never been an ambition, never mind a priority. Don’t believe me? A lineup of some of my exes may persuade you otherwise. The introduction is by the one and only Michael Rosen. That means if you make a We Are Writers book children will be published alongside a former Children’s Laureate! The opening concludes with two more shots of the smiling Straw Hats—Luffy, Nami and Zoro in the first, Usopp and Sanji in the second—and a rear shot of the Going Merry with a seagull flying past. Finally, the title screen shows.If you are in search of the best free writing courses that also give you some credentials to take home and show your grandmother, I’ve got you covered! And when you think of the generations of women for whom marriage was a desperate, non-negotiable necessity, there’s enduring pride to be found in independence, a heady joy in the ability to pursue pleasures and possibilities without consulting anyone else. The self-reliance that it confers, both emotionally and practically, is far from selfishness – in fact, chances are you’ll have more time and impetus to maintain friendships and see family if you’re not bound to just one other.

Photograph: Sophia Spring/The Guardian In the next bar, I thought I’d met The One again, until it came to him getting me a drink. He said he was skint, so I assumed he’d get me a beer or something, but after queueing for ages together he handed me a glass of tap water. It should have been funny, but it seemed as if he was trying to catch me out. The last guy was the worst; he seemed normal until, out of nowhere, he asked whether I “spit or swallow?”

During his appearance in this opening, Smoker's hair retained the manga color white, instead of the grey anime color.Despite mounting evidence that relationship status is not the determinant it was once preached to be when it comes to health and happiness, the marriage plot insistently shapes our ideas of how happily ever after should look. Uncoupled, we’re incomplete – or worse. Just take a look at some of the synonyms for “single”. Please note: All writing software will come with its own user guidelines.
