A guide to the art of personal writing, by the author of Fierce Attachments and The End of the Novel of Love
All narrative writing must pull from the raw material of life a tale that will shape experience, transform event, deliver a bit of wisdom. In a story or a novel the I who tells this tale can be, and often is, an unreliable narrator but in nonfiction the reader must always be persuaded that the narrator is speaking truth. How does one pull from one's own boring, agitated self the truth-speaker who will tell the story a personal narrative needs to tell? That is the question The Situation and the Story asks--and answers. Taking us on a reading tour of some of the best memoirs and essays of the past hundred years, Gornick traces the changing idea of self that has dominated the century, and demonstrates the enduring truth-speaker to be found in the work of writers as diverse as Edmund Gosse, Joan Didion, Oscar Wilde, James Baldwin, or Marguerite Duras. This book, which grew out of fifteen years teaching in MFA programs, is itself a model of the lucid inteligence that has made Gornick one of our most admired writers of ninfiction. In it, she teaches us to write by teaching us how to read: how to recognize truth when we hear it in the writing of others and in our own.Binding Type: Paperback

It’s a very cute case also really sturdy. Have had it for a while and even with my daughter being rough with it the case is in good condition and is very protective of the I pad even with no screen protector. It is easy to put on and is light weight.

This iPad case is perfect our kids and the color is so cute. We purchased 2 cases for both kids. The material sturdy yet lightweight. The built-in stand helps keep the iPad at a level for easier viewing and use. It also includes a convenient spot to store the Apple Pencil, making it easy to keep everything together. A great purchase for extra protection and peace of mind.

Perfect iPad Case for Kids — Survives Drops!
Color: Purple
I bought this case for my daughter’s iPad and she absolutely loves it. It was very easy to install and feels really durable. The built-in stand is her favorite feature — she uses it to prop the iPad up during her Hooked on Phonics lessons and when watching videos.
She also carries it with us in the car, and it has already survived a few drops onto concrete with no issues. The case does not include a screen protector, but I just added one separately and it works perfectly.
It is a bit bulkier than my own iPad case, but that actually makes it easier for little hands to hold and carry. Overall, great protection and very kid-friendly design. Definitely recommend for younger kids!

Pretty colors, child proof protector (so far)
Color: Purple
Using for our daughters IPAD which is her learning tablet. So far its been really good no issues with applying it and the colors are super cute. There is a slot for an pen if you have one and the stand functions wonderfully. Only time will tell how well it protects the tablet from tiny hands.
