This is a summarized presentation on Isabel Allende's The House of the Spirits wherein I uses a historical-biographical approach to analyze the novel. It would be better interpreted using a feminist approach, but then what i tried to cover is the relationship of the setting and the characters to Chile's history.

It is actually how would the readers response to the message of the writer. Without the writer making his work, there would not be readers. And out readers reading the writers' work, there would not be sense of having it. It is actually a vice-versa relationship where both should function according to their role.

ISABEL ALLENDE
born 1942
ne of the best known contempo
rary Latin American writers, the
Chilean novelist lsabel Allende brought
the tradition of magic realism to bear
on women's experience. Drawing on the
earlier experiments by Gabriel Garcia
Marquez and other writers of the Latin
Americun Boom, Allende has portrayed
women's spiritual lives in the context
of the political world of her childhood
and youth, adding a dimension to magic
realism while bringing her a wide inter
national audience.
Born in Peru, where her father was
a diplomat representing Chile, Allende
returned to Chile with her mother at the
age of three when her parents divorced.
She lived for much of her childhood with
her grandparents. Her mother's second
husband, also a diplomat, later took the
family to Bolivia and Beirut. As a young
woman, Allende became involved in
international affairs herself, working for
the Food and Agriculture Organization
of the United Nations, before beginning
a career in journalism. In 1973 her
father's cousin, Salvador Allende, the first
elected Socialist president of Chile, was
deposed in a coup led by General Augusto
Pinochet. Historians still debate whether
he killed himself or was assassinated by
Pinochet's forces. In the coup's after
math, Isabel Allende and her family left
Chile for Venezuela, where she contin
ued to work as a journalist. She has
said that the departure from Chile made
her a serious writer: "I don't think I would
be a writer if I had stayed in Chile. I
would be trapped in the chores, in the
family, in the person that people expected
me to be. f was not supposed to be in any
way a liberated person. I was a female
born in the '40s in a patriarchal family;
I was supposed to marry and make
everyone around me happy." Instead, she
chose a liberated, cosmopolitan lifestyle,
although she would marry and have two
children.
When she received news, in 1981,
that her ninety-nine-year-old grandfa
ther was dying, Allende began writing
him a long letter-which developed,
transformed, and expanded to become
her first novel, TJ.ie House of the Spirits
( 1982). This novel chronicles the expe
riences of a South American family
haunted by spirits and torn by political
events over several decades of the twen
tieth century. The subjects and style
drew comparisons to the magic realism
of Garcia Marquez, whom Allende
described as "the great writer of the
century." The novel was an interna
tional success, and Allende moved to
California, where she continues to live,
teaching at universities throughout the
United States. Her daughter died of a
rare illness, porphyria, in 1992, and
Allende wrote a moving personal mem
oir with her in mind, Paula (1994).
The story presented here, "And of Clay
Are We Created" (1989), belongs to a
stage of her career in which Allende
chose a more direct, less magic, realism.
The title refers to the proverb "we are all
made of the same clay," ...

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

4. [biography]
“It is very strange to write one’s
biography because it is just a list of
dates, events, and achievements. In
reality, the most important things
about my life happened in the secret
chambers of my heart and have no
place in a biography. My most
significant achievements are not my
books, but the love I share with a
few people—especially my family—
and the ways in which I have tried to
help others.
HOW SHE VIEWS IT!
5. When I was young, I
often felt desperate: so
much pain in the world
and so little I could do to
alleviate it!
But now I look back at
my life and feel satisfied
because few days went
by without me at least
trying to make a
difference.”
13. [synopsis]
Isabel Allende is a Chilean journalist and
author born on August 2, 1942, in Lima,
Peru.
Her best-known works, which include
the novels The House of the
Spirits and City of the Beasts, are
written in the style of magic realism,
which uses fantasy and myth to override
time and place.
14. [biography]
She is the niece and goddaughter
of Salvador Allende, the former
president of Chile. She started
her writing career as a journalist.
15. [biography– cont…]
In 1945, after Tomás had disappeared, Isabel's
mother relocated with her three (3) children to
Santiago, Chile, where they lived until 1953.
Between 1953 and 1958, Allende's mother
married Ramón Huidobro and moved often.
Huidobro was a diplomat appointed to Bolivia and
Beirut. In Bolivia, Allende attended an American
private school; and in Beirut, Lebanon she
attended an English private school. The family
returned to Chile in 1958. Allende was also briefly
home-schooled. In her youth, she read widely,
particularly the works of William Shakespeare.
16. [biography – cont…]
From 1959 to 1965, Allende worked with the United
Nations' Food and Agriculture Organization in
Santiago, Chile, then in Brussels, Belgium, and
elsewhere in Europe.
For a brief while in Chile, she also had a job
translating romance novels from English to Spanish.
However, she was fired for making unauthorized
changes to the dialogue of the heroines to make
them sound more intelligent as well as altering
the Cinderella endings to let the heroines find more
independence and do good in the world.
17. [biography– cont…]
Allende and Frías' daughter Paula was born in 1963.
In 1966, Allende again returned to Chile and her son Nicolás was
born there that year.
Reportedly, "the CIA-backed military coup in September 1973
(that brought Augusto Pinochet to power) changed everything"
for Allende because "her name meant she was caught up in
finding safe passage for those on the wanted lists" (helping until
her mother and stepfather, a diplomat in Argentina, narrowly
escaped assassination).
When she herself was added to the list and began receiving death
threats, she fled to Venezuela, where she stayed for 13 years.
In Venezuela she was a columnist for El Nacional, a main
newspaper.
In 1978, she began a temporary separation from Miguel Frías.
She lived in Spain for two months, then returned to her marriage.
18. [biography– cont…]
During a visit to California in 1988, Allende met her second husband,
attorney Willie Gordon. In 1994, she was awarded the Gabriela
Mistral Order of Merit, the first woman to receive this honor.
Allende currently lives in San Rafael, California.
Most of her family lives near her, with her son living "with his second
wife and her grandchildren just down the hill; her son and his family
live in the house she and her second husband, San Francisco lawyer
and novelist
William Gordon, vacated."
In 2006, she was one of the eight flag bearers at the Opening
Ceremony of the Winter Olympics in Turin, Italy.
In 2008, Allende received the honorary degree Doctor of Humane
Letters from San Francisco State University for her "distinguished
contributions as a literary artist and humanitarian."
19. [foundation]
Allende started the Isabel Allende
Foundation on 9 December 1996 to pay
homage to her daughter,
Paula Frías Allende who experienced a coma
after complications of the disease porphyria led
to her hospitalization.
Paula was 28 years old when she died in 1992.
The foundation is "dedicated to supporting
programs that promote and preserve the
fundamental rights of women and children to be
empowered and protected."
20. [notable awards]
In 2004, Allende
was inducted into the
American Academy of Arts
and Letters,
and in 2010,
she received Chile's
National Literature Prize.
21. [literary works]
Several months after her
uncle's assassination and the
overthrow of Chile's coalition
government in 1973, Allende
left Chile and found refuge in
Venezuela.
42. The Jackson women have
always had each other. As
strong as their bond is,
however, mother and
daughter are as different
as night and day. Indiana,
a beautiful holistic healer,
is a free-spirited
bohemian. Long divorced
from Amanda’s father,
she’s reluctant to settle
down with either of the
men who want her—Alan,
the wealthy scion of one of
San Francisco’s elite
families, and Ryan, an
enigmatic and scarred
former Navy SEAL.
43. While her mom looks for
the good in people,
Amanda—like her father,
the deputy chief of the
San Francisco Police
Department’s Homicide
Unit—is fascinated by the
dark side of humanity.
Brilliant and introverted,
the MIT-bound high
school senior is a
natural-born sleuth
addicted to crime novels
and Ripper, the online
mystery game she plays
with her beloved
grandfather and friends
around the world.
44. When a string of strange
murders occurs across
the city, Amanda plunges
into her own
investigation,
discovering, before the
police do, that the
deaths may be
connected. But the case
becomes all too personal
when Indiana suddenly
vanishes. Could her
mother’s disappearance
be linked to the serial
killer? Now, with her
mother’s life on the line,
the young detective must
solve the most complex
mystery she’s ever faced
before it’s too late.
