How Wolves Change Rivers. "Similes and Metaphors" by The Bazillions. Youngest-ever winner of Wordsworth poetry prize. A nine year old pupil at Ambleside Primary School is the youngest ever winner of the Rydal Mount Wordsworth prize for young poets.
Rowan Ashworth took the title when his poem, Wild is a child, was judged the best from almost 200 entries from all over Cumbria. The fifth annual award, judged by descendants of the poet William Wordsworth, carried an extra cash prize this year of £100. Rowan also collected a trophy, and his poem will be displayed in the drawing room at Rydal Mount where Wordsworth created much of his epic work. The poet’s great great great great grandson, Christopher Wordsworth, who was one of the judges, presented the awards at a special ceremony at Rydal Mount near Ambleside. He said: “My family was so encouraged by the growing number of schools and entries coming in for this competition, which is now in its fifth year. Category winners were Harriet Rush (11 and under) from Windermere School, and Connor O’Hara, 15, who is home schooled.
Parts of an Argument Essay. How to Write an Argumentative Essay by Shmoop. 10 Fun Jobs You Wish You Had. The Science That Made Frankenstein. (Inside Science) -- It has all the makings of a great monster story: an attempt to draw lightning from the sky, a scientist passionate to show that electricity held the secret of life, body parts and, of course, reanimation of the dead.
The science that inspired Mary Shelley to write "Frankenstein" is nearly as strange as the novel itself. Written in 1818, the book was influenced by a scientific feud that ushered in the first battery and our modern understanding of electricity. The story begins in the mid-18th century.

A sad story, briefly told: A poem by Simon Armitage. Psychoanalytic clinicians are no strangers to incomplete narratives: to stories assembled from the bits and pieces of our patients’ unreliable and unsystematic reports about their lives.
We take what we can get, gather the details, and together with the patient, construct a more coherent and, hopefully, a more liberating narrative. We know we never have the whole picture—we’re always connecting the dots, making constellations from only the most visible stars. Poets study a version of the same problem: how much do you need to know to know the story, how much will you have to say to tell it? Often, because in poetry brevity is its own pleasure, the question becomes, how little can you say? Here’s a wonderful lesson in concision from a contemporary British poet who I suspect will be little known to most readers of DIVISION/Review, Simon Armitage.

Book Review: 'The Outsiders' By S.E. Hinton. Ally Carter is the author of the Gallagher Girls series and Heist Society.
Teenage girls read in packs. It's true today, and it was true when I was a teen growing up in a small town in northeast Oklahoma. Battered paperback copies swept through our ranks like wildfire, but the one I will never forget is The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton. One by one, each of my friends became obsessed with the story of a group of boys from the wrong side of the tracks in Tulsa, a city that was just 60 miles away but might as well have been on the other side of the world from the rural Oklahoma that we knew so well.
Of course, now I know that The Outsiders is an American classic, that millions of teens have been devouring it for decades, but at the time it felt like we had discovered it — that it was our book.

This is from Carol Ann Duffy’s 1985 collection, Standing Female Nude.
