![]() ![]() The bold words on both books stand out for a reason. I definitely believed in Stacey Woods character. Once I started reading each book I couldn't stop, it kinds of has that effect on you. I found that each short book was an absolute page turner and extremely easy to get into. This fully grown man made my blood boil with his smirks in court. I was glad that Stacey Woods went through with taking the man to court who raped her. Stacey has a lot to deal with school work, exams a part time job and deciding where to go to university, she also has to prepare herself for her trail. I felt really sorry for Stacey as she has a lot of commitments. With book 2 No Shame, Stacey has been brave and reported this vile man to the police. You must read it as its so well written with characters that you can really believe in. This fully grown man got under my skin in the way he went about how he raped innocent seventeen year old Stacey. ![]() In the flat the boys brother who is a grown man rapes Stacey. ![]() In the first book No Virgin Stacey meets a boy and with only knowing him for a few hours agrees to stay in a flat that he knows about. I was first introduced to Anne Cassidy after reading No Virgin. ![]()

Throughout the poem, Milton employs a wide range of metaphors and symbols to illustrate and explore the complex themes and ideas at the heart of the work. One of the key elements of Milton’s grand style is his use of extended metaphor and symbol. It is also used to convey the sense of authority and certainty that Milton brings to his subject matter, as he presents his views on the nature of God, the fall of man, and the nature of evil. This grand style is used to great effect in the poem, adding a sense of dignity and grandeur to the narrative. The language of Paradise Lost is highly formal and ornate, with long and complex sentences that are filled with Latinate words and phrases. Milton’s grand style is characterized by its use of elevated language, complex syntax, and elaborate poetic devices. 11 Conclusion Elements of Milton’s Grand Style ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() But the digital copies i have in my collection are all in color and would love to grab the paperback reprints in color as well.ĭo you have any news whether they will reprint them in color or not?
