Past Lives: A melting candle of love.
Unrequited love is one of the most enduring and compelling concepts in films. It's a theme that has been dealt with in numerous films, with each presenting its own distinct perspective on the sorrow, desire, and beauty of unfulfilled love. One of the most fascinating characteristics of unrequited love is its capacity to elicit a strong sensation of "What if?" What if things had gone differently? What if feelings were expressed? What if the timing had been correct? All of these questions were gracefully portrayed in Past Lives (2023)---an Oscar nominated film directed by Celine Song.

Butterflies
Here is a page of butterflies that I colored with crayons. I also thought if there were any preschool or kindergarten teachers this would make a good worksheet. The teacher could have the students circle all the blue butterflies, put a square around the red butterflies and a triangle around the orange butterflies when they know their shapes. That is only one idea for there are other skills that early teachers could use this for maybe an image for a science nature walk. Please comment.

The 5th Horseman
Here is another great read from James Patterson and Maxine Paetro entitled 'The 5th Horseman. This is a detective mystery novel about a homicide detective by the name of Lindsey Boxer, a detective lieutenant and her best friend Yuki Castellano and a few other friends and co-workers. There are two cases that seem to be intertwined one dealing with malpractice and one with aspects like an angel of death. There are two phrases in this story that will make you think 'A bad wind blows' and when someone says, 'I plead the fifth on the grounds that it may incriminate me.' James Patterson and Maxine Paetro have written a novel that is many chapters, but are very short that makes this a fast read that one would like to savor but cannot wait to see how it ends.
