1000 tulosta hakusanalla Polly Phillips
Polly spent most days sitting alone, sadly looking at her reflection in the mirror. Countless lonely hours were spent trying to figure out why all the squirrels in the forest refused to accept her. In the mirror, she saw long curly eyelashes with huge eyes. Her fur was soft and silky with unusual highlights. It varied in color depending on how the sun beamed on it. The fur underneath her belly was as white as snow. Her tail was long, full, and bushy. As she continued to observe her reflection in the mirror, she became painfully aware of the striking differences between her and all the other squirrels. Just like all the other squirrels in the forest her mother had the same small black eyes, dull gray fur, and semi-short less bushy tail. Even her mother was baffled by her unusual features.Polly's plight will illustrate to you how children today will take any characteristic or any physical differences and find fault to make fun, taunt, tease, and sometimes brutally attack you. This can be the cause of low self-esteem, fearfulness, and sadness all because someone dislikes you because you are different. I remember growing up in a community where my peers taunted me about the tone of my skin. Unfortunately, rejection, snubbing, teasing, and taunting still exists in the form of bullying and it's even more prevalent today.As you read Polly's story you will see how one little squirrel gained respect and friendship from her peers through her selflessness, bravery, and courage. Her peers will learn a valuable lesson in pre-judging as it pertains to someone because of their nationality, physical appearance, race, or ethnicity.

Early on a wartime winter’s morning in 1941, the 8,000-ton cargo ship SS Politician ran aground in the beautiful but treacherous seas of Scotland's Outer Hebrides. Among its cargo were 260,000 bottles of whisky destined for the American market – a godsend to the local Eriskay islanders whose home-grown supply had dried up due to wartime rationing. News quickly spread and boats came from as far as Lewis, and before local excise officer Charles McColl could intervene, more than 24,000 bottles had been 'rescued'. Villages were raided as bottles of whisky were hidden in the most ingenious ways – or simply drunk to get rid of the evidence. Meanwhile, official salvage operations foundered, and in order to pre-vent what the islanders themselves regarded as legitimate salvage, the hull of the Politician was dynamited. The story is well known through Compton Mackenzie’s bestselling book Whisky Galore and the famous 1949 Ealing comedy of the same name. In this book, acclaimed journalist and Hebridean expert Roger Hutchinson tells the true story of one of the most bizarre events ever to have happened in Scottish waters.
The book is about a young girl who wonders away from her home without realizing it, she becomes lost and is on her journey back to her home and family. She is encountered by many adventures and people she meets along her journey.

Kun halu kaipaa herättelyä, rakkauden ammattilainen auttaa. Leskirouva Polly Fergusonilla on pakkomielle, ja sen nimi on lordi Kilmore. Harmi vain, että lordin ainoa intohimo ovat ilmapumput. Lontoo 1733. Nuori ja neuvokas Polly ei suostu jäämään toiseksi tieteellisille kokeille, vaan päättää tehdä lordi Kilmoren mustasukkaiseksi. Niinpä hän hankkii kavaljeerikseen Tomin, rattopojan suoraan bordellista. Myös Tom kiinnostuu lordista, mutta eri syistä kuin seuralaisensa: Lontoon kujilta on alkanut löytyä mystisesti kuolleita ilotyttöjä. Kun lordi Kilmore sitten kutsuu parivaljakon viettämään joulua linnassaan Irlannissa, aikooko hän esitellä heille pelkästään uutta tyhjiökojettaan? Terhi Tarkiainen (s. 1977) raikastaa historiallisen romaanin genreä tuomalla siihen ilottelevaa leikillisyyttä, mustaa huumoria ja ronskia romantiikkaa. Polly, eli kuinka paine laukaistaan on hänen kahdeksas romaaninsa.
