Project 863: The REDACTED

Product Information

The character of Michael is a very complex one and slowly, with each revelation, the reader gets to see just how shaky his mental stability is under the buttoned-up surface of a forthright headmaster. If you enjoyed Consent, YOU and American Psycho, you’ll enjoy getting under the skin and into the mind of Michael as he tries to focus and openly justify his growing rage. As is seen in the USS Liberty report, paper documents are usually sanitized by covering the classified and sensitive portions before photocopying the document.

Dahl’s publisher, Puffin, hired sensitivity readers to rewrite substantial parts of the author’s text to make sure the books “can continue to be enjoyed by all today”; however, it will also continue to print the original editions. As a central room exploring portraiture and narrative attests, Pollard is a captivating photographer, but there are many layers of enquiry going on beyond the surface seduction. This is not easy art – it doesn’t come with a neat punchline. I think even for the artist, associations shift with every turn of the compost heap.Reading the original words can be very uncomfortable but they help us understand regressive politics and the dangerous legacy of British colonialism with a modern eye. Denying Fleming’s stories all the details of their historical contexts can be perceived as whitewashing the past – worse, an Orwellian falsification that reeks of historical denialism. The imperialist attitudes the books depict are not only evidence of British thought at a moment in time, but also a window to better interrogate the past’s sins and to embrace modern conversations rather than ignore them through redaction. I was honestly so excited about this book based upon the premise because it sounded really interesting, but honestly I found myself quite disappointed with this book. I just really struggled to enjoy the book, and the main character is such an awful person that I could not connect to him in anyway. A terrorist bombing on the London Underground kills scores of people, one casualty being the wife of Michael, headteacher of an inner-city comprehensive boy’s school. Michael is devastated, he loved his wife, idolised her. But Michael does not sink into a pit of despair, though he is certainly depressed and has more than his fair share of bad days. Neither does he channel his energies into charity work or campaigning, as some might do. Instead, Michael’s mind turns to revenge. It is not the terrorists or their masterminds who are the focus of his ire however, but rather the British Prime Minister whose policies Michael feels provoked the terrorist outrage. Hypothesis: The curse works by driving the kin into a rage due to the application of extreme pain. Removal of higher brain functions should alleviate the curse. The book is laid out in the form of diary entries which Micheal has been tasked to record by his therapist Angela as a way to get down his thought’s and try to deal with his grief over the loss of his wife. I have to admit, because of this start, stop, slightly all over the place way of recording his memories, it did take me a little while to get into the rhythm and flow of this story. At one point I almost put this aside as a DNF. However, the premise of the book really did intrigue me so I persisted on as I was still really intrigued where it was going.

There’s a scene in the satirical 2005 film Thank You For Smoking in which butt-of-the-joke US senator Ortolan Finistirre, played by William H. Macy, is desperately trying to replace all depictions of smoking in classic films by removing the cigarettes and replacing them with candy canes and other ludicrous objects. I wish you would // disappear / is what you say / when you stay / silent” is Baer’s riposte. Perhaps erasure poetry is always inherently a political act, perhaps it is always inherently a violent act Jennifer S Cheng

Hypothesis: If the link is anima based, then it is reasonable to assume that it should be possible to overload it with an extreme application of anima. So we are delivered a story of the average man in the street, suffering intolerable mental torture as a result of a terrorist atrocity touching his family and friends. At the end of 2005, the NSA released a report giving recommendations on how to safely sanitize a Microsoft Word document. [6] Printed documents which contain classified or sensitive information frequently contain a great deal of information which is less sensitive. There may be a need to release the less sensitive portions to uncleared personnel. The printed document will consequently be sanitized to obscure or remove the sensitive information. Maps have also been redacted for the same reason, with highly sensitive areas covered with a slip of white paper. The James Bond books are antiquated but there is an argument to be made that the writing needs to be appreciated within its context and seen as a reflection of past values.
