I find it hard to believe there are no comments. Anyone who has ever read one of his novels recognizes the sheer brilliance of this writer. I purchased Palace council in 2017 and must have read it b/c I wrote a comment in the book. I just don’t remember the story, which is common for me (I’m old) . So I’ve started reading it again. Maybe I’ll read the Emperor of Ocean Park again or New England White as well. I barely remember the story after all these yrs. Thing is, I keep books unless it’s a slow read and boring, but generally I keep books and sometimes read them more than once. At any rate I enjoy reading anything Stephen Carter writes. Looking forward to finding “Invisible” a non fiction book about his own famous grandmother. Can’t wait to read it.

Can amusic people perceive rhythm? If the music in question was very simple, say someone clapping in time, could they appreciate that? Also, I wonder what they make of very slow music such as that performed by the band Sunn O))).

I hsve never heard about this as a condition people could be born with. I love music so much that i love to listen to some nice one to forget my worties and it relaxes my mind. I know a few who can not understand why and how people listen to music and it is not pleasant to their ears!

Can still make and enjoy rhythm in percussion or simply clapping hands tapping feet.. 😊

Auto tune for amusia🎉

I love music above all things. I think it's the most beautiful thing a human being can do on the face of the Earth. However, due to what I believe is a form of amusia, I have had to give it up. I'm 47 years old and I started playing the guitar when I was 15. I learned to play the guitar, I learned everything I could about music theory... but I was never able to sing in tune. I tried everything, I went to teachers, specialists, I watched all the vocal coach videos on the internet, I dedicated years of my life to trying to improve my pitch when singing. It does not worth for anything. When I thought a song was in tune, people told me it wasn't. When I thought a song was out of tune, people liked it. That caused me enormous frustration. On one occasion I tried to tune a song I sang with autotune, just to hear myself well. Just once. The notes sounded better out of pitch to me than in the correct pitch. The correct note was a G and it sounded better to me in F sharp. I discovered that people with musical knowledge, and with a certain skill, are incapable of transmitting knowledge to people like me. I searched and searched for years for solutions, nothing worked. Nothing. Music specialists don't know how to help people like me because they don't understand hearing blockage. If their exercises don't work, they don't know what else to advise. I finally gave up. I sold my guitars and stopped listening to music just to avoid falling into the trap of dreaming again. For me it was not a hobby, nor a profession, but a way of trying to express myself... but I feel that God denied me the possibility of doing it that way. He, in his infinite wisdom, will know why, but for me the idea of ​​music is deeply connected with a bitterness, very deep.

I love the book and what really stuck with me about it was experiencing the beauty in even run down surroundings, and having a passion for life

I just ordered the book!!

Adolescence is much more than trying to fit in and loneliness. However, some adolescents feel that way on the inside while outside, rebellious and disgraceful. The world is common in a male-dominated society, but its a better place if teenage girls remembered they have so much inside of them and don't have to express themselves as snappy anymore. Young women no longer fall into the hands of the famous men they love (damsels in distress). With this book being written, it will help us understand how to fit in with the world, not the people around you.

Publish what you love. That's awesome! Since writers write what they love to, why shouldn't publishers publish what they love? That way the two will be on the same page. I like this guy. I'm jealous of him and Mr. Brockmeier. The works they put out are lyrical and haunting. Goes to show you what happens when talented people do what they love.

He kept it fair

She has been a BLESSING to the world. I feel so lucky to have discovered her work.

Who is here for school 2023!!! 🎉

Did you ever see a bird that hears music? 🤔😉

So glad to hear this condition exists and has a name. AMUSIC! About the 'sad' discussion': It is sad in my experience. I can somewhat enjoy hearing music but I cannot make music in the sense of executing music. That means I cannot remember melodies at all, I can not sing, not dance and not experience Rhythm. I can move somehow - it is even fun - but I wouldn't know what the clue is and I cannot dance 'with' someone. I even tried learning an instrument and gave up after some time. I think the music teacher gave uü beforehand ;) All my life I felt very much excluded when musical enjoyment was around. It is the art you can most easily practice 'with' each other. I really miss this sense of enjoying an activity together that everyone seems to have.

I fucking hated reading this book in middle school

How can I contact this women? Sandra Cisnero, my daughter wrote a paper about you. You must read it!! She is in her senior at a university in Arkanas.

I hope I can write a book one day.

This is for school

fnf reference

Wow I actually finished all of the vignettes from the story I did it at my school

No

I just read "Never Marry a Mexican" in my college short story class. Thanks to this crazy senora, who seriously needs to get laid, I never will marry a Mexican.

I love Sandra Cisneros' writing and how her characters are relatable. The vignettes makes reading easier for my students. They see short stories and immediately think "this is easy and won't take too long." LOL

I found a small, tattered paperback copy of The House on Mango Street in a mental health/detox center I was admitted to a few years ago. I needed to cope with the trauma I held inside my spirit by reading something...anything distracting. This book will always have my heart buried inside its pages.

THIS IS GOOD

I had a friend named Sandra. Un buen encuentro. A great thank you to Sandra Cisneros.

te quiero mucho santamarina

My condolences to those who are "forced" to watch this and don't comprehend how realistically beautiful Cisneros' writing is. How her stories can help you reflect on your own life whilst at the same time allow you to learn something new. I've read countless of her stories and everytime I find myself feeling for the character and find a little of myself within those characters as well. Her stories are always a pleasure, they bring beauty and realism which is something we all need. I hope the ones who enjoy her stories are able to learn something from them and relate them to their own life.

the story the book me encanto, and inspired me to tell my story and write

I have no idea why Dr Oliver Sacks has been criticised for using his patients. He's one of my heroes. Who made neurology accessible to the layman. RIP good Doctor

See, here's something that bothers me about what she's saying about teen pregnancy; she has said in a documentary that she doesn't like Selena, & one reason that she gave was that Selena dresses promiscuously. But Selena used to go to high schools & even said in an interview on a TX TV station that the best way to avoid an unwanted pregnancy is not to have sex. It's ironic because it seems the two ladies are almost saying the same thing, only Selena's message is more conservative & Cisneros has accused her of being promiscuous through her dress.
