Racing to the Finish: My Story

Product Information

In this episode, C-3PO claims that another droid graduated from the same "production facility" as he had. This may be a continuity issue, as in Star Wars: Episode I The Phantom Menace it is revealed that C-3PO was built by Anakin Skywalker, although this contradiction could be explained by the fact that his memory was set to be erased at the end of Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith. On the tenth lap, Fett's speeder attempts to trap the White Witch with a tractor beam but R2-D2 hurls the detonator at Fett's speeder. Thall Joben wins the race with the White Witch. Fett is forced to eject from his craft before it explodes, destroying the vehicle and his droid. The announcer and Thall's friends congratulate Thall. C-3PO is also jubilant. Kea also thanks R2-D2. I found it funny that in a place where we were supposed to be educated was the place I saw the most ignorance. The irony.”

Torn between a race-at-all-costs culture and the fear that something was terribly wrong, Earnhardt tried to pretend that everything was fine, but the private notes about his escalating symptoms that he kept on his phone reveal a vicious cycle: suffering injuries on Sunday, struggling through the week, then recovering in time to race again the following weekend. For the first time, he shares these notes and fully reveals the physical and emotional struggles he faced as he fought to close out his career on his own terms.We have here the makings of a riveting plot, but the execution leaves something to be desired. It is partly the age of the writer that is likely to be responsible for the degree of telling versus showing on display. The character development is also somewhat uneven, with the female MC not just taking centre stage, but almost taking up the entire stage, at the expense of other characters. I was initially drawn to this book by the cover. It’s so striking and it tells you exactly what this book is about. Sie ist sich in ihrer Identität und ihrer Religion so sicher und lässt sich von niemandem was einreden. After finishing this book, I was so overwhelmed with so many different emotions. I was not prepared to leave Aaleyah's world.

I know you shouldn't judge a book by its cover but WOW, look at that cover! Aside from the fact that it features a dark-skinned hijabi, have you ever seen anything more intriguing than this image of a Muslim girl squaring up to a KKK member?Die Bindung zwischen ihr und ihrer Familie fand ich auch mega schön. Ihre Eltern, beide erfolgreich in ihren Feldern, unterstützen sie von Anfang bis Ende und versuchen ihr immer schöne Lehren mitzugeben.
