Look up cross the Rubicon in Wiktionary, the free dictionary. The modern Rubicon river (dark blue), believed to be the same river crossed by Caesar Crossing the River: Seven Stories That Saved My Life" is a sort of memoir in the form of a collection of essays. If you are looking for something hopeful and uplifting, this is not the memoir for you. If you are looking for something heavy and oppressive, this is the memoir for you. And is that because, in a way, it's almost like a survival guide. Carol Smith lays out the tools she discovered amidst all the pain and grief, the tools that helped her get from one day to the next. Badian 1990, p.30. "The civil war did not begin with Caesar's crossing of the Rubicon. By the time he reached the river, Q. Hortensius had already occupied Ariminum".

That’s the basic outline, but there are tons of variations and different ways to present the game (different equipment, blindfolds, add obstacles to the river, create mines with bowling pins, change the scenario or add more restrictions).The final section is told through the eyes of Joyce, a white Englishwoman who falls in love with Travis, who is the "brother" of Nash and Martha. Since Travis' story occurs during World War II (about a century after his supposed brother Nash's), it can be assumed that Travis is a sort of reincarnation of Nash and Martha's brother from more than a century before. In that case, it can be implied that the ancestor narrator is not the children's true father; rather he is some sort of all-knowing ancestor who has "listened" to his "children" for the last "two hundred and fifty years" (p.1).

Finally, Christopher succumbs to his illness. This devastates Carol. She could not accept his death, more so because she was not present at his side when he died. It is devastating to lose a son so young, though medically compromised. Grief overtook her, medically termed Persistent Complex Bereavement Syndrome.

These are the times that try men's souls; the summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of his country; but he that stands it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. This book is genuine, raw, gripping, and emotional. I feel if you are struggling to deal with something very heavy, that this book can help. To me the main theme of this book is, by connecting with other humans, seeing and understanding their struggles, and creating a sense of community, unity, love, and forgiveness, it makes life less hard to deal with. In a war council on December 27, Washington learned that all of the British and Hessian forces had withdrawn as far north as Princeton, something Cadwalader had learned when his militia company crossed the river that morning. In his letter, Cadwalader proposed that the British could be driven entirely from the area, magnifying the victory. After much debate, the council decided on action and planned a third crossing for December 29. On December 28 it snowed, but the weather cleared that night, although its remained bitter cold.

TfL Press Release – TfL and its partners commence further feasibility work on extending DLR into Thamesmead to support new homes and growth". tfl-newsroom.prgloo.com. Transport for London . Retrieved 21 December 2020.It's well written and interesting, but it felt strange to go from a journalistic style of storytelling to her deep thoughts and feelings and how she linked those stories to her own grief. I felt that in some parts I couldn't see the connection between what she was reporting on and her own story, and that those links felt forced at times. But then I realised that we all do this: someone else is talking and we have thoughts about some experience we've had and how similar it is to what they're saying (even if to others there's no resemblance/link at all). After that, my mind relaxed and I enjoyed reading the stories. In 1970, the Vietnam Veterans Against the War invoked the crossing when they marched from Morristown to Valley Forge performing guerilla theatre, doing press conferences and passing out flyers in a three day event called Operation RAW.
