Editorial : From School Library Journal PreSchool-Grade 3–Sophie is a homely toad, while her brother is so cute that he has won numerous modeling trophies. She is sad and croons about her feelings in such a beautiful voice that she is soon welcomed into a singing group. One night, she performs a solo in a competition and wins her very own trophy.

This time around though, true to my word, I reverted back to my normal self, championing my employees, worked tirelessly to increase business and trying to implement the changes they were complaining about that would streamline their efficiency and make their job easier. She runs into dog first. Simplistically speaking, “people move along opportunity gradients, from places of less opportunity (or greater danger) to places with more opportunity or less danger.” These shifts sometimes cause what are now called “brain drains,” leaving some countries sans those who can assist the general population. Looking back on this exposition as my introduction to (feminist) poststructuralism, and having now struggled through numerous other variously impenetrable or elucidatory texts on
