Identical twins, Patricia and Isabel O'Sullivan, begin their secondary school education on a sour note. They want to attend Ringmere— a kind of Roedean clone where their good friend Frances has been enrolled but Mr ... Mrs O'Sullivan are under the impression their daughters have acquired a certain amount of snobbishness from the last school they attended ( Redroofs) and have opted for St Clare's which they view as a Sensible establishment. The twins' decision regarding this outrageous deviation in their lives is that they will turn their noses up at anyone and everything and show the other girls that they are Somebodies— And Don't You Forget It!! After all they were head-girls at their old school and the decided opinion (Pat's admittedly) is that she and Isabel are good at nearly everything as well as being pretty and amusing. I find that statement pretty amusing because people who call themselves pretty and amusing are often ugly and boring. Fortunately for the O'Sullivan Twins, they are essentially success-driven which is a quality inherited, no doubt, from their Sensible parents. While twins at Auschwitz were granted the 'privileges' of keeping their own clothes and hair, they were also subjected to Mengele's sadistic medical experiments. They were forced to fight daily for their own survival and many died as a result of the experiments, or from the disease and hunger rife in the concentration camp. a b Misstear, Rachael (31 October 2011).

And what’s critical is that we empower our children to understand these time-tested principles so that they can recognize and reject the brainwashing they will be bombarded with in the world. A reimagining of Sophocles’ Antigone, this moving, elegant novel follows twins Aneeka and Parvaiz and their older sister Isma as they grapple in strikingly different ways with the tension between family loyalty and the laws of society. After Parvaiz joins Isis and is killed, Aneeka mounts a vigil in protest against the UK’s refusal to repatriate his body. In exploring complex questions of duty and identity, Shamsie delivers a novel that feels both timeless, and distinctly of its time. The Twins, also known as the Hutt Twins, [2] referred to a Hutt brother and sister who were crime lords during the New Republic Era. They were cousins of Tatooine crime lord Jabba Desilijic Tiure, and when Boba Fett usurped the throne of Tatooine from Bib Fortuna as the new Daimyo, the Twins traveled to Mos Espa and confronted Lord Fett, laying claim to Jabba's territory. They were carried on a litter through the streets of Mos Espa, and employed many servants, a drummer, as well as the gladiator and bounty hunter Krrsantan. [1] The twins either died from drugs, had seizures due to withdrawal, or entered into some unknowable suicide pact. Fellow doctors at the time proposed a kind of Columbo killer mystery method that involved injecting poisons into the body in places where you would never find it, like a hemorrhoid. "I will tell you something: any smart physician could dispose of himself by a mechanism which could never be discovered by anyone, including his insurance companies," one of the doctors cryptically explained. "I have no evidence, but I know the way I’d do it if I were going to... I can tell you this: you’re not gonna find out." June and Jennifer were the daughters of Caribbean immigrants Gloria and Aubrey Gibbons. The Gibbons family moved from Barbados to the United Kingdom in the early 1960s, as part of the Windrush generation. [3] Gloria was a housewife and Aubrey worked as a technician for the Royal Air Force. [4] The couple also had three other children: Greta was born in 1957, David was born in 1959, and Rosie was born in 1967. [5]
