Plot summary from Super summary:
https://www.supersummary.com/ill-give-you-the-sun/summary/
The story opens as Noah is being chased by two older neighborhood boys who regularly bully him. He manages to escape and make his way home. At dinner, Dianna, his mother, announces that she has a message from his dead grandmother, Grandma Sweetwine. She thinks that Noah and his twin sister Jude should apply to California School of the Arts. Noah is thrilled, though Jude and Benjamin, their father, are not. Dianna and Benjamin argue as the twins discuss Grandma’s message in the adjoining room. Noah tries to cheer her up, suggesting that Grandma thought of CSA because of the beautiful sand sculptures of flying women that Jude has been making down at the beach. In preparation for the CSA application, Dianna begins to take the twins to art museums. She announces a drawing contest between the two, but is so awed by Noah’s work, she calls off the contest even before looking at Jude’s art. Jealous of Noah’s talent and the attention it draws from their mother, Jude’s relationship with Noah begins to sour. She stops going to museums and begins to hang out at the beach instead. Noah believes that if Dianna ever saw Jude’s sand sculptures, everything would change; although he has taken pictures of Jude’s sculptures, he does not show them to anyone.
Over the summer, Noah begins to visit the CSA campus to watch a live drawing class conducted there. During one of the sessions, the model, Oscar, catches Noah practicing sketches outside the window of the class. Oscar is dismissed later that session for being under the influence and he stops modeling at CSA. When Jude sees Noah’s drawing of Oscar, she is so taken by it, that she trades Noah the sun, stars, trees, and the ocean in exchange for it, as part of a game they have played since childhood in which they divvy up the universe.
Noah also meets and befriends Brian, a new boy who has moved in next door. Brian is the star pitcher on his boarding school team and is also deeply interested in science and astronomy. Noah is immediately attracted to him, and the boys begin taking rock collecting walks together. Brian becomes popular with the neighborhood girls, and for the first time in Noah’s life, he is cool by association. Noah blows off Jude when she attempts to reconcile with him and starts spending all his time with Brian and others. Jude is furious at Noah for stealing her friends, and at a party, she manipulates a game of Seven Minutes in Heaven so that she and Brian go into the closet together. A distraught Noah leaves the party and tears up every single sketch he has made of Brian, as well as the one of Oscar which he gave to Jude, before deleting every picture he has taken of Jude’s sand sculptures.
One afternoon, Noah makes his way over to Guillermo Garcia’s studio, a famous sculptor whom Oscar once told Noah about. He watches Guillermo and his work from afar, and on his way back, runs into Dianna parked surprisingly close to the studio. Over the next couple of months, Dianna begins to act strangely, always absent-minded and lost in thought. She even forgets Benjamin’s birthday. Dianna and Benjamin eventually tell the twins that Benjamin is moving out for a while. The twins watch Benjamin leave and confide their fears and worries in each other; Jude also assures Noah that nothing happened between her and Brian, and they reconcile.
Brian comes back to visit over Christmas break, and Noah goes for a walk with him where they finally kiss. Brian wants to keep their relationship a secret, as he worries it will end his baseball career. He has been harassed for his sexual orientation in the past. However, Dianna walks in on the boys masturbating together one day, and a terrified Brian immediately ends things with Noah. Not wanting Dianna to tell anyone else, Noah follows her out of the house believing that she is going to meet Benjamin. Instead, he sees Dianna meeting and kissing Guillermo. Distraught and heartbroken, when Noah runs into Brian with one of the girls on the way home, he reveals Brian’s secret to her. Back home, Dianna tells Noah that she is going to marry Guillermo; as she leaves, Noah yells at her that he hates her. Dianna’s car veers off a cliff, and she dies in the resulting crash, and a guilt-ridden Noah lies to Benjamin and Jude that Dianna was on her way to reconcile with Benjamin. Noah also visits Guillermo and repeats the same lie, blaming Guillermo for Dianna’s death. Two weeks after Dianna’s death, Noah jumps off Devil’s Drop, a high cliff overlooking the beach and almost drowns. Jude pulls him out and revives him. Upset and furious with her brother for almost abandoning her, Jude does not mail Noah’s CSA application along with hers.
Two years later, Jude is a student at CSA; when Noah didn’t get an acceptance, he destroyed all his work and stopped making art completely. Jude was pressured into losing her virginity to an older boy the night Dianna died and believes that this invited bad luck and led to Dianna’s death. Following this, Jude cuts off all her hair and exclusively dresses in drab clothing, in a self-inflicted “boy boycott.” She also obsessively follows the dictates of Grandma Sweetwine’s “Bible,” a handwritten collections of beliefs and superstitions about luck. Jude is regularly visited by Grandma Sweetwine’s ghost; while Dianna does not appear to her, Jude believes that Dianna is responsible for the fact that all of Jude’s clay work at CSA ends up mysteriously shattered.
Jude’s mentor, Sandy, tells her that she was accepted at CSA because of the pictures of the sand sculptures that came in with her application. Jude is confused, as she had not sent in any pictures and didn’t even know any existed. Now, however, she is in danger of losing her spot at CSA, because of all the breakage in the kiln. Jude decides to work in stone so that Dianna cannot shatter her art; she plans on creating a sculpture that will impress Dianna and force her to forgive Jude. Sandy directs her to Guillermo but warns her that Guillermo has not mentored or taught in over two years after something tragic happened to him. On her way to meet and convince Guillermo, Jude stops by a church where she runs into Oscar. He seems strangely familiar, but she can’t quite place him. Oscar flirts with Jude and takes pictures of her before leaving. At Guillermo’s studio, Jude encounters a haggard and drunk Guillermo who asks her to go away; upon repeated knocking, Jude is surprised to see Oscar open the door, but he, too, turns her away. On her way home Jude receives a message from one of Noah’s friends that he plans to cliff-dive off Devil’s Drop. Jude hides and waits for him, planning to save him if necessary, but as has been happening recently, when Noah jumps, he miraculously slows down before hitting the water.
Noah and Benjamin find Jude looking up Guillermo and his work on the internet, and both seem shaken. Jude later finds that all her bookmarks about Guillermo have been deleted from her laptop. Jude goes to Guillermo’s studio again, watching him work through a window. Guillermo catches her watching him and apprehends her while she tries to run away. He invites Jude in, and seeing her desperation to work in stone, agrees to mentor her. Jude begins to work with Guillermo; before the sculpture of Dianna, however, she realizes that she wants to make one of her and Noah instead. During her time with Guillermo, Jude also grows closer to Oscar. She learns that Guillermo saved Oscar’s life, taking him in and helping him get clean some years ago. Oscar confesses his attraction to Jude; however, the intensity of his own feelings scares him, and he begins to retreat from Jude, going on to kiss another girl.
Jude decides to try and make things right with Noah. She Googles Brian and finds that he is now mildly famous for being a high-performing, openly-gay baseball player. Jude emails Brian a link to a message Noah consistently posts on a website called Lost Connections, asking Brian to forgive him and meet him again. Jude also emails her mentor at CSA asking for a meeting with her and Noah; she decides to give up her spot for Noah. Before she can confess the truth to Noah, however, she finds out that he is on the verge of jumping off the highest, most dangerous cliff on the beach. Jude arrives in time and manages to save Noah along with Oscar’s help. A drunk Noah explains whenever he jumps, Dianna always saves him at the end, slowing his fall. Oscar helps Jude get Noah home; he visits her in her room later that night, apologizing for his earlier behavior before kissing her. Jude finally recognizes him as the face in Noah’s painting. However, Oscar catches a glimpse of a family picture on Jude’s dresser, and leaves abruptly when he realizes that Jude is Dianna’s daughter.
When Jude shows Guillermo the sketches of Dianna she has made for the sculpture, he comes to the same realization and tells her he cannot mentor her anymore. Noah and Oscar arrive at the studio as well, and the truth about Dianna is revealed. An overwhelmed Jude leaves along with Noah. Noah apologizes to Jude for having lied to her and Benjamin, and the two grieve Dianna together. Jude also confesses to what she did about Noah’s CSA application, and Noah is elated that he was not actually rejected. Noah shows Jude a wall he has been secretly painting at an abandoned construction site; he does not care about art school anymore, having recently rediscovered the magic in art for its own sake. Noah and Jude tell Benjamin the truths about Dianna and CSA, and he forgives them both graciously. They also discover that Guillermo is the one who sent the pictures of Jude’s sand sculptures to CSA. Jude believes that they are all destined to be in each other’s lives and wants to continue working with Guillermo. Noah reaches out to Brian directly, and the two reconcile. The book ends with Benjamin realizing and accepting Noah’s sexuality when he sees the boys holding hands together.

Quotes:
About the invisible museum (the invisible museum is how Noah envisions the paintings he wants to bring to life, some do and some don’t, but it describes his thought process which I find super cool):
- One of his arms is choked around my neck, the other braced across my torso like a seat belt. He’s bare-chested, straight off the beach, and the heat of him is seeping through my T-shirt. His coconut suntan lotion’s filling my nose, my whole head—the strong smell of the ocean too, like he’s carrying it on his back . . . Zephyr dragging the tide along like a blanket behind him . . . That would be good, that would be it (PORTRAIT: The Boy Who Walked Off with the Sea)—but not now, Noah, so not the time to mind-paint this cretin. I snap back, taste the salt on my lips, remind myself I’m about to die—
- Because I can see people’s souls sometimes when I draw them, I know the following: Mom has a massive sunflower for a soul so big there’s hardly any room in her for organs. Jude and me have one soul between us that we have to share: a tree with its leaves on fire. And Dad has a plate of maggots for his.
- His soul might be a sun. I’ve never met anyone who had the sun for a soul.
- “I paint in my head,” I tell him. “I was the whole time.” I’ve never told anyone I do this, not even Jude, and I have no idea why I’m telling him. I’ve never let anyone into the invisible museum before. “What were you painting?”“You.”
- In my mind, I can draw Brian with lightning.
- I watch him as he razors through the crowd, nodding his head to guys, returning the smiles of girls, like he belongs. How is it he belongs everywhere? (PORTRAIT: The Boy with All the Keys in the World with All the Locks)
- I close my eyes and drown in color, open them and drown in light because billions and billions of buckets of light are being emptied on our heads from above. This is it. This is freaking everything. This is the painting painting itself.

About Jude and Noah:
- I don’t know how this can be but it can : A painting is both exactly the same and entirely different every single time you look at it. That’s the way it is between Jude and me now.
- I remember how Jude gave up the sun and stars and oceans for my drawing of him. I’m going to steal it back from her. I’m going to take everything from her. If she were drowning, I’d hold her head under.
- And most important, I don’t worry when I come home one day and find a note on the kitchen table written by Jude asking Mom to come down to the beach to see a sculpture she’s building out of sand. I don’t worry that I take the note and bury it at the bottom of the garbage can. I don’t worry, not really, even though it makes my stomach hurt to do it, no not my stomach, it makes my soul hurt that I could do it, that I actually did it. I should’ve been worrying. I should’ve been worrying a lot.
- [...]and when he revived, the second I knew he was okay, I slapped him as hard as I could across the face. Because how could he have done this? How could he have chosen to leave me here all alone?
- Noah had stopped breathing. So there were these moments when I was in life without him. For the first time. Not even in the womb were we apart. Terror doesn’t come close to describing it. Fury doesn’t come close. Heartbreak, no. There is no way to describe it. He wasn’t there. He wasn’t with me anymore.
- I took from my brother the thing he wanted most in the world. What kind of person does that?

About Brian:
- That’s when it occurs to me that maybe the rocks are weighing him down so he doesn’t rise into the air . . .
- I try to prick the balloon that’s lifting me into the air by telling myself I shouldn’t be this excited to see a guy I only met a day ago. Even if that guy carries the galaxy around in a bag!
- I’m thinking the reason I’ve been so quiet all these years is only because Brian wasn’t around yet for me to tell everything to.
- I don’t worry that when Brian and I are alone in the woods or up on his roof or in his living room watching baseball (whatever), he puts up an electrical fence between us, and never once do I risk death by brushing against it, but when we’re in public, like at The Spot, the fence vanishes, and we become clumsy magnets, bumping and knocking into each other, grazing hands, arms, legs, shoulders, tapping the other on the back, even occasionally the leg, for no good reason except that it’s like swallowing lightning.
- I don’t worry that when I get back to my seat, it all starts again, but this time our legs find each other immediately and he grabs my hand beneath the armrest and squeezes it and we electrocute and die.
- “I love you,” I say to him, only it comes out, “Hey.”“So damn much,” he says back, only it comes out, “Dude.”

Grandma Sweetwine’s bible:
- “You have to see the miracles for there to be miracles, Jude.” She used to say this a lot. It’s the very first passage she wrote in the bible. I’m not a miracle-seer. The very last passage she wrote in the bible was: A broken heart is an open heart.
- “I will bathe in vinegar, down some raw eggs, and start looking for a wasp nest ASAP to put on my head.”“I do not understand this,”he says. “To reverse the leanings of the heart. Ancient family wisdom.”He laughs. “Ah. Very good. In my family, we just suffer.”
- I went to Grandma’s bible, desperate, but it didn’t matter how many rosehips I put in my tea, how much lapis lazuli I hid under my pillow, I couldn’t get rid of the rage.

About Oscar:
- Hot guys should be forced into footie pajamas.
- No woman can resist a man who has tidal waves and earthquakes beneath the skin.
- “When I want to ask you to abandoned buildings or kiss those lips of yours or stare into your otherworldly eyes or imagine what you look like under all those baggy drab clothes you’re always hiding in or ravish you on some grimy floor like I’m desperate to this very minute, I’ll just bugger off on my Hippity Hop. Deal?” He holds out his hand. “Friends. Just friends.” Talk about mixed signals; he’s like a roller coaster that talks.
- I’m filled with something I can only describe as recognition. Not because he looks familiar on the outside this time, but because he feels familiar on the inside.
- I blew it. I did. I should’ve kissed him. One kiss, then I could die. Well, wait, no freaking way, if I’m going to die, I want to do more than kiss. Way way more.

Art wisdom:
- Because that’s what all this is about. Nothing else. We wish with our hands, that’s what we do as artists.
- Is there something you need in the world that only your two hands can create?
- “It’s okay to be addicted to beauty,” Mom says, all dreamy . “Emerson said ‘Beauty is God’s handwriting.’”
- What slumbers in the heart, slumbers in the stone.
- “If only the heart listen to reason, right?” He puts an arm around me. “C’mon, what is bad for the heart is good for art. The terrible irony of our lives as artists.” Our lives as artists.
- “I don’t think you are okay,”he says. “Sometimes you work the stone, sometimes the stone works you. I think today the rock win.”

"April 1st 2018 Sea Potatoes (Echinocardium cordatum).
Photo I. Evans
The fragile shells or tests of sea potatoes or heart urchins are regularly found on Assynt beaches, but I have never before seen one as large as this. It was collected from the eastern shore of Oldany Island (NC0934) by Wendy Glover, after she and Steve Collie had canoed across on 4th March 2018.
Sea potatoes are recorded up to 90mm, the length of this one. Much more usual are examples up to 40mm, like the other shown here, which, by coincidence, Gwen Richards and I found at Achmelvich the same day.
These tests have lost their ‘furry’ coating of recumbent spines, which in life help them to burrow down to 150mm beneath the sandy seabeds which are their natural habitat. They are one of the commoner examples, on local shores, of the echinoderms, a large group of exclusively marine organisms, uniquely 5-radiate in design, which also include starfish, brittle stars and sea cucumbers.

2023.06.04 01:48 Ok-Inside920 Looking for fun no banter podcasts

I'm a new podcast listener, but I haven't had much luck. As the title suggests, I'm looking for podcasts with no banter that get straight to the point. I liked "Beach too sandy, water too wet" and "normal gossip" but I didn't continue either because of the talk in between. It would be perfect if they could read only the reviews/the gossip. Examples of podcasts I've liked are "philosophize this" (love his narration, chill but gets to the point) and the "edge of sleep".

2023.06.03 23:59 Complex_Leek1469 Has anyone played the demo for Blario sisters island of shadows I also found the names of the sisters Blara and Mari. The game comes out July 30th

Level 1: Beachside Struggle
As the Blario sisters, Blara and Mari, wake up on the sandy shores of a mysterious island, they find themselves surrounded by a beach littered with curious creatures known as Pinchies, mischievous crabs with a penchant for mischief. The objective of the level is to navigate through the beach and overcome the challenges that lie ahead.
Section 1: Sandy Shore The level starts with the Blario sisters standing on the beach, with crashing waves and seagulls in the background. Pinchies scuttle about, and the sisters can defeat them by stomping on them. Some Pinchies may hide in the sand and pop out unexpectedly, requiring quick reflexes to avoid getting pinched. The beach is filled with seashells and palm trees, providing opportunities for secrets and powerups.
Section 2: Dark Forest As the sisters progress, they enter a dense and mysterious forest, where the sunlight struggles to penetrate the thick canopy above. Here, they encounter Sqombs, mischievous squirrels armed with bombs. Sqombs will throw bombs at the sisters, and they must be careful to avoid the explosions. Additionally, the Sqombs can manipulate the environment by tossing blocks that can serve as obstacles or platforms. The sisters can defeat Sqombs by stomping on them or throwing objects back at them.
Section 3: Abandoned Hut Finally, the sisters reach a small abandoned hut in the heart of the forest. It is dark and eerie, with tattered curtains and cobwebs. Inside, they encounter the mini-boss, a possessed rocking chair. The rocking chair comes to life, hurling pillows at the sisters and charging at them. The sisters must dodge the projectiles and time their jumps to avoid being hit. By jumping on the possessed rocking chair three times, they defeat it, causing it to lose its malevolent energy.
Upon defeating the mini-boss, the Blario sisters are rewarded with a teleporter shard, a valuable item needed to progress further in the game. The shard emits a faint glow, indicating its significance. With the shard in hand, they complete the level and are ready to venture deeper into the Island of Shadows.

Getting our first Wrangler soon and narrowing down our options. Will cloth seats get gross if we go to the beach a lot and have wet, sandy swimsuits? Also having our first baby - how does cloth handle the general disgustingness of kids? Thanks!

2023.06.03 19:54 madtampa Monterosso Beach Question

Ciao a tutti! I am traveling with my family to the Cinque Terre later this month. We are staying in Monterosso for a few days and are planning to spend at least one day (maybe afternoon) at the beach. I understand the beaches are not broad sandy beaches, but we like to spend time there anyway. We did this in Positano and loved it.
My question: Is there any beach or segment of the beaches in Monterosso where seats can be reserved in advance? That was possible in Positano and we were glad we did as it was very hard to get a seat without a reservation. Grazie!

I found this at the beach in Sandy Hook yesterday, can’t tell if it’s from a plant or animal though😅
I was chilling at the beach while drawing and meeting some new people when I found this in the sand. I thought it looked like some kind of old animal vertebrae, but I also feel like it might be some sort of pod or part of a plant. I can tell it definitely came from some kind of living thing, but I definitely have no idea on what the hell it could be😅 If anyone can identify this please let me know cause i know this definitely gonna drive me insane if i don’t find an answer😂

✅ Do respect the environment: Leave no trace behind. Respect the natural environment by not littering, damaging flora or fauna, or disturbing wildlife. Preserve the beauty of nature for future generations.
✅ Do listen to your body: Pay attention to your body’s signals. Take breaks when needed, rest if you feel exhausted, and seek medical attention if you experience any severe discomfort or symptoms of altitude sickness.

👎 Don’ts:

❌ Don’t underestimate the trek difficulty: Assess your fitness level and choose a trek that suits your capabilities. Avoid attempting treks that are beyond your physical capabilities to prevent exhaustion or injuries.
❌ Don’t ignore safety precautions: Follow the safety guidelines provided by your trekking guide or tour operator. Avoid taking unnecessary risks, stay on designated trails, and be cautious when crossing challenging terrain.
❌Don’t rush: Take your time to enjoy the journey and embrace the beauty around you. Trekking is not a race but an opportunity to immerse yourself in nature, soak in the sights, and savour every moment of the experience.
❌ Don’t leave valuables unattended: Keep your personal belongings secure at all times. It’s advisable not to carry expensive jewellery or unnecessary valuables during your trek.
❌ Don’t forget to acclimatize: If trekking at high altitudes, allow your body time to acclimatize. Ascend gradually, take rest days as recommended, and listen to your guide’s advice regarding altitude sickness prevention.

2023.06.03 10:50 temitope92 Seeking Baby-Friendly Beaches and Scenic Parks in Zakynthos

Hey! We're currently in Tsilivi, Zakynthos, with our 7-month-old, have a hire car and looking for some recommendations.
Baby-friendly beaches: We're searching for tranquil sandy beaches that can be accessed by car (no boats). Preferably, ones with a gentle coastline, a peaceful atmosphere, and maybe even a nearby walking path. Any suggestions?
Scenic parks, botanical gardens or farms: We'd love to explore parks or gardens similar to the National Trust parks in England. We're looking for beautiful landscapes, pleasant walking trails, and a chance to immerse ourselves in nature. Any hidden gems in the area that you can recommend?
Also looking for recommendations for light mountain hikes that we can enjoy with our baby in a carrier.
We would also ideally like to avoid driving though the mountains, preferably sticking to main and rural roads.
Thanks in advance!

Hello and welcome to my post I'm thrilled to have this opportunity to introduce myself to you.I'm a well-traveled, kind-hearted, and passionate individual who believes in the power of meaningful connections.
As an avid traveler, I've had the privilege of exploring 47 countries across the globe. From immersing myself in the vibrant cultures of Southeast Asia to marveling at the architectural wonders of Europe, each journey has broadened my horizons and left an indelible mark on my soul. I believe that travel not only enriches our understanding of the world but also enables us to appreciate its diversity and beauty.
I consider myself a true gentleman with old-fashioned values, and treating ladies with respect and chivalry is at the core of who I am. I believe in creating a nurturing and supportive environment for a meaningful and lasting relationship. Opening doors, pulling out chairs, and making sure my partner feels cherished are gestures that come naturally to me.
In addition to my travels and gentlemanly demeanor, I'm passionate about education and continuous learning. I hold PhD degree and I find great joy in expanding my knowledge in various fields. I'm always open to engaging conversations and intellectual debates that challenge my perspectives and help me grow as an individual.
When I'm not exploring new destinations or expanding my horizons, you'll often find me in the kitchen, indulging in my love for cooking. From experimenting with exotic recipes to whipping up comforting classics, the joy of creating delicious meals and sharing them with loved ones brings me immense happiness. I'd be thrilled to prepare a romantic dinner for you, showcasing my culinary skills and making it an unforgettable first date.
Nature holds a special place in my heart, and I find solace in its serene beauty. Whether it's taking leisurely hikes through lush forests, enjoying picnics by tranquil lakes, or simply strolling along sandy beaches, I'm always rejuvenated by the wonders of the natural world. It would be wonderful to have a partner who shares my appreciation for the great outdoors and wants to embark on adventures together.
Maintaining a healthy lifestyle is important to me, so I prioritize fitness and exercise in my daily routine. Whether it's hitting the gym, practicing yoga, or going for invigorating runs, staying active keeps me balanced and energized. I'm always up for trying new activities and exploring different fitness routines. It would be fantastic to find a partner who values their well-being and enjoys staying active too.
In addition to my personal pursuits, I also devote my time to volunteering. Making a positive impact on the lives of others is a fulfilling experience, and it's a part of my life that I hold dear.
Humor is an essential part of who I am, and I firmly believe in finding laughter and joy in everyday situations. I love sharing lighthearted moments and witty banter, as it adds a spark to any relationship. Life is too short to take ourselves too seriously, and I'm always up for a good laugh.
Ultimately, I'm here with the intention of finding a serious and committed relationship. I believe in building a deep connection based on trust, respect, and shared values. If you're someone who appreciates a well-traveled, kind-hearted, and passionate partner, and you're ready to embark on an adventure filled with love, laughter, and personal growth, then I'd be absolutely delighted to hear from you. Let's create our own story together and make beautiful memories along the way.

My new single dropped today! I sampled a vocal and turned it into a synth, which has now quickly become one of my favorite things to do. It reminds me of Porter Robinson a bit.
Check it out and let me know what you think: https://open.spotify.com/track/3ckGK9pKrupUGVnKGiKl3w?si=b76be671134b4086
