This book is a preparation guide for various ways of coming out, as lesbian, gay or other form of sexuality that's not heterosexual. (Used my Oscar Wilde bookmark reading this :) ) A guide for the coming-out journey, Outing Yourself will convince all who read it that, in the words of the author, "The stress of coming out will never be as hard on you as the stress of staying in was." Signorile's 14-step program-complete with exercises, meditation notes, and anger checks, as well as the accounts of the coming-out experiences of other lesbians and gay men-shows how you can successfully handle this life-changing, life-renewing process. There's no magic formula, but Outing Yourself by Michelangelo Signorile offers structure, guidance, and straightforward advice to all those who are struggling with their sexuality and unsure of what to do, who have accepted that they are gay but are still afraid of coming out, or who consider themselves out of the closet but realize they have a few more steps to go. No matter how much you prepare, coming out as gay or lesbian is a difficult, emotional process - a process that will continue long after the words are spoken and the secret is out. Coming out isn't easy-but with Signorile's 14-step program, it's a lot easier.

Neither the tree nor the boy is named, and the story is not located in any particular place. The Giving Tree begins by introducing the tree and the little boy she loves. In this reading, the boy represents the destructive selfishness of humanity towards the natural world. It has also been criticized on environmental grounds as being anthropocentric: the little boy never hesitates to demand more and more from the tree, which he sees only in terms of the material goods she can give him. It was, for instance, banned from one public library in Colorado on the grounds that it was sexist: the tree in the story is described as “she,” and the child to which she selflessly and unthinkingly gives herself, as a “he.” Thus, it was argued that the story portrayed female exploitation. Besides being one of the best known and loved of Silverstein's stories, The Giving Tree is also one of the most controversial. The book is quite spare of text, and as with many children's books, its (equally minimal) illustrations are essential to the progression of the story. The Giving Tree is a famous children's story written and illustrated by Shel Silverstein.

Though they were not necessarily close, Miranda treasures her memories of her sister. Now, five years after the death of her reckless older sister, it's Rand's turn to shock her parents: she's pregnant. Miranda has always been the younger sister, the good daughter, the nice girl, the quiet artist.
