Empress Theresa

Product Information

Premise 2: Boutin's sister will enjoy Premise 1 coming true. Assuming that her psyche is not as deranged as Boutin's, this is false. Her sister is of similar age to Boutin, a demographic that does not generally enjoy poorly-written science-fiction. At one point, while in the UK, Theresa meets with a Royal Air Force “General”. The RAF does not use the rank of General, the equivalent would be Air Chief Marshal.

If you don't desire a heavy dose of negative attention, do not give readers and reviewers alike a reason to give you negative attention. Look at Norman and his antics and, beside getting a heavy case of schadenfreude, learn and grow from his mistakes. Our Dark Matter Is Mysterious: HAL is said to be made out of dark matter which manifests as a ball of white light and is able to grant Theresa various special powers. At one point, Theresa completely destroys the economy for gold bullion owners, and they hire a lawyer to take Theresa to court over her alteration of the economy. Instead of being angry at the people who hired a lawyer for a class action lawsuit, Theresa instead sabotages the life of the lawyer and makes it so any motor vehicle with her inside will inexplicably stall and fail. This is treated as okay because of the fact that Theresa was being bullied, never mind that she is bullying an innocent lawyer who is just trying to do her job (whom she also knows has children). Theresa never reverses this either, so this is presumably just something this woman has to live with forever now, and the book acts like this just immediately stops the lawsuit and Theresa is done with this situation. Theresa spends her free time meeting some small groups of friends, as long as HAL wasn’t discussed, and using her powers to find archaeological finds. One example is Steve bringing in a cardboard box to the Yeshiva University Jewish Studies department. It’s a scroll, the oldest document ever found, of Leviticus from the Babylonian Exile period. The questions was whether they had any more. Steve answers by buying a supermarket north of New York City and fitting it with climate control and massive concrete walls. “Hint, hint, hint!” Steve invites PM Scherzer to the grand opening of this building, where many other Jewish people congregated, to see the sights within. Inside are thousands of old scrolls from Iraq, containing a large swath of previously-untold history.Title Drop: Theresa directly refers to herself as "Empress Theresa" when she and Steve finally leave the Parker family nearly a year after their arrival. She is also mentioned by her epithet of "World Empress" in the epigraph. I've noticed that on lists of books assigned to high school English classes, lists collected by academic services, among the books read in class are such stories as George Orwell's 1984, Orwell's Animal Farm, and Aldous Huxley's Brave New World. A 16 year old high school girl a few miles from here read 1984 in her school. Really? I'm astonished! How infinitely more interesting and entertaining the students would have found Empress Theresa. [11] Theresa does so well in the fifth grade that she skips to the seventh grade. Jan Struthers and the other agents continue to monitor her. The first chapter explains that the first chapter will introduce the main character, while the second and third chapter will set up the story's premise, and the fourth chapter is where the action starts. The fifth and sixth chapters, by the way, are mainly just recaps of the fourth chapter. Whole schools of literary criticism could be structured solely around attempting to explain this level of self-referentiality.

In that time, Theresa has 420 children, meaning that at a minimum she would have to have been pregnant for 315 straight years, becoming pregnant immediately after the last child is born.Applied Phlebotinum: HAL is basically a ball of concentrated Phlebotinum. Theresa vaguely explains how it functions with pseudo-scientific jargon. Starfish Alien: Hal is an ageless, indestructible life form that looks like a white orb. His biology is utterly inexplicable, supposedly being based on dark matter, but it is known that he can only reproduce while in symbiosis with a host. While Blair talks about how they all thought Theresa was dead and how they were planning her funeral, he relates that they were to play a soulful instrumental version of Danny Boy "for the girl descended from the Irish" and that "Great Britain was proud to bring one of its own home for a final visit." Ireland is not a part of Great Britain or the United Kingdom. While Northern Ireland is a part of the UK, it isn't specified what part of Ireland Theresa's ancestry comes from. Not to mention that Theresa is an American-born and raised citizen and therefore has nothing to do with either country in the first place. Norman Boutin is currently banned from CAF, though for what reason is not entirely sure. Apparently, he was suspended five times in 2013, [5] most likely for the way he spoke against non-Catholics and non-Christians.

Eventually, Norman Boutin was banned from the forum, most likely for his attitude towards...well, everyone.

While playing baseball, Theresa deliberately doesn't throw as fast as she can because she wants to avoid detection. Considering she pitches at 85 mph (for the record, the slowest a Major League pitcher throws is 60 mph) at the age of ten, the idea of her "avoiding detection" is laughable. Nonindicative Name: Despite the name, HAL has far more in common with the Monolith than with HAL 9000. Theresa is told she will meet with a Saudi Arabian representative, where she worries she won’t be able to negotiate with this expert alone, but Blair assures her it will happen in multiple sessions and with no danger to her. They discuss particulars, with the main point being that, if Theresa agrees to give up her ownership of the island and to distribute it among a consortium of nations, OPEC will drop their demand of the poor fund and of the reoccupation of Israel, though they still demand the ungrounding of terrorists. This is because the Arabs are, “amused to see the terrorists slap us in the face once in a while. The Saudi representative cannot ignore this popular support.” The other problem is some Israelis will refuse to leave, which will be tested once push comes to shove. Theresa doesn’t care for these things, and once she moves the Israelis to the new island, she won’t have to worry about OPEC any longer.

Oh, so very much. Rather than use her powers to save the world, Theresa basically goes on an extended holiday and complains about everything in France. She also misses chipmunks while there.This Wiki is inspired by the Indie published book Empress Theresa, about a young girl, Theresa Sullivan, who soon becomes united with a strange alien lifeform and gains superpowers. It has become infamous due mainly to the antics of its author, Norman Boutin. The next day, she uses the first paragraphs of the Declaration of Independence as a speech, and everyone loves it so much they credit her with the world’s greatest speech. http://www.writingforums.com/threads/133885-Empress-Theresa-is-here?s=fce8481fe38b0b020ca3f55b44bad07d&p=1571172&viewfull=1#post1571172 This caused one of the people he was challenging to respond with a link to his own novella, saying: Many of these traits are seen in Norman Boutin's handling of critics, as well as his statements towards people elsewhere.
