  Arguably the first major American novel to satirize the political milieu of Washington, D.C. and the wild speculation schemes that exploded across the nation in the years that followed the Civil War, The Gilded Age gave this remarkable era its name. Co-written by Mark Twain and Charles Dudley Warner, this rollicking novel is rife with unscrupulous politicians, colorful plutocrats, and blindly optimistic speculators caught up in a frenzy of romance, murder, and surefire deals gone bust. First published in 1873 and filled with unforgettable characters such as the vainglorious Colonel Sellers and the ruthless Senator Dilsworthy, The Gilded Age is a hilarious and instructive lesson in American history. the story is told using the first-person narrative voice of Huck Finn.

  Pili’s locs are dark, fluffy, and soon hitting the five-year mark. Her family treats her like an outcast until Seth, a white man, comes into their lives. He leaves Zubeda, his ex-girlfriend, for Pili and opens a shop for her parents. He gives Neema, her mother, and Baba all the money they need to fulfil their dreams. 
  But it hasn’t rained for the past four years, and the drought is unfathomable. Her parents convince Pili and themselves that there is no need for rain for as long as they have Seth. 
  It’s only a couple of weeks to the five-year mark. Honey, a strange white woman who is also Seth’s friend, draws unusually close to Pili. She investigates what makes Pili’s hair special. She is set to find out why Seth loves Pili instead of her. 
  Pili is naïve enough to reveal to Honey that she has the rain in her hair. The slim white woman convinces her to cut it. When she does, the unexpected happens, and Pili is severely punished. Just like her Sangazimis, her father’s sisters before were!

  ऐसा लगता है कि ग्रेग के दृष्टिकोण में पढ़ने और बातचीत की एक विशिष्ट विधि शामिल है जिसका उद्देश्य अस्वस्थ विचार पैटर्न और अवसाद, चिंता, नींद संबंधी विकार, कड़वाहट और व्यसनी व्यवहार जैसी स्थितियों को संबोधित करना है। यहाँ इस दृष्टिकोण का विवरण दिया गया है: 
  1. लक्षित दर्शक: ग्रेग की पढ़ी-सुनी सोच-समझकर लिखी गई पुस्तकें मुख्य रूप से वर्तमान और पूर्व जेल प्रहरियों, सैन्य कर्मियों और प्रथम उत्तरदाताओं के लिए लक्षित हैं - ऐसे व्यक्ति जो अक्सर उच्च-तनाव वाले वातावरण और दर्दनाक घटनाओं का अनुभव करते हैं। 
  2. पढ़ने की विधि: पुस्तकों को अकेले या पढ़ने वाले साथी के साथ पढ़ने के लिए डिज़ाइन किया गया है। यदि अकेले पढ़ा जाता है, तो व्यक्ति पुस्तक को चुपचाप पढ़ता है। यदि किसी साथी के साथ पढ़ा जाता है, तो साथी पुस्तक को जोर से पढ़ता है जबकि व्यक्ति सुनता है। 
  3. निर्धारित समय अवधि: पुस्तकों को एक निर्धारित अवधि के लिए, विशेष रूप से 20 से 50 बार पढ़ना होता है। यह संरचित दृष्टिकोण सकारात्मक मानसिक पैटर्न को सुदृढ़ करने और नकारात्मक लोगों को चुनौती देने के लिए डिज़ाइन की गई एक दोहरावदार पढ़ने की प्रक्रिया का सुझाव देता है। 4. उपचारात्मक लक्ष्य: इस पठन विधि का प्राथमिक लक्ष्य अवसाद, चिंता, नींद संबंधी विकार, कड़वाहट और व्यसनी व्यवहार से जुड़े अस्वस्थ विचार पैटर्न का मुकाबला करना है। बार-बार विषय-वस्तु से जुड़कर, व्यक्तियों को इन पैटर्न का सामना करने और उन्हें बदलने के लिए प्रोत्साहित किया जाता है। 
  5. PTSD फोकस: पोस्ट-ट्रॉमेटिक स्ट्रेस (PTS) से पीड़ित व्यक्तियों के लिए, ग्रेग किसी ऐसे व्यक्ति के साथ पढ़ने के महत्व पर जोर देता है जिसने एक समान दर्दनाक घटना का अनुभव किया हो। इस साझा अनुभव को PTSD की विशेषता वाले लगातार और घुसपैठ वाले विचारों को संबोधित करने में लाभकारी माना जाता है। 
  कुल मिलाकर, ग्रेग की विधि संरचित पठन अभ्यासों को चिकित्सीय लक्ष्यों के साथ एकीकृत करती है, जिसका उद्देश्य व्यक्तियों को अपनी मानसिक स्वास्थ्य चुनौतियों का सक्रिय रूप से मुकाबला करने और प्रबंधित करने के लिए एक उपकरण प्रदान करना है, विशेष रूप से दर्दनाक अनुभवों से उत्पन्न होने वाली चुनौतियों का।
