Alone-That was my life even before my mother died. Until I found my father and a sister with the life I should have had. I know my heart had a time limit.Putting my plans on hold, I enrolled in college, and inserted myself into my sister's life.What could go wrong?Evidently a lot. I didn't count on her wanting to be friends. Or the guy across the street to end up in my bed. Relationships were not on my bucket list and I hate they all make me want more...more fun, more family, more love.Should I give them the little time I have left or continue on with my plans to travel the world?

TrixI had no choice but to go back. Going back was the only way we would be safe. Or so I thought. When I walked back inside the Clubhouse I realized that things had changed and life had moved on without me. NixWhen she left it changed everything. I never expected to see her again. So I moved on, or at least I tried. The day that she walked back into my life caused a chain reaction that threatened to ruin everything I had built with out her.

Recent advances in cognitive linguistics provide new avenues for reading and interpreting Biblical Hebrew prophetic text. This volume utilises a multi-layered cognitive linguistics approach to explore Jeremiah 1:1-6:30, incorporating insights from cognitive grammar, cognitive science and conceptual blending theory. While the modern reader is separated from the originators of these texts by time, space and culture, this analysis rests on the theory that both the originators and the modern reader share common features of embodied experience. This opens the way for utilising cognitive models, conceptual metaphor and mental spaces theory when reading and interpreting ancient texts.This volume provides an introduction to cognitive theory and method. Initially, short examples from Jeremiah 1:1-6:30 are used to introduce the theory and method. This is followed by a detailed comparison of traditional and cognitive approaches to Biblical Hebrew grammar. These insights are then applied to further examples taken from Jeremiah 1:1-6:30 in order to test and refine the approach. These findings show that Jeremiah 1:1-1:3 establishes perspective for the text as a whole and that subsequent shifts in perspective may be tracked using aspects of mental spaces theory. Much of the textual content yields to concepts derived from conceptual metaphor studies and from conceptual blending theory, which are introduced and explained using examples taken from Jeremiah 1:1-6:30. The entire analysis demonstrates some of the strengths and weaknesses of using recent cognitive theories and methods for analysing and interpreting ancient texts. While such theories and methods do not obviate the need for traditional interpretive methods, they do provide a more nuanced understanding of the ancient text.
