Library Newsletter LIBRARYSERVING CENTER MORICHES, EAST MORICHES, NEWSLETTER EASTPORT, MANORVILLE, REMSENBURG AND SPEONK JULY-AUGUST 2016 READING CLUBS ARE COMING! DETAILS ON PAGE 4 UNEXPECTEDLY, RAY BRADBURY... by Maurine R. Donnelly I opened a book by Neil Gaiman, Trigger Warning: Short Fictions and Dis- turbances, -- and imagine my surprise when I found, in the Introduction where the author comments on each of the twenty-four fan- tastical short stories, Ray Bradbury's name popped up. The story was called, "The Man Who Forgot Ray Bradbury." Gaiman said he wrote the story as a 90th birthday present for Mr. Bradbury, a long-time friend. It was a "love letter and a thank you to an author who made me dream, taught me about words and what they could accomplish and who never let me down." His editor/friend read the story to Bradbury at his bedside. Bradbury was born in Waukegan, Illinois on August 22, 1920 and died in California on June 5, 2012. He and I both have a Swedish ancestor - his mother and my father's father were both from Sweden. It's nice to know. His best known work, Fahrenheit 451 was published in 1953 and made into a movie in 1966. He loved libraries and books, and said that he was "completely educated in BACK BY POPULAR DEMAND! the library," giving all his papers to the Waukegan Public Library. Gaiman said, "Bradbury left the world a better place and left better places in it: SUNDAY, JULY 17TH, 2:00-3:30PM CMA614 the red sands and canals of Mars, the mid-western Halloweens and small The members of Liverpool Shuffle are all avowed BEATLEMANIACS!

  • Dandelion Wine
    Reading Guide Dandelion Wine By Ray Bradbury ISBN: 9780380977260 Introduction Twelve-year-old Douglas Spaulding arises on an early June morning in a small bedroom in the cupola of his grandparents' house. As Douglas looks out the window, the small town of Green Town, Illinois awakens, and Doug is filled with the joy of being alive. And so begins the summer of 1928 as re- imagined by Ray Bradbury in his novel Dandelion Wine, a rich, evocative tale of a summer long past and its memories, joys, and frustrations. The central metaphor of the novel is the creation of Dandelion Wine, which becomes a distillation of the summer's days and may be reopened and revisited during the bleak winter months to come. Throughout the summer, Douglas and his brother, Tom, also record, in a notepad, specific incidents and lessons learned. One of the first lessons Douglas learns is that adults and children are different species. The brothers also come to the conclusion that old people were never children. But while the summer seems idyllic, darker things, such as change and death, lurk in the background. Douglas is exposed to these through a series of events that include the loss of best friend (who moves away) and the death of his great-grandmother. The ravine and a serial killer called the "Lonely One" are embodiments of the fear of death and change. As a result of these events, Douglas falls into a fever, but is saved by the town's junk man, Mr. Jonas, who gives the boy two bottles of pure winter air, which break the fever.

By writing a draft in a day I have a story with a skin around it.” Ray Bradbury’s creative coda originated long before he fashioned this concise version of it for his December 1964 Show magazine interview. His daily writing habit had become a quotidian fever by the early 1940s, and he soon learned to avoid interruptions from any other voices—including his own rational judgments. Each day became a race between subconscious inspiration and the stifling effects of his own self-conscious thoughts—the more logical thought patterns that he desperately tried to hold at bay during the few hours it would take him to complete an initial draft. Bradbury was convinced that the magic would dissolve away if he failed to carry through on a story idea or an opening page at first sitting, and it’s not surprising that his Show interview coda came with a cautionary corollary: “If one waits overnight to finish a story, quite often the texture one gets the next day is different.

Before You Know Kindness by Chris Bohjalian For ten summers, the extended Seton family met at their country home in New Hampshire, but during the eleventh summer everything changed.

Dandelion Wine by Ray Bradbury In the strange world of Green Town, Illinois, there was a junkman who saved lives; a pair of shoes that could make you run as fast as a deer; a human time machine; a wax witch that could tell real fortunes; a man who almost wrecked happiness by building a happiness machine. And there was a twelve-year-old boy named Douglas Spaulding, who found himself very much at home in this extraordinary world… (look also for the sequel in New Books, Farewell Summer) Summer of Light by W.

  • Chapter 1 Introduction
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Widya Mandala Catholic University Surabaya Repository CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 . Background of the Study Literature is interesting to be learned because of three following reasons. First, literature can entertain. It can make the readers get pleasure and feel happy. Second, literature is a part of life; it can make the readers learn about the culture, costumes, value, religion and history of the story taking place. And the last reason is literature can teach and improve the reader’ knowledge (Roberts and Jacob 1989:19). Roberts and Jacob (1989:21) argue that literature can also help people grow into the broader cultural, philosophic and religious world and to recognize human dreams and struggles in order to develop mature sensitivity. Literature such as a poem, play or any other piece of writing is a crafted thing which also offers the reader an imaginative experience (Woolfe and Hampton 1984:1). Literature is like a mirror of life and reflection of human life. Most of what the author writes in literature happens in the real life. When the readers read literature such as poem, play, novel or any other piece of writing with interest, there is a point at which the readers become totally immersed in literature, but when the readers have finished reading a poem or play or novel, or any other piece of writing, the readers can go back through the work/ the real life and see how each part, language, characterization, plot, personality, history, the way to solve the problem, etc, give the readers impact to the real life (Woolfe and Hampton 1984:1).

  • RAY BRADBURY  1920: He Was Born in Waukegan, Illinois, and Always Maintained Strong Ties to His Small-Town Upbringing
    American author best known for his highly imaginative short stories and novels, he inspired generations of readers and viewers to dream, think, and create. His shockingly prophetic dystopian work Fahrenheit 451 (1953) has been highly praised for its stance against censorship and its defense of literature as necessary to civilization. SECTION SUMMARY 2 RAY BRADBURY 1920: he was born in Waukegan, Illinois, and always maintained strong ties to his small-town upbringing. As a child, he loved horror films such as The Phantom of the Opera (1925) and enjoyed immensely the first science fiction magazine, Amazing Stories. 1932: he had an encounter with a carnival magician which sparked his writing life. Wreathed in static electricity Mr. Electrico touched him on the nose with his energy- charged sword, and said, “Live forever!” Bradbury later said, “I decided that it was the greatest idea I had ever heard. I started writing every day and never stopped.” 4 RAY BRADBURY 1934: his family moved to Los Angeles and in 1937 he joined the Los Angeles Science Fiction League. 1939: he published his own “fanzine”, Futuria Fantasia, making his first sale to a professional science fiction magazine in 1941 with his short story Pendulum. It was the beginning of a career that spanned seventy-plus years in which he wrote more than 400 short stories and nearly fifty books across a variety of genres. He also penned numerous poems, essays, plays, operas, teleplays, and screenplays receiving many honours for his work. 5 FANTASY in BRADBURY’s LIFE Not only did Bradbury create fantastical worlds with pen and paper, he also lived in a surreal world of his own creation.
