In modern America nearly every young personby the time he reaches junior high school hasmastered this skill and thus has access to the great wealth ofinformation, entertainment, and stimulation that lies within the pages of books.He has a long lifetime of reading ahead of him to advancehis knowledge and to enjoy the delights of adventure,fantasy, travel, and imagination through the medium of books. Fortunately in our times the number andvariety of books avail- able for readers of all ages are greatalready and increase yearly. A person can find a book on almost anysubject in which he has an interest. There are readablebooks en science, careers, nature, and foreign countries; there are books ofhumor and poetry; there are books that bring spiritualconsolation. Readers. young and old alike, sometimes find the very abundanceof good books a handicap in their search for specific volumes forrecreation or study. Hence they turn to guides of various sortsfor help in find- ing and selecting their reading. The Your Reading book list is a selectionof several hundred books in print that have an appeal and a usefulnessfor thelunior high school student. Such a student can findin tIlinatIWCISF books to read for fun or fact, books that areworth reading and that are available in library or bookstore. Morebooks are avail- able, of course, than are here listed. The booksincluded have been selected by a committee of teachers and librariansand arranged by general category to help the reader in hissearch. A brief anno- tation describes the content of the book. Books easyto read are indicated by an asterisk (s); a dagger (t)indicates the books of greaser than average reading difficulty.The symbol NF indicates that a book is nonfiction. A few of the bookslisted have been published in paperback, and this fact is indicatedby a P pre- ceding the name of the publisher. The committeehopes that read- ers will notice the increasingavailability of paperback books, both the paperback editions of titles first publishedin hard covers and the titles being printed originally inpaperback format. It is the hope of the committee that readers will find thebook list a ready and easy.to-use guide to the books they areseeking.

    Robertson Davies Fifth Business Fifth Business Definition: Those roles which, being neither those of Hero nor Heroine, Confidante nor Villain, but which were nonetheless essential to bring about the Recognition or the denouement, were called the Fifth Business in drama and opera companies organized according to the old style; the player who acted these parts was often referred to as Fifth Business. —Tho. Overskou, Den Daaske Skueplads I. Mrs. Dempster 1 My lifelong involvement with Mrs. Dempster began at 8 o’clock p.m. on the 27th of December, 1908, at which time I was ten years and seven months old. I am able to date the occasion with complete certainty because that afternoon I had been sledding with my lifelong friend and enemy Percy Boyd Staunton, and we had quarrelled, because his fine new Christmas sled would not go as fast as my old one. Snow was never heavy in our part of the world, but this Christmas it had been plentiful enough almost to cover the tallest spears of dried grass in the fields; in such snow his sled with its tall runners and foolish steering apparatus was clumsy and apt to stick, whereas my low-slung old affair would almost have slid on grass without snow. The afternoon had been humiliating for him, and when Percy as humiliated he was vindictive. His parents were rich, his clothes were fine, and his mittens were of skin and came from a store in the city, whereas mine were knitted by my mother; it was manifestly wrong, therefore, that his splendid sled should not go faster than mine, and when such injustice showed itself Percy became cranky.

  • Carl Sandburg
    The International Journal of Reminiscence and Life Review © 2016 The Author 2016, Volume 3, Issue 1, pp. 61-63 http://143.95.253.101/~radfordojs/index.php/IJRLR Shared Reminiscence Carl Sandburg David Cooley Hendersonville, North Carolina In 1945, Carl Sandburg and his wife, Lillian, moved to the Hendersonville area from a small farm on the shores of Lake Michigan. A lot of people in the area wondered why this famous man had chosen our little community as his new home. He had paid what was thought to be an astounding price of $45,000 for 248 acres of land that included a three-story main house, a barn complex and several outbuildings. Mr. Sandburg reportedly said he felt he'd bought an entire “village,” and Mrs. Sandburg, a breeder of champion milk goats told friends that they had bought “a million acres of sky.” The estate was once owned by C. G. Memminger, the first secretary of the Confederacy. I wonder if Mr. Sandburg, the greatest Lincoln authority knew this or, if he did, found it somewhat ironic. I collected his garbage I was required to read some of his writings in high school, but the first time I came face to face with Carl Sandburg was an early morning at his home in Flat Rock. I had, along with John Shepherd, an older friend, established the first rural garbage collection service in Hendersonville. I was a junior in high school. Sandburg was a customer. “Come on in,” he said, as I went to his kitchen door to pick up his garbage.

  • Illustrating Stories of the American West Karen Yarnall Introduction This Unit Is the Result from Taking the Delaware Teachers I
    Illustrating Stories of the American West Karen Yarnall Introduction This unit is the result from taking the Delaware Teachers Institute seminar “The American West as Place, Process, and Story” with University of Delaware’s Barry Joyce, Associate Professor of History. Not only will it fit into our art curriculum, but it will also increase the students’ knowledge of the American West and add an appreciation of tales that are a part of it. This unit will allow students to make cross-curricular connections between social studies, literature, geography, reading, writing, and art. After studying the American West with its rich history, art, and stories, my students will then select and research a folk tale, legend, myth, story, tall tale or Native American story from the west and capture a moment from their selections on paper in a color illustration. They will analyze and evaluate their own work and that of their peers in critiques. The unit will culminate with an art show for the community featuring the student illustrations. As one of three art teachers at Newark High School in Newark, Delaware, I plan to teach this unit in two of my classes. My Art Fundamentals class is our foundations course with an enrollment of over 30 9th, 10th, 11th and 12th grade students. The other class is my small upper level Advanced Drawing class that is composed of juniors and seniors who have more advanced skills. Newark High School is a Title 1 school with a population that is over 50% minority, 43% low income and 7% special education.

  • Borderlands E-Journal
    borderlands e-journal www.borderlands.net.au VOLUME 11 NUMBER 1, 2012 Missing In Action By all media necessary Suvendrini Perera School of Media, Culture & Creative Arts, Curtin University This essay weaves itself around the figure of the hip-hop artist M.I.A. Its driving questions are about the impossible choices and willed identifications of a dirty war and the forms of media, cultural politics and creativity they engender; their inescapable traces and unaccountable hauntings and returns in diasporic lives. In particular, the essay focuses on M.I.A.’s practice of an embodied poetics that expresses the contradictory affective and political investments, shifting positionalities and conflicting solidarities of diaspora lives enmeshed in war. In 2009, as the military war in Sri Lanka was nearing its grim conclusion, with what we now know was the cold-blooded killing of thousands of Tamil civilians inside an official no-fire zone, entrapped between two forms of deadly violence, a report in the New York Times described Mathangi ‘Maya’ Arulpragasam as the ‘most famous member of the Tamil diaspora’ (Mackey 2009). Mathangi Arulpragasam had become familiar to millions across the globe in her persona as the hip-hop performer M.I.A., for Missing in Action. In the last weeks of the war, she made a number of public appeals on behalf of those trapped by the fighting, including a last-minute tweet to Oprah Winfrey to save the Tamils. Her appeal, which went unheeded, was ill- judged and inspired in equal parts. It suggests the uncertain, precarious terrain that M.I.A.

  • Resignations and Removals: a History of Federal Judicial Service-And Disservice-1789-1992
    RESIGNATIONS AND REMOVALS: A HISTORY OF FEDERAL JUDICIAL SERVICE-AND DISSERVICE-1789-1992 EMILY FIELD VAN TASSEL- Thomas Jefferson's dismay over the failed impeachment of Supreme Court Justice Samuel Chase in 1805 led him later to complain that "impeachment is not even a scarecrow."1 Subse- quent events have proven Jefferson wrong. Although the full panoply of the impeachment process has been used rarely, its existence has given Congress an impressively big stick to wield in persuading miscreant judges to leave the bench.2 Since Jefferson's time, our experience has suggested two important conclusions about judicial discipline and removal. The first is that investigations, threats of investigations, and threats of impeachment can be very powerful tools in inducing judges to resign from office voluntarily. The second is that these tools have a great potential for misuse. Judicial independence is a core value supported by the constitu- tional structure of the federal judiciary.
