  • Artist-Author Mary Hallock Foote and Her Angle of Repose

    Artist-Author Mary Hallock Foote and Her Angle of Repose

    Artist-Author Mary Hallock Foote and her Angle of Repose Casey Bush © 2003 ary Hallock Foote, the noted but neglected Western writer and illustrator, once admitted the limits of her realism as she confessed to the editor of Century Magazine when asked to draw a M full-page picture of a sheriff’s posse: “The picture is not so sincere as it might be. The artist, in the course of many rides over these mountain pastures, by daylight or twilight or moonrise, has never yet encountered anything so sensational as a troop of armed men on the track of a criminal.” Likewise, few posses ran across women like Mary Hallock Foote (1847-1938). The Victorian gentlewoman traveled the American West dressed in hoop skirt and petticoats, insisting that her children be educated by an English nanny and fed by a Chinese cook, so that she could work on her illustrations and stories, without interruption. Due to the physical isolation of Mary Hallock, circa 1874 Foote’s various homes, she thirsted for cultured visitors, as noted by a member of Clarence King’s Fortieth Parallel Survey who wrote about a visit: “King and I forged through the forest, crossing a mine ditch and in a little clearing espied a cozy log cabin. As we approached, we discerned a rustic porch made comfortable...suggesting that an Eastern woman, and a cultivated one, lived at the house...King had known her but this was the first time I had met Mary Hallock Foote...She was well read on everything and ripped out an intellectual go-as-you-please backed up by good looks and brightness.

    Reading List Gr 11-12

    Thirty-three Books (and One Book of Poetry) We Love Sandia Prep English Department Suggested Reading List for students entering 11th and 12th grades Animal Dreams, Barbara Kingsolver In this provocative look at a young woman returning home to face her past and her need for a renewed sense of purpose, Kingsolver weaves Native American legends with environmental issues and with a search for love and identity. Anna Karenina, Leo Tolstoy The novel’s opening line is justly famous: “Happy families are all alike; every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.” Here Tolstoy explores two characters’ very different ways of seeking meaning in their lives, one through a passionate love affair, the other through a commitment to family and to work. Arranged Marriage, Chitra Divakaruni In the collection of short stories, Divakaruni explores the lives and problems of several Indian women who struggle to adapt to new situations while maintaining their ties to traditional beliefs and habits. As I Lay Dying, William Faulkner Often called Faulkner’s most accessible novel, the work has a simple story line—that of a husband seeking to give his wife the burial she wished for—but it is told through the viewpoints of several characters. A fascinating and often comedic look at people’s hopes and delusions, their passions and compromises. The Blind Assassin, Margaret Atwood Here Canadian author Atwood examines a family over time, each member caught in a social tapestry of power and of current events and many searching to understand a tragic earlier event. Breakfast of Champions, Kurt Vonnegut Vonnegut, a great American man of letters, introduces us to a world of American values circa 1973.

Stephen King's books have become a lightning rod for the tensions around issues of including "mass market" popular literature in middle and 1.i.gh school English classes and of who chooses what students read. King's fi'tion is among the most popular of "pop" literature, and among the most controversial. These essays spotlight the ways in which King's work intersects with the themes of the literary canon and its construction and maintenance, censorship in public schools, and the need for adolescent readers to be able to choose books in school reading programs. The essays and their authors are: (1) "Reading Stephen King: An Ethnography of an Event" (Brenda Miller Power); (2) "I Want to Be Typhoid Stevie" (Stephen King); (3) "King and Controversy in Classrooms: A Conversation between Teachers and Students" (Kelly Chandler and others); (4) "Of Cornflakes, Hot Dogs, Cabbages, and King" (Jeffrey D.

Collection of the New-York Historical Society. © Women and the American Story 2021 Page 2 of 8 MODERNIZING AMERICA, 1889-1920 Modern Womanhood Elizabeth Cochran was born on May 5, 1864 in Cochran’s Mills, Pennsylvania. The town was founded by her father, Judge Michael Cochran. Elizabeth had fourteen siblings. Her father had ten children from his first marriage and five children from his second marriage to Elizabeth’s mother, Mary Jane Kennedy. Michael Cochran’s rise from mill worker to mill owner to judge meant his family lived very comfortably. Unfortunately, he died when Elizabeth was only six years old and his fortune was divided among his many children, leaving Elizabeth’s mother and her children with a small fraction of the wealth they once enjoyed. Elizabeth’s mother soon remarried, but quickly divorced her second husband because of abuse, and relocated the family to Pittsburgh. Elizabeth knew that she would need to support herself financially. At the age of 15, she enrolled in the State Normal School in Indiana, Pennsylvania, and an added an “e” to her last name to sound more distinguished. Her plan was to graduate and find a position as a teacher. However, after only a year and a half, Elizabeth ran out of money and could no longer afford the tuition.

    Oprah's Book Club & Book Club

    OPRAH’S BOOK CLUB & BOOK CLUB 2.0 Below is a listing of books highlighting authors and selections chosen by Oprah Winfrey for viewers of her former TV show to read and discuss. Started in 1996, it began as a monthly book club, but now, titles are added sporadically by. DATE TITLE, AUTHOR, CALL NUMBER & DESCRIPTION THE DEEP END OF THE OCEAN, by Jacquelyn Mitchard Call Number: F MITCHARD It happened in a flash. One minute Beth Cappadora was the happily married mother of three. The next, one of 09/1996 them, 3-year-old Ben, was missing. Was he kidnapped? No one knew, and as minutes lengthened into hours, days, weeks, months, years, even the woman police officer obsessed with the case gave up hope. But suddenly something so unexpected happens, it changes everything. SONG OF SOLOMON, by Toni Morrison Call Number: F MORRISON 10/1996 Milkman Dead was born shortly after a neighborhood eccentric hurled himself off a rooftop in a vain attempt at flight. For the rest of his life he, too, will be trying to fly. With this brilliantly imagined novel, Toni Morrison transfigures the coming-of-age story as audaciously as Saul Bellow or Gabriel García Márquez.

    Addition to Summer Letter

    May 2020 Dear Student, You are enrolled in Advanced Placement English Literature and Composition for the coming school year. Bowling Green High School has offered this course since 1983. I thought that I would tell you a little bit about the course and what will be expected of you. Please share this letter with your parents or guardians. A.P. Literature and Composition is a year-long class that is taught on a college freshman level. This means that we will read college level texts—often from college anthologies—and we will deal with other materials generally taught in college. You should be advised that some of these texts are sophisticated and contain mature themes and/or advanced levels of difficulty. In this class we will concentrate on refining reading, writing, and critical analysis skills, as well as personal reactions to literature. A.P. Literature is not a survey course or a history of literature course so instead of studying English and world literature chronologically, we will be studying a mix of classic and contemporary pieces of fiction from all eras and from diverse cultures. This gives us an opportunity to develop more than a superficial understanding of literary works and their ideas. Writing is at the heart of this A.P. course, so you will write often in journals, in both personal and researched essays, and in creative responses. You will need to revise your writing. I have found that even good students—like you—need to refine, mature, and improve their writing skills. You will have to work diligently at revising major essays.
