"The Story of a Dead Man" Was Published in the 1978 Short Story Collection, Elbow Room by James Alan Mcpherson
"The Story of a Dead Man" was published in the 1978 short story collection, Elbow Room by James Alan McPherson. That collection won the 1978 Pulitzer Prize for fiction the first awarded to an African American for fiction writing. Prof. McPherson taught at the prestigious Iowa Writer's Workshop at U of IA for decades, where he mentored some of our best living writers. He died in the summer of 2016. Please be aware: This story contains strong language, both racist and misogynistic. The story contains a degree of violence and criminality. Nonetheless, the story is profoundly humorous and humane. Please pay special attention to the way McPherson is using class distinctions in his story. -rgk The Story of a Dead Man 33 The Story way back from Harvey after reclaiming a defaulted of a Dead Man Chevy. Neither is it true, as certain of his enemies have maintained, that Billy's left eye was lost during a rumble with that red-neck storekeep outside Limehouse, South '- Carolina. That eye, I now have reason to believe, was lost during domestic troubles. That is quite another story. But I have this full account of the Limehouse difficulty: Billy had stopped off there en route to Charleston to repossess another defaulting car for this same Mr. Floyd Dil lingham. He entered the general store with the sole inten tion of buying a big orange soda.

REALISM Realism Is As Old As the Human Race. No Doubt Primeval
REALISM Realism is as old as the human race. No doubt primeval hunters returning from their adventures told stories with rhetoric and gestures intended to evoke an “illusion of real life,” in the phrase of Henry James. Realism is relative, with visions of reality varying from teller to teller, culture to culture and generation to generation. It must be defined in historical context by intention, subject, themes, focus, techniques and style. The Realist movement in American fiction after the Civil War refers to shared intentions of writers as different as Twain and James, opposite poles of sensibility who were contemptuous of each other. Due to such diversity, the only major American writer whose work as a whole could illustrate standard or typical “Realism” as defined by prevailing literary criticism (his own, which emphasizes the commonplace) is William Dean Howells, its characteristics well exemplified in his story “Editha” and his novel The Rise of Silas Lapham (1885). In practice, some of the best examples of pure commonplace Realism are short stories by local color writers such as Mary Wilkins Freeman. Though literary Realism is understood as the opposite of Romance, and Expressionism, the romancers developed techniques of realism to make their stories plausible. In 1826 the word realisme was used in France to describe a literary method that imitated Nature, in contrast to Classicism. However, as Realism developed, it opposed Romanticism and its aesthetics became Neoclassical. In the United States one of the first examples of Realism--realistic for the most part--is “Life in the Iron Mills” (1861) by Rebecca Harding Davis, sympathetic to workers and the lower class against the upper, in the manner of Charles Dickens.

Creative Writing (Iowa Writers' Workshop) 1
Creative Writing (Iowa Writers' Workshop) 1 Creative Writing (Iowa Writers' Workshop) Director • Lan Samantha Chang Graduate degree: M.F.A. in English Faculty: https://writersworkshop.uiowa.edu/people Website: https://writersworkshop.uiowa.edu/ The Creative Writing Program (Iowa Writers' Workshop) is a world-renowned graduate program for fiction writers and poets. Founded in 1936, it was the first creative writing program in the United States to offer a degree, and it became a model for many contemporary writing programs. In addition to its Master of Fine Arts program, it also offers writing courses for undergraduates. The Iowa Writers' Workshop has been home to thousands of remarkable writers, including Flannery O'Connor, Raymond Carver, Rita Dove, John Irving, James Alan McPherson, Philip Levine, Jane Smiley, Michael Cunningham, Sandra Cisneros, Denis Johnson, Jorie Graham, Ann Patchett, D.A. Powell, Nathan Englander, Yiyun Li, Eleanor Catton, Angela Flournoy, Garth Greenwell, Yaa Gyasi, and Jamel Brinkley. The program's faculty and alumni include winners of virtually every major literary award, including seventeen winners of the Pulitzer Prize (most recently Paul Harding in 2010), six recent U.S. Poets Laureate, and numerous winners of the National Book Award, MacArthur Foundation Fellowships, and other major honors. In 2003, the Iowa Writers' Workshop received a National Humanities Medal from the National Endowment for the Humanities—the first awarded to a university and only the second given to an institution rather than an individual. The Creative Writing Program offers courses for students from other programs of study; summer courses are open to undergraduate and graduate students.

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.

Specifical ly, the direct way of asserting Ernest Frost's quality is to postulate Graham Greene, shorn of clerical masochism, rising to the full limits of his promise. Writing with verve and lyric nervousness of a cauldron of unholy loves in present-day London, Frost sounds the extreme notes that all of us can read in the living scale but can rarely harmonize: the notes of tenderness, of revulsion, of de~pair, of cold clarity, of hope and bewilderment. Frost is on the side of life but he is hard at the core; as a result, his insights and characterizations emanate an oblique beauty of expression which is best appreciated by generous quotation of his theme and variations: WeB, it's curious, seel A sort of deranged reasonableness about people living in cities which are lighted up for the peace, but it isn't really peace, and everyone's still at war within themselves.

With the beginning of World War II many teenage girls took on jobs that were left vacant by men. With these new jobs came the opportunity to gain financial independence. However, teenage girls, along with their mothers, were expected to leave their jobs once soldiers returned from war. Thus, there was a gap between the actual experiences of teenage girls and what they were expected to be—Rosie the Riveters who were willing to become housewives at the end of the war. This gap between actual experiences and societal expectations has lent itself to typifying even fictional girls into either “bad girls” or “good girls.” In this project I take a deeper look at how social discourses—specifically the boom in the wedding industry, a renewed obsession with anything Western related, department store sections catered directly to teenagers, and scrapbook making—greatly affected the coming---of---process for teenage girls.
