A.P. Literature ~ Short Story Project Mr. Bills Welcome to the Library! For A.P. Literature ~ Short Story Project Mr. Bills Welcome to the library! For this task, we have several sources for you to use. Our Story Collection is located by the main library doors. Story collections are books of collected stories either by author (example, SC KIN for a book of short stories by Stephen King) or by theme (Best American Science Fiction, Gothic tales, crime stories). We’ve pulled some for you; feel free to take a look. To find an author or short story of literary merit: Using the online catalog: Do an author search in the catalog. Ex. hemingway, ernest Look for the title of the short story or titles like "Collected Works," "Complete Works," or "Selected Works." Some records will list the stories contained in the collection. Another way to locate short stories is to see if they are part of an anthology or other collection. Try a keyword in the online catalog Ex. edgar allan poe AND stories tell tale heart Using Online Sources: Databases: Poetry and Short Story Center– search by author or title. Icons help you easily identify the type of result (short story, review, academic journal, periodical, book, etc.). Read the short description in the result to determine if it works for your search, i.e. is a short story to read). Literary Reference Center- search by author or short story titles. Results may be Books, Reviews, Academic Journals, or Periodicals. For short stories published in magazines, you want to take a close look at the results labeled Periodicals. Reminder – username and passwords are required to access from home (U = lcpsh, PW = high) Websites: The New Yorker – use the search box (upper right); also use the Archive link The Atlantic – search for story or author Donahue 2016 Harper’s - Be sure your results are identified as Fiction for this project as Harper’s has Articles, Essays, Stories, etc. that are not short stories. Scroll down and download or print PDF. Common Lit – website with a variety of works (news articles, essays, drama, short stories, etc.) organized by theme and grade recommendation. Not the easiest to search for living author. You will need to skim to find short stories. Print Sources: WE have many Short Story Collections in the library. The anthologies of works are organized in a variety of ways: author, country/heritage, topic/themes, and dates. If you like scary stories, there are collections of those. Like sports writing? We have short story collections for those too. The librarians will have some books pulled for you; check the Story Collection shelves for additional titles. We also have back copies of The New Yorker available for you to check out, copy, or read. Use the table of contents to find “Fiction.” Not sure if an author is alive? Try these reliable sources: Author’s official webpage or publisher’s webpage, Biography.com, or Biography in Context. Wikipeida may be reliable, but I have found that recent deaths have sometimes not yet been reflected in the entries. If you need sources for your analysis, try these: Short Stories for Students REF 809.3 SHO (multiple volumes) Short Story Criticism REF 809.3 SHO Literary Reference Center – online database You can also use the online catalog to search for criticism books about your author.

  • 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.

  • Karina Van Dalen-Oskam
    Karina van Dalen-Oskam Huygens Institute for the History of the Netherlands (Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences), The Hague Personal names in literature: a quantitative approach1 1 Introduction Is it possible to write a novel that does not have a single personal name in it? Or better perhaps: a readable novel? Undoubtedly there are more, but I know of only one that does not contain any names, be it personal, geographical, or other: Blindness, a novel by the Portugese 1998 Nobel Prize winner José Saramago. The novel describes how an unexplained mass epidemic of blindness afflicts nearly everyone in an unnamed city and depicts the horrible social breakdown that follows. The epidemic ends just as sudden and unexplained as it started. The characters in this novel do not get a name, but they are described with a noun phrase referring to what they are: the doctor, the doctor’s wife, the first blind man, the old man with the black eyepatch, the girl with dark glasses, the boy with the squint.2 Formally these noun phrases are not names but they are uniquely referring in the story world of the novel and thus share an important function with names. The avoidance of names has a clear function in the story, as can be illustrated with a quotation from the first part of the novel. Most of the main characters, being the very first group of people that went blind, have been placed in quarantine in an asylum. When a new group of blind men and women arrive in their ward, The doctor's wife remarked, It would be best if they could be counted and each person gave their name.

This page- turning novel with its in-the-news presence, believable characters and excellent reviews was overshadowed by a public conversation about whether the author practiced cultural appropriation by writing a story which might have been have been best told by a writer who is Latinx. Multicultural Fiction. 400 pages The Book Woman of Troublesome Creek by Kim Michele Richardson Kentucky during the Depression is the setting of this appealing historical fiction title about the federally funded pack-horse librarians who delivered books to poverty-stricken people living in the back woods of the Appalachian Mountains. Librarian Cussy Mary Carter is a 19-year-old who lives in Troublesome Creek, Kentucky with her father and must contend not only with riding a mule in treacherous terrain to deliver books, but also with the discrimination she suffers because she has blue skin, the result of a rare genetic condition. Both personable and dedicated, Cussy is a sympathetic character and the hardships that she and the others suffer in rural Kentucky will keep readers engaged.

  • A Kachruvian Study of Ha Jin's Chineseness In
    Concentric: Literary and Cultural Studies September 2016: 195-220 DOI: 10.6240/concentric.lit.2016.42.2.11 “All the Guns Must Have the Same Caliber”: A Kachruvian Study of Ha Jin’s Chineseness in “Winds and Clouds over a Funeral” José R. Ibáñez Department of Philology University of Almeria, Spain Abstract This article analyzes Ha Jin’s “Winds and Clouds over a Funeral” within a Kachruvian framework. Firstly, it examines Braj B. Kachru’s concepts of “contact literature” and the “bilingual’s creativity” in that both of these undermine the traditional homogeneity of a monolingual conceptualization of the English language. I then offer an overview of Kachru’s taxonomical model as a means of explaining the cultural, grammatical and linguistic alterations in the creativity of bilinguals, especially that of writers who use English as a second language. In this regard, and bearing in mind Haoming Gong’s concept of “translation literature,” I explore Ha Jin’s “Winds and Clouds over a Funeral” in terms of the linguistic processes and nativization strategies employed by this Chinese-American author in order to transfer cultural aspects from his native language, Chinese. Through this I aim to reveal and describe the hybrid nature of the work of Ha Jin, a writer who I believe is paving the way for a reassessment of Asian-American fiction in the United States. Keywords Kachruvian framework, bilingual’s creativity, contact literatures, hybridity, Chinese English I would like to thank the anonymous reviewers for their insightful comments and constructive suggestions. The research on this paper was supported by the project CEIPatrimonio, University of Almeria.

  • View with Ha Jin
    WRITING SHORT FICTION FROM EXILE. AN INTER- VIEW WITH HA JIN Jose Ramón Ibáñez Ibáñez, Universidad de Almería15 Email: jibanez@ual .es During the last two decades, Jīn Xuĕfēi, who goes under the pen–name of Ha Jin, has emerged as one of the most prominent Asian–American writers in America, with works in fiction, poetry and essays dealing with the Chinese experience in China and the U.S. Born in 1956 in the Chinese province of Liaoning, Ha Jin’s life has been strongly marked by po- litical and sociological events occurring in contemporary China. His father was an officer in the Red Army who was transferred around various provinces for years. This continuous change of residence gave young Jin the opportunity to discover remote regions, meet people and get acquainted with Chinese traditions and customs. Ha Jin was ten years old when Mao Zedong launched the Cultural Revolution, which aimed at removing capitalism and Chinese traditions by way of the strict implementation of communism. Colleges were closed for ten years and many young people became Red Guards, an armed revolutionary youth organization aiming to eradicate the ‘four Olds’ – Old Customs, Old Culture, Old Habits and Old Ideas – which were described as anti– proletarian. At the age of thirteen, Ha Jin joined the People’s Liberation Army as a way of leaving home as he declared in different interviews (Gardner 2000; Weinberger, 2007; Fay 2009). While in the army, he worked as a telegrapher, a post which allowed him some free time to read literature and educate himself. He left the army in 1975 and worked for three years in a railway company.
