Grade 4 Library Week 5 Butterfly Lion book promotion Dear Grade 4s and your Parents Every year in Grade 4 library, I do a book promotion of Butterfly Lion by Michael Morpurgo Michael Morpurgo is a very highly regarded writer for children and I particularly love to promote this book as it has links to South Africa and the famous white lions of Timbavati. So first, I will take you to Michael Morpurgo’s official website …. https://www.michaelmorpurgo.com/ Whenever I go onto a website like this, I first look at all the books the author has written and boy, Michael Morpurgo has written many! Then I like to find out about the author’s life, which you can do here: https://www.michaelmorpurgo.com/about-michael-morpurgo/ So why do I choose to recommend Butterfly Lion to grade 4s? Well, it is actually a story within a story. It starts with a boy Michael, who runs away from his boarding school. He comes across a house and meets the old woman, Millie, who lives there. She tells him an amazing story about a boy and a white lion who became friends. This story takes place in southern Africa and is the story of a young boy who rescues an orphaned white lion cub from the African bush. They remain inseparable until Bertie has to go away to boarding school and the lion is sold to a circus. Years later they are reunited, until the lion gently dies of old age. Here is the author himself reading chapter one of Butterfly Lion, so this will give you a taste of the story: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YVQd2li8CgQ The white lion cub that Bertie befriends is based on the true fact that rare white lions have been observed for many years in the Timbavati area, near Kruger Park. Here is some footage of white lions for you to watch. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R0xCBOVVGQQ And if you are a NMB library card holder, here are some other Michael Morpurgo e-books which you could borrow and read from the public library. Lastly, I have included a pdf of questions on chapter 1 on which you could type your answers after listening to Michael Morpurgo read. And a colour in picture, only if you have a printer and enough ink and would enjoy colouring it. No need to do so if you don’t – rather save the ink for your class work. Warm regards and happy reading, Mrs Bentley .

PERFORMED IDENTITIES: HEAVY METAL MUSICIANS BETWEEN 1984 and 1991 Bradley C. Klypchak a Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate
PERFORMED IDENTITIES: HEAVY METAL MUSICIANS BETWEEN 1984 AND 1991 Bradley C. Klypchak A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY May 2007 Committee: Dr. Jeffrey A. Brown, Advisor Dr. John Makay Graduate Faculty Representative Dr. Ron E. Shields Dr. Don McQuarie © 2007 Bradley C. Klypchak All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Dr. Jeffrey A. Brown, Advisor Between 1984 and 1991, heavy metal became one of the most publicly popular and commercially successful rock music subgenres. The focus of this dissertation is to explore the following research questions: How did the subculture of heavy metal music between 1984 and 1991 evolve and what meanings can be derived from this ongoing process? How did the contextual circumstances surrounding heavy metal music during this period impact the performative choices exhibited by artists, and from a position of retrospection, what lasting significance does this particular era of heavy metal merit today? A textual analysis of metal- related materials fostered the development of themes relating to the selective choices made and performances enacted by metal artists. These themes were then considered in terms of gender, sexuality, race, and age constructions as well as the ongoing negotiations of the metal artist within multiple performative realms. Occurring at the juncture of art and commerce, heavy metal music is a purposeful construction. Metal musicians made performative choices for serving particular aims, be it fame, wealth, or art. These same individuals worked within a greater system of influence. Metal bands were the contracted employees of record labels whose own corporate aims needed to be recognized.

When a beautiful white lion, Charlie, is born, Mia finds happiness once again and develops a special bond with the growing cub. When Charlie reaches three, Mia’s life is rocked once again as she uncovers an upsetting secret kept hidden by her father. Distraught by the thought that Charlie could be in harm, Mia decides to run away with him. The two friends set out on an incredible journey across the South African savanna in search of another land where Charlie can live out his life in freedom. GILLES DE MAISTRE INTERVIEW Director Where did the idea for the story come from? It goes back years. I shot a series about children around the world who have deep bonds with wild animals for a French television documentary. My research took me to South Africa, where I filmed a child whose parents had a lion-breeding farm. They bred lions for conservation purposes - or so they claimed. The end goal was to sell them on to zoos and wildlife parks, to celebrate the king of animals in all its glory, and sometimes even to rewild them. There was a 10-year-old boy there who was in love with the lions.

MIKE TRAMP's WHITE LION Last Roar (Hard Rock)
MIKE TRAMP'S WHITE LION Last roar (Hard Rock) Année de sortie : 2004 Nombre de pistes : 64 Durée : 12' Support : CD Provenance : Reçu du label Le chanteur danois Mike TRAMP fut dans les années 80’ et début 90’ le talentueux chanteur du groupe américain WHITE LION. Quatre albums couronnèrent la trop courte carrière d’un groupe resté dans les mémoires du hard rock et des hard rockers. Hyper inspirés, Fight To Survive (1985), Pride (1987), Big Game (1989), Mane Attraction (1991) imposèrent le Lion Blanc parmi l’élite et révélèrent un guitariste d’exception, M. Vito BRATTA. La section rythmique était quant à elle composée de James LORENZO à la basse et Greg D’ANGELO aux baguettes. Les meilleures choses devant apparemment connaître une fin, M. Vito BRATTA disparu de la circulation et Mike TRAMP poursuivit sa carrière avec FREAK KITCHEN et en publiant régulièrement des albums solos. La section rythmique se fit entendre aussi sur diverses réalisations. Mike TRAMP décida pour sa part, en l’année 1999 de réenregistrer, avec des musiciens amis, cette rétrospective composée de 12 covers repensés de bien belle manière. Les esprits dérangés crieront à la démarche mercantile et se tromperont sur toute la ligne. Car ce Last Roar, enfin disponible chez nous, respire la sincérité, le talent et l’inspiration. Les compositions de départ du duo TRAMP / BRATTA respirent la mélodie et la classe et s’attaquer à ce patrimoine aurait pu être un combat de trop. Mais le lion voulait encore rugir et le boulot de TRAMP et ses amis mérite un grand respect.
