  • 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.

Titles from old lists are no longer available 84 Charing Cross Road by Helene Hanff ( 10 copies ) In 1949 Helene Hanff, ‘a poor writer with an antiquarian taste in books’, wrote to Marks & Co. Booksellers of 84 Charing Cross Rd in search of the rare editions she was unable to find in New York. Her books were dispatched with polite but brisk efficiency. But, seeking further treasures, Helene soon found herself in regular correspondence with book seller Frank Doel, laying siege to his English reserve with her warmth and wit. And, as letters, books and quips crossed the ocean, a friendship flourished that would endure for twenty years. 84k by Claire North (12 copies at Ryde) Theo Miller knows the value of human life - to the very last penny. Working in the Criminal Audit Office, he assesses each crime that crosses his desk and makes sure the correct debt to society is paid in full. But when his ex-lover is killed, it's different. This is one death he can't let become merely an entry on a balance sheet. Because when the richest in the world are getting away with murder, sometimes the numbers just don't add up. The Abortionist’s Daughter by Elizabeth Hyde (12 copies) Two weeks before Christmas, Diana Duprey, an outspoken abortion doctor, is found dead in her swimming pool. A national figure, Diana inspired passion and ignited tempers, but never more so than the day of her death.

  • Full Cast Announced for the Treatment
    PRESS RELEASE Friday 24 February 2017 THE ALMEIDA THEATRE ANNOUNCES THE FULL CAST FOR THE TREATMENT, MARTIN CRIMP’S CONTEMPORARY SATIRE, DIRECTED BY LYNDSEY TURNER CHOREOGRAPHER ARTHUR PITA JOINS THE CREATIVE TEAM Joining Aisling Loftus and Matthew Needham in THE TREATMENT will be Gary Beadle, Ian Gelder, Ben Onwukwe, Julian Ovenden, Ellora Torchia, Indira Varma, and Hara Yannas. The Treatment begins previews at the Almeida Theatre on Monday 24 April and runs until Saturday 10 June. The press night is Friday 28 April. New York. A film studio. A young woman has an urgent story to tell. But here, people are products, movies are money and sex sells. And the rights to your life can be a dangerous commodity to exploit. Martin Crimp’s contemporary satire is directed by Lyndsey Turner, who returns to the Almeida following her award-winning production of Chimerica. The Treatment will be designed by Giles Cadle, with lighting by Neil Austin, composition by Rupert Cross, fight direction by Bret Yount, sound by Chris Shutt, and voice coaching by Charmian Hoare. The choreographer is Arthur Pita. Casting is by Julia Horan. ALMEIDA QUESTIONS In response to The Treatment - where it’s material that matters – Whose Life Is It Anyway? continues the Almeida’s programme of pre-show discussions as a panel delves into the worldwide fascination with constructed realities in art and in life. When you sell your story is your life still your own? In the golden age of social media - where immaculately contrived worlds are labelled as real life - what is the cost? Can truth be traced in art at all? The panel includes Instagram star Deliciously Stella, Made In Chelsea producer Nick Arnold, and Anita Biressi, Professor of Media and Communications at Roehampton University.

But there is something I want to capture. It has to do with the feeling…the queer separate feeling. I like seeing people when they can’t see me. I have often looked at our family through lighted windows and they seem quite different, a bit the way rooms seen in looking-glasses do. I can’t get the feeling into words – it slipped away when I tried to capture it.1 Dodie Smith, I Capture The Castle (1949) We keep a journal to entrap that collection of selves that forms us, the individual human being…a true journal presents us with the more riotous and disorganized reality. The various stages of development are there, but they are jumbled up, counterposed and repeated randomly. The selves jostle for prominence in these pages…I am all these different people and all these different people are me.

  • Restless by William Boyd
    Restless by William Boyd ‘Death may occur this very afternoon.’- Marcel Proust Historical Background – Real Spies Restless is based on the little known fact that there were a huge number of British spies in America in1940. American society and the political climate were markedly different from today. Eighty percent of Americans were opposed to war; the government was anti-interventionist; and there was no ‘special relationship’ with Britain, as there is now. The British government under Churchill was desperate for the US to join them in the war effort, so they set up a massive ‘British Security Coordination’ (BSC) office in New York. The BSC’s role was to ‘persuade’ the American people to help Britain. Employing up to 3000 personnel, the BSC planted propaganda with journalists and newspapers, manipulated radio with fake news, and generally played up the Nazi threat. The episode in the novel with Nazi maps of the Americas, is authentic. Of course it wasn’t the BSC that turned the tide of American involvement – it was the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbour and Hitler’s declaration of war on the US. James Bond is possibly the most well-known spy in fiction. But author Ian Fleming admits that ‘Bond is a highly romanticized version of a true spy. The real thing is...William Stephenson.’ Stephenson was a Canadian war hero and spymaster who ran the BSC office in New York – and no doubt an inspiration for the characters in Restless. The BSC’s covert actions are not part of the official canon of heroic World War Two stories.

  • The Bride of the Sky, a Poetic Play Written in 1924, Has Remained Unpublished to This Day
    INTRODUCTION The Bride of the Sky, a poetic play written in 1924, has remained unpublished to this day. It is a remarkable piece of literature of its kind, that is, idealistic-romantic. A nymph of the sky falling in love with a man of the earth affords a theme which has captivated the minds of men in all ages and climes. Venus and Adonis, in the West, and Urvashi and Pururvasa, in India, have given to world literature poetry and drama of the noblest stature. In this poetic play the characters have not been given any names (except the nymph in the second half), on which technical point Puran Singh may be said to have anticipated a modernist tendency. But, as he claims, the characters have persistent individualities which serve for names equally well. The story is simple but has vast dimensions, like a geometric or cubist drawing. A nymph is flying about in the earthly air when a young man sees her. He instantly falls in love with her. The nymph responds to his love, comes down to the earth and stays with him for a day and a moonlit night, and then flies back to heaven. The young man goes mad from the ecstatic pain of love. But his madness is heightened by a mystic silence which makes the people around hail him as a saint. Then again one day the nymph ‘steals away from the side of heaven’ and ‘appears in the crowd wearing the earthly guise of woman. The young ascetic ran into her arms. over- whelmed her with his kisses.
