  • 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.

In our globalized era, it is tempting to imagine that urban experiences have a quality of sameness: skyscrapers, subways and chain stores; a density of bricks and humanity; a sense of urgency and striving. The essays in Mthis collection make clear how wrong that assumption would be: from the dreamland of Jonathan Kellerman’s Los Angeles to the vibrant awakening of Edna Buchanan’s Miami; from the mid-century tenements of Pete Hamill’s beloved Brooklyn to the haunted viaducts of Stuart Dybek’s Pilsen neighborhood in Chicago; from the natural beauty and human diversity of Charles Johnson’s Seattle to the past and present myths of Richard Ford’s New Orleans, these reminiscences and musings conjure for us the richness and strangeness of any individual’s urban life, the way that our Claire Messud is the author of three imaginations and identities and literary histories are intertwined in a novels and a book of novellas.

  • Anne Tyler's the Amateur Marriage As a Domestic Tragedy
    IRWLE VOL. 10 No. II July 2014 1 Anne Tyler’s The Amateur Marriage as a Domestic Tragedy – A Study Megala Devi American literature in the twentieth century was reshaped by the effects of the Civil rights movement and Women’s Liberation Movements on the American society. The fiction written by women in the twentieth century was the reflection of the position of women in the American culture. Women who wrote modernist fiction were no longer bound within the boundaries established by their predecessors. Changes were implemented in form and content by approaches that were new and focus was more on the expanding world. Women began to write about a number of taboo subjects such as adultery, abortion and divorce, simultaneously exposing the myth of familial perfection. Particularly, Anne Tyler is considered as one of the best novelists of the modern American fiction. Her fiction, focus on dysfunctional family relationships. Critics and reviewers often compare Tyler to the key figures of the South and she is seen as a representative of the Southern Writers. Anne Tyler was born on October 25, 1941 in Minneapolis, Minnesota. She spent her early childhood in various communes in the Midwest and the South with her three younger brothers and her parents, who were active members of the Quaker community and also long-time activists for liberal causes. Initially she was educated at these communes and only at the age of eleven, she attended Public school in Raleigh, North Carolina. Later she attended Duke University on scholarship and graduated from Phi Beta Kappa at the age of nineteen with a degree in Russian.

    FREE BREATHING LESSONS PDF Anne Tyler | 336 pages | 03 Jan 1998 | Vintage Publishing | 9780099201410 | English | London, United Kingdom Breathing Lessons by Anne Tyler Unfolding over the course of a single emotionally fraught day, this stunning novel encompasses a lifetime of dreams, regrets and reckonings. Where Maggie is quirky, lovable and mischievous, Ira is practical, methodical and mired in reason. What begins as a day trip becomes a revelatory and unexpected journey, as Ira and Maggie rediscover the strength of their bond and the joy of having somebody with whom to share the ride, bumps and all. Tyler is known for offbeat characters, and Maggie Moran is one of her most endearing. Deer Lick lay on a narrow country road some ninety miles Breathing Lessons of Baltimore, and the funeral was scheduled for ten-thirty Saturday Breathing Lessons so Ira figured they should start around eight. This made him grumpy. He was not an early-morning kind of man. Also Saturday was his busiest day at work, and he had no one to cover for him. Also their car was in the body shop. She and Serena had been friends forever. They planned to wake up at seven, but Maggie must have set the alarm wrong and so they overslept. They had to dress in a hurry and rush through breakfast, making do with faucet coffee and cold cereal. Then Ira headed off for the store on foot to leave a note for his customers, and Maggie walked to the body shop. She was wearing her best dress —blue and white sprigged, with cape sleeves—and crisp black pumps, on account of the funeral.
