English Honors9 Reading List You may not read books more than once for credit (for summer reading, for class study, and/or for Reading Workshop). You must read three (3) books from this list. You will complete “My Reader’s Journal” for these three (3) books. Due on Monday, August 17. The following is a list of suggested reading for college-bound students. My suggestion for you is to select a book based on one or more of these three criteria: your knowledge of the author, a skimming of the book (read the cover or jacket, a bit of the beginning, and a portion somewhere in the middle.), or advice of others who have recommended the book. You may pick up most of these books at your local library or the Norwell Library Media Center. You may also purchase them at your local bookstores—it’s sometimes nice to have your own copy so that you can write in the book. Several of these books are also available as ebooks. If you have an ereader and your parents don’t mind purchasing the book, I would suggest this format. (Ebooks increase vocabulary because they allow the user to easily look up definitions in context.) I cannot promise that all the books on this list will be free of objectionable material. What is objectionable to one may not be objectionable to another. Choose wisely.

  • Pearl S. Buck and Phenylketonuria (PKU)

    Pearl S. Buck and Phenylketonuria (PKU)

    Journal of the History of the Neurosciences 2004, Vol. 13, No. 1, pp. 44–57 Pearl S. Buck and Phenylketonuria (PKU) Stanley Finger? and Shawn E. Christ Psychology Department, Washington University, St. Louis, MO, USA ABSTRACT In 1921, Pearl S. Buck gave birth to a daughter, Carol, who became severely retarded and was eventually institutionalized at the Vineland Training School in New Jersey. To help pay for her daughter’s care, Buck wrote The Good Earth in 1931, and then other novels and biographies about her life in China, for which she was awarded the Nobel and Pulitzer Prizes, and honored around the world. Years later, she published The Child Who Never Grew, a short piece about her daughter’s retardation that also revealed her desperate search for answers and good clinical care. Asbjørn Følling distinguished phenylketonuria (PKU) from other forms of childhood retardation in the mid-1930s, and new assays and biochemical findings eventually led to ways to circumvent the devastating effects of PKU. But for Carol Buck, these advances came too late. It was not until the 1960s that physicians confirmed that her severe retardation was caused by PKU. Keywords: Pearl S. Buck, Carol Buck, Phenylketonuria (PKU), Mental Retardation, Asbjørn Følling, Vineland Training School, Rehabilitation, The Child Who Never Grew She wrote many fine books and won notable Three months after her birth, the Sydenstrickers prizes, but her major humanitarian work was returned to Chinkiang (Zhenjiang), a port city with children, some of them sadly stigmatized on the Yangtze River in the Kiangsu (Jiangsu) like her own daughter.

    2020-2021 Granville High School Summer Reading List

    2020-2021 Granville High School Summer Reading List Reading over the summer months is critical for students to maintain literary skill. Research shows that students who do not read over the summer demonstrate losses in reading achievement from the end of one school year to the beginning of the next. Therefore, we believe that summer reading is an essential component of the Granville High School curriculum. Students entering grades 9-12 are required to complete their summer reading selections by the first day of the school year. Assessments will vary based on the level of the course, and the GHS Website contains assignments that are intended for completion in conjunction with the reading. Book summaries are provided below courtesy of Barnes and Noble in order to assist in making selections. Works indicated with a (*) symbol are recommended for students enrolled in the Global Scholars Program. Literature Survey and Composition REQUIRED CHOICE READING: Choose ONE book from the following list--you will also be required to view a film version of your chosen book in order to complete the summer assignment. See the film chart on page 2 for an overview. Students who were enrolled in Discovery may not choose Call of the Wild or Tom Sawyer. Alcott, Lousia May - Little Women Generations of readers young and old, male and female, have fallen in love with the March sisters. Here are talented tomboy and author-to-be Jo, tragically frail Beth, beautiful Meg, and romantic, spoiled Amy, united in their devotion to each other and their struggles to survive in New England during the Civil War.
  • Honey, You Know I Can't Hear You When You Aren

    Honey, You Know I Can't Hear You When You Aren

    Networking Knowledge Honey, You Know I Can’t Hear You (Jun. 2017) Honey, You Know I Can’t Hear You When You Aren’t in the Room: Key Female Filmmakers Prove the Importance of Having a Female in the Writing Room DR ROSANNE WELCH, Stephens College MFA in Screenwriting; California State University, Fullerton ABSTRACT The need for more diversity in Hollywood films and television is currently being debated by scholars and content makers alike, but where is the proof that more diverse writers will create more diverse material? Since all forms of art are subjective, there is no perfect way to prove the importance of having female writers in the room except through samples of qualitative case studies of various female writers across the history of film. By studying the writing of several female screenwriters – personal correspondence, interviews and their writing for the screen – this paper will begin to prove that having a female voice in the room has made a difference in several prominent films. It will further hypothesise that greater representation can only create greater opportunity for more female stories and voices to be heard. Research for my PhD dissertation ‘Married: With Screenplay’ involved the work of several prominent female screenwriters across the first century of filmmaking, including Anita Loos, Dorothy Parker, Frances Goodrich and Joan Didion. In all of their memoirs and other writings about working on screenplays, each mentioned the importance of (often) being the lone woman in the room during pitches and during the development of a screenplay. Goodrich summarised all their experiences concisely when she wrote, ‘I’m always the only woman working on the picture and I hold the fate of the women [characters] in my hand… I’ll fight for what the gal will or will not do, and I can be completely unfeminine about it.’ Also, the rise of female directors, such as Barbra Streisand or female production executives, such as Kathleen Kennedy, prove that one of the greatest assets to having a female voice in the room is the ability to invite other women inside.

    Pearl Buck Is One of the Most Popular Novelists of Early Twentieth Century

    ELK Asia Pacific Journals – Special Issue ISBN: 978-81-930411-2-3 TRAJECTORIES OF MULTICULTURAL CONSCIOUSNESS IN PEARL BUCK’S NOVEL ‘COME, MY BELOVED’ Dr.Jeyashree G.Iyer. Associate Professor/ HOD, English Department, Dr. Ambedkar College, Wadala. Mumbai. ABSTRACT: Pearl Buck is one of the most popular novelists of twentieth century. Her novel ‘The Good Earth’ fetched her Pulitzer Prize and the Howells medal in 1935. She was the first American woman to win Nobel Prize for Literature in 1938. Her father was in Christian Missionary who lived in China for forty two years to teach Christianity. Her visit to different countries facilitated her to infuse the essence of multiculturalism in her novels. Her novel ‘Come, My Beloved’ portrays colonial Indian society and duly records the religious confrontation of the east and the west. The dialectical presentation of the motif reveals the expertise of the novelist. The novel registers life journey of three generations of a rich American family, in India during colonial period. This paper attempts to exude how multicultural environment of India confuses a foreigner and also reveals how the west perceives Indian culture and society. Most part of the novel is engaged in intercultural dialogue illuminating clash of ideologies pertaining to culture and religion. The novel displays diverse points of view, plurality of descriptions of the same events. The theme of the novel is chronologically arranged highlighting cultural tensions prevail in India during colonial period. The theme is very relevant today as scholars and philosophers attempt to establish religious tolerance for better society. Pearl Buck’s sincere efforts to create the democratic utopia are lucidly evident but the novel ends with the blatant truth that social inequality and racial discrimination cannot be eradicated from a society easily.
