  • Staying Connected Through Challenging Times
    Ladies for Literacy Guild Newsletter - Summer 2020 Staying Connected Through Challenging Times Dear Ladies Guild Members and Friends, I have been thinking a lot about the word “connection” as it relates to these unusual times and, like many of you, missing the connection of familiar routines. My late father was a Special Forces Green Beret who served three tours of duty in Vietnam. A POW, he came back from his last service a very different man than the one that left Fort Bragg on his first tour. Many years later when I was a teenager, my dad was able to share his experiences with me and what he clung to during those dark, dark days. It was, in short, connections to us that, despite the span of continents, kept us close. Along with sending Polaroids and long letters, my mother recorded me reading my favorite childhood books to share with my dad. Decades later, he told me that hearing the voices of his three girls gave him the strength and hope he needed more than any other time in his life. As we hope and pray for a brighter tomorrow, I am reminded that we have had tough days – yet we have survived them all. With resilience, grit, determination and creative focus, we have and will continue to look for a tomorrow where we can all feel safe to gather again, volunteer in our beloved schools and work in the community to advance the cause of literacy. Until that time, I remain inspired by the optimism and creativity by our Guild members.

  • Metaphors in Politics a Study of the Metaphorical Personification of America in Political Discource
    2007:080 C EXTENDED ESSAY Metaphors in Politics A study of the metaphorical personification of America in political discource IDA VESTERMARK Luleå University of Technology Department of Languages and Culture ENGLISH C Supervisor: Marie Nordlund 2007:080 • ISSN: 1402 - 1773 • ISRN: LTU - CUPP--07/80 - - SE C-EXTENDED ESSAY Metaphors in politics A study of the metaphorical personification of America in political discourse Ida Vestermark Luleå University of Technology Department of Languages and Culture English C Supervisor: Marie Nordlund Abstract The language of politics is a complex issue which includes many strategies of language use to influence the receiver toward a desired attitude or thought. Depending on the aim and conviction of the speaker, the use of language strategies differs. The topic of this essay is metaphors in politics and more specifically the personification of America in the first inaugural addresses by Ronald Reagan, George H W Bush, Bill Clinton and George W Bush. The focus is on how the metaphors are used, how they can be interpreted and what message they send to the receiver. This essay will argue that the conceptual metaphors used in political discourse in the inaugurals are highly intentional, but not always as easy to detect. The rhetorical strategy of conceptualizing America as human is analyzed and the conceptual metaphors accounted for and analyzed are THE WORLD AS A COMMUNITY , NATION AS A PERSON , NATION WITH HUMAN ATTRIBUTES and NATION ACTING AS HUMAN . The conclusion drawn is that the four presidents included all frequently use metaphors to personify the nation with the aim to make the American people identify with and understand their beliefs and goals for America.

  • George H.W. Bush, "Speech at Penn State University" (23 September 1992)
    Voices of Democracy 2 (2007): 126‐151 Hogan & Mehltretter 126 GEORGE H.W. BUSH, "SPEECH AT PENN STATE UNIVERSITY" (23 SEPTEMBER 1992) J. Michael Hogan and Sara Ann Mehltretter Pennsylvania State University Abstract: During the 1992 presidential campaign, President George H. W. Bush lost a lead in the polls and subsequently the presidency to Bill Clinton. This study helps to account for that loss by illuminating weaknesses in his campaign stump speech. Bush's speech at Penn State University reflected his difficulties in distinguishing himself from his challenger and articulating a vision for his second term. The essay also illustrates larger controversies over politics and free speech on campus. Key Words: 1992 presidential election, George H. W. Bush, Bill Clinton, campaign speeches, free speech on campus, Penn State University On September 23, 1992, President George H.W. Bush brought his reelection campaign to the University Park campus of the Pennsylvania State University. Speaking on the steps of Old Main to a cheering crowd of supporters, Bush said little new in the speech. Yet it still proved controversial, not so much because of what Bush said, but because of the way the event was staged. Sparking controversy over the distribution of tickets and the treatment of protestors at the event, Bush's appearance dramatized the difficulties of staging campaign events at colleges and universities. It also raised larger issues about politics and free speech on campus. Bush's speech at Penn State was carefully prepared and vetted by his speech‐ writing staff and White House advisers. Yet despite all the effort that went into the speech, it was vague, uninspired, and unresponsive to criticisms of his administration, reflecting the larger problems with Bush's faltering campaign.

  • Discover What Neil Bush Is Reading
    Summer Issue 2015 School may be out for the summer, but this is a critical time for learning, particularly for children of low-income families and for children who are learning English. In Houston, more than 80 percent of children are considered economically disadvantaged, and approximately one-third are English Language Learners, placing them at-risk for experiencing summer learning loss, oftentimes referred to as the “summer slide.” In essence, research shows that these children lose ground in achievement, while their more affluent peers are actually gaining ground during the summer months. When this happens year after year, without proper interventions or support, the achievement gap widens. In fact, by the 9th grade, children can be as far as two years behind their more affluent peers because of the compounding impact of the summer slide. Several organizations across Houston are providing summer learning programs to help mitigate the summer slide, and they need your help. You can help by volunteering at connect4literacy.org and giving of your time and talent or by donating new or gently used books. Books are an essential tool for learning during the summer months, yet far too many children across Houston do not have access to books in their home – they are a luxury they simply cannot afford. By simply reading at least four books during the summer, the summer slide can be combatted. So, clean out your bookshelves or hold a book drive in your neighborhood, among your Book Club members, or at your church. The Barbara Bush Houston Literacy Foundation will provide a good home for those books through one of our many partner organizations.

  • Four Points of Light in Tribute to George Herbert Walker Bush Chanukah 5779
    Four Points of Light In Tribute to George Herbert Walker Bush Chanukah 5779 As we spent each night this week kindling the exquisite Chanukah candles, it seemed fitting that the nation was remembering George Herbert Walker Bush, who spoke of one thousand points of light. I must admit something of a personal connection to our nation’s forty first president, as, just three days following my fourth birthday, President Bush was the very first public official for whom I cast a vote. Before panicking that those persistent rumors of massive voter fraud are correct, allow me to explain. My parents were on opposite sides of that particular election- I shall not divulge who voted for whom- but I accompanied one of my parents to the voting booth on that Tuesday morning at the Whittier school. I had been given a choice as to which parent I would join, and so, I, knowing my parents divergence on this issue, was left to choose between the Vice President and Governor Dukakis. I chose the right parent, and felt extremely vindicated on Wednesday morning, when my parents told me that the Vice President would become President in just over two months. Not fully understanding the electoral college and its nuances at that stage of my life, and not realizing that Bush carried the state of New Jersey by over 420,000 votes, I was more or less convinced that my choice had been decisive. Shabbat, Chanukah, and Rosh Chodesh, independently, are all days on which we do not eulogize. But, that does not absolve of us of a dual ,חלקו כבוד למלכות ,obligation, both to show respect to national leadership 1 and, to learn the lessons of, whether or not one agreed with his policies, or supported his platform, the life of a remarkable person, not perfect, as no man is, but someone who embodied a time not of politics, but of public service.
