  • 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.

"Reviews." Marvels & Tales 34.2 (2021). Web. <https://digitalcommons.wayne.edu/ marvels/vol34/iss2/9>. REVIEWS Dancing on Blades: Rare and Exquisite Folktales from the Carpathian Mountains. By Csenge Zalka, Parkhurst Brothers, 2018, 208 pp. Csenge Zalka’s Dancing on Blades offers a unique look into a tale collection native to the Transcarpathian region of Hungary. It is an important and valuable contribution to oral literatures of Europe because it positions the tales of one storyteller, Pályuk Anna, in the context of other European folktale types and traditions while preserving the storyteller’s originality. Additionally, in her notes, Zalka provides not only context with which to better understand the folktales, but content suggestions for future storytellers. Thus, this text represents not only an academic work documenting a single storyteller’s repertoire, but a mode through which the storytelling tradition of Pályuk Anna is passed on. Zalka’s work begins with introductory material explaining how she came to find the repertoire of Pályuk Anna and a brief biography of the nineteenth- century storyteller, whose stories were collected by Szirmai Fóris Mária between 1915 and 1950. If one is familiar with Linda Dégh’s Folktales in Society: Storytelling in a Hungarian Peasant Community (1969), they would find Pályuk Anna’s profile to be reminiscent of the storytellers studied by Dégh. One of the most folktale-esque features of the storyteller herself is that, “after moving from her Rusyn village to her Hungarian one, Anna lived in three different countries between the ages of 60 and 93 without ever leaving her house” (11).
