  • Sacred Hunger by Barry Unsworth (1993) - Not Even Past
    Sacred Hunger by Barry Unsworth (1993) - Not Even Past BOOKS FILMS & MEDIA THE PUBLIC HISTORIAN BLOG TEXAS OUR/STORIES STUDENTS ABOUT 15 MINUTE HISTORY "The past is never dead. It's not even past." William Faulkner NOT EVEN PAST Tweet 0 Like THE PUBLIC HISTORIAN Sacred Hunger by Barry Unsworth (1993) Making History: Houston’s “Spirit of the by Robert A. Olwell Confederacy” Sacred Hunger, a novel by Barry Unsworth (which was awarded the 1992 Booker Prize) is the story of a single ship and a single voyage. The novel begins in 1752, in Liverpool, England. The Royal African Company, a chartered corporation created in the mid- 17th-century with a monopoly on trade with the African coast, has just lost the last of its privileges, making the slave trade, for the first time, a “free trade” (all irony intended). Inspired by the promise of lucrative profits, a May 06, 2020 Liverpool merchant, William Kemp, commissions the construction of a ship to engage in the newly opened More from The Public Historian trade. Before the ship sets sail, Kemp engages his nephew, Matthew Paris, a disgraced apothecary, to serve as the ship’s surgeon. BOOKS In the scales of Kemp’s complacent morality, his good America for Americans: A History of deed in “saving” Paris, will be amply repaid in the Xenophobia in the United States by healthier and more valuable slaves that his ship will be Erika Lee (2019) able to sell once it reaches America. This fictional view closely mirrors that of Thomas Jefferson, who once wrote that masters who spared pregnant slave women from field labor were wise as well as kind, for “a child raised every 2 years is of more profit than the crop of the best laboring man.” To Jefferson, this happy equation revealed the hand of an enlightened creator in making “our interest and our duties coincide perfectly.” April 20, 2020 In the chapters that follow the ship’s arrival on the African coast, Unsworth vividly and accurately describes the painstaking and painful process by which a slave ship “made” a cargo in the mid-18th- More Books century.

  • K. Kusano 1 Kaede Kusano Mr. Ahumada ENG 4U1-09 28
    K. Kusano 1 Kaede Kusano Mr. Ahumada ENG 4U1-09 28 September 2018 The Human Stain ’s Lasting Mark ​ Set in 1998, The Human Stain by Philip Roth centers around veteran professor Coleman ​ ​ Silk, who loses his job over accusations of racism surrounding a comment made about two students. His resignation precedes the death of his wife and another scandal, an affair with a woman thirty years his junior. As his life continues to unravel, Silk’s identity and history are explored, leaving a lifelong secret to be unearthed. The novel is the final installment of The ​ American Trilogy, which consists of two other works, American Pastoral (1997) and I Married a ​ ​ ​ ​ Communist (1998). Furthermore, Roth has penned over twenty-two other novels (Roth), earning ​ him many awards including the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction and The National Book Award over his career of fifty years (PBS). Though, his success does not come without controversy; Roth has ​ ​ faced backlash due to the explicit nature of some of his narratives, as well as his satirical response to anti-Semitism (Roth). I took to this novel due to its mature themes and heavier subject matter. I prefer to be around people my senior, and enjoy both literature and films that focus on the lives of adults, such as Big Little Lies by Liane Moriarty, a television series and ​ ​ novel that revolves around three mothers in an affluent Californian town. Additionally, the level of difficulty was enticing because I appreciate a challenging read. Roth’s writing is sharp, with notes of lewdness that compliment and balance out the beautiful imagery that immerses the reader in the narrative.

  • 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.
