ALSO BY KIM BARNES FICTION A Country Called Home Finding Caruso NON-FICTION In the Wilderness: Coming of Age in Unknown Country Hungry for the World: A Memoir Praise for In the Kingdom of Men ‘Arresting . A richly wrought historical novel . Barnes seems incapable of writing a lazy sentence. It would be easy enough to enjoy her novel for its images alone — Gin learning to roast coffee beans over an open fire and milk camels straight into enamel bowls; the local children who line their eyes with kohl and drip with precious stones — but its feats are more than just descriptive. We have here the portrait of a woman whose ambitions outsize the time and place she lives, and also of what happens to a marriage when taken out of a familiar context.

  • Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} 13 Days to Glory the Siege of the Alamo by Lon Tinkle ISBN 13: 9780890967072
    Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} 13 Days to Glory The Siege of the Alamo by Lon Tinkle ISBN 13: 9780890967072. 13 Days to Glory: The Siege of the Alamo (Volume 2) (Southwest Landmarks) Tinkle, Lon. This specific ISBN edition is currently not available. In thirteen chapters, Lon Tinkle tells the day-by-day story of how 182 men fought a losing battle but won for their cause an almost unparalleled measure of fame. The familiar figures appear on these pages: stern young Colonel William Barret Travis; the middle-aged fighter Jim Bowie, who contested the young upstart’s comand; famous frontiersman Davy Crockett, soon to have his stock in legend rise even higher. Echoing the shot heard round the world in 1776, the volleys fired by the Alamo defenders were aimed at the large and well-outfitted army of Santa Anna, self-styled “Napoleon of the West.” As the days of the siege are described, the author cinematically flashes back to pivotal points of destiny—the circumstance that led each person to be inside the walls of the abandoned mission late in the winter of 1836. Susanna Dickinson, captured after the mission fell, recalls the day she headed for a wedding and wound up eloping to Texas with the intended groom, an old flame of her own. Travis left Alabama under a cloud, having privately admitted to committing a murder. Bowie, having lost his wife, children, and wealthy in-laws to a cholera epidemic, now devoted his energies to saving his extensive landholdings in Texas. Crockett, stung by the loss of his seat in Congress, concluded to light out for the territory of Texas, where land prices were one-tenth of those in America but where American frontier traditions again had to be secured through revolution.

  • 2020-2021 Summer Reading Projects
    2020-2021 Summer Reading Projects Due to the unique circumstances, Summer Reading will look a bit different this year. First, why are we expecting students to participate in summer reading? We chose to continue our summer reading requirement be- cause it is crucial to fighting summer learning loss. Below is an infograph- ic that summarizes what we know about how much information and skills can decline during summer break. Summer reading is an important tool to reconnect with those skills. This summer reading project will require students to choose their own book to read. Chosen books must meet the following requirements: 1. The book can be fiction or non-fiction. 2. The book must be written for adults or young adults (YA literature). 3. The book must be primarily text-focused (no graphic novels, manga, comic books, etc.) 4. The book must be 250 pages or more. After reading the book, students will complete one project (see choices and rubric on page 4). Remember that all projects include a writing component. During the first week of school students and teachers will discuss the books and share stu- dent projects. This gives both students and teachers the chance to connect to the litera- ture by sharing their reactions, questions, and insights. Summer reading also counts as a significant grade for English classes. To make sure everyone has access to books, we included a list of resources for books on page 3. Our resource list was designed to ac- commodate everyone’s limited access to li- braries and stores due to Covid-19 restrictions.
