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. -

Sanctuary Lost: the Air War for ―Portuguese‖ Guinea, 1963-1974
Sanctuary Lost: The Air War for ―Portuguese‖ Guinea, 1963-1974 Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Matthew Martin Hurley, MA Graduate Program in History The Ohio State University 2009 Dissertation Committee: Professor John F. Guilmartin, Jr., Advisor Professor Alan Beyerchen Professor Ousman Kobo Copyright by Matthew Martin Hurley 2009 i Abstract From 1963 to 1974, Portugal and the African Party for the Independence of Guinea and Cape Verde (Partido Africano da Independência da Guiné e Cabo Verde, or PAIGC) waged an increasingly intense war for the independence of ―Portuguese‖ Guinea, then a colony but today the Republic of Guinea-Bissau. For most of this conflict Portugal enjoyed virtually unchallenged air supremacy and increasingly based its strategy on this advantage. The Portuguese Air Force (Força Aérea Portuguesa, abbreviated FAP) consequently played a central role in the war for Guinea, at times threatening the PAIGC with military defeat. Portugal‘s reliance on air power compelled the insurgents to search for an effective counter-measure, and by 1973 they succeeded with their acquisition and employment of the Strela-2 shoulder-fired surface-to-air missile, altering the course of the war and the future of Portugal itself in the process. To date, however, no detailed study of this seminal episode in air power history has been conducted. In an international climate plagued by insurgency, terrorism, and the proliferation of sophisticated weapons, the hard lessons learned by Portugal offer enduring insight to historians and current air power practitioners alike. -
The Korean War, the Cold War, and the American Novel
American Literature Steven The Korean War, the Cold War, Belletto and the American Novel In the summer of 1952, novelist Pat Frank got a call from the United Nations asking him to make a documentary film about Korea. Frank had never been to Korea, nor did he speak the language or have any special knowledge about the Pacific Rim. But the previ- ous year he had published a novel about the Korean War called Hold Back the Night, an accomplishment that apparently qualified him, at least in the eyes of the United Nation’s Korean Reconstruction Agency (UNKRA), to script a film about the war and its effects on the penin- sula. Frank accepted, and recounted his time in Korea in his next book, The Long Way Round (1953). Early on, he explains his charge by quot- ing the agent general of the UNKRA, who requested that the projected film “‘show what has happened to the people of South Korea, what can be done to help them, and tell why it must be done. Thirty million peo- ple have been ground into the muck and dust of Asia on this battle- ground. The struggle is not only between armies, but between systems, ours below the 38th Parallel, theirs above. Which system is better? Which half of Korea will recover first?’” (Frank 1953, 23). Today, a more pointed question might be why an American novelist with only a glancing understanding of Korea and the Korean War could be presumed capable of representing the story of thirty million Kore- ans. Part of the answer rests in the way the agent general represents the “struggle,” a figuration that both emblematizes how Asia was con- ceived in the early Cold War rhetorical frame and that echoes Frank’s own treatment in Hold Back the Night. -

They flew on silver wings, but their valor was golden and remains ever bright, ever fresh. Foreword To some people, the Korean War was just a “police action,” preferring that euphemism to what it really was — a brutal and bloody war involving hundreds of thousands of air, ground, and naval forces from many nations. -

The literature of sport — particularly that of sports reporting — now more than ever has a duty to address these issues of persecution when other media, politicians and everyday spectators remain willfully silent or forcibly helpless. For half a year I’ve been a sportsWriter and reporter for a Weekly paper in Greensboro, North Carolina. In a city famous for oppression and brave defiance, I have endeavored to present the Ways that its citizens use sports for respite and resistance. Stories have involved the role of sports in black communities where struggle and skepticism endure, a non-traditional sport that alloW its participants to revel in community they may never otherWise have found, immigrants and refugees who strive to make a new home while maintaining tradition, the battle against North Carolina’s oppressive HB2, and more. This creative nonfiction piece is an introspective essay about the stories I've worked on, rehashing them Within my presentation but also broadly addressing the discipline as a relatively new reporter, striving to cover sports in a progressive Way and use sports to make effective and necessary political arguments. -
