The festival, which is free and open to the public, will be 2 days this year, Saturday, September 22nd, and Sunday, September 23rd, 2012.

Mr. Thompson also is the author of the graphic novels, "Good-bye, Chunky Rice," "Blankets," and "Carnet de Voyage." Thank you so much for joining us. >> Craig Thompson: Thank you, Jennifer. It's a pleasure to be here. >> Could you tell us a bit about how you got into not just novel writing, but graphic novel writing? Are you an author who happens to draw beautifully, or an artist with a story to tell? >> Craig Thompson: Well, as a child I was really into comic books, and in a sort of natural adult progression fell out of love with the medium around high school, and was really obsessed with film and then animation, and was sort of mapping out possible career animation, and became disillusioned with that for a number of reasons.

AMC Discussion Guide 2016.Indd
IN CINEMAS NEW YEAR’S DAY “Outstanding” Illustrated special collector’s edition The Times “An insanely beautiful writer” Movie tie-in paperback John Green ABOUT THE BOOK An extraordinary novel of love, loss and hope 12.07. There’s a monster at Conor’s window. It’s not the one from his nightmare. But it wants the most dangerous thing of all from Conor. It wants the truth. Now a visually stunning and emotionally powerful film, Patrick Ness’s modern classic is a heartbreaking but uplifting tale of healing and, above all, the courage it takes to survive. DISCUSSION QUESTIONS 1. What does the monster represent to Conor? Do you perceive it as real or as a product of Conor’s imagination? 2. Why does Conor feel so lonely and isolated? Is he right to feel betrayed by Lily? 3. “Stories are wild creatures,” the monster says. “When you let them loose, who knows what havoc they might wreak?” What does the monster mean by this? In which ways does the rest of the novel prove the monster’s point? 4. Discuss the role that humour plays in this novel. Where are the best comic moments? 5. “Sometimes people need to lie to themselves most of all,” the monster tells Conor. In what sense is Conor lying to himself? Is his mother lying to herself? What does each of them need to believe? 6. “This is all sounding pretty fairy tale-ish,” Conor says to the monster. However, the monster’s stories deviate from the traditional fairy tale norm. Why does the monster play with Conor’s expectations? What do the stories teach him? 7.

The Pingry School Summer Reading 2017 Required Reading Entering Form II
The Pingry School Summer Reading 2017 Required Reading Entering Form II Please choose TWO of the following books to read this summer. For your first choice, you will complete the “Summer Reading Questionnaire” posted on the website; for your second choice, you will complete a creative project with your class in September. March Book 1, John Lewis Congressman John Lewis (GA-5) is an American icon, one of the key figures of the civil rights movement. His commitment to justice and nonviolence has taken him from an Alabama sharecropper’s farm to the halls of Congress, from a segregated schoolroom to the 1963 March on Washington, and from receiving beatings from state troopers to receiving the Medal of Freedom from the first African-American president. Now, to share his remarkable story with new generations, Lewis presents March, a graphic novel trilogy, in collaboration with co-writer Andrew Aydin and New York Times best-selling artist Nate Powell (winner of the Eisner Award and LA Times Book Prize finalist for Swallow Me Whole). March is a vivid first-hand account of John Lewis’ lifelong struggle for civil and human rights, meditating in the modern age on the distance traveled since the days of Jim Crow and segregation. Rooted in Lewis’ personal story, it also reflects on the highs and lows of the broader civil rights movement. Book One spans John Lewis’ youth in rural Alabama, his life-changing meeting with Martin Luther King, Jr., the birth of the Nashville Student Movement, and their battle to tear down segregation through nonviolent lunch counter sit-ins, building to a stunning climax on the steps of City Hall.

Monster Walter Dean Myers Alberto Camacho - Engl 112B
Monster Walter Dean Myers https://walterdeanmyers.net/ Alberto Camacho - Engl 112B Walter Dean Myers was born August 12, 1937, in Martinsburg, West Virginia. He was born Walter Milton Myers but after his mom died two years later he was given to Florence and Herbert Dean who lived in Harlem. Mr. Myers life “revolved around his neighborhood and church. The neighborhood protected him and the church guided him.” His speech impediment was often made fun of and he lead with his fists. Mr. Myers wrote Monster in 1999. He was inspired by a boy who was facing trial for a “stick up.” When Myers asked him what his role was in the “stick up,” the boy answered, “I was doing the shooting.” He was switching from 1st to 3rd person and Myers noted that these kids would speak about their lives in 1st person but of their crimes in 3rd person. “They distanced themselves from the crime.” Summary: Monster is a beautiful story that tells us the harsh realities that a black or brown person have to go through when in pursuit of justice. Steve Harmon is a sixteen year old boy who’s on trial for his being “involved in a murder of a drugstore owner.” The trial is set in Harlem and his D.A. believes that since he’s black, race is going to be a factor. Steve narrates the story as a film script, switching scenes or cutting to Steve’s own personal written narratives. His experience with the judicial system is rather optimistic because he knows that he’s not the Monster people are claiming him to be.
