    Devil in the Grove Review

    CLSC BOOK REVIEW DEVIL IN THE GROVE BY GILBERT KING REPORTED BY MICHAEL J. GELFAND MONDAY JULY 6, 2015 How could this happen in America? It could not happen again, thank God? Two years ago, those were initial reactions to Gilbert King’s Pulitzer Prize winning history entitled Devil in the Grove. Why? Gilbert King writes of crimes in Groveland, Florida. These are in large part capital crimes. Accusations of rape that led to the death penalty. I could rhetorically state: what’s new? Before I proceed, please allow me a diversion, to shout: IT IS GREAT TO BE BACK AT CHAUTAUQUA! I have spoken from podiums, pulpits, bimas, risers, sidewalks and couches. The bucolic venues at Chautauqua are the most magnificent. The CLSC tradition on the Alumni Hall porch and lawn is splendid. Your consistent attention is amazing and appreciated, giving up your lunch hour on this busy day, between other lecturers who are truly outstanding. Thus, it is a special honor to return to this porch of literary and scientific renown yet another time, for which I extend my gratitude and appreciation to Jeff Miller. Jeff should be congratulated not just for his choice of speakers, but also for every year painstakingly dedication to the core principles of the CLSC, ensuring that our summers will challenge our minds and souls. Publication The CLSC teaches us to undertake critical analysis of the world around us and our communal and individual roles which are core Chautauquan values. As a side note, if literary criticism is an interest, then I urge you to seek out Mark Altshuler, and participate in his 16 year running Saturday Morning Short Story Discussion Course, a gem because it provides an intellectual tool, and charge to examine our roles, forcing us to forsake the witticisms of cable television’s talking heads, and to utilize the well tested tool of textual analysis, on Shabbat morning a secular typeFor of Torah study.

  • Addition to Summer Letter

    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.
