"A thoroughly revised and expanded edition of Thomas C. Foster's classic guide-a lively and entertaining introduction to literature and literary basics, including symbols, themes and contexts, that shows you how to make your everyday reading experience more rewarding and enjoyable. While many books can be enjoyed for their basic stories, there are often deeper literary meanings interwoven in these texts. How to Read Literature Like a Professor helps us to discover those hidden truths by looking at literature with the eyes-and the literary codes-of the ultimate professional reader, the college professor. What does it mean when a literary hero is traveling along a dusty road? When he hands a drink to his companion? When he's drenched in a sudden rain shower? Ranging from major themes to literary models, narrative devices and form, Thomas C. Foster provides us with a broad overview of literature-a world where a road leads to a quest, a shared meal may signify a communion, and rain, whether cleansing or destructive, is never just a shower-and shows us how to make our reading experience more enriching, satisfying, and fun. This revised edition includes new chapters, a new preface and epilogue, and incorporates updated teaching points that Foster has developed over the past decade. Foster updates his classic text with ore writers and books in the contemporary pantheon, including: Angie Thomas's The Hate U Give, Emily St. John Mandel's Station Eleven, Neil Gaiman's Neverwhere, Elizabeth Acevedo's The Poet X ), Helen Oyeyemi's Mr. Fox and Boy, Snow, Bird, Sandra Cisneros's The House on Mango Street, Zora Neale Hurston's Their Eyes Were Watching God, Maggie O'Farrell's Hamnet, Madeline Miller's Circe, Pat Barker's The Silence of the Girls, and Tahereh Mafi's A Very Large Expanse of Sea"--

Χρειάστηκαν πάνω από είκοσι χρόνια προσωπικής έρευνας, μέχρι να ολοκληρώσω το όλο πρόγραμμα! Διαπίστωσα με τον καιρό ότι η κάθε γλώσσα διαθέτει την δική της σύνταξη και λογική. Η διαφορά των ελληνικών με τα γερμανικά είναι αρκετά μεγάλη. Το να το καταλάβεις αυτό και μόνο (από την πλευρά των μαθητών), χρειαζόταν πολύς χρόνος. Για να γίνει αυτό πιο κατανοητό θα συγκρίνουμε την σύνταξη κάποιων γλωσσών! Παράδειγμα Ελληνικά: Μα εγώ δεν θέλω να σου το εξηγήσω σήμερα στο σχολείο.Αγγλικά: Μα εγώ δεν θέλω να εξηγήσω το σου στο σχολείο σήμερα.Ισπανικά Μα εγώ δεν θέλω εξηγήσωσουτο σήμερα στο σχολείο. Γερμανικά: Εγώ θέλω το σου μα σήμερα δεν στο σχολείο εξηγήσω. Οι περισσότεροι μαθητές και ιδιαίτερα οι μικρότεροι όταν μαθαίνουν μία ξένη γλώσσα τοποθετούν τις λέξεις με την σειρά, που τις χρησιμοποιούν στην μητρική τους γλώσσα. Η αλλαγή του τρόπου σκέψης θα ήταν και χωρίς κανόνες εφικτή, αλλά θα απαιτούσε πολύ χρόνο, κόπο και προσπάθεια. Τώρα πλέον αυτό δεν είναι κανένα πρόβλημα, μιάς και όλ' αυτά εξηγούνται βήμα προς βήμα από την αρχή αναλυτικά, ώστε να μπορεί κάποιος να διορθώνεται και μόνος του! Έχουμε λοιπόν αποκωδικοποιήσει την σύνταξη των γλωσσών!Όλες οι ασκήσεις είναι επαναληπτικές και έτσι δεν ξεχνιούνται τα γραμματικά και συντακτικά φαινόμενα. Σύντομα θα έχουμε εξηγήσει τις δέκα πιο πολυμιλημένες γλώσσες του κόσμου και στο μέλλον ευελπιστούμε να εξηγήσουμε όλες τις γλώσσε

"Sol Reyes has had a rough year. After a series of workplace incidents at her university lab culminates in a plagiarism accusation, Sol is put on probation. Dutiful visits to her homophobic father aren't helping her mental health, and she finds her nightly glass of wine becoming more of an all-day-and-all-bottle-event. Her wife, Alice Song, is far more optimistic. After all, the two finally managed to buy a house in the beautiful, gated community of Maneless Grove. However, the neighbors are a little too friendly in Sol's opinion. She has no interest in the pushy Homeowners Association, their bizarrely detailed contract, or their never-ending microaggressions. ... Suddenly, a number of strange occurrences--doors and stairs disappearing, roots growing inside the house--cause Sol to wonder if her social paranoia isn't built on something more sinister"--

"Everything has felt wrong since Caleb's brother died, so when he sees a black cat that seems off, he doesn't think anything of it. But when he looks closer, the cat doesn't appear to have a clear face. It looks like it's been smudged out. And he keeps following Caleb around. Haunting him. So Caleb calls him Ghost. Caleb is trying to return to a normal life, but he can't stop feeling distant and numb. Even being assigned to work on a school project with Emmett, the lead singer of a punk rock band, just feels like another blip. But as Caleb's feelings for Emmett grow, so does the distance he has put between himself and his best friend, Tanya. Can Caleb stop running from his grief in order to save his friendship and discover Ghost's true purpose?"--Publisher description.

"In this hilarious and often touching collection, the New York Times bestselling author, television writer, and producer takes us with him on travels across the globe"--

Are Blacks in America immune from criticism? Are they never responsible for their own failures? And most importantly, is Black rule the end for an American city? Paul Kersey answers these questions with an emphatic "yes" in this controversial account of the fall of Atlanta, through forty-five articles on the topic, originally posted to his SBPDL Blog at The Unz Review between 2011 and 2012. Black Mecca Down shows the tragic aftermath of the Civil Rights Movement in the decline of a once great city. Atlanta, GA, once dubbed "The City Too Busy To Hate," was supposed to be the model city for the New South, a thriving metropolis that would show the old Confederacy had moved beyond race and joined the global economy. Instead, Kersey argues, Atlanta became a Black dystopia dominated by corruption, incompetence, and crime. Starting with Maynard Jackson, Atlanta's first Black mayor, the greatest city in the South followed the pattern of Detroit, with basic institutions collapsing even as the cries of "racism" increased.Paul Kersey's uproarious anthology, Black Mecca Down: The Fall of the City Too Busy to Hate, was originally published in 2012, has since fallen out of print, and is now being resurrected and preserved by Antelope Hill Publishing in a newly-edited and thoroughly cited edition.

The combined paperback edition of the first two adventures of Wednesday McIntyre, U. S. Marshall. Clara RavenMerck McIntyre had survived the Great War and dodged the Spanish Flu. Now he was back in the United States and had signed on with the U.S. Marshal. His plans were for a good career in law enforcement in his home state of Massachusetts. It was The Roaring Twenties. America was recovering from a world war and wanted to party. But 1920 was the start of Prohibition. It became the law of the land. The men slated to enforce it were the U.S. Marshals, something Merck hadn't counted on. Overnight, he was on a train headed for the far-flung state of Idaho. It would be his job to stop the illegal sale of liquor in what, so far as he was concerned, was still the wild west. Merck, like President Woodrow Wilson, didn't think it was a good law, and he didn't think it would work, no matter what law enforcement did. But he set out to do his best to maintain peace and order in northern Idaho. It even looked like he might achieve it. Until the bootleggers showed up with their guns and their greed. They moved in fast to take over stills and make a fortune shipping booze to whoever could pay top dollar. When rival gangs appeared, they shot them down. The bullets flew and soon Merck had a regular war on his hands. There were a handful of sheriffs and sheriff's deputies he could call on. But too many were dirty and he didn't trust them. Then there were the special deputies - a Basque-American named Nayara Zubiri, and another woman from Boise who went by Samantha McCain. Maybe they'd help, maybe they'd hinder, maybe they'd make all the difference. Only time and courage would tell. Under the StonesThe 20s are roaring. Prohibition makes them roar even louder. After a month in the wilds enforcing Prohibition, Marshal Merck (Wednesday) McIntyre returns to Winston, Idaho to find a striking woman named Jenny Roades waiting for him. She demands McIntyre put an end to the gang that is forcing her father to surrender the medicinal whiskey in his pharmacy. At the same time, Father Brynn of St. Rafael's has been ordered to deliver up his shipments of sacramental wine to the same gang or see his church put to the torch. McIntyre knows this gang well. He has tangled with them before. Their calling card is the Jack of Diamonds. But the problem of dealing with the gang becomes far greater when Jenny's father is gunned down and she heads out to seek revenge. McIntyre and his posse can either ride with her or stay behind. But for Jenny Roades, a private detective badge in her pocket and a Colt pistol on her hip, there is no stopping until justice is done. "I'm not turning back. Everyone else can do as they please. I'm not done till that killer is my prisoner or under the stones."
