Download or read book 28 Years Since My Last Confession written by Catherine Powers and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2013-11-08 with total page 69 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It took so long to bring this book to print. I don't quite know why. I think maybe a few people had to die first. What I know now is that for a long time I stopped myself from getting my poetry out into the big, blue world because I followed the internal rule that I learned in my family, which was "this doesn't go outside the family." Since most of my writing was about my family this presented a conundrum. It took many years to break this rule and I still fight it almost every time I sit down to write. The book's grand themes: Death, Loss, Divorce, Bad Relationships, Toxic Family Issues, Addiction & My Catholic Upbringing. And, before you say "Wow, what a bummer," you need to know that I write with great humor and grace. That's what they say about me anyway. I like to think my work tragic and comic in the Irish tradition. Or, as my good friend, W.B. Yeats wrote, "Being Irish, he had an abiding sense of tragedy, which sustained him through temporary periods of joy." Just change "he" to "she" and that should explain a great deal of my world view. My work has been compared to Sharon Olds, Hal Sirowitz and David Sedaris. I'm not making that up. It really has been compared to those writers. Enough! Read a few of my poems and judge for yourself.

Download or read book DIALECTIC OF NOVEL SCRIPT FILM ADAPTATION written by Ryota Nakanishi and published by Ryota Nakanishi . This book was released on 2023-09-25 with total page 833 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book proves that the filmability of an original work becomes a criterion of faithful film adaptation. A theory or a theoretical work is to de-mystify illusions and misconceptions which were concocted by the ruling class ideologues. As part of RYOTA NAKANISHI’S FILM STUDIES TRILOGY (Hong Kong, China; 2021-2023), the 1st book A Study of The Three Act Structure (2021) explained the human-centric nature of The Three Act Structure as organism; the 2nd book Marxist Film Aesthetics (in Chinese; 2022) explained the nexus of Marxist aesthetics on cinema and general art practice defined as intrinsic nature / logic of an intrinsic object and dialectically turning them into specifically accurate methodology; this 3rd book (2023) is specifically written for one of the grave aesthetic issues arising in media after screening, film adaptation and its fidelity to the original. Thus, this one is for promoting media-literacy, not mainly for the pure methodology of film adaptation.

Download or read book Voices from S 21 written by David Chandler and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2023-09-01 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The horrific torture and execution of hundreds of thousands of Cambodians by Pol Pot's Khmer Rouge during the 1970s is one of the century's major human disasters. David Chandler, a world-renowned historian of Cambodia, examines the Khmer Rouge phenomenon by focusing on one of its key institutions, the secret prison outside Phnom Penh known by the code name "S-21." The facility was an interrogation center where more than 14,000 "enemies" were questioned, tortured, and made to confess to counterrevolutionary crimes. Fewer than a dozen prisoners left S-21 alive. During the Democratic Kampuchea (DK) era, the existence of S-21 was known only to those inside it and a few high-ranking Khmer Rouge officials. When invading Vietnamese troops discovered the prison in 1979, murdered bodies lay strewn about and instruments of torture were still in place. An extensive archive containing photographs of victims, cadre notebooks, and DK publications was also found. Chandler utilizes evidence from the S-21 archive as well as materials that have surfaced elsewhere in Phnom Penh. He also interviews survivors of S-21 and former workers from the prison. Documenting the violence and terror that took place within S-21 is only part of Chandler's story. Equally important is his attempt to understand what happened there in terms that might be useful to survivors, historians, and the rest of us. Chandler discusses the "culture of obedience" and its attendant dehumanization, citing parallels between the Khmer Rouge executions and the Moscow Show Trails of the 1930s, Nazi genocide, Indonesian massacres in 1965-66, the Argentine military's use of torture in the 1970s, and the recent mass killings in Bosnia and Rwanda. In each of these instances, Chandler shows how turning victims into "others" in a manner that was systematically devaluing and racialist made it easier to mistreat and kill them. More than a chronicle of Khmer Rouge barbarism, Voices from S-21 is also a judicious examination of the psychological dimensions of state-sponsored terrorism that conditions human beings to commit acts of unspeakable brutality.
Download or read book A Chaplain s Last Confession written by Robert Tito Memminger and published by Dog Ear Publishing. This book was released on 2015-08-31 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A very true life history written by a chaplain. Father Tito is the writer of his life. He’s known by many different names yet I believe Father Tito best tells who he is. If there seems to be confusion in his life’s story, that’s because I don’t believe he never really knew who he was. He had been a compassionate chaplain. He was a merciless killer. He spoke out against many, not making him the most popular man at times. Thus he had many enemies. He especially spoke against the injustices of his own government. He went after the bullies of the Belt Way who created wars for just shear profit. His jangled life began without any control over his existence. It continued such until his later years. His chief controller was his own country, the United States of America. With all the covert acts of patriotic duty he was never recognized. He was a hidden secret in his country. He had been stripped of his existence. No awards, applauses, thank you or even “up yours.” This compassionate chaplain became a hit man for his country, not totally out of patriotic loyalty, but because his parents’ lives were threatened. Therefore he completed covert missions created for him especially, since he was a genius. If you have trouble following the contents of this true story it’s because you’re walking inside the brain of a genius, a tortured child prodigy. A mind that’s forever in movement. Twisted thoughts. Reminiscent events of the past. His mind full of real information. Terror inside because of the demons of the past pop up. Demonic confusion utters or screams from his mouth. He talks incessantly, not always in any type of the average chronological brain, the order of the average man Tito’s order is scrambled, dictated to him to speak by his overactive mind. So again, be patient and you will discover a man persecuted by the realms surrounding him-----family, friends, church, country and the world.
Download or read book The Confession of St Patrick written by Saint Patrick and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2015-08-17 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book St. Patrick testifies to us of his conversion, trials, and tribulations in seeking, surrendering, and suffering for Christ. Even though most of us do not dare attempt to aspire to reach the heights of St. Patrick, it is important to realize that God made each and every person an individual - not to be like another - but rather to be like Christ. He made each person unique and endows each of us with different gifts and graces. This is why we study and admire other followers of Christ but we are not to try to be exactly like another. In growing in virtue - yes. But God has a very specific wills and assignments for each of us. Nevertheless it is helpful to study and reflect on the virtues of others like St. Patrick.
