Book excerpt: Christopher anguished as he read John's suicide note. The note made reference to the evil one among them. Who did he mean? Perhaps the crazy old wizard was right when he warned Christopher on that dark evening that the end was near, and God was coming for him. The way things were going, it didn't surprise Christopher. His marriage was in serious trouble. He was broke. The company he worked for was in jeopardy. And now someone he knew had tried to kill himself. He buried his head in his hands thinking about how it all started, and what he had to do to stop what was going to happen next...before it was too late. He desperately needed to find Alayne. He hadn't seen her since that night they were in the park together. Something very bizarre happened there which Christopher couldn't explain to anyone, even himself. Alayne was a ballerina and loved to dance. On that same evening, under the glow of a bright full moon, she took off her shoes and gracefully balanced atop the playground swing, before mysteriously transfiguring into someone entirely different. It wasn't Alayne anymore. Christopher's mind went blank. That was the last thing he remembered...

Download or read book The Between Season written by Lon Rogers and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2009-12-14 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What happened to Fischer wasnt my fault. In 1944, the year it all started, a war between nations engulfed the world. That same year the students of New Canaan High School waged another kind of war. I, Tucker Landis, became its champion and its casualty. Back then my high school and my hometown held my entire universe. All my gods lived there. So did my demons. Most of us had grown up in New Canaan or on neighboring farms and ranches. We had known each other all our lives, yet at school we segregated ourselves into exclusive cliques of our own making. Everyone held a defined rank and a prescribed place in the hierarchy. The rules were brutal. One misstep could ruin a reputation and doom the offender to the most dreaded of all punishments: ridicule. Ridicule had girls bawling in the restroom at school, and guys sobbing into their pillows at night Fischer recognized all of this, but unlike the rest of us, he understood something more: the hierarchy held no power over those who simply ignored it. With that profound insight, Fischer would wage his own private war. The Between Season is his story!

Download or read book Writing Dancing in the Age of Postmodernism written by Sally Banes and published by Wesleyan University Press. This book was released on 2011-03-01 with total page 435 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drawing of the postmodern perspective and concerns that informed her groundbreaking Terpsichore in Sneakers, Sally Banes’s Writing Dancing documents the background and developments of avant-garde and popular dance, analyzing individual artists, performances, and entire dance movements. With a sure grasp of shifting cultural dynamics, Banes shows how postmodern dance is integrally connected to other oppositional, often marginalized strands of dance culture, and considers how certain kinds of dance move from the margins to the mainstream. Banes begins by considering the act of dance criticism itself, exploring its modes, methods, and underlying assumptions, and examining the work of other critics. She traces the development of contemporary dance from the early work of such influential figures as Merce Cunningham and George Balanchine to such contemporary choreographers as Molissa Fenley, Karole Armitage, and Michael Clark. She analyzes the contributions of the Judson Dance Theatre and the Workers’ Dance League, the emergence of Latin postmodern dance in New York, and the impact of black jazz in Russia. In addition, Banes explores such untraditional performance modes as breakdancing and the “drunk dancing” of Fred Astaire. Ebook Edition Note: Ebook edition note: All images have been redacted.

Book excerpt: Kalif Brown is an inspiring basketball star, who has what it takes to make it to the NBA. He's a high school senior with big dreams. But his off the court lifestyle of drugs and guns, may land him in jail or dead. Growing up in a drug infested neighborhood filled with junkies, and criminals, doesn't make his situation any better. And like most young black men and women he's living in a single parent home with his mother. He doesn't have a father figure; therefore he turns to a local dealer to fill that image of a father. Kalif must make a choice. Will it be "Hustling or Hooping"? And he must make this decision fast because his dreams and life may depend on it. Many young inner city athletes and those not into sports, deal with the pressures of everyday life. And many find it hard to deal with especially if they don't have anyone to talk to. Hustling or Hooping may be a fictional book, but there is a Kalif Brown in every urban city in the U.S. Many young black men grow up fatherless, and turn to the streets for a family. The out come is usually negative. But many do make it out of their situations. This book is highly recommended for any young man, or woman who is growing up in a negative environment, and feels as though he or she cannot make that change for the good. This book can be a tool, to make that negative situation a positive one. But also this book reveals the consequences of not making that change for the better.

Download or read book Together Alone written by Calvin Morrill and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2023-09-01 with total page 323 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Exploring locales such as city streets, bus stops, parking lots, bars, retail establishments, and discussion groups, Together Alone ventures into what is often thought of as the realm of passing strangers to examine the nature of personal relationships conducted in public spaces. While most studies of social interaction have gone behind closed doors to focus on relationships in the family, school, and workplace, this innovative collection pushes the boundaries of the field by analyzing both fleeting and anchored relationships in the seldom-studied communal areas where much of contemporary life takes place. The contributors shed light on the diversity and character of day-to-day negotiations in public spaces and at the same time illuminate how these social ties paradoxically blend aspects of durability and brevity, of emotional closeness and distance, of being together and alone. Exploring locales such as city streets, bus stops, parking lots, bars, retail establishments, and discussion groups, Together Alone ventures into what is often thought of as the realm of passing strangers to examine the nature of personal relations

Dennis Noel, a native of the dual-island nation of Trinidad and Tobago, shares lessons from his own journey in book one of his life story. His prime directive is to show the interconnectivity of everything in the universe, between universes, and between beings. His story is connected to othersand their stories are all part of a much bigger story. He reveals regrets many of us choose to ignore. Some of these lie buried deep in the recesses of our minds to be forgotten or diluted with enough justifications to dissolve any real ownership, but he seeks to move toward a more enlightened path. He also looks back at the many times in his life that help was given, sometimes in the form of angels disguised as strangers or via doors opened with whispers urging him closer to faith.
