Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Easy Stories MY intention in writing these little stories was to furnish material which little children, learning to read, could master without assistance. All who are familiar with children know how pleased they are when they can read a whole story for themselves. The language used in such stories must be very simple, and the thought must be within the com prehension of the child. When a child understands perfectly what he reads, the expression takes care of itself. It seems to me that the tendency nowadays is to give the child classical literature too soon. I believe in good literature; I believe it should be used in our schools; but I believe also that a little child is a little child and should be allowed the literary food adapted to his condition. The book is intended to be used in the last half of the second school year, or the first half of the third year.

Download or read book Hawthorne s Short Stories written by Nathaniel Hawthorne and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2011-01-11 with total page 450 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Twenty-four of the best short stories by one of the early masters of the form, in the definitive collection edited by acclaimed scholar Newton Arvin. Nathaniel Hawthorne was one of the greatest American writers of the nineteenth century, and some of his most powerful work was in the form of fable-like tales that make rich use of allegory and symbolism. The dark beauty and moral force of his imagination are evident in such enduring masterpieces as "Young Goodman Brown," in which a young man who believes he has witnessed a satanic initiation can never see his pious neighbors the same way again; “Rappaccini's Daughter," about a lovely young girl who has been raised in isolation among dangerous poisons; and "The Birthmark," in which a scientist obsessed with perfection destroys the flaw that makes his otherwise flawless wife both beautiful and human.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Simple Stories: With Good Maxims The Patient Boy. There was a journeyman bricklayer, who was a good workman, but a very drunken idle fellow; he spent at the dram shop, almost all he earned, and left his wife and children to take care of themselves; to get food and clothes as they could. They might all have starved, but for the eldest son, whom his father had brought up to help him at his work; and who was so industrious and attentive, that being now at the age of thirteen or fourteen, he was able to earn pretty good wages; every penny of which that he could keep out of his father's hands, be brought to his mother.

Download or read book Very Short Stories written by Sean Hill and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2011-12-13 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Inspired by an experiment on Twitter, these 300 moving stories are no bigger than a sentence or two, on themes like love, death, and family. In this one-of-a-kind collection, author Sean Hill has crafted hundreds of engaging stories that conjure an entire novel in just a sentence or two. Sometimes sad, often humorous and always creative, these tales touch on a wide range of life experiences from romance and family to death and sex. Nana rocked in her old wooden rocking chair. “Timmy, you have always been my favorite,” she said. He looked at her. “Nana, I’m Bobby.” Read your diary, discovered your secret. I thought I loved you, but now I’m not sure. Don’t know what to do, you look so human. Clowning was Daryl’s profession, cooking was his passion. Stella thought he was perfect. She liked to laugh and never learned to cook. Alex bought Sharon a ring for Valentine’s Day, which she sold to buy the gun that stopped him from loving her. In 2009, Sean Hill combined his love of writing and technology by creating @VeryShortStory, a Twitter feed where he interacts with his readers and shares his 140-character stories. Praise for Very Short Stories “Some are touching, some ring true, but most are laugh-out-loud funny.” —Seattle Times “The book is a treasure-trove of fascinating exploration into the craft of language and storytelling.” —Summit Daily “Story telling is his bag, pure and simple.” —Austin American Statesman “The best of the stories might rival Hemingway's classic six word story in their descriptive brevity and their ability to tell a complete and affecting tale.” —Short and Sweet NYC “Witty, well-crafted and always thought-provoking.” —Salt Lake Tribune
