Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An Unplanned Roundtrip recounts author Arthur O. Klein's transition from life in a middle class Jewish home in prewar 1930s Vienna to a new life as an American citizen after serving in the U.S. Army Counter Intelligence Corps in 1947. Beginning with the entry of Adolf Hitler into Vienna in March 1938, Klein's memoir details the subsequent separation of his family in August 1938 as he and his father were forced to leave his mother and sister and flee to Luxembourg and their eventual reunion in September 1939. Klein describes moving through France, Spain, Portugal and Cuba before arriving in the U.S. in early 1945, where he was immediately drafted into the U.S. Army. His memoir includes a description of his training as a Special Agent of the U.S. Army Counter Intelligence Corps and of his eventual discharge after a serious car accident in West Germany in December 1946.
Download or read book Altered Reflections written by Faces in the Mirror and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2012-05-07 with total page 323 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is my pleasure to share with you the culmination of a very long project. Faces in the Mirror is a group of 9th grade students at Webster Schroeder High School in upstate New York who spent about six months researching the Hero's Journey pattern as outlined by mythologist Joseph Campbell. Using references to mythology, literature, television, and film, the students began to see how the Hero's Journey permeates not only our culture, but all cultures across time and geographic location. From there, the students explored how the pattern is part of the human condition and how it can be used as a tool to examine their own lives. After completing The Sixty Day Sojourn and after reading a wide selection of cultural myths, each student modernized a myth or fairy tale of his/her choosing. By seeing these old stories through new lenses, the students' characters demonstrate that they are Altered Reflections of the originals.
Download or read book Venturing Out written by Kevin J. McGinnis and published by Page Publishing Inc. This book was released on 2013-12-10 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Oh well, I thought, this was all part of fishing. It just beats you up. You could yell at it, but it just didn’t stop or let up. It tested you and everything in you.” Have you ever thought of giving up your current life to follow a dream? Author Kevin J. McGinnis recounts his adventures of leaving his life behind in the big city of Sacramento to move to the small down of Albion with his girlfriend, to follow his dream of becoming a commercial fisherman. At the age of 32, McGinnis was hired as a deckhand for one of the best fisherman in Noyo Harbor, Fort Bragg, and spent nine days at sea learning the ropes and being put to the test. Every day the ocean taught him life lessons, from learning where to find the best fish and waiting patiently for fish, to dealing with sharks, storms, and freighters in the fog. It is a remarkable true story of daily life of a commercial fisherman at sea. Look for the second in the series, coming soon, “Venturing Out II, The Second Trip.”

Download or read book Reeling written by Sarah Stonich and published by U of Minnesota Press. This book was released on 2021-09-21 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: RayAnne’s next adventure takes our intrepid heroine, haunted by her beloved grandmother’s death, to New Zealand to film a new season of her all-women fishing talk show What stage of grief is it when your grandmother’s ghost keeps popping up on your electronic devices? Denial? For RayAnne that seems to be the stage for launching the second season of Fishing!—in New Zealand. Ready or not, she is taking public television’s first all-women fishing talk show on the road, putting the cold Minnesota winter in the rearview mirror—which, it turns out, Gran is haunting, too. After a challenging first season, and RayAnne’s serendipitous ascension to host, there’s a lot at stake. With camera-wielding twins Rongo and Rangi along as crew and tour guides, RayAnne and her indefatigable producer Cassi set out across New Zealand in search of noteworthy women who fish: a skipjack boat captain navigating sexist harbors; a writer of historical suffragette fiction, which is, apparently, a thing; a reclusive Māori octogenarian who ties fishing flies for dignitaries. Their stories, and a good dose of the country’s history, are almost enough to take the edge off RayAnne’s homesickness and grief, to say nothing of jetlag—and it doesn’t hurt to discover a bird dog who fishes, an anti-fashionista, a pair of sisters fishing their way through recovery, and . . . a Hobbit? Meanwhile, the romantic and family entanglements she left behind at home haven’t exactly come untangled in her absence. Those who met RayAnne in Fishing!, Sarah Stonich’s first outing with the intrepid, accidental talk-show host, will encounter familiar and unexpected pleasures in her latest antics—and a story whose lighthearted surface and surprising depths will charm readers who now find her for the first time.

Download or read book Catch and Release written by Mark Kingwell and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2005-04-26 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This vibrant blend of memoir, travelogue, and reflection on the deep truths of angling is framed around an annual fishing trip that Mark Kingwell and his father and two brothers take each year to British Columbia. Between the drinking, the cigars, and the piloting of a small dingy, Kingwell, previously of the belief that “fishing is stupid,” finds that the sport does allow for one important thing—quite a bit of time just to think, to allow thoughts to wander and new vistas to open up. This realization leads Kingwell, who makes his living as a professor of philosophy, to ponder everything from masculinity and procrastination to golf and the value of work—not to mention the relative benefits of wet versus dry flies, the cast, and how best to fool a fish. As the book engagingly shows, fishing is worth thinking about because of the thinking that fishing allows. Especially when the trout aren’t biting.
