Download or read book La Sombra del Baron written by Lavayén Lavayén and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2005-05-27 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Memoir uncovers truth about effects of ghost story and family dynamic in Argentine Childhood The transition from childhood to adulthood is difficult no matter what the circumstances. When more stress is added from societal and familial pressures, that transition is even shorter and harsher. The Shadow of the Baron by American-Argentinian author Laura Lavayén is a memoir of her childhood in Argentina, living on the land of a deceased landholder. The Baron was a fanatic and kept repeating that, if Germany lost the war, he would commit suicide. He did. The Baron starved to death after destroying all his belongings brought from Germany. The only things left, very close to Laura's home, were a pine tree – also brought from Germany – and his grave surrounded by an iron railing. Soon after the Baron's death, people said that his spirit wandered in the area. It is in this environment that the memoir begins, before quickly moving into the difficult childhood that fills the book. Lavayén’s memories of her older half-sister, Caty, a mentally handicapped girl who died very young, her gaucho father who was a storyteller and she loved dearly, and stories of scarcity and lack of understanding, mainly from her mother who never agreed with her behavior, flavor much of the text. The old ranch where the family lived was in the outskirts of beautiful Bariloche. Not far from the place where she used to play with her brothers and sisters, they found broken remains from the former inhabitants in the area, or so they thought. Later on, they learned that they had belonged to the German Baron Ludwig von Bulow. His spirit wandering in the area was a recurring nightmare for Laura… ------------------------------------------ La Sombra del Barón El primer volumen de sus memorias narra su infancia en la estancia donde vivía con su familia y donde trabajaba su padre, cerca a Bariloche. La propiedad pertenecía a un barón alemán, Ludwig von Bulow, quien había dicho que se suicidaría si Alemania perdía la guerra, y así hizo, se dejó morir de hambre. La Sombra del Barón contiene el secreto para que la vida de Laura se haya desarrollado como lo hizo. El libro presenta recuerdos de su media hermana mayor Caty, quien murió muy joven, su padre, un gaucho por excelencia, quien era un gran narrador de historias y a quien ella amaba especialmente, e historias de carencias y falta de compresión, principalmente por parte de su madre, quien nunca entendió el comportamiento de su hija. El día que ella mira hacia la tumba que tanto la atemorizaba junto a sus hermanos, pues se decía que el fantasma del barón rondaba la estancia, y no sintió miedo ni del barón, ella se marchó… todo se desencadenó cuando se enteró de un secreto que su familia guardaba, lo que la hace entender que su padre tenía razón cuando decía que «No es a los muertos a quien hay que tenerles miedo, sino a los vivos». Esta realidad la hacer perder el miedo a que el espíritu del Barón pudiera aparecérsele y la empuja a dejar la casa de sus padres… siendo aún una adolescente.

Download or read book Spanish Practices written by Paul Julian Smith and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-12-02 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This book is the first to explore the interaction of three media in contemporary Spain. Focusing on some of the best known and most important books, feature films, and television series in the country (including novelist Antonio Munoz Molina, director Pedro Almodovar, and the Spanish version of telenovela Ugly Betty), it addresses three pairs of linked issues central to Hispanic studies and beyond: history and memory, authority and society, and genre and transitivity. Much of the material is very recent and thus as yet unstudied. The book also focuses on the representation of gender, sexuality, and transnationalism in these texts. Drawing on approaches from both the humanities and social sciences it combines close readings of key texts with the analysis of production processes, media institutions, audiences, and reception."

Download or read book Tougher Than Nails written by Amanda Flores and published by FriesenPress. This book was released on 2018-06-07 with total page 107 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “The next day he came for my children. The time to go had come.... The river was very strong and very cold.... When I heard the sound of the helicopter, my heart pounded....” Choices must be made whether bad or good. I went from hot El Salvador to cold Canada, but my faith kept me cool and kept me warm and safe, just like I kept my family. The Salvadorian civil war didn’t kill me, the Rio Grande didn’t drown me, la migra didn’t catch me, Canadian winters haven’t frozen me. Yet. Many people have had trials and tribulations and chose the wrong attitude to get through them. I did the same until I truly listened to my heart and the voice of God. Using His map, I took my family from the dark into the light. I didn’t know how to swim, speak English, shovel snow, drive, or sometimes feed my family. But I am a survivor, a fierce wife and an even fiercer mother. Some people say I’m tougher than nails. My life shows that determination and faith—and strength—can lead to wonders. I hope my story can inspire people—my children, my grandchildren, everybody.

Download or read book Crianza Responsiva written by Dr. Boyd D. Brooks and published by Elm Hill. This book was released on 2020-09-01 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book identifies five problem areas in parenting that, if left unchecked, will produce problems in adolescence. They are: a) Isolation b) Unrestrainedness c) no boundaries d) poor parental accessibility e) shame The antidote for all five are connection, self-control, good boundaries, accessibility to the parents, and the parents’ ability to mitigate shame in their children’s lives. One of the primary differences between families who enjoy each other and families who do not enjoy each other is the way they approach conflict. Reactive families do not possess the skills to resolve conflict, while responsive families do. All around us are adolescents who are isolated, with little self-control over their emotions. They easily get into trouble because of poor parental boundaries and subsequently experience shame. They do not have accessibility to their parents and do not know how to resolve their conflicts and confusion. Young parents can avoid these deadly pitfalls beginning at the toddler stage by parenting in a responsive way. They will raise children who know how to interact with others, control their emotions, respect and accept good boundaries, enjoy accessibility with their parents, and know how to mitigate shame when it occurs in their lives. The reactive family is literally going in circles. Their cyclical, reactive patterns include inattentiveness, misunderstanding, put downs, rejection, shame, and isolation. They can be disconnected, angry, and resentful. They are on an emotional merry-go-round and do not know how to get off. On the other hand, the responsive family has learned how to stop the cycle. They have employed listening, understanding, and clarification. When they apologize--it means something. When they forgive, they do not bring it up again. Instead of being rigid, they have learned to be flexible. They are connected and forgiving. As a result, they are emotionally strong and respectful of each other. They enjoy spontaneous moments in a mutually satisfying way. This book helps the reader identify deadly patterns that are draining the life out of their relationships and presents change as a real possibility. With the use of metaphors and word pictures, the reader can see both kinds of families, but also learn how to introduce change into their family--the kind of change that is not easy but is transformative. Parenting is a daunting task, especially if you’re young and inexperienced. Today many parents find themselves disconnected from their children and overwhelmed with a sense of helplessness. There are two basic approaches to parenting that can be used--reactive parenting and responsive parenting. Reactive parenting, so prevalent in today’s society, is done in reaction to something, whether a whining child or a parent’s own anxiety. It is impulsive and produces poor results. As more and more young people reach adulthood without an adequate model of self-regulation and conflict resolution, the more visible this problem becomes. On the other hand, Responsive Parenting, as described in Boyd’s book, is a principled approach to parenting. It emphasizes the importance of preparing children for adulthood. Responsive parenting is thoughtful and is in response to the child’s best interests. It takes the long view. It listens and clarifies. It apologizes and forgives. It is flexible and extends freedom with responsibility. It is accepting and affirming while being connected and supportive. Boyd Brooks shows readers through easy to understand biblical principles how to build self-esteem and confidence in their children and help them discover who they were meant to be.
