Download or read book Grains of Discipline written by Hannah Solomon and published by Partridge Africa. This book was released on 2016-02-19 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: According to William. S. Cottringer, discipline is the focused attitude of self-control that drives the systematic and consistent application of blood, sweat, and tears to get results. Discipline is the epitome of enduring, intrinsic motivation that overcomes the constant adversity that confronts us all on a daily basis. Success doesnt make discipline, but discipline enhances success. Accepting total responsibility of ourselves in situations and exercising self-restraint in attempt to get to our destination is what makes a man said to be discipline. We also must be successful in discovering important truths that can help us reach our goals, as well as avoiding the natural inclination to get lopsided or out of balance, which just requires more discipline to correct. Accepting the grains of discipline is merely a matter of stopping your talk and starting your walk. Talk only delays your working step and prolongs your journey. Discipline is said to have taken place when your deed is done in accordance to posterity and consciousness. The grains of discipline are the instructions/guidelines of discipline as an acronym, as a word, as a movement and actualization. It tells the attribute of a man in his nature. Discipline is neither a religious act nor cultural practices but a pure way of life to a peaceful living. It takes discipline to be religious and cultural, but it doesnt take religion or culture to be discipline.

Download or read book To be Suddenly White written by Steven J. Belluscio and published by University of Missouri Press. This book was released on 2006 with total page 301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To Be Suddenly White explores the troubled relationship between literary passing and literary realism, the dominant aesthetic motivation behind the late-nineteenth and early-twentieth-century ethnic texts considered in this study. Steven J. Belluscio uses the passing narrative to provide insight into how the representation of ethnic and racial subjectivity served, in part, to counter dominant narratives of difference. To Be Suddenly White offers new readings of traditional passing narratives from the African American literary tradition, such as James Weldon Johnson's The Autobiography of an Ex-Coloured Man, Nella Larsen's Passing, and George Schuyler's Black No More. It is also the first full-length work to consider a number of Jewish American and Italian American prose texts, such as Mary Antin's The Promised Land, Anzia Yezierska's Bread Givers, and Guido d'Agostino's Olives on the Apple Tree, as racial passing narratives in their own right. Belluscio also demonstrates the contradictions that result from the passing narrative's exploration of racial subjectivity, racial difference, and race itself. When they are seen in comparison, ideological differences begin to emerge between African American passing narratives and "white ethnic" (Jewish American and Italian American) passing narratives. According to Belluscio, the former are more likely to engage in a direct critique of ideas of race, while the latter have a tendency to become more simplistic acculturation narratives in which a character moves from a position of ethnic difference to one of full American identity. The desire "to be suddenly white" serves as a continual point of reference for Belluscio, enabling him to analyze how writers, even when overtly aware of the problematic nature of race (especially African American writers), are also aware of the conditions it creates, the transformations it provokes, and the consequences of both. Byexamining the content and context of these works, Belluscio elucidates their engagement with discourses of racial and ethnic differences, assimilation, passing, and identity, an approach that has profound implications for the understanding of American literary history.
