Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today's moviegoers and critics generally consider some Hollywood products--even some blockbusters--to be legitimate works of art. But during the first half century of motion pictures very few Americans would have thought to call an American movie "art." Up through the 1950s, American movies were regarded as a form of popular, even lower-class, entertainment. By the 1960s and 1970s, however, viewers were regularly judging Hollywood films by artistic criteria previously applied only to high art forms. In Hollywood Highbrow, Shyon Baumann for the first time tells how social and cultural forces radically changed the public's perceptions of American movies just as those forces were radically changing the movies themselves. The development in the United States of an appreciation of film as an art was, Baumann shows, the product of large changes in Hollywood and American society as a whole. With the postwar rise of television, American movie audiences shrank dramatically and Hollywood responded by appealing to richer and more educated viewers. Around the same time, European ideas about the director as artist, an easing of censorship, and the development of art-house cinemas, film festivals, and the academic field of film studies encouraged the idea that some American movies--and not just European ones--deserved to be considered art.

To make matters worse, a group of power-hungry senators known as the Party of the Enlightened are collaborating to bring about the Alliance's destruction. Worried by their newfound foes and forever haunted by the death of his father, Mkel must find a way to put the past behind him and bring his troops together if he and Gallanth hope to overcome these threats.

Book Laotian Highway Patrol

    Book Details:
  • Author : James A. White
  • Publisher : Trafford
  • Release : 2007-01-08
  • ISBN : 9781553951315
  • Pages : 0 pages

Download or read book Laotian Highway Patrol written by James A. White and published by Trafford. This book was released on 2007-01-08 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a terse narrative, James A. White, Jr. provides a warrior''s view of a period of covert warfare during the Second Indochina War, the Vietnam War, and a personal view of a man''s love for combat and the country in which he is fighting. From the command pilot''s seat of an AH-1 Cobra gunship, the reader experiences the daily grind and thrill of combat flying in the secret war of Indochina. White, a decorated veteran of the Marine Corps, Army, and Air America, reminisces on his tour with the Griffins flying out of Camp Evans and Quang Tri in support of MAC-V-SOG (Military Assistance Command - Vietnam, Studies and Operation Group) covert operations and Operation RIPCORD in the A Shau Valley. White also reveals the personal side of being a warrior in an unloved war separated by space and temperament from wife and children. He glowingly reveals his love of the Vietnam for which he is fighting and his Vietnamese family. From an awe for the terrain and development of Vietnam to his informed naiveté with the indigenous people and their customs, he demonstrates his fond memories of this combat-crippled land. The spirited and salty narrative opens at Quang Tri CCN (MAC-V-SOG Command and Control - North) with an account of the prelude, conduct, and aftermath of a "no extraction is routine" mission to recover RT (Reconnaissance Team) Coral, a Special Forces team of Americans and Montagnards. In the telling of this mission, and throughout the narrative, the reader is introduced and educated in the language of air combat helicopter-style and tantalized with introductions to the equipment of Snakes (Cobra gunships) and Slicks (non-gunship Hueys):All Hueys should be set up for strings and every crew member flying should have a stabo rig on. The nylon webbed harness, called a stabo rig, has several D-rings attached to it. If you''re shot down and not able to be picked up by a landing Huey, a hovering Huey equipped with strings can get you out. The crew-chief and gunner throw several strings down and you hook onto them. The ride is sickening, scary, and gut-wrenching.This mission and the others related are fact. To protect the identity of certain participants and to simplify the telling, names have been changed and characters in the narrative are sometimes amalgams of actual participants. The missions themselves are related, when appropriate, from White''s first-person viewpoint. The missions are told in the language used by operations personnel and couched in the dialogue common to the Vietnam era of helicopter combat.Well, another typical CCN mission. As time marches on, things get worse and worse. Just our luck, but then we wouldnÕt expect it any other way. I switch to UHF as the package with Tex leading arrives. Without being told, they join into Marty''s and my loose daisy chain. ''Okay, here''s how it goes.... I''ll head directly toward Kilo, break over them in a tight two-seventy to the right. I''ll then nail the Sierra portion of the Lima Zulu, then turn toward you. When I do this, Fox Lead will head toward the Lima Zulu, with all four Bears on you. You''ll go in, pick up, and do a three-sixty and come out the same way. Do not... do not... do not overfly the Lima Zulu. ''Chalk Two will start heading for the Lima Zulu after a forty-second separation, understand?" I wait for a reply, which comes right away. "Chalk Two will enter and leave the same way as Lead. I don''t think we''ll need strings but be careful of the scattered trees to your nine o''clock going in. Chalk Three and Four will hold a high orbit here and Lead will return here after the pick-up. Questions?'' There''s silence on the radios. I know they are talking on the unit VHF, but it will only last a minute. ''Bear Lead, Fox Lead, ah... let''s do it!'' So much for any more questions....As the narrative unfolds and White approaches the end of this episode of his combat experience, he finally lets us in on the rewards to be expected from combat in the most intensive covert actions fought in this century.The only physical awards one can possibly get are the few patches that we wear. To most of us, the Laotian Highway Patrol patch says it all. Though copied from a stateside law enforcement unit, it represents a lot more to us. We don''t ticket speeders or those making U-turns, we kill them. The Ho Chi Minh trail is really the most dangerous highway in the world. And we, the aerial law enforcement, have the toughest beat of all. Those who see it know that we earn our flight pay.Laotian Highway Patrol is a warrior''s remembrance of a unique time, place, and association of people in time of crisis and danger. The personal nature of this narrative leaves the reader grateful for the chance to walk in another''s shoes during this memorable time.

Book Drawing on Students  Worlds in the Ela Classroom

Download or read book Drawing on Students Worlds in the Ela Classroom written by Richard Beach and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2022-04-22 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book approaches English instruction through the lens of figured worlds, which recognizes and spotlights how students are actively engaged in constructing their own school, peer group, extracurricular, and community worlds. Teachers' ability to not only to engage with students' experiences and interests in and outside of school, but also to build connections between students' worlds and their teaching, is essential for promoting student agency, engagement, and meaningful learning. Beach and Caraballo provide an accessible framework for working with students to use critical discourse, narratives, media, genres and more to support their identity development through addressing topics that are meaningful for students--their families, social issues, virtual worlds, and more. Through extensive activities and examples of students writing about their participation in these worlds, this text allows educators to recognize how students' experiences in the classroom affect and shape their identities, and connect such an understanding to successful classroom practice. With chapters featuring effective instructional activities, this book is necessary reading for ELA methods courses and for all pre-service English teachers.
