Book excerpt: «¿Princesa, yo? ¿Me has visto bien? ¡Soy una bruja!» La temible bruja Petra de los Tornados es la legítima heredera del difunto rey Papanatas V y debe ocupar su lugar como princesa de Sotavento. Pero ¡ella es una bruja! Aun así, vivir en un palacio resulta tan tentador que Petra decide intentar convertirse en princesa. ¿Qué puede haber mejor que pasarse el día tumbada en una gran cama, paseando por los jardines y haciendo lo que le apetezca? Pronto Petra descubrirá que ser princesa no es tan divertido como parece... Este no es un cuento corriente sobre brujas y princesas. Es una historia sobre ser uno mismo que invita a huir de los estereotipos. Porque las cosas no siempre son lo que parecen... Y porque igual no todas queremos ser princesas. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION “A princess? Me? Have you seen me? I’m a witch!” Fearsome witch Petra of Tornados is the legitimate heir to the late King Papanatas V and must take her rightful place as the Leeward Princess. But, she is a witch! Still, living in a palace is so tempting that Petra decides to try to become a princess. What could be better than spending the day lying on a big bed, strolling through the gardens, and doing anything you wish? Petra will soon find out that being a princess is not as fun as it seems. This is not an ordinary tale about witches and princesses. It is a story about being yourself which invites you to put aside stereotypes. Because things are not always what they seem ... And because we don't all want to be princesses anyway.

Book excerpt: “Elizabeth Blackwell is a story-telling genius. Her mesmerizing writing weaves a spell that will enchant you. While Beauty Slept breathes new life into the fairytale genre with a historical twist that will take your breath away.” —Meg Cabot, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Princess Diaries and Heather Wells mystery series I am not the sort of person about whom stories are told. Those of humble birth suffer their heartbreaks and celebrate their triumphs unnoticed by the bards, leaving no trace in the fables of their time… And so begins Elise Dalriss’s story. When she hears her great-granddaughter recount a minstrel’s tale about a beautiful princess asleep in a tower, it pushes open a door to the past, a door Elise has long kept locked. For Elise was the companion to the real princess who slumbered—and she is the only one left who knows what actually happened so many years ago. As the memories start to unfold, Elise is plunged back into the magnificent world behind the palace walls she left behind more than a half century ago, a labyrinth where the secrets of her real father and the mysterious fate of her mother connect to an inconceivable evil. Elise has guarded these secrets for a lifetime. As only Elise understands all too well, the truth is no fairy tale.

Download or read book Writing in a Bilingual Program written by Carole Edelsky and published by Praeger. This book was released on 1986 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A year-long study of the writing development of 27 first through third graders in an English/Spanish bilingual program was conducted during the 1980-81 school year. Samples of the children's writing were collected at four intervals, coded for computer tallying, and analyzed in terms of code-switching, spelling, punctuation and segmentation, structural features, stylistic devices, and content. Additionally, the context in which the writing developed was evaluated by classroom observations, teacher interviews, review of familial backgrounds, and a survey of the community language situation. Myths about bilingual language proficiency, biliteracy, bilingual education, teaching writing, and learning to write are all countered by evidence presented in this study. In a discussion of implications, the concept of a whole language approach to writing instruction is supported, in which authentic and functional texts are offered to and produced by children. Examples of the children's writing with appropriate translations are given along with various tables. Informal follow-up information is presented in three epilogues dealing with changes in the researcher's commitment to the study's original writing theories, the writing of some students a year after the study; and a chronological outline of the demise of the bilingual program used in the study. Appendices list interview questions used for teachers and aides and categories for coding the writing data. This book contains 134 references. (ALL)

Download or read book The Space of Literature written by Maurice Blanchot and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2015-11 with total page 393 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Maurice Blanchot, the eminent literary and cultural critic, has had a vast influence on contemporary French writers--among them Jean Paul Sartre and Jacques Derrida. From the 1930s through the present day, his writings have been shaping the international literary consciousness. The Space of Literature, first published in France in 1955, is central to the development of Blanchot's thought. In it he reflects on literature and the unique demand it makes upon our attention. Thus he explores the process of reading as well as the nature of artistic creativity, all the while considering the relation of the literary work to time, to history, and to death. This book consists not so much in the application of a critical method or the demonstration of a theory of literature as in a patiently deliberate meditation upon the literary experience, informed most notably by studies of Mallarmé, Kafka, Rilke, and Hölderlin. Blanchot's discussions of those writers are among the finest in any language.
Download or read book Bewitching written by Alex Flinn and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2012-02-14 with total page 299 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bewitching can be a beast. . . . Once, I put a curse on a beastly and arrogant high school boy. That one turned out all right. Others didn’t. I go to a new school now—one where no one knows that I should have graduated long ago. I’m not still here because I’m stupid; I just don’t age. You see, I’m immortal. And I pretty much know everything after hundreds of years—except for when to take my powers and butt out. I want to help, but things just go awry in ways I could never predict. Like when I tried to free some children from a gingerbread house and ended up being hanged. After I came back from the dead (immortal, remember?), I tried to play matchmaker for a French prince and ended up banished from France forever. And that little mermaid I found in the Titanic lifeboat? I don’t even want to think about it. Now a girl named Emma needs me. I probably shouldn’t get involved, but her gorgeous stepsister is conniving to the core. I think I have just the thing to fix that girl—and it isn’t an enchanted pumpkin. Although you never know what will happen when I start . . . bewitching.
