Download or read book The Prom written by Saundra Mitchell and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2020-12-08 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on the musical that inspired the Netflix film starring Meryl Streep, Nicole Kidman, Kerry Washington, Keegan-Michael Key, James Corden, Andrew Rannells, and Ariana DeBose! Emma Nolan and Alyssa Greene share the same goal: debut as a couple at their senior prom. Only a few things stand in their way—okay, maybe more than a few. For one, Alyssa hasn’t come out yet. It’s not that she doesn’t want to, but with a mother on the PTA who will stop at nothing to prevent same-sex couples from attending prom, it’s not a conversation she’s eager to have—with good reason. Before long, Mrs. Greene has the entire town backing her up, and it’s starting to look as though Emma and Alyssa won’t get their happily-ever-after. Then, out of the blue, two Broadway stars arrive on the scene to fight on the girls’ behalf (and get a little publicity along the way). But when their good intentions fall flat, it’s up to Emma and Alyssa to take matters into their own hands and show their small Indiana town—and the world—that love is love is love. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Based on the musical that inspired the Netflix film starring Meryl Streep, Nicole Kidman, Kerry Washington, Keegan-Michael Key, James Corden, Andrew Rannells, and Ariana DeBose!

Download or read book Learn Spanish News Vol 1 written by Nik Marcel and published by 2Language Books. This book was released on with total page 578 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: LEARN SPANISH NEWS Vol.1: English & Spanish THIS EDITION: The dual-language text has been arranged into sentences and shorter paragraphs for quick and easy cross-referencing. The source text is the Spanish language edition of Voice of America (VOA). The Spanish text has been translated into English for this dual-language project. The reader can choose between four formats: Section 1: English to Spanish Section 2: Spanish to English Section 3: English Section 4: Spanish A methodology for getting the most out of this bilingual format is explained in the book’s Foreword. The primary purpose of this text is to equip a foreign language learner with the ability to start reading news in the particular foreign language: to be able to read only in the foreign language, and extract enough understanding to continue the language learning process fruitfully this way. A reader might like to go back to reading dual-language news for reinforcement and further development, returning to foreign language only news with a deeper understanding. By going back to the same ‘old’ news, you are going over words, word patterns, and passages with which you already have a certain familiarity. The process of reinforcement, learning or retaining of what is new, and exposure to what is unfamiliar, is much easier this way — even though the news may seem a little dated. The aim of informing the reader about actual news is secondary, especially given that the content will become less current (and less relevant) over time. If you are having trouble with the level of difficulty in the text, a suggested path for learning languages is as follows: Familiarise yourself with a basic language instruction book — or re-read the one you have. Once a student has studied the basics, a suitable book about basic grammar can be helpful. The suggestion is that any grammar book be studied more with the intent of recognition and understanding, rather than memorising and obsessive rote learning. Go through as much of the grammar book you feel you can digest — maybe even the whole book — skipping over what is not easily understood. After this, read through a portion of text in a book called ‘Spanish Sentences’, by 2LanguageBooks, looking for examples of what you have picked up (or gleaned) in your hopefully not so arduous study of grammar. Even repeatedly seeing a word that you remember seeing listed as a ‘subject pronoun’ or a ‘third person plural’ verb of some sort is a great help. Then, depending on your inclination, return to the grammar book (or your basic Spanish book), or move on to lengthier bilingual text — like in 2Language Books texts containing news or stories, for example —, or find some suitable Spanish text: a simple novel, a Spanish news website, etc. Grammar books will likely have some verb charts. However, there are currently good on-line resources that go further — dictionaries with a verb conjugation ‘search’ option. Many basic language books offer some form of audio support. Internet services — primarily news based radio stations — offer podcasts. Audio from television is an additional resource, and can be formatted for use on various digital platforms. However, if audio is an important component of your interest in languages, electronic devices that support quality text-to-speech (TTS) will likely be appealing. With a library card, TTS technology (in a device that supports the relevant content), and the above mentioned resources, an entire language learning system is available for not much more than a cup of coffee! There is no substantial financial outlay to get you started. Furthermore, there are no additional ongoing fees (and updates), and there are no expiry dates on ‘premium’ content and resources.

Book excerpt: A GOOD MORNING AMERICA BOOK CLUB PICK Shortlisted for the 2020 Women's Prize for Fiction “Through a novel with so much depth, beauty, and grace, we, like Ana, are forever changed.” —Jacqueline Woodson, Vanity Fair “Gorgeous writing, gorgeous story.” —Sandra Cisneros Fifteen-year-old Ana Cancion never dreamed of moving to America, the way the girls she grew up with in the Dominican countryside did. But when Juan Ruiz proposes and promises to take her to New York City, she has to say yes. It doesn’t matter that he is twice her age, that there is no love between them. Their marriage is an opportunity for her entire close-knit family to eventually immigrate. So on New Year’s Day, 1965, Ana leaves behind everything she knows and becomes Ana Ruiz, a wife confined to a cold six-floor walk-up in Washington Heights. Lonely and miserable, Ana hatches a reckless plan to escape. But at the bus terminal, she is stopped by Cesar, Juan’s free-spirited younger brother, who convinces her to stay. As the Dominican Republic slides into political turmoil, Juan returns to protect his family’s assets, leaving Cesar to take care of Ana. Suddenly, Ana is free to take English lessons at a local church, lie on the beach at Coney Island, see a movie at Radio City Music Hall, go dancing with Cesar, and imagine the possibility of a different kind of life in America. When Juan returns, Ana must decide once again between her heart and her duty to her family. In bright, musical prose that reflects the energy of New York City, Angie Cruz's Dominicana is a vital portrait of the immigrant experience and the timeless coming-of-age story of a young woman finding her voice in the world.

Download or read book Telara a written by Rafael Vidarte Gonz�lez and published by Palibrio. This book was released on 2013-07 with total page 349 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Telaraña es una crónica de nuestro tiempo en lo que concierne a unos personajes centrales de ficción que pertenecen a dos generaciones próximas y a un emplazamiento espacial concreto, pero que podría fácilmente ampliarse desde Granada hasta cualquier otra ciudad de un país moderno del primer mundo. Es una panorámica general que abarca conflictos significativos, y muchas veces punzantes -si bien, no en la misma medida para todas las personas- en los que el lector quizá se vea reflejado de alguna manera. Así que vamos a ser partícipes acompañantes de varios miembros de una misma familia que tienen formas dispares de situarse ante los acontecimientos y decidir cómo afrontar los dilemas que se presentan a su paso, e incluso de cómo capotear las embestidas más amenazantes que les acechan en momentos impensados. A medida que discurren los entresijos de la trama nos identificaremos de alguna manera con ellos, les comprenderemos o les denostaremos, les animaremos, compadeceremos o, incluso, les amaremos, siempre viendo un algo de nuestros propios dilemas -de nuestro propio yo- en el espejo de sus noveladas identidades.

Download or read book La Historia Secreta de los Jesuitas written by Edmond Paris and published by Chick Publications. This book was released on 2011 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Secretos de los jesuitas no quieren a los cristianos a conocer. Desde Europa escuchamos una voz del mundo secular que documenta, históricamente, la misma información que nos fue dada por ex sacerdotes. Edmond Paris expone con valentía la intervención del Vaticano en la política y en las intrigas mundiales, además de fomentar guerras a través de la historia. Se ve, sin duda alguna, que la institución católica romana no es una iglesia cristiana y jamás lo fue. Proféticamente, es la ramera de la que habla Apocalipsis 17—18. El pobre pueblo católico romano ha sido traicionado por ella y está enfrentando una tragedia espiritual. Quiera Dios usar este libro para ayudarle a hacer un nuevo compromiso, de guiar a los amados católicos romanos al Cristo vivo y verdadero de la Biblia, de modo que sus almas puedan ser salvadas. El autor Edmond París explica porqué él escribió este libro... "La gente prácticamente desconoce la enorme responsabilidad del Vaticano y de los jesuitas en el inicio de las dos guerras mundiales; esto, en parte, se debió a los grandes recursos financieros que el Vaticano y los jesuitas tenían a su disposición, dándoles poder en muchos ámbitos, especialmente después del último conflicto. "En realidad, su papel en aquellos trágicos eventos casi no se ha mencionado sino hasta estos tiempos, excepto por apologistas deseosos de encubrirlo. A fin de rectificar esto y dar a conocer los hechos, presentamos en este libro y en otros la actividad política del Vaticano durante la época contemporánea, la cual tiene que ver también con los jesuitas. "Este estudio se basa en irrefutables documentos de archivo, en publicaciones de conocidos políticos, diplomáticos, embajadores y escritores eminentes —en su mayoría, católicos—, legalizadas incluso por el imprimátur."
Download or read book Decolonizing Diasporas written by Yomaira C Figueroa-Vásquez and published by Northwestern University Press. This book was released on 2020-10-15 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mapping literature from Spanish-speaking sub-Saharan African and Afro-Latinx Caribbean diasporas, Decolonizing Diasporas argues that the works of diasporic writers and artists from Equatorial Guinea, Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic, and Cuba offer new worldviews that unsettle and dismantle the logics of colonial modernity. With women of color feminisms and decolonial theory as frameworks, Yomaira C. Figueroa-Vásquez juxtaposes Afro-Latinx and Afro-Hispanic diasporic artists, analyzing work by Nelly Rosario, Juan Tomás Ávila Laurel, Trifonia Melibea Obono, Donato Ndongo, Junot Díaz, Aracelis Girmay, Loida Maritza Pérez, Ernesto Quiñonez, Christina Olivares, Joaquín Mbomio Bacheng, Ibeyi, Daniel José Older, and María Magdalena Campos-Pons. Figueroa-Vásquez’s study reveals the thematic, conceptual, and liberatory tools these artists offer when read in relation to one another. Decolonizing Diasporas examines how themes of intimacy, witnessing, dispossession, reparations, and futurities are remapped in these works by tracing interlocking structures of oppression, including public and intimate forms of domination, sexual and structural violence, sociopolitical and racial exclusion, and the haunting remnants of colonial intervention. Figueroa-Vásquez contends that these diasporic literatures reveal violence but also forms of resistance and the radical potential of Afro-futurities. This study centers the cultural productions of peoples of African descent as Afro-diasporic imaginaries that subvert coloniality and offer new ways to approach questions of home, location, belonging, and justice.
