Book excerpt: A lifetime of living a certain way does not mean it is healthy, or even how it needs to continue. We learn from our inner circle, and we are nurtured differently from the moment we are accepted into our new families. As we grow and are exposed to more outside influences, our perspectives change. The Laughter That turned the wind follows two polar-opposite families who become neighbours. Their lives are touched by friendships that change their personal view of how we should interact in this chaotic and ever-changing world. The Robins are a conservative Christian family who live as their family has for generations - within the church. Family secrets remain hidden with devastating effects on the mind, especially on the head of the family, George. His marriage to Primrose becomes entangled when they become involved in something that challenges their values and moral code and leads them towards a new existence. Lives are separated and a once-committed strong Christian family becomes broken by the very world that was supposed to bring them closer. Sometimes it is the very ones we judge and close our minds to that may bring about the greatest personal growth. The Brooks family live in harmony with the earth, and through circumstances beyond their control they need to move to the city. They bring with them love, laughter and a way of life that crosses the dividing fence, opening new doors for their conservative neighbours.Both families face different challenges and how they deal with them changes their destiny. This is a story of personal growth, of challenging and changing a lifetime of conditioning and learning to live, love and laugh, despite the differences.Come on a journey that will take you into different worlds as they collide and bring you back to one place; a place that brings about everlasting change. Does the perfect world really exist? And who is its creator? Something out there, or something within us?Only you can answer that.

Download or read book The Laughing Monsters written by Denis Johnson and published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux. This book was released on 2014-11-04 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Denis Johnson's New York Times bestseller, The Laughing Monsters, is a high-suspense tale of kaleidoscoping loyalties in the post-9/11 world that shows one of our great novelists at the top of his game. Roland Nair calls himself Scandinavian but travels on a U.S. passport. After ten years' absence, he returns to Freetown, Sierra Leone, to reunite with his friend Michael Adriko. They once made a lot of money here during the country's civil war, and, curious to see whether good luck will strike twice in the same place, Nair has allowed himself to be drawn back to a region he considers hopeless. Adriko is an African who styles himself a soldier of fortune and who claims to have served, at various times, the Ghanaian army, the Kuwaiti Emiri Guard, and the American Green Berets. He's probably broke now, but he remains, at thirty-six, as stirred by his own doubtful schemes as he was a decade ago. Although Nair believes some kind of money-making plan lies at the back of it all, Adriko's stated reason for inviting his friend to Freetown is for Nair to meet Adriko's fiancée, a grad student from Colorado named Davidia. Together the three set out to visit Adriko's clan in the Uganda-Congo borderland—but each of these travelers is keeping secrets from the others. Their journey through a land abandoned by the future leads Nair, Adriko, and Davidia to meet themselves not in a new light, but rather in a new darkness.
Download or read book Maoist Laughter written by Ping Zhu and published by Hong Kong University Press. This book was released on 2019-08-01 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: WINNER — 2020 Choice’s Outstanding Academic Title During the Mao years, laughter in China was serious business. Simultaneously an outlet for frustrations and grievances, a vehicle for socialist education, and an object of official study, laughter brought together the political, the personal, the aesthetic, the ethical, the affective, the physical, the aural, and the visual. The ten essays in Maoist Laughter convincingly demonstrate that the connection between laughter and political culture was far more complex than conventional conceptions of communist indoctrination can explain. Their sophisticated readings of a variety of genres—including dance, cartoon, children’s literature, comedy, regional oral performance, film, and fiction—uncover many nuanced innovations and experiments with laughter during what has been too often misinterpreted as an unrelentingly bleak period. In Mao’s China, laughter helped to regulate both political and popular culture and often served as an indicator of shifting values, alliances, and political campaigns. In exploring this phenomenon, Maoist Laughter is a significant correction to conventional depictions of socialist China. “Maoist Laughter brings together prominent scholars of contemporary China to make a timely and original contribution to the burgeoning field of Maoist literature and culture. One of its main strengths lies in the sheer number of genres covered, including dance, traditional Chinese performance, visual arts, film, and literature. The focus on humor in the Maoist period gives an exciting new perspective from which to understand cultural production in twentieth-century China.” —Krista Van Fleit, University of South Carolina “An illuminating study of the culture of laughter in the Maoist period. Focusing on much-neglected topics such as satire, jokes, and humor, this book is an essential contribution to our understanding of how socialist culture actually ‘worked’ as a coherent, dynamic, and constructive life experience. The chapters show that traditional culture could almost blend perfectly with revolutionary mission.” —Xiaomei Chen, University of California, Davis

Book excerpt: Rebecca Wilcox’s curiosity about the disturbance of an old grave overcomes her fear of the cemetery’s reputation for being haunted. After all, she’s in college now. Armed with only a name and some dates, her search leads her to sophomore Olivia Harmon. Olivia is equally curious about the grave and its occupant, but it’s not just an exercise in research to her. Family secrets—new and old—are buried in that grave. Used to hiding her sexuality to keep the peace, Olivia balks at more lies, and her already fractured family falls apart. Her friendship with Rebecca, however, only deepens. Comforted and distracted by their feelings, Rebecca and Olivia might even give up their quest, until a final clue and a shocking revelation turns what they thought they knew upside down. SL Harris debuts with a love story of two young women searching for answers and finding them in each other.
Download or read book Rebellious Laughter written by Joseph Boskin and published by Syracuse University Press. This book was released on 1997-11-01 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rebellious Laughter changes the way we think about the ordinary joke. Claiming that humor in America is a primary cultural weapon, Boskin surveys the multitude of joke cycles that have swept the country during the last fifty years. Dumb Blonde jokes. Elephant jokes. Jewish-American Princess jokes. Lightbulb jokes. Readers will enjoy humor from many diverse sources: whites, blacks, women, and Hispanics; conservatives and liberals; public workers and university students; the powerless and power brokers. Boskin argues that jokes provide a cultural barometer of concerns and anxieties, frequently appearing in our day-to-day language long before these issues become grist for stand-up comics.

Book excerpt: When we reach out and touch the common threads quietly spun between different, even seemingly contradictory human spiritualities, we begin to attain a far more enriched and empowered understanding of humanity — and a deeper understanding of ourselves, personally. God Whispers on the Wind is a collection of 81 spiritual poems that guides a reader of any faith to truly touch those common threads: the perpetual and binding human qualities of love, happiness, purposeful living and shared experience that make humans so exceptionally unique as spiritual beings. From the author of Lead Without Followers, writer Dave Ursillo ventures into an open, heart-warming, free-form poetic style in a deep and introspection glimpse into the mind of a young generational thinker. In this poetic exploration of God, Spirit, the Universe, and the higher power to which we are all connected, God Whispers on the Wind invokes a light-hearted and playful voice, drawing from occasional humor, cursing, hilarity and even heresy. Indisputably, this debut collection leaves a memorable imprint upon the reader with Ursillo's inimitably heart-stoking style. And featuring original contributions from seven talented writers from across the globe, God Whispers on the Wind is a true celebration of the diversity of human spirituality. Whatever you believe, God Whispers on the Wind will serve as a gentle reminder that we are forever connected to a couple of important things: to the ether, and to one another.

A word has power, dreams, and life, so he must say good things and say something positive. It tells you that you can accomplish what you dream by adding your own feelings and wish adding "hahaha" laughter energy, and you can go toward your goal through laughter energy.
