Download or read book Quest for a Family Pet written by Sonya Correll Cook and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2008 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Adventures of Nique, Nick, and Nelle" invites you into the lives of three young children who have the unique ability to turn everyday events into fun filled adventures. The first book of this series, "Quest for a Family Pet", is derived from a true story of how three young children try to "butter up" mom to purchase a puppy for their family. This adventure is told through the eyes of Nique (pronounced NEEK), the 10 year old big brother who is very funny and too smart for his own good. In this book Nique, Nick, and Nelle are very creative as they try to convince mom that they are ready to care for a pet. Mom loves her children very much, and would love for them to have a pet. But are they really ready for a puppy? Sonya Correll Cook is the oldest of four children and was born and raised in North Carolina. Over the years she has written numerous poems, songs, short stories, dedications, and newsletters. She has now focused her talents on writing picture books that appeal to children of diverse backgrounds. Sonya is a mother of three and strongly believes the family unit remains to be the strongest entity in society and the most impressionable in a child's life. She strives to instill strong morals and spiritual values in her children through everyday activities and experiences. "Through the eyes of a child", "A picture is worth a thousand words", and "Train up a child in the way he should go..." Proverbs 22:6 (KJV) These quotes inspired Sonya to create a series of fiction picture books. These books were created through the eyes of her children and to be enjoyed by young readers of diverse backgrounds. The product of this family collaboration is a series of books entitled "The Adventures of Nique, Nick, and Nelle". Everyone has a family, be it a one or two parent family, grandparent(s) raising grandchildren, or close nit friends. Members of all families are exposed to the same subtle lessons, they're just dressed differently. After all, Life Love, and Lessons are what families are about and lessons learned through laughter are not easily forgotten. Look for the second and third books of this series, "...And That's How the Cookie Crumbled", and "Nick's Big Game" to be released in 2008.

Book excerpt: "Sonya Lalli's savvy novel puts relationships in all of their forms--family, friends, and romance--on even footing as a young woman works to find happiness."--Shelf Awareness Serena Singh is tired of everyone telling her what she should want--and she is ready to prove to her mother, her sister, and the aunties in her community that a woman does not need domestic bliss to have a happy life. Things are going according to plan for Serena. She’s smart, confident, and just got a kick-ass new job at a top advertising firm in Washington, D.C. Even before her younger sister gets married in a big, traditional wedding, Serena knows her own dreams don’t include marriage or children. But with her mother constantly encouraging her to be more like her sister, Serena can’t understand why her parents refuse to recognize that she and her sister want completely different experiences out of life. A new friendship with her co-worker, Ainsley, comes as a breath of fresh air, challenging Serena’s long-held beliefs about the importance of self-reliance. She’s been so focused on career success that she’s let all of her hobbies and close friendships fall by the wayside. As Serena reconnects with her family and friends--including her ex-boyfriend--she learns letting people in can make her happier than standing all on her own.

But the sound of it is the only beautiful thing about it. As life slips away, Gabriel looks back over his brief twenty years, which have been clouded by frustration and humiliation. A small, unforgiving town and distant, punitive parents ensure that he is never allowed to forget the horrific mistake he made as a child. He has only two friends - his dog, Surrender, and the unruly wild boy, Finnigan, a shadowy doppelganger with whom the meek Gabriel once made a boyhood pact. But when a series of arson attacks grips the town, Gabriel realizes how unpredictable and dangerous Finnigan is. As events begin to spiral violently out of control, it becomes devastatingly clear that only the most extreme measures will rid Gabriel of Finnigan for good.

Download or read book Tolstoy s Family Prototypes in War and Peace written by Brett Cooke and published by Academic Studies PRess. This book was released on 2020-11-24 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What were the consequences of Tolstoy’s unusual reliance on members of his family as source material for War and Peace? Did affection for close relatives influence depictions of these real prototypes in his fictional characters? Tolstoy used these models to consider his origins, to ponder alternative family histories, and to critique himself. Comparison of the novel and its fascinating drafts with the writer’s family history reveals increasing preferential treatment of those with greater relatedness to him: kin altruism, i.e., nepotism. This pattern helps explain many of Tolstoy’s choices amongst plot variants he considered, as well as some of the curious devices he utilizes to get readers to share his biases, such as coincidences, notions of “fate,” and aversion to incest.
