Download or read book The Arlington Reader written by Bloom Smith and published by Bedford/st Martins. This book was released on 2003-01 with total page 1173 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on the most exhaustive study ever conducted of the reading selections that have actually been taught in freshman composition, The Arlington Reader is uniquely built on research into what essays -- and what kinds of essays -- work best for college writing classes. Lynn Bloom's research into the essay canon has identified not only the most enduringly popular essays but also the qualities that make them enduringly popular. Therefore, in addition to offering familiar selections that have long proven themselves in the classroom, The Arlington Reader includes an extensive selection of essays that have approached canonical status in the past five years, plus an abundance of new selections that exhibit the qualities that are likely to render them canonical in the future. Each of the ten thematic chapters includes a canonical "magnet essay" that is followed by about ten pages of contextual material, allowing students to get a sense of the original context from which these canonical essays sprung.

Download or read book Arlington Park written by Rachel Cusk and published by Faber & Faber. This book was released on 2010-12-09 with total page 271 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Arlington Park, a modern-day English suburb, is a place devoted to the profitable ordinariness of life. Amidst its leafy avenues and comfortable houses, its residents live out the dubious accomplishments of civilisation: material prosperity, personal freedom, and moral indifference. For all that, Arlington Park is strikingly conventional. Men work, women look after children, and people generally do what's expected of them. Theirs is a world awash with contentment but empty of belief, and riven with strange anxieties. Set over the course of a single rainy day, the novel moves from one household to another, and through the passing hours conducts a deep examination of its characters' lives: of Juliet, enraged at the victory of men over women in family life; of Amanda, warding off thoughts of death with obsessive housework; of Solly, who confronts her own buried femininity in the person of her Italian lodger; of Maisie, despairing at the inevitability with which beauty is destroyed; and of Christine, whose troubled, hilarious spirit presides over Arlington Park and the way of life it represents. Rachel Cusk's sixth novel is her best yet. Full of compassion and wit, each page laden with truth, she writes about her characters' domestic lives, their private thoughts and fears with an intelligence and insight that will leave readers reeling.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pleasant Litchford and his family traveled as freed slaves from Virginia, who settled in Franklin County, Perry Township, Ohio, in the years between 1829-1830. The family struggled alongside other pioneers to establish a home in the Ohio wilderness. By the time of the Civil War, Pleasant was the fourth-largest landowner in Perry Township. He was a staunch advocate for the anti-slavery movement and a strong figure in the Underground Railroad. Pleasant and his family were also founders of the Second Baptist Church in Columbus in the 1840s. This church is still a vibrant part of the community. Pleasant Litchford had a 1/2 acre of his land set aside for a family cemetery on one of his many landholdings. Early in the twentieth century, there was a social shift in the community that mirrored the national climate. Policies were put in place in Upper Arlington by the Thompson brothers, to exclude people of color from landownership in attempts to create an all-white country club community. In 1955, the Litchford Cemetery was removed to build the Upper Arlington High School. Some of the remains were removed, but many were left behind. Those removed ended up in a far back part of Union Cemetery with no markers. They were left there to be forgotten. The rest of the Litchford Cemetery lies beneath the parking lot of the Upper Arlington High School. Since the publishing of the first edition, much has come to light. We need to honor those who settled the harsh wilderness of Ohio. Many residents are working hard to make sure that Pleasant Litchford's story continues. Acknowledging the truth of history and finding ways to make amends to those who have not been provided the respect they deserved, in life and in death.
