Book Death of a Hornet and Other Cape Cod Essays

Download or read book Death of a Hornet and Other Cape Cod Essays written by Robert Finch and published by National Geographic Books. This book was released on 2001-03-23 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Essays on the natural history of the Cape Cod region document changes in the environment, and in the author's life. Spanning more than 20 years, these essays record changes not only in the natural environment of Cape Cod but in the writer's own life. Death of a Hornet is one man's elegant rendering of Cape Cod, a sandy, scrub-oaked, tough, and vulnerable spit of land reaching out into the Atlantic Ocean. These stories are natural adventures that Finch's previous readers have come to expect, as well as longer meditations on the future of the Cape's fragile environment, on living in one place for a long time, and on the limitations of human sympathy.

Download or read book Story written by Harold Scheub and published by Univ of Wisconsin Press. This book was released on 1998-10-01 with total page 365 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is the essence of story? How does the storyteller convey meaning? Leading scholar Harold Scheub tackles these questions and more, demonstrating that the power of story lies in emotion. While others have focused on the importance of structure in the art of story, Scheub emphasizes emotion. He shows how an expert storyteller uses structural elements—image, rhythm, and narrative—to shape a story's fundamental emotional content. The storyteller uses traditional images, repetition, and linear narrative to move the audience past the story’s surface of morals and ideas, and make connections to their past, present, and future. To guide the audience on this emotional journey is the storyteller’s art. The traditional stories from South African, Xhosa, and San cultures included in the book lend persuasive support to Scheub’s. These stories speak for themselves, demonstrating that a skilled performer can stir emotions despite the obstacles of space, time, and culture.

Book The Uncoiling Python

    Book Details:
  • Author : Harold Scheub
  • Publisher : Ohio University Press
  • Release : 2010-08-10
  • ISBN : 0821419226
  • Pages : 257 pages

Download or read book The Uncoiling Python written by Harold Scheub and published by Ohio University Press. This book was released on 2010-08-10 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The oral and written traditions of the Africans of South Africa have provided an understanding of their past and the way the past relates to the present. These traditions continue to shape the past by the present, and vice versa. From the time colonial forces first came to the region in 1487, oral and written traditions have been a bulwark against what became 350 years of colonial rule, characterized by the racist policies of apartheid. The Uncoiling Python: South African Storytellers and Resistance is the first in-depth study of how Africans used oral traditions as a means of survival against European domination. Africans resisted colonial rule from the beginning. They participated in open insurrections and other subversive activities in order to withstand the daily humiliations of colonial rule. Perhaps the most effective and least apparent expression of subversion was through indigenous storytelling and poetic traditions. Harold Scheub has collected the stories and poetry of the Xhosa, Zulu, Swati, and Ndebele peoples to present a fascinating analysis of how the apparently harmless tellers of tales and creators of poetry acted as front-line soldiers.
