Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Munchie is a mischievous but lovable chartreuse parakeet who lives with red-haired “Grandmommie,” as her grandchildren call her. Munchie has spent his life inside as a pet, but one special day, he gets to go out on the patio while Grandmommie gardens. There, he becomes more enamored with the majestic blue jay. The blue jay is Munchie’s favorite bird. He loves their brilliant blue wings and stark, white breast. Blue jays are unmistakably brave, are scared of nothing, and appear to have appointed themselves leaders of the backyard birds. Yes, Munchie wants to be just like a blue jay. He dreams of joining their ranks and flying free from Grandmommie’s back porch. When his dream of freedom comes true, though, things aren’t quite as wonderful as Munchie imagined. He causes Grandmommie great worry and finds unforseen danger at every turn. However, during his grand adventure, Munchie also learns a very important lesson about God’s plan for him and about the love of a best friend.

Download or read book Blue Cats and Chartreuse Kittens written by Patricia Lynne Duffy and published by Henry Holt and Company. This book was released on 2011-04-01 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Imagine a world in which words have colors and sounds have tastes. In his autobiography, Vladimir Nabokov described this neurological phenomenon, which helped inspire David Hockney's sets for the Metropolitan Opera. Richard Feynman experienced it while formulating the quantum theory that won him a Nobel Prize. Sometimes described as a blending of perceptions, synesthesia occurs when only one of the fives senses is aroused but two respond. Journalist Patricia Lynne Duffy draws from her own struggles and breakthroughs with synesthesia to help us better understand the condition, while describing some of the major theories surrounding it. An illuminating examination of the world of synesthetes, Blue Cats and Chartreuse Kittens is a must-read for science and health buffs, as well as for artists, writers, and creative thinkers-or anyone generally intrigued by the brain, the senses, and perception.

Download or read book Blue Jay and Found Objects written by Carmine Giordano and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2022-12-07 with total page 510 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On the front jacket of this volume is a photograph I took at a museum ecology exhibit of a Blue Jay sculpted by “trash artist” artist Thomas Deininger from the collected flotsam and jetsam of the sea: pieces of iron, mesh, wood, plastic, and other cast-away items from many water ways — items which appear close-up on the back cover. The artist’s work is a literal reflection of the way the ragtag emotional and physical pieces of a life may also be compiled and wonderfully transformed through the language of poetry: the way in this collection one’s struggle with religious guilt is portrayed as an all-night “wrastle” with an angel; the way the arc of one’s life is mirrored in the bud and blossom of potted amaryllis bulbs; the way heaven might be traded in another poem for a slice of pizza; the way one’s troubling thoughts need to be extracted on another page with the help of an exorcist.

Download or read book The Writer s Body Lexicon written by Kathy Steinemann and published by K. Steinemann Enterprises. This book was released on 2020-06-17 with total page 688 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ordinary writers describe the body in order to evoke images in readers’ minds. Extraordinary writers leverage it to add elements such as tension, intrigue, and humor. The Writer’s Body Lexicon provides tools for both approaches. Kathy Steinemann provides a boggling number of word choices and phrases for body parts, organized under similar sections in most chapters: • Emotion Beats and Physical Manifestations • Adjectives • Similes and Metaphors • Colors and Variegations • Scents • Shapes • Verbs and Phrasal Verbs • Nouns • Prompts • Clichés and Idioms Sprinkled throughout, you’ll also find hundreds of story ideas. They pop up in similes, metaphors, word lists, and other nooks and crannies. Readers don’t want every character to be a cardboard cutout with a perfect physique. They prefer real bodies with imperfections that drive character actions and reactions — bodies with believable skin, scents, and colors. For instance, a well-dressed CEO whose infrequent smile exposes poorly maintained teeth might be on the verge of bankruptcy. A gorgeous cougar with decaying teeth, who tells her young admirer she’s rich, could spook her prey. Someone trying to hide a cigarette habit from a spouse might be foiled by nicotine stains. Add depth to your writing. Rather than just describe the body, exploit it. Build on it. Mold it until it becomes an integral part of your narrative. “… a timeless resource: You’ll find advice, prompts, ideas, vocabulary, humor, and everything in between. But more importantly, it will make your characters stand out from the crowd.” — Nada Sobhi

Download or read book Midwestern Native Shrubs and Trees written by Charlotte Adelman and published by Ohio University Press. This book was released on 2017-03-30 with total page 658 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this companion volume to the bestselling The Midwestern Native Garden: Native Alternatives to Nonnative Flowers and Plants, Charlotte Adelman and Bernard L. Schwartz offer another indispensible guide to replacing nonnative plants with native alternatives. This time, their subject is the native woody species that are the backbone of our gardens and landscapes. Among other ecological benefits, native shrubs and trees provide birds and butterflies with vital food and reproductive sites that nonnative species cannot offer. And they tend to be hardier and easier to maintain. The authors provide a comprehensive selection of native woody alternatives that, season by season, provide effects similar to those of nonnative shrubs and trees used for ornamental purposes and shade. These plants are suitable for all garden styles, provide blooms and fall color, and have the same cultivation requirements as their nonnative counterparts. Nature notes alert readers to the native species’ unique ecological roles. Unlike other gardening guides, Midwestern Native Shrubs and Trees goes beyond mere suggestion to provide gardeners with the tools they need to make informed, thoughtful choices. Knowing which native species to plant for desired effects empowers landscapers and gardeners to take on a greater role in protecting our midwestern environment.

Fourteen-year-old Jason Aloysius Garrity is now of age to work full-time in a Pennsylvania coal factory, earning four dollars a week. His family left their hardscrabble life in Ireland to create a better one in America. But their shanty-like home on a street filled with outhouses, horse manure, and the ever-present odor of noxious gas is a hell all its own. Yet Jason possesses the passion and principles that will lift him out of the abject poverty surrounding his widowed mother, fanatically religious younger brother, and manipulative crippled sister. With World War I looming on the horizon, Jason begins to make his way in Belleville’s burgeoning business world. He marries beautiful, wealthy Patricia Mulligan, unaware that their union is built on a deception that will have far-reaching consequences not only in his life but in the lives of his three children. Filled with unforgettable characters, this masterful retelling of the Book of Job depicts one man’s will to succeed amidst the slings and arrows of fortune.
