Download or read book The Last Ride in to Readville written by Michael Boudreau and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2019-03-20 with total page 175 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When they talk about it now, the Boudreau siblings will say all the moving they did as children left them lacking their own, true sense of place?all thanks to their crazy parents. But all those moves are just a part of this story. After surviving physical and psychological abuse and more than seventy moves all around Boston by age eighteen, Michael Boudreau escaped into the wild blue yonder before returning home after thirty years. His father had long died, his mother's psychological grip remained firm, and his several siblings were still coping with bitter feelings they held toward them both. Most of them were mired in painful memories but clinging with a vanishing hope that somehow Ma would show contrition and offer penance for herself and her late husband. Nevertheless, the author jumped back into the center of his sideways family in hopes of helping them all?including himself?to find answers, healing, and maybe even forgiveness.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bicycles have more cultural identities than many realize, functioning not only as literal vehicles in a text but also as “vehicles” for that text’s themes, ideas, and critiques. In the late nineteenth century the bicycle was seen as a way for the wealthy urban elite to reconnect with nature and for women to gain a measure of personal freedom, while during World War II it became a utilitarian tool of the French Resistance and in 1970s China stood for wealth and modernization. Lately it has functioned variously as the favored ideological steed of environmentalists, a means of community bonding and aesthetic self-expression in hip hop, and the ride of choice for bike messenger–idolizing urban hipsters. Culture on Two Wheels analyzes the shifting cultural significance of the bicycle by examining its appearances in literary, musical, and cinematic works spanning three continents and more than 125 years of history. Bringing together essays by a variety of cyclists and scholars with myriad angles of approach, this collection highlights the bicycle’s flexibility as a signifier and analyzes the appearance of bicycles in canonical and well-known texts such as Samuel Beckett’s modernist novel Molloy, the Oscar-winning film Breaking Away, and various Stephen King novels and stories, as well as in lesser-known but equally significant texts, such as the celebrated Russian director Andrei Tarkovsky’s film Sacrifice and Elizabeth Robins Pennell’s nineteenth-century travelogue A Canterbury Pilgrimage, the latter of which traces the route of Chaucer’s pilgrims via bicycle.

Download or read book The Richardson Light Guard of Wakefield Massachusetts written by Barry M. Stentiford and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2013-05-03 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book traces the history of the Richardson Light Guard of Wakefield, Massachusetts, from its origins in 1851 until its end in 1975. What had been an institution of community members and local elites passed to town, then state, and finally federal government. During the same period, Wakefield evolved from an agrarian town to a manufacturing town and finally to a bedroom suburb, ending the practice of a handful of local elites ruling the town unchallenged. Though the rise of the National Guard was generally positive, for some militia companies, inclusion in the National Guard weakened vital bonds with their communities. In the 19th century, the Richardson Light Guard thrived under generous patrons, a supportive town, and a relatively wealthy state government. After becoming part of the National Guard in 1916, the links with its home community steadily weakened, finally breaking during World War II. After the war, the National Guard company had few links to Wakefield and was reorganized out of existence in 1975.
