Download or read book The Road Not Taken written by David Orr and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2015-08-18 with total page 127 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A cultural “biography” of Robert Frost’s beloved poem, arguably the most popular piece of literature written by an American “Two roads diverged in a yellow wood . . .” One hundred years after its first publication in August 1915, Robert Frost’s poem “The Road Not Taken” is so ubiquitous that it’s easy to forget that it is, in fact, a poem. Yet poetry it is, and Frost’s immortal lines remain unbelievably popular. And yet in spite of this devotion, almost everyone gets the poem hopelessly wrong. David Orr’s The Road Not Taken dives directly into the controversy, illuminating the poem’s enduring greatness while revealing its mystifying contradictions. Widely admired as the poetry columnist for The New York Times Book Review, Orr is the perfect guide for lay readers and experts alike. Orr offers a lively look at the poem’s cultural influence, its artistic complexity, and its historical journey from the margins of the First World War all the way to its canonical place today as a true masterpiece of American literature. “The Road Not Taken” seems straightforward: a nameless traveler is faced with a choice: two paths forward, with only one to walk. And everyone remembers the traveler taking “the one less traveled by, / And that has made all the difference.” But for a century readers and critics have fought bitterly over what the poem really says. Is it a paean to triumphant self-assertion, where an individual boldly chooses to live outside conformity? Or a biting commentary on human self-deception, where a person chooses between identical roads and yet later romanticizes the decision as life altering? What Orr artfully reveals is that the poem speaks to both of these impulses, and all the possibilities that lie between them. The poem gives us a portrait of choice without making a decision itself. And in this, “The Road Not Taken” is distinctively American, for the United States is the country of choice in all its ambiguous splendor. Published for the poem’s centennial—along with a new Penguin Classics Deluxe Edition of Frost’s poems, edited and introduced by Orr himself—The Road Not Taken is a treasure for all readers, a triumph of artistic exploration and cultural investigation that sings with its own unforgettably poetic voice.

Download or read book Beyond the Troubled Water of Shifei written by Lin Ma and published by SUNY Press. This book was released on 2019-06-01 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Offers the first focused study of the shifei debates of the Warring States period in ancient China and challenges the imposition of Western conceptual categories onto these debates. In recent decades, a growing concern in studies in Chinese intellectual history is that Chinese classics have been forced into systems of classification prevalent in Western philosophy and thus imperceptibly transformed into examples that echo Western philosophy. Lin Ma and Jaap van Brakel offer a methodology to counter this approach, and illustrate their method by carrying out a transcultural inquiry into the complexities involved in understanding shi and fei and their cognate phrases in the Warring States texts, the Zhuangzi in particular. The authors discuss important features of Zhuangzi’s stance with regard to language-meaning, knowledge-doubt, questioning, equalizing, and his well-known deconstruction of the discourse in ancient China on shifei. Ma and van Brakel suggest that shi and fei apply to both descriptive and prescriptive languages and do not presuppose any fact/value dichotomy, and thus cannot be translated as either true/false or right/wrong. Instead, shi and feican be grasped in terms of a pre-philosophical notion of fitting. Ma and van Brakel also highlight Zhuangzi’s idea of “walking-two-roads” as the most significant component of his stance. In addition, they argue that all of Zhuangzi’s positive recommendations are presented in a language whose meaning is not fixed and that every stance he is committed to remains subject to fundamental questioning as a way of life.

This book was released on 2019-03-11 with total page 363 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Practical strategies for bringing The Learning Challenge to life in your secondary ELA classroom The Learning Challenge has captured the imaginations of educators, students, and their parents by introducing the idea of Learning Pit"—a state of cognitive conflict that causes students to think more deeply, critically, and strategically until they discover their "eureka!" moment. Now, fans of the The Learning Challenge who want practical examples and ready-to-use lessons for their secondary ELA classrooms need not look any further. This book provides teachers with everything they need to run thoughtful, dialogue-driven challenges so that students engage more deeply with the classics and develop literary skills critical to ELA standards. Students will analyze texts in lessons grounded in cognitive conflicts such as We are all responsible for our own actions, and yet we sometimes act because we are following orders or instructions from others (Lesson 1: Who was responsible for the death of William in Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein?) To be successful you cannot fail, but most successful people have experienced many failures along the way (Lesson 7: Was Jay Gatsby a success?) Love is impossible to define, and yet everyone knows what love is (Lesson 11: Is Romeo really in love?) From detailed lesson plans and activities for running Learning Challenges in the classroom, to full-color activity cards that enhance each lesson, this must-have resource offers relevant and timely instructional strategies on topics that interest and engage secondary students.

Download or read book Improper Assembly of the Body of Christ written by Bishop J. G. Riles Sr. and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2020-08-23 with total page 125 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Improper Assembly of the Body of Christ is a book written to challenge how the church today looks at, extracts, ingests, and dissects scripture, especially with our recipe used to congregate and formulate the assembling of the true church. This book is a strong reminder of the biblical protocol. As Jehovah stressed to Moses, “See that thou do all things according to the pattern shown thee in the Mount.” In this book, Bishop Riles seeks to reestablish biblical principles and truths. It is written to increase unity in the body of Christ and tear down and remove walls, barriers, and partisans never supposed to have been in the first place. It is to ensure that the blood of God’s truth circulates to the least extreme and remotest parts of the body of Christ. Pauper or king, Sunday stroller or Holy Roller, we must all strive to be the church of the faith, where everybody is welcome to take a seat. Some might be tempted to think that it is impossible to have unity—we are just too different! We come from different backgrounds and have different styles of praise and worship, we express ourselves differently, and we enjoy distinctively different things. You may ask, “Bishop, how in the world do you propose that we can be unified?” To achieve corporate unanimity, we must come to the understanding that unity is not “sameness or uniformity.” The Christian’s unity is a unity in diversity. Like Baskin-Robbins, we exhibit thirty-eight flavors and varieties. We can be different but not divided. We must learn not to compete or to compare but to celebrate our incompatibilities. God did not create the earth in just browns and earth tones. God views the world through a kaleidoscope. It is a beautiful bouquet. The church must be an array of multiplicity—multicolored and multicultural. The church is the “rainbow coalition.” God is calling his family in for suppertime. At suppertime, my mother’s rule was that she would never call us to eat at the table separately or individually. Instead, we all had to eat together at the same table at the same time or not eat at all. The church needs to be an accurate sample of unity and a proper example of what it truly means to unite and be a unit. If you dip a glass into the Pacific Ocean in California and you return to Texas with that glass of water, you cannot say you have the entire Pacific Ocean in a glass. But perhaps you have an accurate sample or a proper example of the Pacific Ocean in that glass. A cake, a pie, or even cornbread has many ingredients essential to the texture and flavor of the cornbread, pie, and cake. You cannot bake a pie or a cake with a cornbread recipe or with cornbread ingredients or bake cornbread with a pie or cake recipe or ingredients. In a cake recipe, all the ingredients are different, all the ingredients aren’t sweet or agreeable, but all ingredients are necessary for the success of delicious cake. Any ingredient alone is not a cake. Sugar alone does not constitute a pie or a cake. Flour, vanilla, eggs, or butter alone, independent of one another, does not make a pie or a cake or cornbread. It is not until you homogenize them and blend them—mix, mingle, marry, merge, scramble, and place them together in a hot oven—that they come together to make cake, pie, or cornbread. In this last hour, God is removing the walls, barriers, and partisans never supposed to have been there in the first place. God is scrambling up his church. He will keep on scrambling until you cannot tell where the yoke or the yellow begins and the white ends. He is going to scramble until we do not choose ministries based solely on race, culture, or ethnicity but based upon whether there is a move in that ministry. Like the black-and-white keys on a piano, the church belongs to all of us. It is time for us to go back to the Bible. God has given us his word to live by, and there is just no other way to please him.

Book excerpt: It has been about two thousand years since the life of Jesus Christ, but his memory has not been forgotten. The Bible is the most read book of all time, and recently movies have come out about Jesus. How then is it that Christianity has gotten so far from the teachings and life of the basis for the belief? We have gone from a man who always showed love to everyone and a man who was poor in earthly standards, to a religion with materialism and elitism. Enter a world where Kings rule and Priests reign. In this world, there are only two countries, and neither knows about the other one. The first country is ruled by the High Priest, who speaks on behalf of the creator. The people of this country have a large set of rules to follow, and because of their morality, they have thrived as a nation. Their city has large buildings, and their temple resembles that of a very powerful King. The people here worship the creator, and they do not tolerate anyone who doesnat believe what they do. The country is divided into two classes: the believers and the unbelievers. The unbelievers are struck with poverty and disease. They are on the brink of annihilation, with no hope in sight. Across the ocean is another country that is ruled by their King. The King is a servant of the people, and he always puts the peopleas needs in front of his own. His family has always been in power, but the King is growing old, and he was not able to have a son, only a daughter. The people of this country do not worship the creator, for they know nothing about him. They put all of their hope in their King. A new man soon arrives to this country, and he catches the eye of the princess. The people look to this man to be their newKing, but this man has ulterior motives for the throne. The only one who can challenge him for the throne is a young man who is in an inner struggle between the forces of evil and the forces of good. You see, the world has not always been this way, for the creator was once the focus of all who roamed the earth. What went wrong, and why did the creator let it happen? Will the forces of dark win, or will light once again cover the world? Will false religion win, or will love?
