  • Release : 2016-09-06
  • ISBN : 0425287769
  • Pages : 260 pages

Download or read book Ugly written by Robert Hoge and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2016-09-06 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A funny, moving, and true story of an ordinary boy with an extraordinary face that's perfect for fans of Wonder—now available in the U.S. When Robert Hoge was born, he had a tumor the size of a tennis ball in the middle of his face and short, twisted legs. Surgeons removed the tumor and made him a new nose from one of his toes. Amazingly, he survived—with a face that would never be the same. Strangers stared at him. Kids called him names, and adults could be cruel, too. Everybody seemed to agree that he was “ugly.” But Robert refused to let his face define him. He played pranks, got into trouble, had adventures with his big family, and finally found a sport that was perfect for him to play. And Robert came face to face with the biggest decision of his life, he followed his heart. This poignant memoir about overcoming bullying and thriving with disabilities shows that what makes us “ugly” also makes us who we are. It features a reflective foil cover and black-and-white illustrations throughout.

The time is spring, 1865. Abbys a rather clumsy little redhead with freckles who is careless in her dress, is late for breakfast, asks countless questions, lacks any visible sign of becoming a lady and is obsessed with President Lincoln. Martin doesnt understand why a child, especially a girl, should be so interested in Mr. Lincoln and the Civil War that appears to be coming to an end, although the South is struggling to hold on. Martin refuses to listen when Abby tries to explain that her mother, who died a year ago, had admired the President and told Abby that if she paid attention, she could learn compassion and humility from him. Abby always becomes angry when magazines and newspapers call her beloved Mr. Lincoln all manner of shameful names, such as: ugly, buffoon and gorilla, Shes determined to meet him and shake his hand one day. Robert, the boy she secretly likes, has gone to the White House and shaken hands with the President. Unaware of her fathers sense of helplessness with regard to her upbringing, and the depth of his pain over the death of her mother, Abby concludes that her father doesnt love her, something she desperately needs. Two former slaves reside in their house: Shala who is their housekeeper and Yabu, a tall, quiet boy of thirteen whom Shala rescued when he ran away from an abusive owner. Yabus duties are to help Shala and to accompany Abby any time she is permitted to take a walk. The streets of Washington City are full of soldiers, prisoners, horses and all manner of war equipment. The city still fears that General Robert E. Lee may try to capture the city. So, even when cannons boom all over the city to announce the end of the war, Abby is terrified. Her only friends have moved away, but her Uncle Chris, who lost a leg at Gettysburg, visits occasionally, and they play checkers. Each night, she finds comfort in opening her diary and writing a letter to her mother. A friend of Abbys father, Luke Cunningham, arrives from Springfield, Illinois, to get help in locating his missing brother. He wishes Mr. Lincoln could help. During her walks, Abby becomes acquainted with Tad Lincoln, the Presidents youngest son, who plays with his dog on the White House lawn. Tad offers to take Abby into the White House to meet his father someday. Disobeying her father, because she just cannot stay indoors on a sparkling spring day, Abby forces Yabu to sneak off with her to the White House. When caught, she uses the excuse that Tad said tomorrow she may bring Mr. Cunningham, and he will take them to his fathers office, which he does. So, finally, Abby shakes the Presidents hand, is served refreshments by Mrs. Lincoln, plays with Tad and sees his little theater, a day shell never forget. Abbys father had promised to take her to Fords Theatre on Friday evening when the President and Mrs. Lincoln plan to be there. However, her father is ill, so Mr. Cunningham takes Abby. Pandemonium ensues when John Wilkes Booth shoots Mr. Lincoln, leaps from the Presidents box onto the stage and escapes. Somehow, Abby and her escort make it to the sidewalk in front of the theater. Amidst the frantic, shoving crowd, Abby is torn from Mr. Cunninghams hands. In shock and unable to free herself from under a mans voluminous cape, she is nearly crushed to death. Police rescue her, and Mr. Cunningham takes her home. The story ends in May, 1865, when Abby is invited to Roberts party. Its her party, too, since they share the same birthday. Robert thrills Abby with special attention, and she finds she has made new friends after telling them about her exciting visit to the White House.

Book The Bhikku

    Book Details:
  • Author : Clemens Maria Heymkind
  • Publisher : tredition
  • Release : 2022-03-31
  • ISBN : 3347602013
  • Pages : 65 pages

Download or read book The Bhikku written by Clemens Maria Heymkind and published by tredition. This book was released on 2022-03-31 with total page 65 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Where to go in a world full of adversity and lies? This is the question the little ugly man asks himself. We are no strangers to this question either. »Tread new paths and let go of what you cling to« resounds in his heart. Which paths can we take out of the limited spaces of unwholesome thinking? Of course, we can and should change and shape ourselves and the world around us. But, the deepest change we can ultimately give to the world is most likely that of coming into our own, at the center of our being – that is, where our true home is. The parable The Bhikku addresses the path that leads to present awareness through conscious inhalation and exhalation, and which is described by many Eastern and Western teachings. The little ugly man's stops on his journey to the holy Bhikku (which means "monk" in Pali) are described in an archetypal way, rendering the monk as an independent authority on the inner cosmos of man. The fairytale-like narrative is the fruit of the author's own journey as well as a tribute to the holy women and men he met on his numerous travels in Southeast Asia.
