Download or read book Bitsy and the Legend of the Christmas Spider an American Adaptation written by Norma Linda Herrera and published by . This book was released on 2021-10-31 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If you enjoy "'Twas the Night Before Christmas" and "Charlotte's Web" than you are bound to enjoy this delightful and vividly illustrated tale. But first, let me tell you why I wrote the story. One Christmas, I received two beautiful colorful beaded spiders, each accompanied with a poem "The Legend of the Christmas Spider". Each had their own version of the tale, but the main topics were the same. Spiders spinning "dusty gray spider webs" on these beautiful Christmas trees and a "young mother" who, in this adaptation, is now a "Nana".I loved the poems and researching them, I discovered they originated in an Eastern European country. The legends have been kept alive by being passed on from generation to generation throughout the old world into the present. I found this intriguing and as a creative artist and bead designer, I was inspired so, I adapted the legend, as an American Adaptation, to include the "Christmas Story" ... Believing in the birth of Baby Jesus and in the "Magic of Christmas" cleverly told through the eyes of one special spider ... introducing "Bitsy", the most curious spider of all.This tale unfolds with Bitsy not only discovering her first Christmas tree ... encountering Santa Claus ... witnessing "Christmas Magic" and seeing spider webs turn into "silver tinsel:; but, also, experiencing the joy of celebrating Christmas with family. And with the trusty help of, the eldest, wisest spider, E.W., she embarks on her journey "discovering truths of major importance".Leading Bitsy to learn how she, left her mark spinning the image of a "sparkling golden crystal diamond" the Christmas Star" in the night sky as her "dusty gray spider web" on the Christmas tree. Her design becomes the most inspirational symbol not nly to see but it carries the greatest message the "The Christmas Story", for the whole world to hear.This adaptation introduces the Baker's Dozen family. They bring this "ol' world legend" to life by keeping past traditions alive and blending the present customs to make sure these are passed down to the new generation of countless tomorrows.

Download or read book The Blues Lyric Formula written by Michael Taft and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-01-11 with total page 378 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the first rigourous and detailed exploration of exactly how blues singers used formulas to create songs, and it more than amply fills the gap in the the study of the blues, where the structure and content of the lyrics have been less fully explored than the musical form. Focusing on the songs recorded by African-American singers for pre-World War Two commercial recording companies, this is an excellent structural analysis of the formulaic composistion of blues lyrics. This book gives a step-by-step description of the rules implicit in this formulaic structure and inspires new discussion of lyric structures. A wide array of readers will find this insightful and informative: from students of African-American music, cultural studies, history and linguistics, to Blues fans fascinated by exactly how the lyrics of this influential music style are written.
Download or read book Haunting Experiences written by Diane Goldstein and published by University Press of Colorado. This book was released on 2007-09-15 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ghosts and other supernatural phenomena are widely represented throughout modern culture. They can be found in any number of entertainment, commercial, and other contexts, but popular media or commodified representations of ghosts can be quite different from the beliefs people hold about them, based on tradition or direct experience. Personal belief and cultural tradition on the one hand, and popular and commercial representation on the other, nevertheless continually feed each other. They frequently share space in how people think about the supernatural. In Haunting Experiences, three well-known folklorists seek to broaden the discussion of ghost lore by examining it from a variety of angles in various modern contexts. Diane E. Goldstein, Sylvia Ann Grider, and Jeannie Banks Thomas take ghosts seriously, as they draw on contemporary scholarship that emphasizes both the basis of belief in experience (rather than mere fantasy) and the usefulness of ghost stories. They look closely at the narrative role of such lore in matters such as socialization and gender. And they unravel the complex mix of mass media, commodification, and popular culture that today puts old spirits into new contexts.
