Download or read book Christmas Contrasts written by S T Kimbrough and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2023-10-31 with total page 69 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is it possible to understand Christmas more meaningfully through the contrasts that it creates and we create? While some contrasts of Christmas are troubling, others are comforting. The poems in this book juxtapose some of these. There are contrasts of the past and present, contrasts within past and present time, contrasts of wealth and poverty, etc. They evoke vivid images, many of which we know well. Some are pleasant and others are disturbing. How do we deal with the reality of many of these contrasts that emphasize our failure to grasp the meaning of Christmas in such a way that we live out the message of peace and goodwill? The Advent and Christmas seasons are seasons of hope and failure. The hope of peace and goodwill inaugurated in the birth of the Christ Child is contrasted with the failure of his followers to realize the peace and goodwill of which the angels sing. How does a careful look at the contrasts of Christmas help us better understand its meaning and how its meaning can be fulfilled in us? These poems explore this question and offer some helpful and timely responses.

Download or read book The Poltergeist in William Faulkner s Light in August written by John P. Anderson and published by Universal-Publishers. This book was released on 2002-09 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An analysis of Faulkner's novel Light in August based on the death of his daughter, Alabama. BACK COVER: This non-academic author exposes the poltergeist lurking in the cellar of Faulkner's uncanny and haunting novel Light in August as the ghost of Faulkner's first child Alabama. She was born prematurely and died tragically after only nine days, apparently in the clutches of fetal alcohol syndrome. Faulkner couldn't write anything substantial for 7 months and then started this disturbing novel. The author demonstrates how Faulkner's own grief experience shaped the characters and the action and how he grounded part of his personal poltergeist in this novel. The resulting novel is full of tension and alienation. Strangers occupy Faulkner's fictional Jefferson, Mississippi against the background of the culturally reft South post-Civil War. The author shows how Faulkner shrouded his intensely personal grief experience in a conceptual wardrobe borrowed from the philosopher and Nobel Prize winning Henri Bergson. Faulkner borrowed Bergsonian concepts of the life and death currents for the contrast in characters between those free in the present and those prisoners of the past. Lena Grove the young and pregnant country girl walking for weeks to find the father of her child bears the life current and Joe Christmas the orphan turned rapist and murderer the death current. The author demonstrates how Faulkner created the novel's other vivid characters using similar contrasts and how the plot strands tie together in a resonating whole. The author's detailed textual analysis of important passages brings this difficult novel into focus. Like the author's other books on Joyce and Faulkner, use of this analysis either as literary foreplay or afterplay will enhance your reading experience of Faulkner's novel.

Download or read book Popularizing the Nation written by Kirsten Belgum and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 1998-01-01 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In countless articles on culture, politics, landscape, industry, history, and other topics, the Gartenlaube played an influential role in nineteenth-century Germany's larger effort to forge a national identity for itself. In fact, Belgum argues that the search for, and development of, national identity in Germany was inextricably linked to the writings of the Gartenlaube and other popular magazines. Such publications served both as a public repository of mythic memory for the nation and as a source of new national images for a self-consciously modern Germany.
