Download or read book Eleanor H Porter s Pollyanna written by Roxanne Harde and published by Univ. Press of Mississippi. This book was released on 2014-11-06 with total page 394 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Appearing first as a weekly serial in The Christian Herald, Eleanor H. Porter's Pollyanna was first published in book form in 1913. This popular story of an impoverished orphan girl who travels from America's western frontier to live with her wealthy maternal Aunt Polly in the fictional east coast town of Beldingsville went through forty-seven printings in seven years and remains in print today in its original version, as well as in various translations and adaptations. The story's enduring appeal lies in Pollyanna's sunny personality and in her glad game, her playful attempt to accentuate the positive in every situation. In celebration of its centenary, this collection of thirteen original essays examines a wide variety of the novel's themes and concerns, as well as adaptations in film, manga, and translation. In this edited collection on Pollyanna, internationally respected and emerging scholars of children's literature consider Porter's work from modern critical perspectives. Contributors focus primarily on the novel itself but also examine Porter's sequel, Pollyanna Grows Up, and the various film versions and translations of the novel. With backgrounds in children's literature, cultural and film studies, philosophy, and religious studies, these scholars extend critical thinking about Porter's work beyond the thematic readings that have dominated previous scholarship. In doing so, the authors approach the novel from theoretical perspectives that examine what happens when Pollyanna engages with the world around her—her community and the natural environment—exposing the implicit philosophical, religious, and nationalist ideologies of the era in which Pollyanna was written. The final section is devoted to studies of adaptations of Porter's protagonist.

But Robby grabbed the note and before Linda stopped talking it had gone halfway around the room.

Download or read book Things I ve Learned from Dying written by David R. Dow and published by Hachette UK. This book was released on 2014-01-07 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: National Book Critics Circle Award finalist David R. Dow confronts the reality of his work on death row when his father-in-law is diagnosed with lethal melanoma, his beloved Doberman becomes fatally ill, and his young son begins to comprehend the implications of mortality. "Every life is different, but every death is the same. We live with others. We die alone." In his riveting, artfully written memoir The Autobiography of an Execution, David Dow enraptured readers with a searing and frank exploration of his work defending inmates on death row. But when Dow's father-in-law receives his own death sentence in the form of terminal cancer, and his gentle dog Winona suffers acute liver failure, the author is forced to reconcile with death in a far more personal way, both as a son and as a father. Told through the disparate lenses of the legal battles he's spent a career fighting, and the intimate confrontations with death each family faces at home, Things I've Learned From Dyingoffers a poignant and lyrical account of how illness and loss can ravage a family. Full of grace and intelligence, Dow offers readers hope without cliche and reaffirms our basic human needs for acceptance and love by giving voice to the anguish we all face--as parents, as children, as partners, as friends--when our loved ones die tragically, and far too soon.

Book excerpt: Be Bold and Courageous In today's politically charged culture, focused on finding yourself rather than finding truth, Christian women have been withdrawing from conversations about faith - especially across cultures. Even though they might be canceled or socially shunned for sharing their beliefs, the world needs Christian women to speak up-it needs them to be confident and boldly proclaim the truth to the dying world around them. The Apostle Paul delivered a similar message to his protégé Timothy in 2 Timothy 1:7: "For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind." Join author Karen Bejjani as she seeks to change the way Christian women think and act regarding sharing their biblical faith across cultures and explores how to take an active role in sharing the hope of Jesus with their neighbors.

Book excerpt: We all need more joy and faith in our lives! A beloved classic of children's literature, Pollyanna, the best-selling 1913 story by Eleanor H. Porter, shows how orphaned child Pollyanna Whittier transforms an entire town for the better with her "glad game" - optimism, faith, and determination to look for the good in everything. Yet the story is also so much more than that! If all you know of Pollyanna is the Disney film version or reading the book as a child, you may find reading it as an adult surprising. The gentle satire as Pollyanna's exuberant joy contrasts with the dutiful but joyless views of God and life held by the adults around her is aimed at grown-up church-going readers, not children. Pollyanna has so much to teach us about living a meaningful Christ-like life, growing spiritually, and experiencing deeper joy, the joy God created us to hold fast to and cherish. Includes the full text of the original story plus: an introduction to the book; discussion questions for book groups; suggestions for playing Pollyanna's "Glad Game"; a detailed Bible-based devotional for each chapter, to dig deeper into the lessons in the story; personal journaling prompts for each chapter; a reference list of Bible verses about joy. This paperback includes both the full text of the story and the journaling prompts, but does not include blank space for your responses. A "journal only" print version with ample writing space (but without the full original Pollyanna story) is also available. Experience more God-given joy today!

Download or read book Pollyanna written by Eleanor H. Porter and published by Hesperus Press. This book was released on 2014-07-01 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the all-time classics of children's literature, a feel-good book full of enthusiasm and exuberance, and a perfect family read "There is something about everything that you can be glad about, if you keep hunting long enough to find it." When Pollyanna Whittier's father dies she is sent to live with her Aunt Polly in Vermont. A clash of personalities ensues as Pollyanna's sunny disposition sits ill with her aunt's need for quiet, her passion for shutting windows, and her obsession with quietly shut doors. The key to Pollyanna's happiness is The Glad Game—originally invented to deal with disappointing missionary boxes—and is applied to all parts of life. No matter how dark the situation, it is always possible to find something to be glad about. Any attempts to discipline the child fail helplessly in the face of The Glad Game. A bread and milk supper in the kitchen is greeted with rapture; a puritan attic bedroom with sparse furnishing is valued for its rapturous views. As Pollyanna becomes acquainted with other inhabitants of the town, the cantankerous residents fall victim to her charms. However, the arrival of a motor car in town heralds a tragic change which not even Pollyanna looks likely to be able to overcome. This timeless classic has spawned many spin-off novels and films.

Download or read book Romans Lessons in Renewing Your Mind written by Eric Elder and published by Eric Elder Ministries. This book was released on 2012-06-14 with total page 219 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: God has used the book of Romans to change many lives since it was written almost 2,000 years ago, including Saint Augustine’s back in the 4th century, Martin Luther’s in the 16th, John Wesley’s in the 18th —and mine in the 20th! So I’ve written this study guide to help you reap the benefits from this life-changing book, too. Each lesson in this study focuses on a different aspect of renewing your mind, based on different passages from the book of Romans. Some days you’ll read just a verse or two, while other days you’ll read whole chapters. But if you’ll keep reading through the suggested passages each day, by the end of this study you’ll have read through the entire book of Romans. At the end of each chapter, I’ve included some “Questions for Reflection” that you can use for personal reflection or group discussion. The study is divided into 40 lessons (counting the Introduction and Conclusion), so you can complete the study by doing one lesson a day for 40 days, or five lessons a week for eight weeks, or a lesson a week for 40 weeks, whichever suits you or your group best. At the end of this book, I’ve included four additional devotionals that I wrote, plus one that my wife Lana wrote, after Lana’s diagnosis with Stage 4 cancer, which took place midway through writing this series. I’ve included these special messages to highlight the importance of keeping your mind focused on God’s perspective on your life at all times. May God bless you as you seek to renew your mind, day by day, and may your life be transformed in the process. Eric Elder
