Book excerpt: A book about the power of love and resistance from New York Times bestselling authors Becky Albertalli and Aisha Saeed. YES Jamie Goldberg is cool with volunteering for his local state senate candidate—as long as he’s behind the scenes. When it comes to speaking to strangers (or, let’s face it, speaking at all to almost anyone) Jamie’s a choke artist. There’s no way he’d ever knock on doors to ask people for their votes…until he meets Maya. NO Maya Rehman’s having the worst Ramadan ever. Her best friend is too busy to hang out, her summer trip is canceled, and now her parents are separating. Why her mother thinks the solution to her problems is political canvassing—with some awkward dude she hardly knows—is beyond her. MAYBE SO Going door to door isn’t exactly glamorous, but maybe it’s not the worst thing in the world. After all, the polls are getting closer—and so are Maya and Jamie. Mastering local activism is one thing. Navigating the cross-cultural crush of the century is another thing entirely.
Download or read book So Good They Can t Ignore You written by Cal Newport and published by Grand Central Publishing. This book was released on 2012-09-18 with total page 163 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In an unorthodox approach, Georgetown University professor Cal Newport debunks the long-held belief that "follow your passion" is good advice, and sets out on a quest to discover the reality of how people end up loving their careers. Not only are pre-existing passions rare and have little to do with how most people end up loving their work, but a focus on passion over skill can be dangerous, leading to anxiety and chronic job hopping. Spending time with organic farmers, venture capitalists, screenwriters, freelance computer programmers, and others who admitted to deriving great satisfaction from their work, Newport uncovers the strategies they used and the pitfalls they avoided in developing their compelling careers. Cal reveals that matching your job to a pre-existing passion does not matter. Passion comes after you put in the hard work to become excellent at something valuable, not before. In other words, what you do for a living is much less important than how you do it. With a title taken from the comedian Steve Martin, who once said his advice for aspiring entertainers was to "be so good they can't ignore you," Cal Newport's clearly written manifesto is mandatory reading for anyone fretting about what to do with their life, or frustrated by their current job situation and eager to find a fresh new way to take control of their livelihood. He provides an evidence-based blueprint for creating work you love, and will change the way you think about careers, happiness, and the crafting of a remarkable life.
Download or read book Sono written by Sarah Arvio and published by Knopf. This book was released on 2009-03-12 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Here is Sono, a new collection of bracingly original poems, from the prizewinning author of Visits from the Seventh. Composed during a long stay in Rome, these cantos look outward in order to look inward, transforming sights and stories into expressionistic explorations of the state of the heart. Playful, probing, philosophical, colorful, often funny, they describe a struggle to come to terms with loss and grief and to find a basis for renewal; they ask whether and how life is worth living, taking pleasure in the questions themselves. “It wasn’t the life I would have wanted, / had I known what sort of life I did want,” starts the poem entitled “Chagrin.” “I do believe I was never loved,” announces “Obelisk.” Riffing expertly, Sarah Arvio brings wit and exquisite formal discipline to her gorgeous meditations on the life lived. These are high-burning songs of the self— colloquial, sexy, unflinching, and unforgettable. A colossal mess I made of my life, in the flesh and also in the round; this was the essence of colosseum, the museum of my colossal shame, where I mused on the blood sport of it all. . . (from "Colosseum")

Download or read book Qui sono io Who am I Fictional Representation of Italian American Immigrants Search for Identity in The Sopranos written by Felicitas Schott and published by diplom.de. This book was released on 2014-05-23 with total page 51 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ausgangspunkt und Arbeitshypothese Die USA gehören zu den beliebtesten Zielen von Auswanderern auf der ganzen Welt. Als inzwischen fünftgrößte ethnische Gruppe haben sich die Italiener etabliert. Auch wenn die USA ein multikulturelles Land darstellen, in dem viele verschiedene Ethnien zusammen leben, so ist das Leben als Auswanderer oder Nachfahre eines Immigranten geprägt von einer ständigen Suche nach der eigenen Zugehörigkeit und somit der Identität. Als mit italienischem Hintergrund in den USA Lebender hat man zwar durch die Familie und ggf. durch das soziale Umfeld einen italienischen Einfluss und erfährt somit Prägung durch italienische Kultur. Auf der anderen Seite ist man aber auch von einer amerikanischen Umgebung und ebenso von anderen Kulturen beeinflusst. Diese Arbeit zeigt das Problem der Findung der eigenen Identität als Italo-Amerikaner (italienisch-amerikanischer Immigrant) in den USA anhand von der fiktionalen amerikanischen TV-Serie The Sopranos auf. Dabei wird davon ausgegangen, dass die Identität durch bestimmte Merkmale beeinflusst und geprägt wird. Fragestellung und Ziel der Arbeit Die zentrale Aufgabe dieser Arbeit liegt darin, eine möglichst facettenreiche Analyse der Serie The Sopranos, im spezifischen ihrer Charaktere und deren Bemühen bei der Findung ihrer Identität und die Prozesse und Probleme, die sie dabei durchlaufen, vorzunehmen. Es werden Fragen geklärt wie, was prägt die Identität eines Menschen, welche Probleme konfrontieren insbesondere italienisch-amerikanische Immigranten bei der Bildung und Entwicklung ihrer Identität und wie spiegelt sich eben dieser Prozess mit all seinen Einflüssen und Hindernissen in der Serie The Sopranos wieder.

Download or read book Saint Tropez I sogni sono vita written by Zion David Lawal and published by Booksprint. This book was released on 2020-01-11 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: L’autore, per descrivere il contenuto della sua opera-prima , si limita a confidarci un modo di dire che, invero, non condivide affatto e che, al tempo stesso, rende possibile comprendere molto di lui. Questo “modo di dire”, che, in realtà, è una vera e propria domanda – seppur meramente retorica – , così recita: “Perché ti comporti come un bambino?”, a significare che i bambini spesso sbagliano. Probabilmente perché dotati di poche esperienze di vita, se non addirittura nulle, al punto da sembrare financo “stupidi”, anche se, di certo, non lo sono. Perché gli adulti – si sa – “sono fatti così…”, continua a confidare l’autore.

Dal presente al passato in una trilogia di cui “Sono” rappresenta allo stesso tempo il punto di partenza e il punto d’arrivo.

He's earned a break, and following the devastation of their last case, DeMarco and his girlfriend Jayme want nothing more than to live quietly in each other's company. To forget the horrors they've experienced and work on making each other whole again. But dreams of a peaceful life together are shattered when two bodies are discovered in a smoldering car in the woods, and another is found brutally mutilated nearby.

He and Jayme are dragged back into the fray, where they must confront the shady dealings of a close-knit rural community. Perfect for fans of murder mystery books and suspenseful thrillers alike, No Woods So Dark as These explores the atrocities humans are capable of when pushed to their limits.
