Download or read book The Last Pumpkin written by Bill Pike and published by . This book was released on 2012-04-01 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From early spring and late into the North Carolina fall, there was always a garden in my backyard when I was growing up. My mother and father worked diligently to plant, care, and harvest everything that was sewn into the soil. I did my fair share of grumbling about setting out tomato plants, hoeing weeds, and attempting to pick butterbeans, but I wouldn’t trade anything for those experiences. Our book, The Last Pumpkin, can be linked to those days, days that seemed a lot less hectic than our lives today. I don’t ever recall talking with my parents about this, but I sensed that everything had value to them. Perhaps, it was their depression era upbringing that was always lingering in their minds, but everything in their garden had value, the stubby piece of corn or the misshapen tomato. In all my work in education, I developed an appreciation for the students who could persevere and work through challenging situations no matter how different they might have appeared to their peers. Sort of like Keeper in the story, they kept pushing, working, and hoping for the right set of circumstances that showed they had value and something to offer no matter how different they were.

Download or read book Pumpkin written by Cindy Ott and published by University of Washington Press. This book was released on 2012-12-01 with total page 343 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why do so many Americans drive for miles each autumn to buy a vegetable that they are unlikely to eat? While most people around the world eat pumpkin throughout the year, North Americans reserve it for holiday pies and other desserts that celebrate the harvest season and the rural past. They decorate their houses with pumpkins every autumn and welcome Halloween trick-or-treaters with elaborately carved jack-o'-lanterns. Towns hold annual pumpkin festivals featuring giant pumpkins and carving contests, even though few have any historic ties to the crop. In this fascinating cultural and natural history, Cindy Ott tells the story of the pumpkin. Beginning with the myth of the first Thanksgiving, she shows how Americans have used the pumpkin to fulfull their desire to maintain connections to nature and to the family farm of lore, and, ironically, how small farms and rural communities have been revitalized in the process. And while the pumpkin has inspired American myths and traditions, the pumpkin itself has changed because of the ways people have perceived, valued, and used it. Pumpkin is a smart and lively study of the deep meanings hidden in common things and their power to make profound changes in the world around us.
