For Vanessa, simply finding her way across town to school was more of a learning experience than she ever imagined. Sometimes not always being so sure about where you fit in can be frustrating, especially when you dont have anyone to turn to. But everyday people that make our lives unique can often be overlooked and underappreciated. Vanessas journey is a simple one that we all take every day. Whether we really understand the relationships with our own family or if were curious about the guy sitting next to us on the bus or the girl in class sometimes the journey is all about the way we see the world. ********************* Most children are believed to have their own set of beliefs and principles influenced by their parents, but their life experiences are the ones that will eventually shape their character and world views. Readers will witness the simple but lesson-filled saga of one family through the Starry-Eyed Cave Girl, a book by Vertis Nephew. The Starry-Eyed Cave Girl introduces readers to Juan Guzman and his family as they struggle to beat the odds of life and learn from their experiences. It explores the lives of each of the members of the Guzman household and highlights their unusual encounters and learning. The story focuses on Vanessa Guzman, Juans only daughter who goes to a magnet school across town. Traveling to school for almost two hours every day, Vanessa is exposed to a broad new world both on her journey and her scholastic activities. An enlightening story for the whole family, the Starry-Eyed Cave Girl is a reflective read that not only infuses positive values, but also shows how new experiences almost always change the way one feels about himself and the people around him. It explains how parents examples greatly affect their childrens judgment, as they immerse into the lives of each of the characters. Readers will learn the importance of understanding ones family, appreciating others, and building hope and confidence within themselves as they follow this reality-based story. It further proves that self-discovery can be a long journey that starts and ends at home.

Download or read book Queering the Renaissance written by Jonathan Goldberg and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 1994 with total page 404 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Queering the Renaissance offers a major reassessment of the field of Renaissance studies. Gathering essays by sixteen critics working within the perspective of gay and lesbian studies, this collection redraws the map of sexuality and gender studies in the Renaissance. Taken together, these essays move beyond limiting notions of identity politics by locating historically forms of same-sex desire that are not organized in terms of modern definitions of homosexual and heterosexual. The presence of contemporary history can be felt throughout the volume, beginning with an investigation of the uses of Renaissance precedents in the 1986 U.S. Supreme Court decision Bowers v. Hardwick, to a piece on the foundations of 'our' national imaginary, and an afterword that addresses how identity politics has shaped the work of early modern historians. The volume examines canonical and noncanonical texts, including highly coded poems of the fifteenth-century Italian poet Burchiello, a tale from Marguerite de Navarre's Heptameron, and Erasmus's letters to a young male acolyte. English texts provide a central focus, including works by Spenser, Shakespeare, Bacon, Donne, Beaumont and Fletcher, Crashaw, and Dryden. Broad suveys of the complex terrains of friendship and sodomy are explored in one essay, while another offers a cross-cultural reading of the discursive sites of lesbian desire. Contributors.

Download or read book Women Antifascism and Mussolini s Italy written by Isabelle Richet and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2018-09-30 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Marion Cave Rosselli is remembered as the 'perfect companion' of the Italian Antifascist leader Carlo Rosselli, assassinated in Paris in June 1937. But little is known about the young English student fired with revolutionary enthusiasm who moved to Florence in 1919, witnessed the violent march of fascism to power and thereafter became a resolute adversary of the Mussolini dictatorship. Based on a wealth of little-used private and public archives, this biography retraces her journey from a modest home on the outskirts of London to the first underground Antifascist opposition in Italy, from the prison island of Lipari to exile in Paris and the United States. It reveals the social, cultural and existential factors which underpinned her unflinching political engagement alongside her husband. It also highlights the many challenges faced by Antifascist women within a highly patriarchal movement by bringing to life the figure of a woman who challenged the traditional division of labour within the family and struggled to carve a political role for herself. Reconstructing Marion Cave Rosselli's experience in relation to the multiple political, social and cultural worlds she moved in, this book broadens our understanding of the Antifascist movement and offers a richly detailed portrait of a time full of hopes, anxieties and disappointments.

Download or read book Constance Fenimore Woolson Collected Stories LOA 327 written by Constance Fenimore Woolson and published by Library of America. This book was released on 2020-02-04 with total page 710 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A landmark of literary recovery: the first major edition of an overlooked genius who in her lifetime was considered 19th-century America's greatest woman writer In the eyes of her contemporaries, Constance Fenimore Woolson (1840-1894) ranked with George Eliot as one of the two greatest women writers of the English language. She wrote fiction of remarkable intellectual power that outsold those of her male contemporaries Henry James and Willian Dean Howells. James enshrined memories of his long, complicated friendship with Woolson in The Beast in the Jungle and The Wings of the Dove, and more recently Colm Tobin treated the relationship in his novel The Master. But Woolson's close association with James, and her likely suicide in Venice, have tended to overshadow her own literary accomplishments, pigeonholing her as a martyr to the male literary establishment. This volume, the most comprehensive gathering of Woolson's stories to date, represents the culmination of decades of recovery work done by scholars, and puts the focus back on the work, where it belongs. Set variously in the Great Lakes region, the post-Civil War South, and Europe, Woolson's short stories often concern outsiders of one kind or another--prophets and misfits living in remote landscapes, uneducated coal miners, impoverished spinsters, neglected nuns, a haunted caretaker of the dead, destitute southerners, and female artists driven to extreme behavior as they seek the admiration or approval of established (male) critics or writers. Woolson's minute realism captures both the social texture of her time and the inner emotional lives of these overlooked and marginalized characters. Most of all her writings startle us with their simmering intensity, their sensual descriptions of the environment, and refusal to smooth out the ambiguities and tensions that inevitably result from human efforts to communicate and connect. Her fiction is deeply human, resonating with a power across the centuries that makes them remarkably modern for today's readers.
Download or read book The Great Conversation written by Belden C. Lane and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2019-05-01 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "We are surrounded by a world that talks, but we don't listen. We are part of a community engaged in a vast conversation, but we deny our role in it." In the face of climate change, species loss, and vast environmental destruction, the ability to stand in the flow of the great conversation of all creatures and the earth can feel utterly lost to the human race. But Belden C. Lane suggests that it can and must be recovered, not only for the sake of endangered species and the well-being of at-risk communities, but for the survival of the world itself. The Great Conversation is Lane's multi-faceted treatise on a spiritually centered environmentalism. At the core is a belief in the power of the natural world to act as teacher. In a series of personal anecdotes, Lane pairs his own experiences in the wild with the writings of saints and sages from a wide range of religious traditions. A night in a Missourian cave brings to mind the Spiritual Exercises of Ignatius of Loyola; the canyons of southern Utah elicit a response from the Chinese philosopher Laozi; 500,000 migrating sandhill cranes rest in Nebraska and evoke the Sufi poet Farid ud-Din Attar. With each chapter, the humility of spiritual masters through the ages melds with the author's encounters with natural teachers to offer guidance for entering once more into a conversation with the world.
