Download or read book One Year in King City High School written by Cristian Saileanu and published by Babel Ink. This book was released on 2013-02-10 with total page 464 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: John Holbrook, one of the heroes of this book, once told me that he had mused his way to the conclusion that a school is to a community what the skin is to a body. “You see the rash on your arms and you might think that it’s the skin that’s sick, when actually the disease is somewhere deep inside, and it is only reflected in the skin. Or, conversely, when the skin is silky smooth - soft, and supple, and pleasant to the touch - it’s because the entire inside of the body is healthy.” It has just occurred to me that I have written a book to illustrate what John said. I must confess that at times, in order to better move the story along, two or three real-life persons have been shoved into one, or one person has been split up into two. Chronology has not been always rigorously followed, either, and real lives have been twisted to allow the sap of fiction to better flow to the heart and mind of the reader. Wait. Did I say fiction? I’ll take that back. For this is not a fictional book. The stories, all of them, without any exception, the stories, they are true. And if they sometimes seem far-fetched it’s only because many times reality is stranger than fiction - and also more pitiless, and more brutal. I have kept some of the original quizzes, essays, newspaper articles and classroom drawings to give the book its well-deserved air of authenticity. If you are a teacher, you will read the book and nod in agreement. If you are a parent, now you know – a teacher’s life is not the bowl of cherries you always thought it was. If you are a principal, or a superintendent, you will naturally want to burn the book in the public square - this book is a mirror and you will not like what you see. Some of the real names of the characters have been maintained: Marina Argueta, Elizabeth Ramirez, Franklin Sosa, Jose Alberto Ochoa and the rest of the Ochoa clan, Hector Mandujano, aka Camarón, and most of the soccer players on the KCHS varsity team have given me kind permission to use their real-life names. Only one character in the entire book is completely fabricated, and I will allow you, the reader, the investigative pleasure of discovering who that character is on your own. If you like the book, please recommend it to your friends, to that nasty brother-in-law of yours who gets drunk on Thanksgiving, to the guy sitting next to you in the carpool, or to your fellow teacher in the teacher’s lounge. But don’t lend it to him. Let him buy his own copy. You see, I live off the books I sell. Author :Saileanu, Cristian

Download or read book The House Inside Me written by Camelia Wheatley and published by Camelia Wheatley. This book was released on 2021-07-13 with total page 408 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Healing old wounds requires facing the past, but what if your own mind betrays you? You can't release, what you can't remember. A twenty-five year old woman finds herself the topic of a small-town gossip column accused of starting a strange fire which has the locals in a tizzy. Cassidy Cleo Collard has no memory of the incident, only gaps of lost time and a bizarre gash on her palm. When she was a child, her peculiar, kooky great-grandmother warned her of the family curse but that's when she believed in the old stories and ways of seven. Not anymore. Cassidy is in a heap of trouble. Ordered to psychiatric evaluation, Cassidy must pull back the curtains of her past to face the secrets she left there, or succumb to a family curse that may, or may not exist, and along the way prove her innocence. Set in the rural South during the 70's and 80's, the novel switches between adult and child, present-day and past, where Cassidy the adult, together with the Cass the child, come to terms with family secrets, generational curses and the haunting redemptive journey to finding her one true voice. THE HOUSE INSIDE ME is a raw, revealing glance inside the brokenness of a mind under siege. A chilling portrait of one woman's story of mayhem and madness, its creative genius and its destructive tentacles. It captures the unbearable cost of undiagnosed mental illness, and the lasting effects of childhood suppression, trauma and sexual abuse long after we've become an adult. Despite it all, the story demonstrates the deep-seated roots of family, faith, tradition, and the power of the human mind to heal and become a display of hope, forgiveness and purpose.

Download or read book Narco Cinema written by Ryan Rashotte and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-04-23 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides the first comprehensive study of narco cinema, a cross-border exploitation cinema that, for over forty years, has been instrumental in shaping narco-culture in Mexico and the US borderlands. Identifying classics in its mammoth catalogue and analyzing select films at length, Rashotte outlines the genre's history and aesthetic criteria. He approaches its history as an alternative to mainstream representation of the drug war and considers how its vernacular aesthetic speaks to the anxieties and desires of Latina/o audiences by celebrating regional cultures while exploring the dynamics of global transition. Despite recent federal prohibitions, narco cinema endures as a popular folk art because it reflects distinctively the experiences of those uprooted by the forces of globalization and critiques those forces in ways mainstream cinema has failed.
