Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The title 28 Days was made because there are 28 days in Black History Month. Last year when the majority of the book was written, there were actually 29 days due to the leap year. Since it was, I included one extra page with just Haikus. The topics in the book are inspired by real life experiences and untold truths. This book is not meant to divide, but unite ALL races by giving everyone a better understanding of each others perspectives. This is not solely a BLACK mans book its a HU-mans book told from the lips of a man that wants to change the world. The purpose of this book of poetry is to reach a newer level of understanding by being able to identify with experiences we talk about every day in our communities. The poems in this book were inspired by real people and therefore some are addressed to certain categories of people. Such as to that black male public school teacher who feels unappreciated, to the black religious leader who is being challenged by the waning faith in the community, to the many black veterans who served paid the ultimate price for patriotism and even to mixed couples who deal with racism from their own races on a daily bases. If I can inspire you by just ONE poem in this book of 28 (with a bonus haiku page) then you have my thanks. Why you ask Because to me, changing the world comes from just inspiring one person because positive change can spread like wildfire. So thanks in advance my reader for helping me change the world.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - To penetrate into the world of another people is simply a task that demands patience, skill, and humility. It is easy to write off people on the basis of racial or ethnic pride, ignorance, and hasty judgment. Until one carefully studies a peoples way of thought, reasoning, and logic, it is not easy to understand and interact with them. Once peoples cosmological views are properly understood, it would be easy to relate, associate, interact with them, and even criticize them from within and not from outside their scheme or realm of thought and action. This work has tried to peer into the world of Akwa Ibom and Cross River states of Nigeria, people with immense, rich culture and tradition and, in contemporary times, enormous oil wealth and attractive tourist attractions. The author has argued that the best in any people can be caught only when one understands and works with them from within. The myths of the people can help explain their lifestyle and actions. …

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The theme of the novel represents the climax and the eve of the fall of the communist system in Yugoslavia, that is, in its central part, Bosnia and Herzegovina, as a totalitarian ideological pattern and practice, which psychologically incarnate the soul and tissue of characters in a provincial Bosnian town ranging from the late forties to late the eighties of this century. Between the passage of trains alongside his switch house, Salko Pirija is playing one children's game 'Cowboys and Indians'. This is the time of the conflict between Tito and Stalin, and therefore the local authorities accuse him of propagating America with that game, that is, 'rotting the West' and 'rotting capitalism'.Professor from Sarajevo University, dr. Senadin Lavic told this novel that he and South Slavic literature in Salka Pirija had their Don Quijote, and in Sead Mahmutefendic they have their own Cervantes. This is confirmed by three novels translated into English and published in xLibris.If you can, make a photo shop from these two photos. Winnetou and Old Sheterhand should stand behind a switch house.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Worthiness is the relational result of a centralized love objective. We are worthy of him when our love for him is both supreme and exclusive. To walk worthy of God is both costly and rewarding. Anything that undermines or competes with your love for God disqualifies the worthiness of the relationship. God cannot be reduced, replaced, or repelled by inferior loyalties that diminish his supremacy in our heart. To be worthy of him, your love objective must be uncontested and paramount. A worthy walk is not just a life; it's a calling, a vacation, and an intimate fellowship of suffering that endorses our entrance into the kingdom of God. A worthy walk means that the strength of your message must be balanced by the dignity of his character. The product must be consistent with the dignity of the manufacturer. The command to walk worthily is designed to point you in the direction of your authentic worth. God looked at you and realized he could not purchase you with anything less than who he is, so he bought you with himself.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - There were no verbs incorporated into the Sheboygan manuscript when the final draft drifted to shore in Havana, Cuba, at the turn of the century.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The Craft of NarrativeIf memory valorizes ones life, it humbles us as well. As the saying goes, Life is what happens while we are making other plans. In retrospect, those choices and consequent events may cause delight as well as remorse or delay in realizing dreams that are replaced by unexpected events but also give us the time necessary to achieve some ambitions and perhaps allow insight into lifes patterns. Writing a memoir combines fictional monologue and essay. Both genres are intimate first-person addresses to a reader, preferable to use Roland Barthess terminology from his book S/Z, a writerly reader.The selection of the title for these three disparate memoirs is taken from a term used in painting: the showing through of a past image overlain by a more recent one. Lillian Hellman used this term for her memoir and the subsequent film, Pentimento. I am a writer and a teacher of literary fiction, including Homers Odyssey, James Joyces Ulysses, and Virginia Woolfs various novels, in particular Mrs. Dalloway and To the Lighthouse, in which written memory, the superimposition of current feelings and observations onto past events results in an ordering of what may otherwise be forgotten or fragmented or considered as irrelevant and disconnected events. Virginia Woolf reminded her teenage nephew and later biographer Clive Bell to remember that nothing has happened until it has been recounted.Recollectionthe ordering of remembered events, feelings, and their consequences, external and internalgives us order through crafted narrative. Homer set the stage for this recognition when he begins the journey of his long epic with an address to the Muse, saying, Begin whereer thou wilt to retell the tale for our time too. And so we begin a crafted set of memories, beginning in medias res, the middle of things, rather than accounting for every event in an uncrafted chronological order. Retelling produces awareness of patterns of cause and effect. Flashbacks can reveal apparent prophecies too.This awareness, thanks to years of teaching and discussing literary works of art, has prompted me to present these brief memoirs from three apparently distinct stages of my life. Only connect! as E. M. Forster advised is worthy of remembering, if difficult to apply.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This book is a compendium of short stories of my youth growing up in the island of Trinidad in the 1950s and 60s. My 32 Chevy The year was 1961, and I was still in high school. I lived in Trinidad at the time. This 32 Chevy was the apple of my eye. Trinidad was a British colony, and all we had were English cars. An American car was a luxury, and a 32 Chevy was a rarity. I would dream about this car. I would picture myself sitting behind the steering wheel cruising up High Street (the main drag in San Fernando, my hometown). My friends would be envious, and the girls would dote over me for having such a cool car. Some time passed, and I stopped seeing this car on the road. The Racing Bike I got my first bike at the age of twelve. In Trinidad in the 1950s, a bicycle was an essential means of transport. Few people could afford cars. The bicycle was the dependable machine that took you everywhere on the island: to work, to school, to the beach, across town to visit friends and relatives, to the shop to buy goods, and downtown to hang with the boys. A Memorable Tobago Adventure The first time I visited Tobago was in 1963. I went with my best friends Wahid, Bissoon, Karl, George, and Hamid (Wahids younger brother). It was Easter, and we had carefully planned this adventure to see the famous Tobago crab races and attend other Easter boat races and sport festivities on the beach. Fondest Memories of Christmases Past Christmas is the happiest time of the year for mealways was and always will be. Growing up in Trinidad, Christmas was celebrated by everyone. The whole island celebrated Christmas. Christmas was spree time. Every house stocked up with sweet drinks (Coca Cola, Pepsi, Solo, Red Spot, and Cannings), Fernandes Rum, babash (homemade rum), Cherry Brandy, Guinness, Mackeson XXX Stout, and Carib beer to offer friends, relatives, and neighbors who could drop in at any time for a Christmas toast. An Avocado Story The avocado fruit is native to Central and South America and has been around in these areas since 8000 BC. It was introduced to the Caribbean (Jamaica) in the mid-seventeenth century and the Tropical Asian regions in the mid-1800s. The avocado arrived in the United States in the early twentieth century, specifically in California and Florida.…
