Book Synopsis Similarities and Dissimilarities in Meaning and Usage of Some Cebuano and Tagalog Words by : Liberacion Narvios Tecson
Download or read book Similarities and Dissimilarities in Meaning and Usage of Some Cebuano and Tagalog Words written by Liberacion Narvios Tecson and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2014-11-07 with total page 419 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Philippine Islands, with a population of over ninety-seven million is comprised of seven thousand one hundred seventy islands with residents speaking seven hundred different dialects. Prominent among all the dialects are the Tagalog and Cebuano, widely spoken in many places in the archipelago. Tagalog, being renamed as Filipino, officially became the national language. Although considered as the designated national language known as the Filipino language, Tagalog originally was spoken only in the capital city, Manila compared to Cebuano which is widely spoken in the Visayas and Mindanao. Neighboring provinces in Luzon have their own spoken dialect such as Ilocano in the Ilocos region (northern Luzon), Bicolano in the Bicol region (lower eastern Luzon), Pampangueno in the central plain region, Caviteno in the lower western Region, and Tagalog in the lower southern region. The Cebuano dialect is spoken and understood in the Visayas and Mindanao regions in spite of their local dialects. There are also Cebuano speaking families living in some parts of Luzon. The Ilonggo in western Visayas, Waray in Samar and Leyte in eastern Visayas, and Boholano for people in Bohol in the southern Visayas are regional dialects, but these dialects have only minor deviations from the Cebuano dialect. People who speak the Cebuano dialect are called Bisaya even if they are living outside of the Cebu Province, as they comprise and represent the Visayas region. Where majority of the residents in the Mindanao region are from the Visayas, hence they are also called Bisaya.

Book Synopsis Square Rigger Days by : Charles W. Domvillefife
Download or read book Square Rigger Days written by Charles W. Domvillefife and published by Pen and Sword. This book was released on 2007-10-18 with total page 418 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are few books that describe accurately life on board sailing ships in the last days of sail, from the 1860s to the First World War; the romantic image conjured up by many who wrote from a safe distance belies the harsh realities which were a sailorman's lot. Domville-Fife, in collecting together the personal stories of seamen while they were still alive, was able to present a truer picture of the tough last days of sail. Long voyages on board nineteenth-century sailing ships were marked by isolation, boredom, and miserable living conditions that taxed the endurance of men already hard pressed by the gruelling and dangerous nature of shipboard work. While some were attracted to a life of adventure most simply went to sea for a living, and a meagre one at that. They experienced neither the excitement of life on the crack clippers of the earlier decades nor the safety of the steamships; they were caught in the limbo of a dying profession where poor pay, discontinuous employment, prolonged isolation from family and physical hardship were the norm. No wonder that murder, mutiny, starvation and shipwreck appear in the memoirs gathered here. Domville-Fife surely did future generations a great service by piecing together this reality. First published in 1938, these memoirs are now available again in this superbly presented new edition with a new selection of stunning photographs and a fascinating introduction on life at sea in the dying world of sail. A wonderful read for all enthusiasts and historians of the merchant service in the days of sail.

Book excerpt: Pedro Reeves is an ordinary young boy growing up in the City of Los Angeles. As far as he can remember, strange things always seem to happen around him and the only luck he ever has is bad luck. His parents seem to be hiding something but he cannot figure out what it might be. When he tells his best friend about it, he is advised to never repeat it to anybody else. Pedro’s Father was in the military and disappeared many years ago without explanation. No one can explain to his family what actually happened or where he is. When Pedro discovers that his family’s home has been monitored ever since his father went missing, it is clear there is more to his father’s disappearance than he could have ever guessed. Years later, Pedro is approached by an old woman who tells him a strange tale about two warring alien worlds battling for possession of Earth. She says she knows the truth about his father but will only tell him if he agrees to join her in the alien’s war. In hopes of finding his father, Pedro agrees and soon finds himself in situations he never thought were even possible.
Book Synopsis Whose Child Am I? by : Susan J. Terrio
Download or read book Whose Child Am I? written by Susan J. Terrio and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2015-05-01 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2014, the arrest and detention of thousands of desperate young migrants at the southwest border of the United States exposed the U.S. government's shadowy juvenile detention system, which had escaped public scrutiny for years. This book tells the story of six Central American and Mexican children who are driven from their homes by violence and deprivation, and who embark alone, risking their lives, on the perilous journey north. They suffer coercive arrests at the U.S. border, then land in detention, only to be caught up in the battle to obtain legal status. Whose Child Am I? looks inside a vast, labyrinthine system by documenting in detail the experiences of these youths, beginning with their arrest by immigration authorities, their subsequent placement in federal detention, followed by their appearance in deportation proceedings and release from custody, and, finally, ending with their struggle to build new lives in the United States. This book shows how the U.S. government got into the business of detaining children and what we can learn from this troubled history.

Praise for Jonathan Herbert “...vivid imagery throughout the story truly brings it to life...” —Marcy Shortuse, Editor of Gasparilla Magazine and the Boca Beacon "In Silver King, terrorism and piracy are very much alive in the twenty-first century. Herbert highlights both of these absolute truths in this suspenseful adventure, played out beyond the southern-most tip of Florida." —Gulf Coast Times "Herbert finds a way to reel you in to a disconnected paradise where wealth trumps justice, most of the time." —Cincinnati Enquirer for Banyan Street "A riveting, engaging first effort by a budding author with talent." —Englewood Sun for Banyan Street "Herbert is right on point with his novel.

Book Synopsis Colonias in Arizona and New Mexico by : Adrian X. Esparza
Download or read book Colonias in Arizona and New Mexico written by Adrian X. Esparza and published by University of Arizona Press. This book was released on 2016-10-01 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are approximately half a million people living in 227 officially designated colonias in southern Arizona and New Mexico. These border communities are characterized by poor-quality housing, a lack of infrastructure (paved roads, water and sewer systems, and electricity), high levels of poverty and unemployment, and a disproportionate concentration of Hispanics. These colonias comprise one of the country’s largest pockets of poverty. Even so, little is known about these towns or the people who live in them. This book provides the first comprehensive treatment of Arizona and New Mexico colonias, with the aim of increasing their visibility and promoting community development. Beginning with an examination of the origins of border region settlement and the emergence of colonias in southern Arizona and New Mexico in the late 1800s, the book then turns to an assessment of current social, economic, and housing conditions. The authors also examine how Mexico’s recent economic crises and U.S. immigration and border security policies have shaped the quality of life in colonias, and they evaluate recent community development initiatives. By examining the challenges and successes of these recent efforts, the authors are able to provide a generalized plan for community development. Balancing analyses of these communities with a review of the positive steps taken to improve the quality of life of their inhabitants, Colonias in Arizona and New Mexico is an indispensable tool for anyone interested in public policy or immigration issues.

When the tourist abuses Pedro, he fights back. His mother begs him to run away and find a better life. He escapes, promising that he will return for her. Pedro meets a little girl while he is eating flowers outside a florist shop. She convinces her grandfather to let the donkey live with them. One day, Pedro stops a bank robbery. His fame as a hero brings him to the attention of his past owner, who wants his donkey back. Will Pedro be able to stay with his new friend, or will he have to return to his old life?
