Book Synopsis Composition Studies As A Creative Art by : Lynn Bloom
Download or read book Composition Studies As A Creative Art written by Lynn Bloom and published by . This book was released on 1998-06 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a book about the creative dynamics that arise from the interrelation of writing, teaching writing, and ways of reading - and the scholarship and administrative issues engendered by both. To regard composition studies as a creative art is to engage in a process of intellectual or aesthetic free play, and then to translate the results of this play into serious work that yet retains the freedom and playfulness of its origins. The book is fueled by a mixture of faith in the fields that compose composition studies, hope that the efforts of composition teachers can make a difference, and a sense of community in its broadest meaning.

Book Synopsis Greek Lessons by : Rita Langas Wilson
Download or read book Greek Lessons written by Rita Langas Wilson and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-09-01 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "We didn't know anything. We just knew our lives...." Part biography, part memoir, Greek Lessons is a stunning work of nonfiction that explores the influence of the Greek culture on five generations of Greek women. Listening to her mother, Angie, evoke the memories of her childhood, Rita Wilson embarks on a quest to learn more about her mother's life. After losing her father at the age of eleven, Angie, an only daughter of Greek immigrant parents who escaped Greece before the atrocities of World War I, finds herself responsible not only for her four brothers, but for her mother's survival in a world in which she cannot communicate. Through conversations with her mother and visits with her relatives in Greece, Rita Wilson discovers the impact that the heartache of war, loss, and betrayal has had on her family, but she also experiences the love, laughter, and sense of belonging that comes with her heritage. Written with humor and empathy, Greek Lessons reflects a yearning and curiosity that children of immigrants know well. Each visit to Greece reveals another secret, another forgotten detail that illuminates the patterns of our lives. This is a search for the stories of our fathers and our mothers that leads us to ourselves. The story gathers force around the idea "what if?" What if the liberal-minded American author went to live in Greece? What if her daughter remained in Greece to see if her summer romance was something more? The lives of those who moved to America, and those who stayed put in their ancestral homeland, are lovingly evoked in this richly rewarding and highly personal account of family life and social history. The sensual pleasures of Greek life, the food, the cafes, the nightlife, the challenges of dating and courtship down through the years, and the parade of colorful relations and strong women make for a truly enchanting read. GREEK LESSONS is a vivid and original celebration of what it means to be Greek.

Download or read book The Art of Creative Writing written by Lajos Egri and published by Citadel Press. This book was released on 2020-12-29 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “One of the few truly helpful books on fiction writing.” —Chicago Tribune Go beyond Stephen King’s On Writing to master the fundamentals of great storytelling with this foundational guide that reveals the essential elements of what makes the best fiction. The Art of Creative Writing is a timeless testament to the power of dialogue and character development that is accessible for every level of writer from beginner to established author. As in the bestselling The Art of Dramatic Writing, still considered one of the most essential books on playwriting more than 75 years after publication, the author outlines in detail his highly acclaimed Egri Method of Creative Writing and shows how to apply it to all fiction formats—novels, short stories, and screenplays. Grounded in Egri’s assertion that “Every type of creative writing depends upon the credibility of a character,” here is concise, clear advice on the most important element of good writing: characterization. Step by step, Egri shows writers how to probe the secrets of human motivation to create flesh-and-blood characters who create suspense and conflict, and who grow emotionally under stress and strain. As practical as it is inspiring, The Art of Creative Writing remains a timeless, illuminating guide that teaches every writer, and aspiring writer, how to create works that are both compelling and enduring.
Book Synopsis Language and Creativity by : Ronald Carter
Download or read book Language and Creativity written by Ronald Carter and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-09-16 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Language and Creativity has become established as a pivotal text for courses in English Language, Linguistics and Literacy. Creativity in language has conventionally been regarded as the preserve of institutionalised discourses such as literature and advertising, and individual gifted minds. In this ground-breaking book, bestselling author Ronald Carter explores the idea that creativity, far from being simply a property of exceptional people, is an exceptional property of all people. Drawing on a range of real examples of everyday conversations and speech, from flatmates in a student house and families on holiday to psychotherapy sessions and chat-lines, the book argues that creativity is an all-pervasive feature of everyday language. Using close analysis of naturally occurring language, taken from a unique 5 million word corpus, Language and Creativity reveals that speakers commonly make meanings in a variety of creative ways, in a wide range of social contexts and for a diverse set of reasons. This Routledge Linguistics Classic is here reissued with a new preface from the author, covering a range of key topics from e-language and internet discourse to English language teaching and world Englishes. Language and Creativity continues to build on the previous theories of creativity, offering a radical contribution to linguistic, literary and cultural theory. A must for anyone interested in the creativity of our everyday speech.
