Book excerpt: Coy Johnson appears to have it all. He's young enough to enjoy his money, his dream house, and his gorgeous girlfriend….whose mission in life is to please him in every way. Hell, her husband even likes him. On top of everything else, he’s an accomplished musician and he’s not bad looking either. Then, why does he suddenly cease to give a damn? For no particular reason, he becomes a man who just doesn’t care. That attitude is sorely tested when an old friend makes an attempt on his life, almost emasculating him and trashing his home. Coy is forced to viciously defend himself. Then he finds that his family has frighteningly disgusting skeletons in its’ closet. This knowledge reveals that he isn’t at all the person he’d always thought himself to be. His quiet, peaceful life and everything he’d believed about himself and his father are shattered. Then his one true love is slaughtered in the most horrific way imaginable and he’s forced to come face to face with true evil. He must find a way to fight people he doesn’t know for reasons he doesn’t understand and become something he never wanted to be.
Book Synopsis African American Vernacular English as a Literary Dialect by : Sophia Huber
Download or read book African American Vernacular English as a Literary Dialect written by Sophia Huber and published by Herbert Utz Verlag. This book was released on 2018-06-13 with total page 394 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Knowledge about one’s linguistic background, especially when it is different from mainstream varieties, provides a basis for identity and self. Ancestral values can be upheld, celebrated, and rooted further in the consciousness of its speakers. In the case of African American Vernacular English (AAVE) the matter is not straightforward and, ultimately, the social implications its speakers still face today are unresolved. Through detailed analysis of the four building blocks phonology, morphology, syntax, and vocabulary, Sophia Huber tries to trace the development of AAVE as a literary dialect. By unearthing in what ways AAVE in its written form is different from the spoken variety, long established social stigmata and stereotypes which have been burned into the consciousness of the USA through a (initially) white dominated literary tradition will be exposed. Analysing fourteen novels and one short story featuring AAVE, it is the first linguistic study of this scope.

Book Synopsis The Musick of the Mocking Birds, the Roar of the Cannon by : William Winters
Download or read book The Musick of the Mocking Birds, the Roar of the Cannon written by William Winters and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 1998-01-01 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: William Winters was unlike most of the young soldiers who answered the Union?s appeal for men in 1861 and 1862. He was different from many of his comrades in age and point of view, and his war service was also out of the ordinary. The last great surge of popular voluntary enlistment swept up Winters, a thirty-two-year-old saddle and harness maker and father of three from Indiana. Like so many others in the Civil War, Winters was a prolific correspondent, and through his letters we have a record of some lesser-known campaigns. Winters served in the siege of Vicksburg and in the Red River Campaign, frequently as a nurse, a role that emphasized for him the darker side of the war. These letters and journal entries show a sensitive man who reflects upon both the loveliness of the southern locales in which he found himself and the hideousness of war.
