Book excerpt: This is a metaphorical story, based on a true story, of a Woodpecker in his search for freedom and purpose. What he did not realize that freedom had a price that almost cost his life on more than one occasion. In the Woodpeckers journey from childhood being discontent that he had to live in a hole and with his arrangement of feathers He sought out many different birds. One summer afternoon the young Woodpecker and two Geese that he had became friends with discovered the forbidden fruit of young fowl, the Grape (alcohol). The Grape was the answer to all the fears in the world. The Grape had power and gave him freedom from his mind. After the Woodpeckers first escape from reality He was addicted to Grapes. In his pursuit of what He thought happiness was, like things of this material world, for instance, gold, diamonds, and seed which is money. The Woodpeckers becomes dishonest to himself and others, therefore, erects the walls of jails. Being a jailbird with contempt prior to investigation he learns to resent and hate Blackbirds from other birds that were not black and known as "Peckerwoods." Hence, He becomes a "Peckerwood" as well. After getting out of jail the Woodpecker finds himself in a deep and always progressive state of addiction. He resents everything in this vast world and is beyond buzzed. The place where the Grape use to take him, joyous intimacy with friends, grandiose ideas, and freedom was not there. He often proceeded to go beyond boundaries set in the normal society of birds who could partake in the Grape. After the Woodpeckers second trip to see the Grey Parrots (doctors). The Parrots inform him that he has chronic Grapism (alcoholism) and that there is no cure for thisdisease. Although, there is hope and it is called "Grapes anonymous." There He meets a Blackbird the very one he learned to hate in jail yet never knew why. The Blackbird informs him that the only solution to addiction is from a loving God. After going through the same spiritual steps the Blackbird went through to recover. He's overcome with God's grace; joy, love, and peace flow within him, He feels unconditional love for the blackbird. He sees love in the very air that gives him life. The Woodpecker became to believe in God, utterly abandons himself to God and discovers himself, whom He always was, a child of God. "Peckerwood Grape the Woodpecker" In His tumultuous journey from fear to faith He was given a new life and transformed into a breathtaking new world where even the broken paths he flew made sense. He finds purpose in a life that was merely an existence. He takes action and uses his pecker to carve stories and peck pictures to help others know about and to recover from this fatal disease. It's by giving the gifts he has received through God, the fruits of the spirit and a life where all things are new he is blessed. As a result of loving God with all his heart mind body and soul He receives an incredibly abundant life beyond His hearts desires.

Download or read book The Language of Ethnic Conflict written by Irving L. Allen and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 1983 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Available for the first time in English, this is the definitive account of the practice of sexual slavery the Japanese military perpetrated during World War II by the researcher principally responsible for exposing the Japanese government's responsibility for these atrocities. The large scale imprisonment and rape of thousands of women, who were euphemistically called "comfort women" by the Japanese military, first seized public attention in 1991 when three Korean women filed suit in a Toyko District Court stating that they had been forced into sexual servitude and demanding compensation. Since then the comfort stations and their significance have been the subject of ongoing debate and intense activism in Japan, much if it inspired by Yoshimi's investigations. How large a role did the military, and by extension the government, play in setting up and administering these camps? What type of compensation, if any, are the victimized women due? These issues figure prominently in the current Japanese focus on public memory and arguments about the teaching and writing of history and are central to efforts to transform Japanese ways of remembering the war. Yoshimi Yoshiaki provides a wealth of documentation and testimony to prove the existence of some 2,000 centers where as many as 200,000 Korean, Filipina, Taiwanese, Indonesian, Burmese, Dutch, Australian, and some Japanese women were restrained for months and forced to engage in sexual activity with Japanese military personnel. Many of the women were teenagers, some as young as fourteen. To date, the Japanese government has neither admitted responsibility for creating the comfort station system nor given compensation directly to former comfort women. This English edition updates the Japanese edition originally published in 1995 and includes introductions by both the author and the translator placing the story in context for American readers.

This book was released on 2012-10-26 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Retired corruption investigator Charlie Eastman can't help it. He looks like a Texas Ranger and he's a magnet for everything he wants to avoid: Crazy people, dead people, people who kill people, love, and death. Set in West Texas today, two boys from different ethnic backgrounds unwittingly video their own murders on a river bottom during an ice storm. Lacking clues, a sheriff begs Eastman's help, but he declines, citing mental problems. Unfortunately, one of the wealthiest women in Texas, and a mysterious tattoo artist scam Eastman into searching for her brother whom she hasn't seen in decades. During the search, Eastman partners up with Doc Page, the red-haired town doctor who wields a terrible, swift tongue and smells of Noxzema cleansing cream, an aroma that drives him wild. A bizarre statue in the town square that locals call Gooberhenge, and a cockeyed promise Eastman makes atop a windmill, sets off an uncontrollable chain reaction of violence.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A childs life can be transformed by the people he or she holds the most dearest to their heart. However, when a child is not given the opportunity to experience the world as any normal adult, the results and the damages it brings can be devastating. Having no proper guidance and love, Aaron, was a child who explored his world, discovered his family, and lived through physical and sexual abuse in a small village. He grew older never to understand the meaning of love, his rights to free will, and his rights to get an education. He was denied everything that was possible under the sun. The world was unkind to Aaron as he searched diligently and effortlessly within himself to find the answers that would right his many wrongs and put an end to his tireless struggles. It seemed everywhere that Aaron turned there was a road block that prevented him from moving forward in his life. Throughout his childhood, Aaron could not understand what he has done to deserve and live through his painful experiences suffering fear, ridicule from strangers and neglect from his own family. Aaron would eventually get older to remember and reflect on all the experiences that occurred in his past. Though these experiences have shaped him into the person he is today, he has dealt with it accordingly by suppressing all the pain and burying it deep within his soul. Still impacted by the roadblocks and malice he encountered through his stay in the village, Aaron has used his experiences as motivation to improve his condition in life. He has become a survivor of death, slavery and abuse but in the end he will never stop to exceed peoples expectations of a child who at one point didnt have a way of being successful in this world. The evil in many peoples hearts has caused tremendous damage to this young childs self esteem but his fight, passion and focus to become someone has embedded a desire in himself to overcome all odds and have a name in this world that will never be forgotten.

Download or read book Big Thicket People written by Larry Jene Fisher and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2009-09-15 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Living off the land—hunting, fishing, and farming, along with a range of specialized crafts that provided barter or cash income—was a way of life that persisted well into the twentieth century in the Big Thicket of southeast Texas. Before this way of life ended with World War II, professional photographer Larry Jene Fisher spent a decade between the 1930s and 1940s photographing Big Thicket people living and working in the old ways. His photographs, the only known collection on this subject, constitute an irreplaceable record of lifeways that first took root in the southeastern woodlands of the colonial United States and eventually spread all across the Southern frontier. Big Thicket People presents Fisher's photographs in suites that document a wide slice of Big Thicket life-people, dogs, camps, deer hunts, farming, syrup mills, rooter hogs and stock raising, railroad tie making, barrel stave making, chimney building, peckerwood sawmills, logging, turpentining, town life, church services and picnics, funerals and golden weddings, and dances and other amusements. Accompanying each suite of images is a cultural essay by Thad Sitton, who also introduces the book with a historical overview of life in the Big Thicket. C. E. Hunt provides an informative biography of Larry Jene Fisher.
