Download or read book A Boy's Own Story written by Edmund White and published by Open Road Media. This book was released on 2014-12-23 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “An extraordinary novel” about growing up gay in the 1950s American Midwest (The New York Times Book Review). Critically lauded upon its initial publication in 1982 for its pioneering depiction of homosexuality, A Boy’s Own Story is a moving tale about coming-of-age in midcentury America. With searing clarity and unabashed wit, Edmund White’s unnamed protagonist yearns for what he knows to be shameful. He navigates an uneasy relationship with his father, confounds first loves, and faces disdain from his peers at school. In the embrace of another, he discovers the sincere and clumsy pleasures of adolescent sexuality. But for boys in the 1950s, these desires were unthinkable. Looking back on his experiences, the narrator notes, “I see now that what I wanted was to be loved by men and to love them back but not to be a homosexual.” From a winner of the PEN/Saul Bellow Award for Lifetime Achievement in Literature, this trailblazing autobiographical story of one boy’s youth is a moving, tender, and heartbreaking portrait of what it means to grow up.

Book Synopsis Are Piranhas Dangerous? by : Jason Roberts
Download or read book Are Piranhas Dangerous? written by Jason Roberts and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2022-11-07 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Are piranhas dangerous? Well, piranhas are much less dangerous to humans than electric eels or sharks. Aquarium hobbyists that enjoy frightening fish even keep piranhas as pets. But what if you encounter them in the wild? Can a piranha eat a human if provoked? For the most part, piranhas are not dangerous to humans. They are very well equipped to be a threat to us. Yet they almost never attack people. Jeremy Wade of River Monsters performed an amazing stunt a few years ago. He took a swimming pool full of piranhas and added a bit of blood to the water. Enticing them with the smell. Next, he feeds the piranhas with a bit of meat on a string. Proving that they are plenty hungry and able to tear chunks out of flesh. And then he enters the pool in shorts. What do the piranhas do to him? As it turns out: nothing at all. The school of piranhas remains at the other end of the pool most of the time. They do move close as Jeremy stays still. But not once do they try to bite or attack as a school. River Monsters viewers and internet commenters took this as proof that piranhas are harmless. Simply a fish with big teeth that pop culture has made into a monster. Yet that's not the entire truth of the matter...
