Download or read book Women Characters in Baseball Literature written by Kathleen Sullivan and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2005-06-08 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the early 20th century, American writers have both recorded and fictionalized the real-life activities of great athletes, as well as created original characters for sports stories. How have women fared in this literature? Women Characters in Baseball Literature is the first comprehensive evaluation of the women characters of baseball literature, including women's crucial roles on and off the field of play. Applying several feminist theories and examining the works in the context of both myth and psychology, the author discusses baseball fiction written by both men and women. Among the topics discussed are the literary implications of motherhood; how patterns of behavior in women characters often recall Greek goddesses; and how women characters and the feminist imagination enrich the literature of this apparently masculinized sport. Authors covered include Bernard Malamud, Mark Harris, August Wilson, Lamar Herrin, Nancy Willard, Silvia Tennenbaum, Karen Joy Fowler, and others.

Download or read book Adolescent Female Portraits in the American Novel 1961-1981 written by Jane S. Bakerman and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-10-01 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1983, this title lists and annotates reference sources which will help readers select primary materials useful in studies of the literary portraits of women and their societal roles. The years 1961 to 1981 were set as boundaries for this volume because the author’s initial research revealed that a twenty-year span was a manageable unit, because the novels published between those dates yielded abundant materials for such a reference work, and because significant changes in the way portraits of adolescent females were being drawn took place during the period – for example, sex-role stereotyping became a shade less prevalent, young women’s sexuality was discussed more forthrightly, and some topics (such as single women’s pregnancies and lesbianism) were treated more overtly, sometimes less judgementally.

Book excerpt: There seemed to be a huge gaping hole inside of me. I wanted some answers but didn't know where to look. I felt like there was a huge world-wide conspiracy afoot to keep me in a state of utter confusion, making me so numb that I had no choice but to give up and let the experts get on with it. What a wonderful thing democracy is. You can say what you want as long as you do as you're told. It all seemed so superficial, so inadequate. Where would it all lead? Lying in some hospital bed in thirty years' time, dying of some 'disease of civilization'; up to my neck in debt, alcoholism, depression, loneliness and insanity. There had to be more to life than this.I am talking about liberation here. Freedom from the bondage of self. Freedom from our blinkered, prejudiced, opinionated thoughts. If you always do what you've always done, you'll always get what you always got.The more stoned I got, the more abstract yet somehow meaningful it all became. We were one and the same. I was he. He was me. That bald little Chinese monk on TV was beckoning me to follow the path, the way of the warrior, the way of the Grasshopper. The monk was right; change was the natural way of the universe. Things were not always as they appeared to be.A young Scottish boxer breaks away from the shackles of his environment, only to find himself mixed up with heroin smuggling in Asia. A story of violence, prison, fear and desperation, which leads to inner reflection and finally redemption. Fiction? You wish!-The Groove MagazinePlease Note: This book contains out of date stereotypes and adult themes. Although these are key to the characters and plot, reader discretion is advised.

Book excerpt: Tom Trinity believes baseball is his life. Even if he throws nothing but no hitters, he’s wrong. Tammy, a runaway, becomes more important than any perfect fastball, as are mystical caves where someone, perhaps his father, teaches him to pitch. Tom fears he might become like his grandfather Dr. Winchester, who commits more heinous crimes than Edgar Allan Poe could ever have imagined. Even though he is groomed by wondrous tales of blue dolphins trapped in giant aquariums and a greenhouse to rival any Amazon jungle, others about Dr. Winchester haunt Tom. They force him out of baseball and into a mother’s betrayal. He slides into who he is and where he has come from as he tries to tame his love for Tammy—a switch-hitter he cannot strike out.

Book excerpt: LEFT-HANDED IN A RIGHT-HANDED WORLD is the most important book ever written for & about left-handed people. It explores the problems & difficulties that left-handers may encounter while growing up in a predominantly right-handed society. It provides awareness & understanding of issues that have been ignored & neglected for far too long, by covering a variety of things that relate to the health, happiness, education & safety of left-handed people. The book disputes the historical portrayal of left-handers as evil, sinister, weak, or inferior people, & discusses the many myths & misconceptions about them. However, it does not go to the opposite extreme of claiming that left-handers have any type of natural superiority. The authors main contention is that left-handers are basically equal to right-handed people in physical & mental ability, but society stifles & hinders left-handers which makes it harder for them to develop their ability. This book is recommended reading for all left-handers, & for parents & teachers of left-handed children. For further information, call 1-800-511-LEFT.
