Book Synopsis A Christmas Story by : Jean Shepherd
Download or read book A Christmas Story written by Jean Shepherd and published by Crown. This book was released on 2010-10-27 with total page 109 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A beloved, bestselling classic of humorous and nostalgic Americana—the book that inspired the equally classic Yuletide film and the live musical on Fox. The holiday film A Christmas Story, first released in 1983, has become a bona fide Christmas perennial, gaining in stature and fame with each succeeding year. Its affectionate, wacky, and wryly realistic portrayal of an American family’s typical Christmas joys and travails in small-town Depression-era Indiana has entered our imagination and our hearts with a force equal to It’s a Wonderful Life and Miracle on 34th Street. This edition of A Christmas Story gathers together in one hilarious volume the gems of autobiographical humor that Jean Shepherd drew upon to create this enduring film. Here is young Ralphie Parker’s shocking discovery that his decoder ring is really a device to promote Ovaltine; his mother and father’s pitched battle over the fate of a lascivious leg lamp; the unleashed and unnerving savagery of Ralphie’s duel in the show with the odious bullies Scut Farkas and Grover Dill; and, most crucially, Ralphie’s unstoppable campaign to get Santa—or anyone else—to give him a Red Ryder carbine action 200-shot range model air rifle. Who cares that the whole adult world is telling him, “You’ll shoot your eye out, kid”? The pieces that comprise A Christmas Story, previously published in the larger collections In God We Trust, All Others Pay Cash and Wanda Hickey’s Night of Golden Memories, coalesce in a magical fashion to become an irresistible piece of Americana, quite the equal of the film in its ability to warm the heart and tickle the funny bone.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Learn Something New This Christmas We hate to admit it, but after years, sometimes even decades, of reading the same Luke 2 story of Christmas, we get a little bored—we lose some of the awe we ought to have when discussing the greatest miracle in history. That’s why The Characters of Christmas was written, to help you take a fresh look at the Christmas story by getting to know the minor characters that played a part in Jesus’ birth, such as Zechariah and Elizabeth, the Shepherds, and Herod. As you slow down, engage your imagination, and enter into the stories of these women and men, you’ll see the most important character—Jesus Christ—with new eyes. And with discussion questions and a Christmas song suggestion at the end of each chapter, it’s perfect for engaging your whole family. Break free from the familiar, and discover something you never knew about the story you’ve always heard.

Book Synopsis The Christmas Hero and Yuletide Tradition in Sir Gawain and the Green Knight by : Walter S. Phelan
Download or read book The Christmas Hero and Yuletide Tradition in Sir Gawain and the Green Knight written by Walter S. Phelan and published by Edwin Mellen Press. This book was released on 1992 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An intertextual study of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight examining the motif of gift-giving or handsel, this work explores the Christmas hero and looks at the rich culture of medieval crafts and entertainments, especially the drama and the carol. This neo-historical account of the ener gies of yule contains a diversity of contexts outside the Middle Ages, from the Epic of Gilgamesh to Murder in the Cathedral. The book's innovative method involves semantic collation, a careful sifting through and alignment of the semes of two texts in a literary diptych, and concludes with a thesaurus of the vocabulary which follows the structure of the pentangle. Through the study of the concepts of Earth, Craft, Virtue, Christmas Joy, and Wound, the pentangle thesaurus brings some balance to the interpretation of the poem by correlating the elements of Creation and Incarnation. It concludes with speculations on the Gawain-poet's relationship to mysticism traditions, especially those indigenous to the North and Midlands in the late 14th century.

Book Synopsis The Golden Era Christmas Tales by : Maxine Johnson
Download or read book The Golden Era Christmas Tales written by Maxine Johnson and published by Covenant Books, Inc.. This book was released on 2019-12-11 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Christmas Hero Children love heroes because they help others. During the Golden Era, aka 1950s, children thought of policemen, firemen, soldiers, doctors, etc. as their heroes. When asked what they wanted to be when they grew up, their response would be one of those. The children of Annanhem are no different. They live a life of freedom with very little concern about the dreaded "evil scientist" who is out to destroy or take over the world. They think more about defeating Communism specifically in Korea, bank robbers, and disease. They admire and trust the doctors, soldiers, policemen, and firemen in their town to right wrongs and to save lives. Christmas Hospitality Marion delights in being back in Annanhem. She spent most of her childhood summers there and made great friends. She never dreamed she would be working as the librarian. When unexpected visitors arrive early one morning, she offers them what they really need the most, hospitality. When Pastor Robert Stephenson discovers her gift, he is enthralled. Will it be possible to capture her attention and make her his permanent hostess only in a more personal way? Christmas Hopes Tragedy led Sarah to her mother in Annanhem. Hired to teach junior and senior English classes, Sarah works to learn the names of everyone in town. After being in town just a month, Sarah has a run-in with the new doctor Abraham Hollinsworth, who literally knocks her of her feet. Finding out she is a married woman, Abraham finds himself in desperate straits and doubting his understanding of where he felt sure God was leading him. Mystery surrounds Sarah, but Abe, somewhat of a mystery himself, takes on the task of helping to solve the mystery. Will they find their hopes fulfilled?
