Download or read book Alfie's Diary written by Rosemary J Kind and published by . This book was released on 2015-04-21 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alfie Dog, the founder of the Pet Dogs' Democratic Party and champion of the rights of the underdog, brings you 'Alfie's Diary - Dog enough not to be human, human enough to be a pet.' Alfie has written his diary as an internet blog since the age of 10 weeks old, developing a growing, loyal reader base and has now pulled together the best of the first year of his diary in book form. His diary presents an entertaining and thought provoking dog's eye view of the world. His book follows his considerations of career options for dogs and his concerns that discrimination legislation needs to be extended to cover his species. He dismisses the usual occupations for Swiss Mountain Dogs, based primarily on his dislike for both bad weather and hard work and instead sets himself up as the self styled leader of his own political party. Alfie is not slow to spot opportunities and even at this tender age has identified marketing opportunities including his own range of T shirts, with slogans such as 'Isn't everyone wearing dog hair this season?', 'Minimum wage for working dogs' and 'Every dog must have his say'. Whilst growing up in Belgium he has travelled around a number of European countries. His unique blend of observational humour and satire enables him to highlight the peculiarities of the different nationalities of humans that he finds in everyday life around him and he is more than happy to comment on their idiosyncrasies. Alfie is depressed by the state of education of 'the dog on the street'. He is concerned that most of his fellow kind are simply trained to obey and are not provided with the tools to think for themselves. He is endearing, playful and not afraid to poke fun at everything and everyone around him, including his owners and is certainly not afraid to laugh at himself. Sadly, Alfie is never destined to have puppies of his own and he talks frankly and at times candidly about his disappointment and about the medical problems that have caused this situation. In researching his family tree he expresses concern about the close relationship of some of his ancestors. Behind all of this Alfie talks about all the normal processes of growing up in what he regards as a slightly crazy household, together with the insecurities and emotions faced by any young puppy. Through his revelations, his humour and his pathos, Alfie will make you laugh and at times make you cry. Most of all he will leave you wanting to meet him and find out whether the Pet Dogs' Democratic Party has had any of its policies adopted by the other political parties now that he has moved back to England.
Book Synopsis The Qualified Self by : Lee Humphreys
Download or read book The Qualified Self written by Lee Humphreys and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2018-04-13 with total page 197 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How sharing the mundane details of daily life did not start with Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube but with pocket diaries, photo albums, and baby books. Social critiques argue that social media have made us narcissistic, that Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube are all vehicles for me-promotion. In The Qualified Self, Lee Humphreys offers a different view. She shows that sharing the mundane details of our lives—what we ate for lunch, where we went on vacation, who dropped in for a visit—didn't begin with mobile devices and social media. People have used media to catalog and share their lives for several centuries. Pocket diaries, photo albums, and baby books are the predigital precursors of today's digital and mobile platforms for posting text and images. The ability to take selfies has not turned us into needy narcissists; it's part of a longer story about how people account for everyday life. Humphreys refers to diaries in which eighteenth-century daily life is documented with the brevity and precision of a tweet, and cites a nineteenth-century travel diary in which a young woman complains that her breakfast didn't agree with her. Diaries, Humphreys explains, were often written to be shared with family and friends. Pocket diaries were as mobile as smartphones, allowing the diarist to record life in real time. Humphreys calls this chronicling, in both digital and nondigital forms, media accounting. The sense of self that emerges from media accounting is not the purely statistics-driven “quantified self,” but the more well-rounded qualified self. We come to understand ourselves in a new way through the representations of ourselves that we create to be consumed.

Book Synopsis Mad Frank's Diary by : Frankie Fraser
Download or read book Mad Frank's Diary written by Frankie Fraser and published by Random House. This book was released on 2019-06-06 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ‘They say I’ve killed 40 people and who am I to disagree? I’ve always liked even numbers.’ Branded the dentist for using pliers to extract the teeth of those who owed money to his boss Charlie Richardson, Frankie Fraser was labelled the most dangerous man in Britain by two Home Secretaries. He is famous for his crimes, many of which have entered gangster folklore. In these diaries, however, originally published when he was 78, Mad Frank delved into areas he had never chosen, or dared, to talk about before. His day-by-day entries record unsolved murders, shoot-outs, crooked coppers, bribery, extortion, wrongful convictions, and even sex in prison. And by contrast, he also opens up with personal memories of growing up in poverty, in London's East End, and the reality of having to steal food to feed the family. Frankie Frasier died in 2014, and this rare True Crime classic is first-hand history at its most compelling.

Eleven-year-old Triffie is the middle daughter of a well-to-do merchant. Triffie knows nothing about what it means to be poor — until the disastrous fire of 1892 burns down most of St. John's, Newfoundland, leaving Triffie's family and 15,000 others homeless. The fire claimed everything but their underwear, Mother's best china . . . and Triffie's journal. With no other options, Triffie's family moves into a filthy warehouse while they attempt to rebuild their lives from the ground up. The aftermath of the fire teaches Triffie a lot about what it means to survive. More importantly, she comes face to face with her own prejudices, and begins to develop a much greater appreciation for how the less fortunate live.

Book excerpt: To those around Jergen Black, beauty equaled having straight hair; it was an equation that she never quite understood. All her young life, Jergen watched her now thin-haired mother, Mamma Dee, constantly smoke up the kitchen with a hot comb while straightening people's hair and bragging about how beautiful they were going to look when she finished. Jergen's choice to wear her hair natural is constantly critiqued by those around her, as well as by her "ghetto" grandmother who dates Stockton, the town drug lord who is half her age. Not only does Jergen have to worry about her mother becoming bald from burning out her own hair, she also has to worry about her grandmother's dangerous lifestyle getting the best of her. Jotting down the events of the day in the new diary that her ex-boyfriend's mother gave her provides Jergen with an outlet for her to express her thoughts freely. Jergen is able to make it through with the help of her three best friends who call themselves "La Natural"- four very smart black beauties who happily wear their hair natural and show it off despite the reaction they receive from the outside world.
