Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Young Boy’s Dream in and Old Man’s Heart is a retrospective look at a man who discovers the only path to a better version of yourself is through education. Involving yourself with positive role models, faith in God, and retaining wisdom is a road map to that better version of you. Eugene Hargro takes you on an informative road trip on empowering yourself through education and self-realization. His testimonial is a unique look at the essence of time; people waste time and think they have all the time in the world to do whatever they want but the “old man” informs you that time is a precious commodity. A teaching tool for any level of learning is the best way to describe this book. This series of essays in this connective style will stimulate your mind and present some questions to where you are going in life. “I want my book to help people and serve as a learning tree; this story has roots that spread out through the fertile soil of the mind. Branches that reach for the sunlight of the soul and leaves of knowledge that can fall on our youth. My story is firsthand, so I am devoting the rest of my life to inspiring others. I want my life to be positive example for others.” The pathway to your dreams is set.
Book Synopsis Summary of The Old Man and the Sea by Ernest Hemingway by : getAbstract AG
Download or read book Summary of The Old Man and the Sea by Ernest Hemingway written by getAbstract AG and published by getAbstract AG. This book was released on 2021-12-27 with total page 18 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The old man, his boat, the admiring boy, the sea, a few clouds, two or three fish, a few birds, the great marlin and finally the sharks – those are the ingredients of this famous novella. Stripping out the complications of modern life, Hemingway presents a story of one man’s timeless struggle both with and against the elements. Survival isn’t simply a Darwinian struggle to determine the fittest, but a need to persevere despite challenges and setbacks: to rise to the occasion but also accept that events can turn a success into a failure. It’s the need to go to sleep at the end of a harrowing ordeal with the simple idea that tomorrow you’ll get up and try again. The work of an aging author, The Old Man and the Sea focuses on the realities of growing old and the desire to remain vital and relevant. Much like the old man in the book, Hemingway found himself looking back on his early successes while finding it ever harder to repeat them. As such, his last completed work of fiction was a triumph over his critics, who had basically declared him finished as a novelist. In the middle of a confusing 20th century and with his characteristically economical style, Hemingway makes the battle of this lone fisherman off the coast of Cuba into a poignant story of humanity’s struggle to find meaning.

This book was released on 2015-04-13 with total page 389 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Up until his eighty sixth birthday, Roy Crumpton could have been described as the most ordinary of people. A man quite content with easy chairs and comfortable trousers. But eighty-six years of loneliness is a long time. An epiphany in his greenhouse sets into motion a chain of extraordinary and unlikely events, wherein we see that when one loses their heart, they often lose their head at the same time. Roy comes to realise that throwing yourself into the wind of fate is the best way to be blown in the right direction. In a journey that sees him tackle the postal service, reluctant companionship, the high seas and the most remote island in the world, despite the odds, he is finally blessed with the good fortune denied him for so many years. It seeks to remind us that it is never to late to set out on an adventure, especially when love is perhaps the greatest adventure of them all.

Book Synopsis Old Man's Cabin by : Joann Ellen Sisco
Download or read book Old Man's Cabin written by Joann Ellen Sisco and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2015-04-02 with total page 215 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: No one saw it being built, and the residents of River Bend, Arkansas never got acquainted with the builder before he just disappeared, but he left his tiny, strictly one-man, cabin behind on property that belonged to no one. The land had once belonged to the river, and someday it might be taken back, but in the 1900s hill country, it had one more purpose and the angels would see that the purpose came about. Young Jefferson Masters was a master logger, being the link between the massive trees on the hillside and the lovely, durable furniture created from oak, pecan and walnut logs. He was also skillful at turning logs into cabins, and would create one for himself just as soon as he found someone to occupy it with him. For a young man who is slow in finding a mate, the best path to take is toward a girl who knows how its done and again, it may take the services of an angel or maybe a sick, old man.

Book Synopsis My Old Man’S a Busman by : Peter Gilbert
Download or read book My Old Man’S a Busman written by Peter Gilbert and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2014-05-15 with total page 245 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Whilst there are enough celebrity connections and anecdotes not to be out of place in an A list autobiography, the real hook of this book is that the author isnt remotely famous. The endearing appeal is that it is the viewpoint of the everyman, but one who has had enough light brushes with celebrity that he has some great tales to tell. These stories, anecdotes and musings are seamlessly woven into what for many of us will be a memory jogging, laughter inducing remembrance of some of the major, as well as quainter, stranger and more trivial moments of pop culture over the last few decades. If you love pop music and pop culture, feared the Daleks, the Child Catcher from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and mourn the demise of Pez, Cresta, conkers as a rite of passage, jokes on lolly sticks, Top of the Pops and pink vinyl limited edition LPs, then you will surely enjoy this. Please beware! This book may waste days (if not weeks) of your life as almost every paragraph will have you frantically typing into your search engine and getting lost, on what may turn out to be an endless Internet Safari. This book contains some adult humour. Best Wishes and Good Luck with your writing Ben Elton
