Download or read book The Half-Opened Door written by Marcia Synnott and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-12 with total page 359 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By the turn of the twentieth century, academic nativism had taken root in elite American colleges—specifically, Harvard, Yale, and Princeton. White, Anglo-Saxon, Protestant hegemony was endangered by new kinds of student, many of them Catholic and Jewish immigrants. The newcomers threatened to displace native-born Americans by raising academic standards and winning a disproportionate share of the scholarships. The Half-Opened Door analyzes the role of these institutions, casting light on their place in class structure and values in the United States. It details the origins, history, and demise of discriminatory admissions processes and depicts how the entrenched position of the upper class was successfully challenged. The educational, and hence economic, mobility of Catholics and Jews has shown other groups—for example, African Americans, Asian Americans, and Spanish-speaking Americans—not only the difficulties that these earlier aspirants had in overcoming class and ethnic barriers, but the fact that it can be done. One of the ironies of the history of higher education in the United States is the use of quotas by admissions committees. Restrictive measures were imposed on Jews because they were so successful, whereas benign quotas are currently used to encourage underrepresented minorities to enter colleges and professional schools. The competing claims of both the older and the newer minorities continue to be the subject of controversy, editorial comments, and court cases—and will be for years to come.

Suddenly he became quite rich in his young days itself and there was a rumor that Prathyagrahi took the help of some spirits to become rich like that. But Prathyagrahi never has agreed to that and his wife Savitri also could not know the truth however much hard she tried. Even she always suspected, Savitri did not convince and confirm in herself that Prathyagrahi took the help of some evil power to become rich like that, until she heard her granddaughter Ragini, possessed by the bad angel Upanya talking at bedridden Prathyagrahi that she would take revenge on him and his family as he took help from her and betrayed her and her gang. Feeling very much fear that Upanya, the bad angel, put her words into action, at the suggestion of his whole family, Prathyagrahi’s son Sadan invited his parapsychologist friend Anurag to his home to solve the problem of that evil power. Once came into the house of his friend Sadan, Anurag started trying in all the ways possible to know about that evil power and solve the problem. He suspected that some spirit was trying to contact the people in Prathyagrahi’s room and communicate something because of the strange experiences of nurses at Prathyagrahi and Prathyagrahi’s daughter Mandakini in that room. He made Yamuna, the night time nurse at Prathyagrahi to act as medium to that spirit and that spirit, who was Prathyagrahi himself, came into Yamuna and communicated with his family. Prathyagrahi’s sorcerer friend Viloma gave him the ability to separate himself from the body and communicate with his family members. Prathyagrahi at last revealed his secret through Yamuna that he took the help of Upanya the bad angel to become rich in his life promising to help it and its gang in return in their deeds but after coming to know about the bad nature of Upanya and her gang he got them spell-bounded to metal dolls, put them in a metal pot and buried deep under earth by his friend and sorcerer Viloma. But after eighty or so of years, the place where those bad angels were buried was excavated, that pot has been taken out from there and when the metal dolls were touched with impure hands they lost their power and those bad angels could become free. Viloma once again made those dolls became powerful and got them reached Prathyagrahi. As suggested by Prathyagrahi, Anurag made contact with Viloma, the sorcerer, to know how to get rid of those bad angels again. Viloma said to him, on a peculiar solar eclipse day, which comes on a Sunday, first week, first month in a year, luckily which was going to happen soon, those bad angels would be with very little power and on that day those bad angels could be easily invited into those metal dolls, spell-bounded and buried under earth after putting them in a special metal pot as he did on such a peculiar solar eclipse day eighty years or so back. But some conditions have to be met with to do that and Viloma elaborated them to Anurag. Those conditions were carefully met with by Anurag and Sadan’s family members and on the peculiar solar eclipse day, Viloma possessing Anurag invited those bad angels into those dolls, spell-bounded them and buried them deep under earth just as he did eighty years or so before. But before being buried like that, Upanya and her gang, so desperately tried to escape from that and used Dr.Mallikarjun who attended on Prathyagrahi and Dr.Sasichandan who is a junior doctor in Dr.Mallikarjun’s hospital. Samita, a nurse, also has been used by Upanya to spoil the plans of Anurag and Viloma. But however much hard they tried none of their plans worked and they had to meet with the tragic end!

And Michael’s heard a secret, one that might explain the bruises on his mother’s face. When the whispers at home and on the street become too loud to ignore, Michael begins to wonder if there is an even bigger secret he doesn’t know about. Scared of what might happen if anyone finds out, and desperate for life to return to normal, Michael sets out to piece together the truth. But he also has to prepare for the upcoming talent show, keep an eye out for Dirty Alice, his arch-nemesis from down the street, and avoid eating Granny’s watery stew.

It is a vivid evocation of the fears and freedoms of childhood in the 1980s and a powerful tale of love, the loss of innocence and the importance of family in difficult times.
