Santiago And The Drinking Party, Clay Morgan Dec 1991

Santiago And The Drinking Party, Clay Morgan

Clay Morgan

Meet Daniel Cooper, a young American searching for a way to escape the predictability of life in the United States. Lured by wanderlust, Daniel travels to the Amazonian village of Los Puentes Caidos - a seductive hamlet of magical realities where human nature, Mother Nature, and the nature of truth converge in tropical excess.

There, old Santiago, a philosophic seeker, has formed his Drinking and Thinking Club. This curious "Thinkery" includes a skeptical war veteran, a noble dwarf, a far-seeing blind man, and assorted other questioners who spend their time drinking beer, sucking lemons, and reflecting - quite imaginatively and …

The Nwagu Aneke Igbo Script: Its Origins, Features And Potentials As A Medium Of Alternative Literacy In African Languages, Chukwuma Azuonye

Chukwuma Azuonye

The present paper is a study of the origins, features and significance of the Nwagu Aneke Igbo Syllabary (otherwise known as the Umuleri Igbo Script), one of the thirty or so indigenous systems of writing that(re-)emerged during the colonial period as a medium for challenging alien cultural values and for the re-assertion of the superiority of African spiritual and moral traditions and of the thought-patterns which lie behind them.

The present paper is a study of the origins, features and significance of the Nwagu Aneke Igbo Syllabary (otherwise known as the Umuleri Igbo Script), one of the thirty or so indigenous systems of writing which (re-)emerged in West Africa during the colonial period as a medium for challenging alien cultural values and for the re-assertion of the superiority of African spiritual and moral traditions and of the thought-patterns which lie behind them.

"He was millions of years younger now.

It was spring in the city. Small white clouds scudded overhead and the breeze reached down between buildings. Newspapers rambled past. Their shadows bounced beneath them, chasing them into the street and under the wheels of cars. He watched, entranced. The rush of traffic dazzled him. The sky's bright blue made him shiver. Every time he looked up, he felt his eyes startled wide and a small nervequake tremble down his back. He dared the sensations as he waited for his bus. He kept glancing from the street to the sky, triggering that …

Literary Analysis Of The Special Form Of Satire Swift Invented For A Modest Proposal, Charles Kay Smith Oct 1968

Literary Analysis Of The Special Form Of Satire Swift Invented For A Modest Proposal, Charles Kay Smith

Charles Kay Smith

Some of Swift's more conventional classical figures of speech have already been noted, though more or less in isolation to one another as well as to larger designs and aesthetic aims. Swift's genius in A Modest Proposal is to create a speaker whose monologue keeps two distinct styles operational at all times. The style of which the speaker is aware is constantly opposed by covert and innovative verbal and grammatical techniques which the proposer sets in motion but of which he remains unaware, which slowly but surely turns a reader's sympathies against him and against those who share his callous …
