Laurie Albanese
Blue Suburbia : Almost a Memoir

2004 y.
Publisher: —

Description: Book Description Blue Suburbia is a searing memoir so fresh, original, and honest that it will break your heart and renew your faith in the human spirit. With each spare stroke of her pen, Laurie Lico Albanese paints a vivid portrait of the blue-collar landscape of her childhood -- rusted swing sets, auto body shops, greasy hands, home improvements -- taking readers along for the wild, treacherous ride that leads to her escape. Her mother may stand silently at the sink year after year, orlie in the basement weeping, but Albanese is determined to flee the deadening certainty of her parents` lives. Her story does not disappoint us. By turns haunting, hilarious, tragic, and romantic, Blue Suburbia is the chronicle of a determined young woman who overcomes family limitations, socio-economic obstacles, and personal fears to build a happy -- and blessedly ordinary -- life. Written entirely in free verse, Blue Suburbia `s cadence is a steady, rhythmic… [detailed...]

Chris Giles and John Powell III
Blue and White English: Lessons, Practice, and Resources in Grammar, Composition, and Literature

2004 y.
Publisher: Focus Publishing

Description: As a streamlined explanation of English grammar`s basic concepts and categories, `English in Blue and White` is exactly what is most needed and too often withheld from the middle-school students for whom it is primarily designed. It is accessible without being simplistic and thus also an excellent resource for older students playing catch-up in the field of grammar. I also admired the authors` incisive. advice on the art of writing, an `Elements of Style`, in effect, for younger students. What I enjoyed the most, however, was their use of sample sentences of genuine literary merit, e.g., exemplifying adverbs with that great quip from Mark Twain: `I was glad to be able to answer promptly, and I did. I said I didn`t know`. All in all, a very sensible and attractive work in a field where textbooks with those attributes are in short supply. [detailed...]

John Bodnar
Blue-Collar Hollywood : Liberalism, Democracy, and Working People in American Film

2003 y.
Publisher: —

Description: Book Description From Tom Joad to Norma Rae to Spike Lee`s Mookie in Do the Right Thing , Hollywood has regularly dramatized the lives and struggles of working people in America. Ranging from idealistic to hopeless, from sympathetic to condescending, these portrayals confronted audiences with the vital economic, social, and political issues of their times while providing a diversion -- sometimes entertaining, sometimes provocative -- from the realities of their own lives. In Blue-Collar Hollywood , John Bodnar examines the ways in which popular American films made between the 1930s and the 1980s depicted working--class characters, comparing these cinematic representations with the aspirations of ordinary Americans and the promises made to them by the country`s political elites. Based on close and imaginative viewings of dozens of films from every genre -- among them Public Enemy , Black Fury , Baby Face , The Grapes of Wrath , It`s… [detailed...]
