Lá Cờ Thêu Sáu Chữ Vàng (Tái Bản 2017) Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Nguyễn Huy Tưởng

Right after finishing the book, I wanted to give it a 3 star rating because I felt as though a light had been abruptly switched off, and I was left in the darkness, with more questions than answers. I just wanted to continue reading and have a sense of closure. However, when I had a chance to reflect on the author's writing style, the unforgettable imagery that he (and the translator) brought to my mind, and my own emotions as I was drawn into the protagonist's life - I have to, in all fairness, give the book at least a 4 star rating, which it richly deserves. The prose is sparse, yet potent.. you have to re-read many sentences just to grasp the hidden meaning behind the text. There is a poignant beauty in the wilderness of Norway, which is described so gracefully in this book. The protagonist (Trond) is living the rest of his years as an elderly widower in a small village in Norway, in a rustic cabin not unlike the one he shared with his father during one fateful summer in 1948, when he was a teenager. We are given glimpses of his memories of that time, and his almost dream-like current state where he copes with the death of his wife. The pace of the book is surprisingly quick and you learn (as does Trond), that his father's past involved more than just leading a bucolic existence in a remote part of Norway. So an extremely interesting plot line develops, but you are left with this very unsatisfied feeling at the end of the book. Perhaps that was the author's goal - to make the reader mull over the tragedy of lost youth, coming to terms with unfulfilled promises made by a parent, and the experience of recalling long forgotten memories as a result of the self imposed isolation that is almost inevitable after losing loved ones. "Out Stealing Horses" is a combination of meditative prose and quietly powerful narrative that is a refreshing reading experience. I think it might be even more enjoyable to the reader if they keep in mind that every word is to be relished, instead of waiting for the proverbial "beginning", "middle" and the "end".

Con Sẻ Vàng Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

A fictional journal of a boy before and during his internment during WWII that I definitely recommend using this with middle school students as a supplement to their social studies unit on WWII. The sentence structure and vocabulary are just right for my student population, and the narrator is REALISTIC--he sounds like my kids. Conflicts include the father being taken away to be interrogated for over a year, the rest of the family being sent to god knows where, life in the internment camp, getting father back a zombie, having a friend get involved in baseball gambling and then throwing a game, having a roommate who has been separated from his wife in Japan who worries throughout the book only to finally find relief when he receives letter indicating that she and his daughter are safe at his brother's house in Hiroshima..... They boy reports about the problems and the benefits in a seemingly honest way, and I did get a better sense of life in the camp than when I read a nonfiction book about Japanese Internment in my middle school library. My issue with the text is this: The author writes in near-perfect, grammatically sound sentences that still captures this middle-school voice. For example, he'd say that this know-it-all kid is "half Japanese, half Jerk" and when he's talking, Ben "tried not to puke." So, I could see the narrator being a normal kid. I know that my students can't write with perfect punctuation, and I'm so THANKFUL that the author chose to write with the standards of proper English anyway, at no expense, even though it's a "journal." The problem is, just like in the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series, the author uses improper grammar as far as pronoun usage goes, which angers me! Why? Why? Why? (Example: "Me and Naomi went to the mess hall") This kind of error is so pervasive in this country that soon the correct syntax "Naomi and I went to the mess hall") will sound completely foreign. I want my students to read more SO THAT they will be exposed to proper grammar, usage, mechanics, and spelling. Since the author chose not to use real-life lack of punctuation and a bunch of spelling errors, my only guess is that these authors (Denenberg & Jeff Kinney) really don't know better. I assume that they themselves don't know how to use the correct pronoun in a sentence with a compound subject or direct object. I have noticed that the word "till" as a shortened version of "until" is now commonly used and accepted. It's in my son's basal readers AND in countless books that I've read in the last month. Will it be acceptable, pretty soon, to start saying "Me and him are best friends" ? While I will perpetually cringe, I suppose it will make my job easier (I don't really mean that). I implore the editors of this book series (Dear America) to publish no more books without correcting these errors! Overall, a good text to peddle to your students for educational purposes (at the expense of your grammar lessons). It even includes some nonfiction historical background at the end of the book for which I am enthusiastically envisioning the possibilities.

Yêu Trên Từng Ngón Tay Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Trần Trà My

Its the classic struggle of an immigrant. And especially of first generation Americans. The tug of war between the tradition of the motherland and the norms of the new land. The protagonist reluctantly tread this path of confusion. Jhumpa Lahiri moved the story in a way that help convey his sense of helplessness and his reluctance that even those who have not gone through the experience can relate. Not only the dialogue but the settings that Gogol/Nick goes to, the peripheral characters he meet along the way and the continual disagreement with his ailing father. On a more elevated level, the story isn't merely commenting on young immigrant coming of age identity but the identity of everyone in general. That's one of the best part of the text, it isn't targeting one audience. Not to mention the witty dialogue nestle in the plot. Very interesting read for anyone.

Dế Mèn Phiêu Lưu Ký (Ấn Bản Kỉ Niệm 60 Năm NXB Kim Đồng) Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi:

This is a beautifully written and atmospheric novel by Camilla Gibb. Beauty is set in contemporary Vietnam but encompasses a hard look at the cost of the last seventy years of Vietnam history through the eyes of three individuals. In Hanoi, Old Man Hung’s pho is famous. Pho is a soup that is “a combination of the rice noodles that predominated after a thousand years of Chinese occupation and the taste for beef the Vietnamese acquired under the French” and that combination of cultures and conquerors says a lot about the search for identity in this novel. Hung has spent his life selling his pho, surviving poverty and political upheaval. Hung has lives through French colonization, Japanese occupation, Chinese occupation and now the Capitalism occupation. In the 1950's Hung had a successful cafe and a soft spot for the dissident artists and intellectuals he let use his place for secret meetings. Now the 80 year old sells his delicious masterpiece from an old cart constantly dodging the police. Hung's noodle shop is one of a young man named Tu's favorite places. Tu' is the grandson of one of Hung's old radical friends. He works in a relatively new industry in Vietnam. He is a tourist guide for a company called New Dawn. Tu' spends his days pointing out the sights and wondering what his tourists, especially the repentant American Vets, are really seeing in his country. Maggie has also found Hung's pho and Tu'. She was born in Vietnam but raised in the U.S. She has come back to her unwelcoming birthplace in search of the artist Father she cannot truly remember. In order to stretch the bits of memory she has about her Father Maggie will need the Vietnam of Hung's past and the modern Vietnam of Tu'. Gibb captures the culture, smells and history of a nation that has all three in spades. Her descriptions of the food alone make me yearn for a Vietnamese restaurant to open up next door immediately. In The Beauty of Humanity Movement food and suffering seem to be the only constants in Vietnam over the last one hundred years. Camilia Gibb has taken a time honored plotline, searching for your roots, and by placing it in a country as young and as old as Vietnam has infused a freshness and complexity that had me enthralled.

Calvin: Of Course some animals get on your nerves once in a while. _________ Calvin: Did you watch any television yesterday? Hobbes: No Calvin: Gosh, what was yesterday like? Calvin: I think life should be more like tv. Calvin: I think life’s problems ought to be solved in 30 minutes with simple homilies, don’t you? I think weight and oral hygiene ought to be our biggest concerns. Calvin: I think we should all have powerful, high-paying jobs, and everyone should drive fancy sports cars . All our desires should be instantly gratified. Calvin: Women should always wear tight clothes, and men whould carry powerful handguns. Calvin: Life overall should be more glamorous, thrill-packed, and filled with applause, don’t you think? Hobbes: I think my life is too featherbrained already. Calvin: Of course, if life was really like that, what would we watch on tv?.
