Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Nam Cao

i think this book is better served by a new historical reading rather than the new critical reading it's typically given...by high school english teachers...like me.

BA TRIEU'S 21ST CENTURY DAUGHTERS (Bản tiếng Anh) Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Irene Ohler

The breaking of many conventions of writing can quickly become passé and merely distracting. Others cause the uninitiated reader a healthy dose of frustration. When you have to read a work like The Sound & the Fury for a class, the frustration may not easily be overcome: Faulkner narrates the story of a family in turn-of-the-century northern Mississippi (or "Missippi," as many, including the state's current governor, call it) through the eyes of its sons and its female house servant. Said difficulties surface on the first page, since Faulkner tells the first section of the story with the thoughts (thankfully not the thoughts others hear) of the grown, but mentally retarded Benjy. The first line, "through the curled flower spaces I could see them hitting," provides a foil to American Literature's more famous first line, "call me Ishmael." [Book: Moby Dick]'s first line, if you stop there for a moment, conjures up a lot of description without saying it, in simple language. The childlike Benjy, paradoxically, provides very little in very difficult language. But it's all for a reason. The more the reader works at slogging through the language until she can "get it," the more rewarding this, as with most of Faulkner's work, becomes. The second section provides a change, though no relief, in language, tone, and themes. While Benjy's section displays displaced innocence, Quentin's displays the innocence of his life that he rejects for the more mature brokenness that comes with experience in knowledge. In either case, both characters prove unable to cope. Oh, yeah, and the narrative is not temporally linear either. So why in the world would I love this book like I do? Well, I was born in Missippi and my family hails from there, so Faulkner's imagery of the natural really sticks with me. As stated before, the confusing language actually results in increased clarity as to what's happening the characters' minds. As the text reveals, surprisingly little actually occurs in the book that would sustain most readers' attention. But several events are referenced many times and color the characters'/narrators' view of the world they live in, in a way that lends this events otherwise rendered prosaic in a traditional narrative ("his sister Candace slept with the big university boy she had met. Quentin was so mad" - doesn't quite have the same effect....). We all blow things out of proportion and perceive events and people as occurring or living in a world that doesn't exist. Here's what you get when an author puts that phenomenon into print.

Enchanting Bangkok (Enchanting Asia) Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Mick Shippen

Road to success is not exceptional or mysterious. It's grounded in a web of advantages and inheritance,the products of history n community, opportunity and legacy. Some deserved, some not, some earned, some just plain lucky.

Không Lạ Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Doãn Dũng

I found this book by accident, while searching for something else. Because I was intrigued by the title and the fact that it's written by a doctor, I decided to download it to my Kindle. I just finished a couple evenings of delightful reading, and highly recommend the book. Each chapter is prefaced by an easily digestible passage from scripture, which forms the theme for the real-life stories that follow. This author doesn't inundate the reader with technical language, and writes with great compassion about all types of patients. Despite his obviously kind heart and keen skills, we see that he is definitely no pushover when it comes to dealing with 'patients' who attempt to abuse the ER system (something that had never occurred to me prior to this reading). This book made me think about the children who suffer (and die) at the hands of irresponsible parenting, the lonely and ostracized folks who don't seem to have anywhere else to go, and the greatness of the people who dedicate their lives to the healing arts (psychological, physical, and spiritual). The book ends with one of the most moving accounts I've ever seen, about another doctor, who unfailingly and selflessly administers to a large/adoring clientele. Overall, it's the kind of content that makes me want to be a better person myself.

Dấu Ấn 12 Con Giáp - Thân (Cái Tôi Dễ Chịu) Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Asbooks biên soạn

Haven't read this book in almost 40 years. I thought it wonderful then and wonderful now, but now read it with a different perspective and see more of its flaws. I think it is overly long, and an editor could have had a firmer hand with the material. Having said that, it is remarkably emotional, very honest, painfully so, at times, which makes it wonderful. I was struck by the flower imagery that recurs constantly, a terrific contrast with the rainy, gloomy English landscape and the godawful coal mines. The scenes of domestic violence I related to very strongly 40 years ago, as well as the insane love/hate relationship of the parents. Still seems powerful and real. Paul's attachment to his mother seems creepy to me now, but resonated with me then. His faltering efforts at a relationship seemed as realistic then as now. Didn't like the relationship with Clara, which had a tinge of "Of Human Bondage" to it, and just didn't believe the friendship Paul develops with the cuckolded (by Paul) Baxter Dawes. Most of the characters seemed very real. Reading Lawrence's nostalgia for old, pre-industrial England and the ugly nature of commerce, capitalism, etc., made me wonder what he would make of the de-humanizing nature of today's Information Society where you can have hundreds of Facebook "friends" as still be alone.

Chicken Soup For The Single's Soul - Khi Bạn Chỉ Có Một Mình (Tập 16) Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Nhiều Tác Giả

A good overview, or introduction to the events of WW1, with good maps. Unfortunately Taylors sneering tone is overwheling at points. I am in no way pro-war but I don't think this kind of thing helps-there is no need to put flippant captions to so many of the photographs. Good maps.
