Lash
Author: Alvin Easter
Publisher: Xlibris Corporation
ISBN: 9781469100265
Category : Performing Arts
Languages : en
Pages : 308
Book Description
“All hands on deck to witness punishment!” Although whippings of men have been a commonly-depicted punishment in the movies ever since the days of the nickelodeon, no book -- until now -- has attempted to document this vital aspect of screen-sadism. By describing and then discussing the movie’s hundred great male-whipping scenes, (ranging from 1932’s Mask of Fu Manchu to 2004’s Passion of the Christ and featuring such famous actors as Burt Lancaster, Alan Ladd, Elvis Presley, and John Wayne), Lash! tries to fill this void with wit, perception, and authority.

Book Description
As an older foster child, Andrew longed for the day when hed be adopted by a real family because they loved him and wanted him to be part of their family unit. Until that day dawned, like many other foster kids, he lived with the stigma that he was kept by his foster parents to generate income for them. Of late, bad had gone to worse for 13 year old Andrew. He was being sexually abused by Blanche, his new single foster mom. Blanche had been abandoned by her husband and despised men. Although she used Andrew for her own depraved needs, she treated him poorly. To add to his pain, news of this sexual relationship leaked out to his peers at school and he was now enduring verbal torment at recesses and noon hour. Andrew couldnt bear the pain any longer when the only friend whod stuck up for him at school turned against him. He felt totally alone, so unloved. Dear God, I have nothing left to live for, he sobbed one night when his foster mom left for a party. Please forgive me for what I have to do, but Im hurting so much. Andrew headed to his foster mothers shed to get the rope. With the rope coiled up under his coat, he headed to the big black poplar tree in the Kinsman Park. Twelve feet off the ground was a large branch at right angles to the trunk. Andrew quickly fashioned a hangmans noose and shinnied up the tree. Bracing himself with his legs he slipped the noose over his head and tied the other end of the rope to the branch. Grasping the branch, he let himself down. As he hung there by his fingertips, his short life passed before him.......
