Bernice Bobs Her Hair and Other Stories
Author: F. Scott Fitzgerald
Publisher: Courier Dover Publications
ISBN: 0486836002
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 195
Book Description
"It was an age of miracles," declared F. Scott Fitzgerald of the 1920s, "it was an age of art, it was an age of excess, and it was an age of satire." No author is more closely associated with the decade than Fitzgerald, who christened it the "Jazz Age" and chronicled its manners and morals. His lyrical, witty fables of society life reveal the disillusionment and cynicism behind the Roaring Twenties' glamorous façade. Six of Fitzgerald's best-loved stories appear here, starting with the title tale, in which a hostess regrets her success at transforming a visiting cousin from wallflower to coquette. Other selections include "The Diamond as Big as the Ritz," a glittering fantasy about the corrupting power of wealth; "The Ice Palace," a quasibiographical story of a restless Southern belle; "The Offshore Pirate"; "The Jelly Bean"; and "May Day." Each considers timeless themes—love, money, power, the search for happiness — that keep them enduringly relevant.

Book Description
Staff members at Diane D's family's organization are standing in the hallway talking. They find out that Diane D is let out of the mental institution temporary. They find out that she is in her family’s custody and is back at the organization. It is causing fear around the organization making everyone feel very uncomfortable and afraid knowing Diane D’s presence is there at the organization. Several children in the hallway approach the staff members! They claim to have seen Diane D sitting in a chair inside her grandmother Margarita’s office angrily looking out the doorway at them as they passed by Margarita’s office doorway. Staff members start to wonder could it be the evil, vicious, powerful and dangerous other personality of Diane D’s sitting there in the chair inside Margarita’s office angrily looking at the children. The children also claim to have seen something black strapped around both of Diane D’s ankles. Days later, a young man is very angry and upset about the murder of his father who was one of the police officers killed by Diane D’s other personality. He angrily plots revenge against Diane D as he creeps up the back stairwell of the organization with a gun. Suddenly Diane D appears out of nowhere and comes face to face with the man! The man then claims that Diane D is stalking him! He claims to have nightmares about her coming after him! Family members of the victims Diane D's other personality has killed are at a local hotel sitting inside a large conference room listening to a speech Diane D is making to them as she stands in front of the room at a podium. She apologizes to them for her shocking crime she did to their loved ones the year prior which she still claims not to remember doing! Another young man whose father was one of the swat team members killed by Diane D’s other personality becomes very angry with Diane D. He stands up from his seat and hollers, screams and swears at her accusing her of harming, tearing up and bringing pain and suffering to his family. Diane D apologizes to the man but the man angrily heads towards her continuing to holler, scream and swear at her. Diane D hollers back at the man and warns him not to come near her! The man ignores Diane D’s warning and heads straight to her! He then lunges at Diane D! Diane D uses her martial arts skills and immediately goes into defense mode! Things do not go well for the man. People around the community start to protest calling for Diane D’s deportation! Diane D’s family take her back to see Dr. Stone again. They tell Dr. Stone that this evil, vicious other personality of Diane D’s is ruining her life causing everyone to be afraid of her and causing her to be locked away and maybe deported that they want him to get rid of this evil, vicious personality once and for all! Dr. Stone tells Diane D’s family that the only way to try and get rid of her other personality again is for Diane D to be hypnotized again, but this time, Diane D will have to be locked inside a bolted room where she or her other personality can’t escape, just in case her other personality comes out to the surface and becomes dangerous and vicious and winds up killing again! Dr. Stone tells six young female nurse interns in the hospital hallway to go in the examining room and lift Diane D from the hospital bed to the examining table. The nurses tell Dr. Stone that they fear Diane D and do not want to deal with her. Dr. Stone demands the nurses to transfer Diane D anyway. Later, two of the nurses get injured by Diane D then flee the examining room! Later, the four remaining nurses secretly witness Diane D do something so strange inside the examining room. They scream in fear and flee out the examining room! Later on, Dr. Stone has Diane D under hypnosis as she lays face up on a psychiatrist couch with her eyes closed and hands and wrists chained to the sides of the psychiatrist couch. Dr. Stone then speaks to Diane D’s subconscious again. After a while, Diane D’s other personality comes out to the surface again! Dr. Stone speaks to Diane D’s other personality as her other personality speaks back to him. He then tells Diane D’s other personality to leave Diane D alone and not to bother Diane D’s soul, spirit or physical body anymore. The other personality or evil, vicious entity refuses to leave Diane D’s soul, spirit and physical body alone. Dr. Stone then gives the other personality or evil, vicious entity an ultimatum. The other personality or evil, vicious entity becomes angry! It then threatens Dr. Stone! It starts to become violent and tries to break loose from the chains wrapped around Diane D’s hands and wrists! Dr. Stone yells at the other personality or evil, vicious entity and tells the other personality or evil, vicious entity that even if it succeeds in breaking loose from the chains, it won’t be able to break loose out of the room because the room and door are bolted shut and it can’t escape! The other personality or evil, vicious entity then calms a little. It stops trying to break loose from the chains wrapped around Diane D’s hands and wrists and agrees to leave from inside Diane D’s physical body. It then threatens to go after Dana’s physical body and enter into her physical body to do harm and cause chaos! Dr. Stone, Margarita, Tomas and the rest of Diane D’s family become shocked and horrified hearing this! They suddenly see Diane D’s physical body become calm and stop moving as Diane D lays there motionless with her eyes still shut. Dr. Stone, Margarita, Tomas and the rest of Diane D’s family become more shocked and horrified as the entity appears to have left Diane D’s physical body and realized that the entity is now probably on its way to enter into Dana’s physical body! They hurry to leave the hospital room as other family members stay to watch Diane D’s physical body. Dr. Stone, Margarita, Tomas and some of Diane D’s family quickly leave the hospital desperate to find Dana before it’s too late, fearing that the entity will use her physical body to kill and cause chaos just like it used Diane D’s physical body to kill and cause chaos!

Filled with anxiety, Kelly tried to explain her frightening dreams. Something was very wrong! But, with luck, there was still time to change the plot! Then there was Adam, who appeared strong and stable on the outside, but his insides had been messed up five years ago. Finding the letter that his mother hid from him turned Adam's world upside down! It proved that his sisters were only half-sisters, and he had more siblings in Alberta - children sired by his father, and another woman. For the past five years Adam lived with this knowledge, biding his time until he finished school so he could go forth as a man, and fulfill his need to meet his 'other family'. Now that he was eighteen, there was nothing to stop him from finding the truth! He couldn't wait to reveal his identity and to make a decision about which family he would choose! Following in his mother's footsteps, Adam chose to fabricate lies to keep his mom from interfering with his decision, and he headed west, alone! But what he found there was enough to set his world spinning! Nothing was as easy as it looked!

Incompatible with God's Design
Author: Mary Jeremy Daigler
Publisher: Scarecrow Press
ISBN: 0810884798
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 217
Book Description
Incompatible with God's Design is the first comprehensive history of the Roman Catholic women's ordination movement in the United States. Mary Jeremy Daigler explores how the focus on ordination, and not merely "increased participation" in the life and ministries of the church, has come to describe a broad movement. Moving well beyond the role of such organizations as the Women's Ordination Conference, this study also addresses the role of international and local groups. In an effort to debunk a number of misperceptions about the movement, from its date of origin to its demographic profile, Daigler explores a vast array of topics. Starting with the movement's historical background from the early American period through the early twentieth century to Vatican II and afterward, she considers the role of women (especially Catholicism's more religious adherents) in the movement's evolution, the organization of the ordination movement in the United States, the role and response of clergy and Vatican teachings, the reality of international influences on the U.S. movement, and the full range of challenges--past and present--to the ordination movement. Incompatible with God's Design is compelling reading for any student of theology and women's studies, as well as those interested in staying abreast with the changing role of women within the U.S. Roman Catholic Church.

Shirley Jackson
Author: Bernice M. Murphy
Publisher: McFarland
ISBN: 0786423129
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 305
Book Description
Shirley Jackson was one of America's most prominent female writers of the 1950s. Between 1948 and 1965 she published six novels, one best-selling story collection, two popular volumes of her family chronicles and many stories, which ranged from fairly conventional tales for the women's magazine market to the ambiguous, allusive, delicately sinister and more obviously literary stories that were closest to Jackson's heart and destined to end up in the more highbrow end of the market. Most critical discussions of Jackson tend to focus on "The Lottery" and The Haunting of Hill House. An author of such accomplishment--and one so fully engaged with the pressures and preoccupations of postwar America--merits fuller discussion. To that end, this collection of essays widens the scope of Jackson scholarship with new writing on such works as The Road through the Wall and We Have Always Lived in the Castle, and topics ranging from Jackson's domestic fiction to ethics, cosmology, and eschatology. The book also makes newly available some of the most significant Jackson scholarship published in the last two decades.
