Book Description
Rella and Diamond are two beautiful high school chicks from the hood. They're best friends, and sisters at heart. Between them stands an unbreakable bond, that many will never understand, not to mention secrets that will be taken to the grave. This pair is ratchet and sometimes out of control, but they're definitely not the chicks that anyone would want to come for, because they aren't afraid to get things popping. Although they share the same dream of one day upgrading from the hood, it doesn't stop them from facing the many struggles and challenges that comes along with growing up in the projects. Some of their hardships may push them closer to falling in line with the things that are going on around them, but they continuously push one another to focus, in hopes of becoming successful as one. Beyond the struggles, drama seems to live at their front door, which causes plenty of unfinished business for them both. They're fearless, and the only fear that they hold is, becoming a product of their environment. They're striving to get their hands on the final piece of paper that completes high school, to start a new chapter. Unfortunately, Diamond’s life begins to spiral down hill after the tragic death of her little brother, which she will forever blame herself for. Rella falls for a guy that just might not be in her best interest, but she's willing to take the risk. Several wrong turns are taken from the road that holds the key to their success. Although their lives are heavily impacted by their risky behavior, they're enjoying the ride, as far as it will go. The unexpected happens, and the ride that they once enjoyed ends in devastation, leaving several hearts broken and full of questions.

Hollywood Highbrow
Author: Shyon Baumann
Publisher: Princeton University Press
ISBN: 0691187282
Category : Performing Arts
Languages : en
Pages : 242
Book Description
Today's moviegoers and critics generally consider some Hollywood products--even some blockbusters--to be legitimate works of art. But during the first half century of motion pictures very few Americans would have thought to call an American movie "art." Up through the 1950s, American movies were regarded as a form of popular, even lower-class, entertainment. By the 1960s and 1970s, however, viewers were regularly judging Hollywood films by artistic criteria previously applied only to high art forms. In Hollywood Highbrow, Shyon Baumann for the first time tells how social and cultural forces radically changed the public's perceptions of American movies just as those forces were radically changing the movies themselves. The development in the United States of an appreciation of film as an art was, Baumann shows, the product of large changes in Hollywood and American society as a whole. With the postwar rise of television, American movie audiences shrank dramatically and Hollywood responded by appealing to richer and more educated viewers. Around the same time, European ideas about the director as artist, an easing of censorship, and the development of art-house cinemas, film festivals, and the academic field of film studies encouraged the idea that some American movies--and not just European ones--deserved to be considered art.

Author: Simon Callow
Publisher: Vintage
ISBN: 0345803248
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 318
Book Description
A short biography of Charles Dickens by acclaimed actor and writer Simon Callow that offers a fresh perspective on one of the greatest novelists in the English language in a lively, highly readable account. "It has all the gusto that a popular biography of Dickens—a man who “could do nothing by halves”—should possess. . . . The best biography for Dickens newcomers and a wonderful read for all."—Library Journal Dickens was one of the first true celebrity authors. Thousands of fans in Britain and America eagerly awaited each new installment of his stories and flocked to see him on his legendary speaking tours. Not only did he create an incredible cast of characters on the page, but he was also a dazzling mimic and storyteller, and he wrote, stage-managed, and acted in plays for the public. Throughout his life, from his childhood performances in pubs to his legendarily powerful reading tours, Dickens was fanatical about the stage. Callow reveals Dickens’s genius on and off the page and offers a compelling insight into a life that was driven as much by performance and showmanship as by literature.
