A Kite in the Wind
Author: Andrea Barrett
Publisher: Trinity University Press
ISBN: 1595341072
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 358
Book Description
A Kite in the Wind is an anthology of essays by 20 veteran writers and master teachers. While the contributors offer specific, practical advice on such fundamental aspects of craft as characterization, character names, the first person point of view, and unreliable narrators, they also give extended, thoughtful consideration to more sophisticated topics, including “imminence,” or the power of a sense of beginning; creating and maintaining tension; “lushness”; and the deliberate manipulation of information to create particular effects. The essays in A Kite in the Wind begin as personal investigations — attempts to understand why a decision in a particular story or novel seemed unsuccessful; to define a quality or problem that seemed either unrecognized or unsatisfactorily defined; to understand what, despite years of experience as a fiction writer, resisted comprehension; and to pursue haunting, even unanswerable questions. Unlike a how-to book, the anthology is less an instruction manual than it is an intimate visit with twenty very different writers as they explore topics that excite, intrigue, and even puzzle them. Each discussion uses specific examples and illustrations, including both canonical stories and novels and writing less frequently discussed, from the 19th, 20th, and 21st centuries, by both American and international authors. The contributors share their hard-earned insights for beginning and advanced writers with humility, wit, and compassion. The first section of the book focuses on narration, with particular attention paid to various kinds of narrators; the second, on strategic creation and presentation of character; the third, on some of the roles of the visual, beginning with establishing setting; and the fourth, on structural and organizational issues, from movement through time to the manipulation of information to create mystery and suspense. Contributors include Wilton Barnhardt, Andrea Barrett, Charles Baxter, Karen Brennan, Maud Casey, Lan Samantha Chang, Robert Cohen, Stacey D’Erasmo, Judy Doenges, Anthony Doerr, C. J. Hribal, Michael Martone, Kevin McIlvoy, Alexander Parsons, Frederick Reiken, Steven Schwartz, Dominic Smith, Debra Spark, Megan Staffel, Sarah Stone, and Peter Turchi.

FLUID DYNAMICS PRINCIPLE AND CALCULATION FOR A KITE
Author: WENDA YAO
Publisher: American Academic Press
ISBN: 1631817957
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 321
Book Description
In this book some new concepts were defined, and some new formulas were recommended. The Fluid Dynamics Theory for a kite has been created; the flying principle of a kite has been found and the kite flying stability was analyzed qualitatively. This book gives two calculative methods which can be used as theoretical foundation of designing and producing a kite, and the methods are the analytic one of characteristic curve and the analytic one of limit mass area ratio. This book provides abundant data which help readers to calculate a kite. If the analytic method for limit mass area ratio is applied, readers may only focus on the basic concepts in this book and are not necessary to concentrate on the illation of the formula.
