Book Description
This reproducible activities kit emphasises academic reading, writing and discussion skills. The target audience for these materials is adult or young-adult students in high school, college, or college/university entrance courses. It has been devised to give students the chance to think, talk and write about real life topics. The book is structured in three units, each individual unit has four jigsaw parts, which are used first for reading and discussion and then, when they are thoroughly familiar to students, as examples for analysis and imitation in the process of improving writing skills. The book concentrates on realistic writing, not just exercises. There are drills and practice on specific language points, but only in preparation for much freer writing activities. The main thing is for students to develop their own arguments about subjects that matter. Includes an extensive Teacher's Notes on how to exploit the materials.
Jigsaw
Author: Sybille Bedford
Publisher: New York Review of Books
ISBN: 168137191X
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 353
Book Description
Shortlisted for the Booker Prize, Bedford's autobiographical novel paints a vivid picture of life in 1920s Europe between the wars. Sybille Bedford placed the ambiguous and inescapable stuff of her own life at the center of her fiction, and in Jigsaw—her fourth and final novel, which was shortlisted for the 1989 Booker Prize—she did it with particular artistry. “What I had in mind,” she was later to say, “was to build a novel out of the events and people who had made up, and marked, my early youth...Truth here was an artistic, not moral, requirement...It involved...writing about myself, my feelings, my actions.” And so she assembled the puzzle pieces of her singular past into a picture of her “unsentimental education.” We learn of a childhood spent alone with her father, “a stranded man of the world” living a life of “ungenteel poverty in quite grand surroundings,” a château, that is, deep in the German countryside, with wine but little else for him and his young daughter to hold body and soul together. We learn of her return to Italy and her mother, “the one character I wished to keep minor and knew all along that it could not be done,” and the dark secret consuming her mother’s life. Finally, she tells us how she lived with and learned from Aldous and Maria Huxley on the French Riviera, developing the sense of purpose and determination that made her the great writer she would become.

To See the Saw Movies
Author: James Aston
Publisher: McFarland
ISBN: 1476603804
Category : Performing Arts
Languages : en
Pages : 207
Book Description
The Saw films, often derided by critics as "torture porn" and an excuse to show blood and gore, are the highest-grossing horror series in cinema history. In view of their hold on audiences and their controversial content, they deserve study. This first collection of fresh essays by academic authors from Europe, America and Australia addresses the cultural, religious and philosophical facets of the films, investigating how the franchise reflects a post-9/11 shift in U.S. popular culture towards increasing pessimism and how it may be read as a metaphor for the "war on terror"; dissecting how the series explores such issues as freewill and determinism; assessing the films' representations of the body; and applying a Deleuzian perspective to the franchise.
