Miss Pretty Please
Miss Pretty Please By: P. E. Fischetti While celebrating her fifteenth birthday, Annie Finelli, a girl ahead of her age in smarts, talent, and maturity, again meets Russell Santucci, mid-twenties, talented pianist already amidst a mid-life crisis, and the attraction is near instantaneous. After just two short conversations, love blossoms—but can it be true, with such a startling age difference between them? Learning to trust their feelings are only half the battle; good thing they have supportive families. Miss Pretty Please is the last novel of a trilogy involving the Finellis and the Santuccis in upper class, suburban Maryland. Each of the books involves a story of athletic greatness and emotional growth within two supportive but unusually connected families.
Cave-in
Deadly accidents plague Swastica Mine at the tiny coal camp of Brilliant, New Mexico. But until young pit boss Manuel Torres decides to organize the men and fight for something better, no one has asked the obvious question: Why? Only after Manuel endures a grizzly escape from deep underground do the frightened miners agree to listen to him again. But even as he tries to build momentum for a union, Superintendent Alex Russell makes his final move to bury the secrets of Swastica Mine forever. Can Manuel stop him in time to rescue his town?
A Place Within
When twelve-year-old Patrick Newman woke up in the morning, he knew he would be Somebody; as to the how and when, that had yet to be determined. Perhaps it would be his overactive imagination making it so. It certainly did not hurt him later when he turned his dog and lawn mower into those pesky Buckeye opponents. And it most certainly did not hurt him when his fellow Wolverine teammates defeated the red-shirted Ohioans on his backyard's newly mowed field. Patrick has athletic abilities, likes to read, and dreams. Often humorous, his dreams give him a reprieve from an alcoholic father, a bully, and his loss of self-esteem. With unwavering determination, an iron will, and the help of his best friend, Patrick overcomes his adversaries, turns it into a race, and wins, earning his place on life's Olympic platform.
Projecting Politics
This fascinating work examines in detail the relationship between American politics and films, from Birth of a Nation to Fahrenheit 9/11. It provides a decade-by-decade survey of politics and films of all types - comedies and dramas to biographies and documentaries - as well as a helpful framework that students and general readers can use to analyze the political content of films. The book also features an examination of film techniques as they relate to political films, an exploration of the effects of real-world politics on Hollywood, and a practical guide to writing film analysis, as well as a guide to web-based film resources and an extensive "Political Filmography." Throughout the book, the authors emphasize both the political messages transmitted through films and the political values that are reflected in them.
