Undefeated
I want to tell a story of how kids from different backgrounds and cultures came together in the summer of 1970, and grew during that fall to produce an 8-0 undefeated football season. This book is a journal of my own personal experiences with that team. These memories, along with personal accounts, recollections, periodical reports are recalled in this memoir. Also included are anecdotes that I gathered from players, cheerleaders, teachers, coaches and sports writers. While compiling information to glorify the achievements of that great team, I discovered that WNA had a tradition of assembling undefeated football teams that dates back to 1933, and were known for their tenacious football styl...
Don't Be So Gay!
Recent cases of teen suicide linked with homophobic bullying have thrust the issue of school safety into the national spotlight. In “Don’t Be So Gay!” Queers, Bullying, and Making Schools Safe, Donn Short considers the effectiveness of safe-school legislation. Drawing on interviews with queer youth and their allies in the Toronto area, Short concludes that current legislation is more responsive than proactive. Moreover, cultural influences and peer pressure may be more powerful than legislation in shaping the school environment. Exploring how students’ own experiences, ideas, and definitions of safety might be translated into policy reform, this book offers a fresh perspective on a hotly debated issue.
Shadows In The Sunset - Three Novellas
“Shadows in the Sunset” consists of three novellas, the first being the story that gives the book its title, a story of a Summer lost and never forgotten. It follows a group of youths adventuring through the terrain of Big Sur. Moments are made and the truth of everything is felt through each person’s expression. The second novella is “Underland (The Lost Children),” which follows the simple story of James and Summer, two “fools” just visiting the country fair. Lastly, “A House with No Progression,” which is about an artist named Ray and his girlfriend, Annabel Lee. They live together in isolation and have formed their own world within those walls. We begin to see signs of malice and realize that distinguishing reality from fiction is a difficult process for the artist.
