The Prophet and the Maniac
This is Charles James Ellis II, but, you can call me Jay. The book I have written is a collection of writings that cover a period of ten years. In January of 1998 I had a spiritual experience that some would define as being born again, but, along with this experience I was also diagnosed with a mental illness known as Bipolar Disorder. What I thought was from God was challenged by the idea that everything that was happening to me, the voice, the visions, the revelations, was the result of a brain malfunction and therefore, a delusion.At present, I have been on medicine for my disorder for over three years consistently and I no longer hear the voice or have visions and revelations to the same...
Raised Up Down Yonder
Raised Up Down Yonder attempts to shift focus away from why black youth are "problematic" to explore what their daily lives actually entail. Howell travels to the small community of Hamilton, Alabama, to investigate what it is like for a young black person to grow up in the contemporary rural South. What she finds is that the young people of Hamilton are neither idly passing their time in a stereotypically languid setting, nor are they being corrupted by hip hop culture and the perils of the urban North, as many pundits suggest. Rather, they are dynamic and diverse young people making their way through the structures that define the twenty-first-century South. Told through the poignant stori...
Summary of Joseph J. Ellis's Founding Brothers
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The most concise version of the story might go like this: On the morning of July 11, 1804, Aaron Burr and Alexander Hamilton were rowed across the Hudson River in separate boats to a secluded spot near Weehawken, New Jersey. There, in accord with the customs of the code duello, they exchanged pistol shots at ten paces. Hamilton was struck on his right side and died the following day. #2 Hamilton and Burr were both boarding small boats to cross the Hudson River, and they were to meet at Weehawken. They were polar opposites in terms of appearance and behavior, and their genealogies created temperamental and stylistic contrasts. #3 The duel was held on a narrow ledge at Weehawken, just above the water. Hamilton had chosen the weapons, a pair of highly decorated pistols owned by his wealthy brother-in-law, John Church. #4 The duel was set up so that both men were armed with extremely powerful but extremely inaccurate weapons. If struck in a vital spot by the oversized ball, the chances of a serious or mortal injury were high.
Summary of Joseph J. Ellis's The Cause
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The American Revolution was a highly compressed historical moment that resulted in the independence of the United States. The British called it the American rebellion, an accurate description of the eight-year war fought by former British colonists who sought to secede from the British Empire. #2 The American side of the story requires a different kind of movement from the top to the bottom of the social scale to grasp the reasons the American resistance was so intractable. The British side of the story requires several trips across the Atlantic to understand the reasons why the government made the big...
No Place for Home
This book was written to venture beyond interpretations of Cormac McCarthy's characters as simple, antinomian, and non-psychological; and of his landscapes as unrelated to the violent arcs of often orphaned and always emotionally isolated and socially detached characters. As McCarthy usually eschews direct indications of psychology, his landscapes allow us to infer much about their motivations. The relationship of ambivalent nostalgia for domesticity to McCarthy's descriptions of space remains relatively unexamined at book length, and through less theoretical application than close reading. By including McCarthy's latest book, this study offer the only complete study of all nine novels. Within McCarthy studies, this book extends and complicates a growing interest in space and domesticity in his work. The author combines a high regard for McCarthy's stylistic prowess with a provocative reading of how his own psychological habits around gender issues and family relations power books that only appear to be stories of masculine heroics, expressions of misogynistic fear, or antinomian rejections of civilized life.
Summary of Joseph J. Ellis's His Excellency
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 George Washington was a young messenger sent on a dangerous mission into the American wilderness in 1753. He carried a letter from the governor of Virginia to the commander of French troops in the Ohio Country. He was ordered to lead a small party over the Blue Ridge Mountains, then across the Allegheny Mountains, and deliver his message in the Name of His Britanic Majesty. #2 When Washington visited the French commanders at Fort Le Boeuf and Presque Isle, he was told that the French king had a better claim to the Ohio Country than the English king. The French commander at Fort Le Boeuf, Jacques Le Gar...
Summary of Joseph J. Ellis's American Dialogue
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 Jefferson was the most eloquent advocate of freedom, but he was also the most dedicated racist. In his mind, those two convictions were inseparable. #2 Making, making. ->le Hele le le ->le ->lle ->e making making making e le e le e e e e e ->e. ->e. ->. making. e. #3 The first glimpse of a distinctively different attitude toward slavery occurred during Jefferson’s first term in the Virginia House of Burgesses in 1769. He had intended to propose a bill that would make it easier to free slaves, but he was buried under an avalanche of invective from which his political career never recovered. #4 The next chapter in this story played out in the early summer of 1776, and culminated with the debate in the Continental Congress over the language of the Declaration of Independence.
