Book Description
The Adventures of Waiterman: Lord of the Restaurant Jungle is a satirical work of non-fiction; part expose, part autobiography, which is salted with social commentary and occasional vitriolic rantings. It is an odyssey of growth, development, adventure and debauchery. Note from the Author: What's astounding to me is the utter lack of material, either written or filmed, depicting the restaurant industry in all its debauchery riddled glory. I mean this is an area absolutely rich for fodder, which could be appreciated by even the most solitary of hermits who have never worked or eaten in any type of eating establishment whatsoever. Therefore, my aim is to entertain by eliciting unbridled guffaws, but also to educate the naive masses about the bizarre world known as the restaurant jungle.

Arthur Miller's Death of a Salesman

Publisher: BRILL
ISBN: 9401206236
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 201
Book Description
Arthur Miller’s Death of a Salesman, the third volume in the Dialogue series, covers six major and controversial topics dealing with Miller’s classic play. The topics include feminism and the role of women in the drama, the American Dream, business and capitalism, the significance of technology, the legacy that Willy leaves to Biff, and Miller’s use of symbolism. The authors of the essays include prominent Arthur Miller scholars such as Terry Otten and the late Steven Centola as well as young, emerging scholars. Some of the essays, particularly the ones written by the emerging scholars, tend to employ literary theory while the ones by the established scholars tend to illustrate the strengths of traditional criticism by interpreting the text closely. It is fascinating to see how scholars at different stages of their academic careers approach a given topic from distinct perspectives and sometimes diverse methodologies. The essays offer insightful and provocative readings of Death of a Salesman in a collection that will prove quite useful to scholars and students of Miller’s most famous play.

Two Years Before the What?
Author: Wilfred Gordon
Publisher: Author House
ISBN: 1456791869
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 254
Book Description
Two Years Before the What? is the historically unique and epic story of a young sailor serving out his compulsory National Service by completing a voyage from Port Edgar in Scotland to Singapore on the last coal burning ship of the Royal Navy. The voyage took exactly six months with an average steaming speed of eight knots, each knot bought at the cost of the grinding labour of shoveling coal into roaring furnaces, raking out and pulling hot ashes, lifting them to the upper deck and pouring them over the side in to the sea. The ship, forced to go around the Cape of Good Hope, the southern most tip of Africa, by the action of Egypt's Colonel Nasser closing the Suez Canal during the British-French and Egyptian War; the route to Singapore was the longest possible. The story, set against a background of the closing days of the British Empire, continues with the fight against Communist Terrorists in the jungles of Malaya and then on to the turmoil of thwarting smugglers and pirates in the China Sea. The story is fact. Mostly hilariously funny. Sometimes frightening. Always alive.

The Language of Interpretation
Author: James Dennis Marshall
Publisher: National Council of Teachers of English (Ncte)
ISBN:
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 172
Book Description
Drawing on interviews and on the actual language that readers (students, teachers, and adults) use to interpret and respond to literary texts, this book examines the conventions that shape talk about literature in large groups, small groups, and adult book clubs. By looking across contexts, the four separate but related studies in the book raise questions about the usual ways of talking and thinking about literature and suggest alternatives based on new theories of literary understanding. After an introduction, sections of the book are entitled: (1) A Description of the Project; (2) Studies of Large-Group Discussions of Literature; (3) Small-Group Discussions: Alternatives to and Extensions of Teacher-Led Discussions; (4) Adult Book-Club Discussions: Toward an Understanding of the Culture of Practice; (5) Reading and Talking Together: Responses of Adolescents to Two Short Stories; and (6) Summary and Conclusions. Contains 92 references. An appendix provides excerpts that illustrate the application of the coding system. (RS).
