You Can't Live Off Love
Author: Kevin Bland, Sr.
Publisher: Xlibris Corporation
ISBN: 1441576118
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 75
Book Description
This book has a lot to offer the readers because it has a collection of poetry that is, I must say, second to none (I’ve been accepted into the poetry hall of fame), poetry that has a real meaning that will also take your mind to another level, yet a small collection of poetry that talks about so much. And if that’s not enough (need I go on?), most of my poems are just six lines, short and sweet. In fact, I truly believe that I have a poem that everybody can relate to, so what I’ve done to prove that is I’ve written an index of poems so you can browse through, just to see what this collection has to offer. Once again, though it’s a small collection (very few books of poetry offer that), but just as well, it will be good knowing what the poetry is talking about. I also wanted everyone to see how much variety it has to offer to the index. It can guide you if you’re looking for a certain type of poem, or if you just want to look and see what type of poems are there and what they’re talking about. Now I can’t tell you the thrills I get from reading some of these poems, so read them for yourself and let your mind explore. But now wait, I wanted to go a step farther, so I also wrote two short stories. The first one, I would say that it’s a heartfelt story that I’m sure you can relate to, and the second story is a mystery—full of glare, excitement and color, entertainment profound.

The American West on Film
Author: Johnny D. Boggs
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing USA
ISBN: 1440866775
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 270
Book Description
More than a history of Western movies, The American West on Film intertwines film history, the history of the American West, and American social history into one unique volume. The American West on Film chronicles 12 Hollywood motion pictures that are set in the post–Civil War American West, including The Ox-Bow Incident, Red River, High Noon, The Searchers, The Magnificent Seven, Little Big Man, and Tombstone. Each film overview summarizes the movie's plot, details how the film came to be made, the critical and box-office reactions upon its release, and the history of the time period or actual event. This is followed by a comparison and contrast of the filmmakers' version of history with the facts, as well as an analysis of the film's significance, then and now. Relying on contemporary accounts and historical analysis as well as perspectives from filmmakers, historians, and critics, the author describes what it took to get each movie made and how close to the historical truth the movie actually got. Readers will come away with a better understanding of how movies often reflect the time in which they were made, and how Westerns can offer provocative social commentary hidden beneath old-fashioned "shoot-em-ups."
