The Tunnel at the End of the Light: Essays on Movies and Politics by Jim Shepard Pdf

"Shepard may be the best lesser-known film critic." —The New York Times Book Review The first book of nonfiction from one of our great fiction writers. Given that most Americans proudly consider themselves non-political, where do our notions of collective responsibility come from? Which self-deceptions, when considering ourselves as actors on the world stage, do we cling to most tenaciously? Why do we so stubbornly believe, for example, that our country always means well when intervening abroad? The Tunnel at the End of the Light argues that some of our most persistent and destructive assumptions, in that regard, might come from the movies. In these ten essays Jim Shepard weaves close readings of film with cultural criticism to explore the ways in which movies work so ubiquitously to reflect how Americans think and act. Whether assessing the “high-spirited glee of American ruthlessness” captured in GoodFellas, or finding in Lawrence of Arabia a “portrait of the lunatic serenity of our leaders’ conviction in the face of all evidence and their own lack of knowledge,” he explores how we enter into conversations with specific genres and films—Chinatown, The Third Man, and Badlands among others—in order to construct and refine our most cherished illusions about ourselves.

The Darkness at the End of the Tunnel by Sharam Rainfall Pdf

The Darkness At The End Of The Tunnel... is a book that was born out of pain and is dedicated to all those who have tasted loneliness. To those who saw the darkness and the light within the darkness....To those life has passed by and left behind. To the lonely stranger who walks in a rainy town. To the woman who sits by the window for days, anticipating the return of her love. To the man who saw his beloved in the arms of another and remained silent. To those who were misunderstood and found themselves on a lonely island amongst the crowd...To those who sat long nights in a cold, dark room and didn't have a single soul in the whole world. To those who embraced themselves at nightfall, with cold sheets, wrapped in silence. To those hearts in which the candle of love still flickers. To all those, “The Darkness” is the light of all dreams, the longing, the desire and the yearning. Because only through the greatest loneliness, suffering, pain, and absence, only through the deepest valley and the darkest darkness, can you arrive at the footsteps of the greatest love of all...

At the End of the Tunnel, There Is Life by Carla Y. Nixon-Haynes Pdf

In this book, you will find words from my heart and soul. You will read about the trials and tribulations that not only hindered and set me back, but caused me a great deal of depression. You will come to know all about God’s amazing grace, and how He used some very difficult times to bring about a significant change within me. After having a pessimistic attitude for many years, I finally came to the conclusion that God created me; therefore, He must understand me. I started praying, and talking to God about issues that I did not feel comfortable talking to anyone else about. This book of inspirational poetry is comprised of my authentic conversations with God. Through my poetry, I was set free to be my own unique self. Throughout my journey and in the midst of trials therein, I have learned to appreciate precious things that I once took for granted such as life, health, and family. God has affirmed that He is in control of my life and has a great plan for me. I do not know the complete depth or details of that plan, but what I do know is God wants me to share my life experiences. I want everyone to know there is life after heartaches and pain. There Is Life At The End of The Tunnel. Hopefully, this book will serve as a token of God’s love and encouragement that helps everyone realize, “you do not have to be a victim or prisoner of your past. You do not have to be held captive by the trials and tribulations in life. You have the ability to turn your pain into power rather than allowing it to control you. You have a choice.” Therefore, choose to be a victor and not a victim. I pray that the presence of God is felt while reading this book, He speaks directly to your heart, and inspire you to believe you deserve to live a great life on purpose, in spite of your flaws, and the mistakes that you have made. You deserve the best of everything that life has to offer. Believe it, receive it, and do not settle for anything less. You are not alone. Sincerely, Carla Y. Nixon-Haynes

Life At The End Of The Tunnel by Christina Black Pdf

On her wedding night, it wasn't the diamonds in her new ring that Christina remembers counting, but the bruises on her body. Some girls get swept off their feet, she got knocked off hers. What happened next, she's always tried to block out! John was just the first, and the only one she was foolish enough to marry, but what choice did she have? She'd only gone to the party to please her sister, whose twice-divorced neighbour had invited her. Naïve to a fault, she didn't even know you could spike a drink. Two years, two kids, and a thousand nightmares later, a sympathetic judge brought an end to all the traumas. It wasn't like this in the knights' tales she'd escaped to as a child. Or was it? Guinevere's ardour for Lancelot seemed less romantic when you consider their affair led to the downfall of a kingdom. The Lady of Shallot knew love only through a mirror's reflection and died in pursuit of it. Was Christina to suffer the same fate? Or would the spirits of those who existed between this life and the next keep her from making any more calamitous decisions?
