Hushabye by Al Contrera Pdf

An original founding member of the Mystics, author Al Contrera tells the true story of how five Brooklyn teenagers went from singing on street corners to fame in the fifties with their first hit song, “Hushabye.” Contrera, provides vivid and detailed accounts of the trials and adventures of forming a rock-‘n’-roll group in a neighborhood controlled by the mob. He narrates the story of the group’s formation, their recording and touring career, as well as their successes and heartbreaks, including the story of when the Mystics’ lead singer was arrested for being an innocent witness to a holdup and accidental shooting by a neighborhood gang and was mistakenly jailed for two years. Hushabye tells about walking the fine line between the music and the mob and how peer pressure and the temptations of fame changed their lives. Contrera offers keen insight and background into the sweet sound of the street corner doo-wop harmonies of the 1950s.

Hush-a-Bye by Jody Lee Mott Pdf

* "Mott’s deft prose and well-written characters will keep readers engaged from start to frightening finish. This is the perfect read for people who love the chill of terror running down their backs." —School Library Journal (starred review) A delightfully creepy story perfect for the middle school set! Hush-a-Bye is an old, broken doll found by Lucy and her sister in the woods. It seems to possess extraordinary powers, but will it use them for good or evil? Like most kids with younger siblings, Lucy loves her sister Antonia, but is all too frequently annoyed with her as well. The two spend most of their time together since their mother works so hard, but without friends Lucy can't help but feel lonely anyway. She's always tried to ignore the bullying and teasing at school about her family being poor--it's always best to keep her head down and do nothing. When the girls find an old, muddy doll head in the river, Antonia claims it as her newest treasure. At night Lucy hears her talking to Hush-a-Bye--and does she hear the doll talking back? Soon, Hush-a-Bye seems to be protecting Antonia by making bad things happen to others, and it isn't long before Lucy asks for its help against her tormentors, too. Slowly Hush-a-Bye's influence forms a wedge between the sisters, and Antonia's dependence on it becomes frightening. The doll has a mind of its own, and soon it will have Antonia's as well. Can Lucy solve the mystery of Hush-a-Bye to stop its evil plans?

Heartbreak House by George Bernard Shaw Pdf

"Heartbreak House" by George Bernard Shaw is a witty and incisive comedy that serves as a scathing critique of the British upper class and their complacency in the face of impending disaster. Set on the eve of World War I, the play takes place in the eccentric household of Captain Shotover, a retired seafarer whose home serves as a microcosm of British society. As various guests gather at Heartbreak House, they reveal themselves to be shallow, self-absorbed, and disconnected from the realities of the world around them. Through sharp dialogue and biting satire, Shaw exposes the moral bankruptcy of the ruling class and the folly of their pursuit of pleasure and material wealth. At its core, "Heartbreak House" is a cautionary tale about the consequences of moral apathy and political indifference. Shaw uses the characters and setting of the play to explore themes of power, corruption, and the decline of Western civilization, offering a searing indictment of the social and political forces that led to the cataclysm of World War I.
