Three Million Stories by The OMSCWP Pdf

Welcome to the third instalment, book three on the journey to a million stories, but of course it is about more than just the numbers. It is about the creative spirit that has given us the drive to write, the energy to express what we think, feel or desire. This year has been a year of innovation and new ideas at millionstories.net. The 52 Shorts Challenge invited writers to respond to weekly writing prompts. As an experiment it helped some authors achieve some incredible results, with fantastic leaps of the imagination combined with terrific industry. It was devised as a way to coach writers into a regular writing habit over the course of a year. Some of these stories are right here in this collection. Within these pages you will discover commentary on the London riots, the monsoon, living with HIV, celebrity, the perils of invisibility, environmental vandalism, ghosts, monsters and a nice cup of tea.

Stories of the Stranger by Martin Palmer,Gordon Brown Pdf

Encompassing scriptural, historical, folk, and newly commissioned tales, a collection exploring the centrality of the "stranger" in every major faith tradition—a commonality that could create a more compassionate worldEvery faith has, as a fundamental moment of its formation, the experience of exile, the experience of losing everything, or being thrown out, of being dispossessed, and of relying on the generosity, or not, of strangers. Furthermore, every major faith tradition has popular stories showing how you are more likely to meet the divine in the outcast, the reject, the beggar, than you are in the king, the prince, or indeed minister, priest, or nun. Faiths are therefore often the first to welcome and help refugees. Classic tales on this theme have been retold here from a contemporary perspective, with humor and wit. Sitting alongside powerful illustrations, the tales serve to remind readers of the centrality of the stranger in all traditions, thereby creating the potential for a more compassionate world. This collection is a resource for reflection, ideal for storytelling groups, for drama, art, and poetry, and a unique educational tool as well.

Four Million Stories by The OMSCWP Pdf

This is the fourth collection of the best international short stories as submitted to the One Million Stories Creative Writing Project at millionstories.net through 2012. It takes a great deal of courage to take a story and put it out there in the world, to try and make a connection. That has happened for all twenty-three of the authors featured here. Some are old hands, others have never had a story published anywhere before. That they chose us is our good fortune, that you now hold this book in your hands, is your good fortune! You will discover stories of childhood both cursed and blessed, but all fascinating. There are tales from the end of life's journey too, some prosaic, others quite mad, but throughout, the general flavour is positive, uplifting. Keep a hold of this book. There are names in here you will read again, perhaps on the spine of a book in your local store, maybe on a blog, who knows?

Life to the Full by Abby Johnson,Tyler Rowely Pdf

Abortion is a scourge on our world, perpetuated by a skewed understanding of love and freedom. The result has been over 62 million lives lost in the United States alone since 1973. Each of these lives is an untold story. It is time for them to speak. In Life to the Full, Abby Johnson and Tyler Rowley have collected twenty-three harrowing personal accounts that demonstrate the evil of abortion and, more crucially, the power of life. In the midst of the fight against the culture of death, it is love, mercy, and miracles that serve as our oxygen, keeping so many determined to bring abortion to an end. The best method of winning hearts is the telling of stories—true stories. Life to the Full shares lived human experiences in order to breathe new life into the abortion fight and raise up a next generation of men and women committed to protecting the unborn. "This is the book I want supporters of legal abortion to read," writes editor Abby Johnson. "Page after page will reveal the certainty that it is never okay to kill an innocent human being, and that in order for our nation to know peace, there must be peace in the womb." This book will inspire those already committed to the cause of life, and make abortion advocates second-guess their convictions.

Jailhouse Lawyers by Mumia Abu-Jamal Pdf

“Expert and well-reasoned commentary on the justice system . . . His writings are dangerous.”—The Village Voice In Jailhouse Lawyers, award-winning journalist and death-row inmate Mumia Abu-Jamal presents the stories and reflections of fellow prisoners-turned-advocates who have learned to use the court system to represent other prisoners—many uneducated or illiterate—and, in some cases, to win their freedom. In Abu-Jamal’s words, “This is the story of law learned, not in the ivory towers of multi-billion-dollar endowed universities [but] in the bowels of the slave-ship, in the dank dungeons of America.” Includes an introduction by Angela Y. Davis. Mumia Abu-Jamal’s books include Live From Death Row and Death Blossoms.

Discourse, Identity and Legitimacy by Majid KhosraviNik Pdf

This book is a critical study of the ways that discourses of the (national) Self and Other are invoked and reflected in the reporting of a major international political conflict. Taking Iran’s nuclear programme as a case study, this book offers extensive textual analysis, comparative investigation and socio-political contextualisation of national identity in newspaper reporting. In addition to providing comprehensive accounts of theory and methodology in Critical Discourse Analysis, the book provides a valuable extensive discussion of journalistic practice in Iranian and British contexts, as well as offering insights into historical development of ‘discourses in place’ in Iran. Across four separate chapters, major national and influential newspapers from both countries are critically analysed in terms of their micro-linguistic and macro-discoursal content and strategies. The book is a vital source for interdisciplinary scholarship and will appeal to students and researchers across the critical social sciences, particularly those in linguistics, media and communication studies, journalism and international politics.
