Joan Bauer is one of the most popular young adult novelists today. She is well-respected not only by her readers, but also by librarians and critics, having won a Newbery Honor for Hope Was Here (2001), among other awards. Drawing on personal experiences with divorce and family alcoholism, Bauer has her seemingly ordinary teenage characters face situations that test, and prove, their maturity and confidence. Following an introduction to Bauer's work, and a biographical chapter, this volume examines each novel by breaking it down into sections on plot, characterization, setting, and themes. Readers consulting this book for research, or for deeper analysis of a favorite novel, will find this a complete resource.

Names and Naming in Young Adult Literature

Names and Naming in Young Adult Literature

Alleen Pace Nilsen; Don L. F. Nilsen

Scarecrow Press
2007
sidottu
This book shows how authors of young adult literature use the creation of names for people, places, events, inventions, animals, and imaginary concepts as one of their most important literary techniques. Chapters address how authors use names to stretch readers' emotions, to reveal ethnic values and differences, to create "other worlds," and to establish tone. Other chapters focus on how authors use names to help readers remember who is who, such as J. K. Rowling in the Harry Potter books, or to communicate separate messages to adults and to young readers, as exemplified by Richard Handler in the Lemony Snicket books. Names and Naming in Young Adult Literature equips readers with the interest and the skill to make similar observations about names and naming when they read other books. Looking at the names an author has chosen to use is a wonderful first step in introducing readers to the concept of literary criticism as something to help readers get more pleasure and information from their reading. Public and school librarians, college instructors of young adult literature, teachers of creative writing, high school English teachers, and anyone else who is interested in young adult literature will find this book extremely interesting.

The Language of Humor

The Language of Humor

Don L. F. Nilsen; Alleen Pace Nilsen

Cambridge University Press
2018
pokkari
Much of today's communication is carried out through various kinds of humor, and we therefore need to be able to understand its many aspects. Here, two of the world's leading pioneers in humor studies, Alleen and Don Nilsen, explore how humor can be explained across the numerous sub-disciplines of linguistics. Drawing on examples from language play and jokes in a range of real-life contexts, such as art, business, marketing, comedy, creative writing, science, journalism and politics, the authors use their own theory of 'Features, functions and subjects of Humor' to analyze humor across all disciplines. Each highly accessible chapter uses a rich array of examples to stimulate discussion and interaction even in large classes. Supplemental PowerPoints to accompany each of the 25 chapters are available online, taking many of the insights from the chapters for further interactional discussions with students.

Once Upon a Fact

Once Upon a Fact

Carol Brennan Jenkins; Alice Altfillisch Earle; Aileen Pace Nilsen

Teachers' College Press
2006
nidottu
This timely book explores the debate about how best to engage children in the writing of nonfiction and suggests many instructional strategies for K-6 classrooms. Using transcripts and descriptions of children's actual writing practices, the authors show that children willingly embrace nonfiction writing when the genre is given an important place in the classroom. Drawn from the authors' classroom-based research study with third graders, this groundbreaking volume: explores in detail the intertextual patterns that children adopt when writing nonfiction reports; documents the ways in which peer and teacher influence fuel and direct children's writing; identifies four types of nonfiction writers - strategic, experience-only, memory-only, and textbound - and presents case studies with excerpts from interviews and nonfiction reports; and offers a set of instructional guidelines for supporting and extending expository writing, including sample lessons and curricular activities.

When a massive Alien Grey saucer arrives on New Earth, it is soon obvious the extraterrestrials are after those responsible for a recent forbidden visit to Old Earth, resulting in human devastation and the deaths of several Greys. Chloe Meeks becomes their target and friends believe they may intend to hurt or even kill her. To save the Planet's few thousand inhabitants from a threat of starvation, she agrees to surrender, but Nix, Gordon and others won't allow it. In a narrow escape they spirit her away in their rickety spaceship Sephora, and return to Old Earth where new dangers await. Chloe is determined to return as penance for the sins of a former lover. Even as Nix has a plan to save the girl, she is one step ahead and soon face to face with her Grey accusers. The true reason they want her is even more ominous than anyone could have imagined.

Gender Consciousness and Privilege

Gender Consciousness and Privilege

Celeste Brody; Kasi Allen Fuller; Penny Poplin Gosetti; Susan Randles Moscato; Nancy Gail Nagel; Glennellen Pace; Patricia Schmuck

Routledge Falmer
1999
nidottu
Develops a new framework for working in schools that helps educators make informed decisions about change at individual, classroom, curricular and school levels on behalf of gender equity. Addresses the issue of understanding the impact of education on the two sexes, and looks at responsibility for creating gender-fair environments, organising work and creating environments for learning. The book draws on a two-year study into the role that gender played as three Catholic high schools prepared to move from single sex to coeducation. It does not weigh the advantages of single sex against coeducative approaches, but studies gender in a setting where the particpants' consciousness of gender issues was heightened: faculty and administration were formally and informally discussing gender concepts and students were talking about male and female issues. The book shows that the combination of leadership, staff and curricular awareness, and an understanding of gender fair and gender affirmative practices can serve to improve institutional effectiveness and lead to higher levels of student achievement.
