T.O.A.D.: Trust Our American Dream

T.O.A.D.: Trust Our American Dream

Donald P. Balla

Independently Published
2019
nidottu
How Abraham Lincoln and a giant T.O.A.D save America by helping the Noyes family drive to Niagara Falls on vacation. I'm Kelly, editor of the Walkintoad Republican. (I know. That's like saying Republican twice.) My neighbors, the Noyes, want to drive to Niagara Falls on vacation. So they hire this seven-foot-three kid lawyer named Abraham Lincoln Kim to sue Arkansas for unconstitutionally denying driver licenses to undocumented immigrants. When Abraham loses, we Walkintoadies organize T.O.A.D-Trust Our American Dream. In reaction to T.O.A.D's lawsuits, the Arkansas legislature passes a law ordering citizens to shoot illegal aliens lookalikes and Catholics without guns. Our tiny town becomes the only city of refuge. Meanwhile, I fall crazy hard for Abraham's seven-foot sister, Joan. Ooof Sure, Walkintoad has wacky characters. So maybe we chase, sue, shoot, invent, sacrifice and laugh our way through unimaginable challenges. And, maybe a felony or two happen. But, wow, we truly were a magnificent and muddy, dangerous and endangered team. What we achieved is as profound as it is surprising.T.O.A.D has suspense. "Where do you live?" "In Arkansas." "Arkansas? Where they shoot immigrants " "We are safe. We live in Walkintoad." "Truly? Do you know this Jesus Noyes? The man who sued for the right to get a driver license?" Morena laid a hand of warning on her husband's arm. "Yes, I know that handsome devil quite well. In fact, the man who is now speaking to you is he."T.O.A.D has romance: "I'm seventeen, Mr. Belly. I'm not a boy any more. Sure, the love interest between you two is a big part of the story. Don't you think so? Don't you think all this freedom and equality and immigration stuff is really just about love, about changing your point of view and looking someone in the eye, and then going, like, wow . . . you know?"T.O.A.D proposes hope: Conversation in the observation tower of the St. Louis Gateway Arch] "Is there room for us, Mama?" "Yes, dear ones. Did we not pass through so much open land on our way here? Missouri is practically uninhabited. And if we settle in a big city like Saint Louis, we come in politely, swing our elbows like this a little bit, say, Excuse me; please make room; I just need a little bit; thank you." The children laughed. Winston swung his elbows and hit a New Deli man who was looking west with longing.America is tilting at the balance. How the Supreme Court rules in T.O.A.D. v. The United States determines whether America abandons its role as champion of liberty, or whether it experiences a new birth of freedom. In this cross between Uncle Tom's Cabin and Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, expect to laugh a lot and cry some, cheer for Abraham or rally against him. Do not be surprised if you are subtly and spiritually inspired with a civil liberty missing in America since the days of the first Abraham Lincoln.

Hope or Despair?

Hope or Despair?

Donald P. Warwick; Fernando Reimers

Praeger Publishers Inc
1995
sidottu
Hope or Despair? asks what promotes and what holds back student learning in Pakistan's government-sponsored primary schools. Using a national sample of schools, students, teachers, and supervisors, it shows how learning is affected by student background, teachers and teaching, school supervision, facilities, and innovation. It is the first book to use achievement tests based on the national curriculum to show influences on learning in the primary schools of an entire developing country. The study also explores why some students complete primary school and others do not.The overall quality of education in Pakistan's government primary schools is low, but student learning rises with the teacher's formal education and with certain teaching practices. Student social class, a strong influence on learning in the United States, makes little difference in Pakistan. Whether the teacher is male or female has no relationship to learning in science, but it does affect achievement in mathematics. Neither supervision nor school facilities are related to achievement. This unique study will be of great interest to those concerned with schooling effectiveness in developing countries as well as to economists, sociologists, and political scientists interested in human resources in those countries.

The Freudian Metaphor

The Freudian Metaphor

Donald P. Spence; Jerome Bruner

WW Norton Co
2007
nidottu
Until recently, psychoanalysis has been a most reluctant recipient of the new inheritance. For most of its century-long life it has clung to the positivist epistemology of Freud, its founding genius, belying his hope that his followers would be as skeptical about received wisdom in their time as he was in his. Psychoanalysis has protected itself from change by preserving its store of founding metaphors in their original form.

Ezra's Social Drama

Ezra's Social Drama

Donald P. Moffat

T. T.Clark Ltd
2013
sidottu
Moffat aims to provide further insight into the mixed marriage narrative by exposing the social and cultural factors on which it is based. He also identifies historical traces in the narrative that can contribute to a historical reconstruction of the post-exilic era. The socio-cultural analysis highlights previously unobserved aspects of the narrative as it understands that the narrative reflects a context in which identity formation issues were prominent in Persian Yehud.Moffat argues that the rituals of mourning and penitential prayer are important acts that shaped the mixed marriage controversy. The label ‘foreign women' is identified as a symbol which carried considerable freight and connected the mixed marriages with wider social discourse on identity. Further, the Exodus traditions are shown to be significant for the conceptual foundations underlying the narrative and the society that produced it. The analysis also gives reason to understand Ezra as the pivotal character in narrative plot. This not only affects how the narrative is understood but has implications for historical reconstruction that utilises this narrative.

How to Attract and Keep Active Church Members

How to Attract and Keep Active Church Members

Donald P. Smith

Westminster/John Knox Press,U.S.
1992
nidottu
In this study of church growth and membership retention, Donald Smith argues that if a church is to survive, it must concentrate on keeping its present members as well as attracting new ones. He interviews people from six hundred churches of various sizes and reviews the causes of membership decline and retention in those churches. He provides evidence that a major problem is membership dropout. He brings together and addresses the assimilation of new members, congregational vitality and church growth, and conflict management and its impact on membership retention. He asserts that churches must meet members' needs in order to attract and keep them.
