Mike
You may remember me. We met several years ago at a book signing at the I S U library. At the main, branch of the Vigo County library for two signings. For many years, I have enjoyed your wisdom and humor in your books and collam in the Tribune Star. My reason for writing is I am seeking endorsements from several well known authors for the back cover of my new book. Tales from My Back Porch is to be released later in May. It is a work of fiction. Tales is a collection of ten stories of ordinary people. The life lessons God teaches them and how their lives touch and change those around them. My editor scaptail at first now believes it is my best book so far. Early reaction is very good. Below is a blurb from local author Larry Lilly.

    Bruce Brooks Wasp House Analysis

    "It did not occur to me that the wasps might have fashioned it for themselves" (Brooks 3). As Bruce Brooks matured, he understood that the wasp house he had discovered was built by nature, and not by man. Like the thought processes of many other five-year-olds, Bruce Brooks' chain of thought was childlike and incomplete. Although first led by the design of the nest to believe that it was man-made, Brooks soon discovered that that was not so, much to his disbelief and dismay. By the end of the narrative, the wasp nest had completely changed Brooks' outlook on nature, in addition to opening his mind.…

    The Roundhouse Analysis

    Americans have a well-established tradition of imposing themselves onto other, less powerful peoples. The United States government has perfectly exemplified this when it comes to their treatment of Native Americans. Since their arrival in the fifteenth century, Europeans have exterminated Indian tribes, relocated them, and attacked their cultures. These strategies compounded and advanced well into the modern era, coming into fruition in the American government’s policies of termination in the 1950s, The Dawes Act of 1887, and Richard Pratt’s boarding schools in the late nineteenth century. Sherman Alexie’s…

    While reading both books At The Dark End of The Street by Danielle L.

    Bums In The Attic Analysis

    The LRA is an example of my best work because it demonstrates mastery to specific standards. For instance, the literary response log demonstrates proficiency in the second reading standard. The second reading standard is the ability to determine a theme of a text and its impact and connection to other parts of the story. It is demonstrated by the LRA because in the LRA for “Bums in the Attic”, states, “ The idea of having ‘bums’ in her attic that Esperanza is humble and kind. It shows that Esperanza is humble and kind because the vignette, ‘Bums in the Attic’, states…”.…

    Dwellings By Linda Howards Analysis

    In modern times, the western approach towards nature and Life is practical in the sense that it can all be explained by a scientific phenomenon. Due to this mentality, spiritual connections to our roots, nature and Life, are abysmal. To Linda Hogan, writer of Dwellings, this inauspicious approach confirms a detachment from “the treaties once made with [nature]”(11), to which Native Americans dearly hold on to. Throughout Dwellings, Hogan recounts significant experiences that enable her to inch closer to her roots and raise her awareness on the beauties of Life.…
