Somebody Somewhere Knows My Name (First Person)

What a Springboard for a Writing Assignment and Empathy
I read the book to my middle school classes and then had them fill in an "I AM" writing assignment I picked up at a writing conference. There are 18 2-word sentence starters. The kids were to choose to be one of the four characters in the story and write from that point of view. The papers are some of the best I have ever gotten out any English class. Boys wrote with the most emotion that I have ever seen. The book also lends itself to the dicussion of abandonment and foster care, of which I am a foster mother myself. It was great to see these kids feel the character they chose, and express thoughts "beyond the print", a Six Traits of Writing Program phrase for an advanced skill in reading. I teach remedial kids all day long, and this book captured them. I never showed them the pictures so they could see the characters in their own minds. They understood how the tail lights of the car looked liked mean red eyes as it sped away.
Asking the kids if they could fit all of their possessions in a shopping bag gave many a real cause for pause.
It was a real story for kids to relate to. The next day, we made a Valentine gift for their moms. I had the best week of this year because I took a chance and jused this book. It is a must for caseworkers and foster parents.


Staging Fascism: 18 Bl and the Theater of Masses for Masses
Published in Hardcover by Stanford Univ Pr (June, 1996)
Authors: Jeffrey T. Schnapp and Hal Foster
Average review score:

A remarkable narrative on a remarkably odd era
This book, by one of the foremost cultural historians of our time, tells the amazing (and amazingly strange) story of the attempt to create a new kind of mass revolutionary theater in Italy during the decades of Mussolini's dictatorship. In reality, it is a comprehensive history of 1920's and 1930's Italy and the way it interacted with modernity and the world. But it tells this fascinating story by means of a narrower but no less fascinating story: that of the first and last! mass spectacle staged to rise to Mussolini's challenge, launched in 1932, for Italian authors to create a "theater of 20000 spectators" (kind of a cross between a Soviet agitprop play and mass athletic event). The hero of this experiment was an 18 BL Fiat truck and Schnapp very deftly tries to make sense of this seemingly mad (and forgotten) venture. A pretty riveting tale that is well told and sometimes uncannily reflects on our own era, however distant.

This is scholarship at its most rigorous and least pedantic. It reads like a novel (but as they say, truth IS stranger than fiction).

Average review score:

More adaptions from a great sf series!

Star Wars Episode I: Great Big Flap Book
Published in Hardcover by Random House (Merchandising) (03 May, 1999)
Authors: Greg Hildebrandt, Tim Hildebrandt, and Jennifer Foster
Average review score:

Great book for any young star wars fan
My 4-year-old son loves this book. We checked it out of the library and he cried when we had to bring it back so I ordered him a copy and he reads it all the time. As you read the book you can lift all the flaps for more information about the characters and the ships and droids and creatures in the Movie. Great fun for the little Star Wars Fan.


Star Wars Episode I: Micro-Vehicle Punch-Outs (Punch & Play)
Published in Paperback by Random House (Merchandising) (03 May, 1999)
Authors: Tk and Jennifer Foster
Average review score:

A rare media still shines through in the Star Wars universe!
Even though punch-outs are not as popular anymore, this book can change it. The six ships highlighted in this book, Queen Amidala's Royal Starship, Flash Speeder, Naboo Starfighter, Trade Federation Starfighter, Sith Infiltrator, and Gungan Sub, are as easy to assemble and hang up as they are to fall in love and play with. This is a great way to spend the afternoon with a child, teaching them both construction and creativity. Plus, I enjoy them as a fan of the movie! This is a rare, inexpensive must have!


Stop the Medicine!: A Medical Doctor's Miraculous Recovery with Natural Healing
Published in Hardcover by Break on Through Press (January, 1999)
Author: Cynthia A. Foster
Average review score:

This book should be re-released!!
The author went to medical school and decided not to continue with her studies and get her license to practice medicine. The reason is she got sick and "modern medicine" could do nothing to help. She came to the conclusion that she had wasted her time learning a medicine that actually did more harm than good.

You will be shocked to see an "insiders" story about the medical profession. What do they really think when they perform all these worthless, painful tests on patients?

If she had continued and gotten her license to practice medicine and had even suggested herbs or vitamins to her patients, they would have yanked her license. Even suggesting someone take vitamin E is "unconventional" and will make you a target of the establishment.

I wish Amazon had this available, I found mine at the vitaminshoppe. This book is timely and would have a much bigger audience now than it did in 99. I see a lot more people opening their eyes to the medical establishment and turning their backs on it.

Did you know nurses have to wear very thick gloves when they administer chemotherapy? Otherwise, they could burn a hole in their skin! The also have to be sure to inject it directly into the vein, not into the tissues, where it would kill all the tissue it touches.

I think this is a remainder book now, I hope everyone can find it somewhere or it is re-released.
