In TAR BEACH, flying symbolizes freedom in Cassie’s world. Historically, flying was symbolic to African Americans for freedom from slavery and the opportunity to return to their native land. The notion of flying has wonderful and magical connotations in the African American culture. And so begins the story of Cassie’s flying adventure. She dreams about being free-to go where she wants without any boundaries, or anyone to tell her she can’t. Cassie lies on the “beach” and imagines herself flying through the sky over the rooftops. During the summer Cassie and her family play at the “tar beach,” which is the rooftop of the apartment building where she lives in Harlem. The story is told from the point of view of eight-year-old Cassie Louise Lightfoot. TAR BEACH, by Faith Ringgold, is a beautiful picture book with imaginative illustrations. Written and Illustrated by Faith Ringgold “In this heartfelt and thrilling debut, Chen revitalizes the trope of the absent and unavailable father. “Clever, thrilling and full of heart, it is an instant sci-fi classic.” – "A subtly woven meditation about the fragility of time raises the bar in this smart, fun, and affectionate story." - Kirkus Reviews One of Book Riot's Best Books of 2019 So Far One of BookBub's Best Science Fiction Books of 2019 "synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title. It’ll take one final trip across time to save Miranda-even if it means breaking all the rules of time travel in the process. But when his best efforts threaten to destroy the agency and even history itself, his daughter’s very existence is at risk. Torn between two lives, Kin is desperate for a way to stay connected to both. Their mission: return Kin to 2142, where he’s been gone only weeks, not years, and where another family is waiting for him. Until one afternoon, his “rescue” team arrives-eighteen years too late. Stranded in suburban San Francisco since the 1990s after a botched mission, Kin has kept his past hidden from everyone around him, despite the increasing blackouts and memory loss affecting his time-traveler’s brain. But his current life is a far cry from his previous career.as a time-traveling secret agent from 2142. Kin Stewart is an everyday family man: working in IT, trying to keep the spark in his marriage, struggling to connect with his teenage daughter, Miranda. Oddly enough, it was her granddaughter’s addiction to drugs that led Katie on a path causing her to confront her fears and prejudices and face head-on the past that she thought she had left behind. Though she escaped a segregated Southern town, racism and intolerance were not easily left behind. But the memory of that horrible event, and the animosity and hatred it stirred in her, were not easily shaken. Settling in, she was confident she had escaped the horrors of her hometown. Here, she was at peace.Īfter a devastating and horrible event, Katie moves with three of her four children to a relative’s house in a majority-white suburb of Los Angeles. Here, she could witness God’s handiwork in the beauty of the land. Her farm, which she shared with her activist husband, became her oasis, her retreat. Raising her family in the turbulent ‘60s in a segregated rural Alabama town, Katie Parker understood the ugliness of racism and Jim Crow all too well. Surprisingly, perhaps, the decade produced relatively few memorable war films, though Twelve O'Clock High and the March of Time documentary series are notable exceptions. Most lists of all-time favourites will include a host of 40s movies such as Casablanca and Brief Encounter. This was the heyday of directors such as Orson Wells (Citizen Kane, The Lady from Shanghai and The Third Man), Alfred Hitchcock (Notorious, Rope, Spellbound and Suspicion), Powell and Pressberger (Black Narcissus, The Red Shoes) and Jean Cocteau (La Belle et la Bete, Orphee) and of stars like Rita Hayworth, Ingrid Bergman, Betty Grable, Laurence Olivier, Clark Gable, Robert Mitchum and, of course, the incomparable Bogart and Bacall. Considering that the world was at war during the first half of the decade and much of it still in ruins during the second half, the 1940s were an extraordinary fertile period for the cinema. |
