In 2010, I came to Rangoon, Burma, as a tourist for the first time. A few weeks later, I had returned as an English teacher at an international school. I stayed for two years absorbing life in the classroom and in Burma's cities and villages. My life has been filled with travel to fascinating places, but my time in Burma was especially well spent in learning the stories and seeing the sights that contained centuries of culture and history. These stories from the heart make me smile and I hope you will find them equally entertaining. Larry Welch

Looper is not a cartoon but is a lifetoon! Looper, Stop Child Abuse Deals with feelings and emotions. Rosa breaks down and tells Looper, Julia, and Woolly Bear about how her dad abuses her and her twin brother, Rubus. They visit the Wise Old Worm, and he tells Rosa how proud he is of her for telling him and the other children. "I know how hard it was for you to tell us, but now we can help you tell someone who will make it stop. Telling someone you trust will make it stop. If you do not tell, life will get harder, and it will harm the way you think and the way you feel about others and yourself." Rosa went to her teacher, Ms. Laurel, and asked for help. She referred her to Ms. Poinsettia, the school counselor, and Mr. Chestnut, the policeman, who then visited her mother and father. They took Rosa''s father away, and the children were safely returned on Christmas Eve to their mother. They had the best Christmas ever!

"Diário de um Pesquisador Norte - Americano no Brasil III" é o último na série "Estórias que Contei aos Estudantes". É a continuação do namoro e a odisseia do autor no Brasil, esta vez dos anos 1988 a 2005. O volume traz ao dia os momentos no Brasil e tem muito mais o caráter de simples "diário de viagem". Há ênfase na participação de congressos no Brasil, a publicação de trabalhos acadêmicos, e mais importante, a convivência com poetas, professores e pesquisadores da literatura brasileira, da literatura nordestina e literatura popular em verso. Algo de novo nesta fase final de pesquisa, escritura e vida profissional são os momentos passados na cidade de São Paulo. Um momento especial foi a participação em um evento único:" "100 Anos de Cordel" patrocinado por SESC-POMPEIA em 2001. Outros foram com Sérgio Miceli na EDUSP e Plínio Martins na ATELI¿ com a publicação dos livros finais de pesquisa no Brasil. Afinal, o livro lembra os muitos momentos de convivência social com amigos que me sustentaram através dos anos em tempos de alegria, mas também de solidão. Dedico o livro a todos eles: poetas, escritores, pesquisadores e principalmente a estes amigos falados.

I have chosen thirty poems that cover a wide gamut of subjects. Some might make you chuckle or even laugh. Some might make you cry. Some are poignant or metaphorical. I think that the inspiration for any story starts with some experience the writer has had. These are some of mine.

A TALE OF TWO BROTHERS: The Story Of The Wright Brothers is a book that captures the human drama of the Wright brothers' lives. The author views the relationship of these two famous men through the lens of human dynamics. This focus finds the Wright family structure unique for the historical period in which the brothers were raised. Milton Wright, their father, was an ordained minister who was firmly committed to his ministry and the defense of his church's original constitution. But even in his frequent absences to serve the western congregations, he continued to stimulate his children's imaginations through his many descriptive letters. He taught his children to read and write before they attended public school.Susan Koerner Wright assumed the maternal duties of a nineteenth century woman, plus the total management of their growing family during her husband's frequent absences. Because of her own mechanical abilities, she nurtured her sons' intuitive skills and spatial perceptions.Both parents seemed to appreciate and encouraged each of their children's unique abilities. When Orville becomes fascinated with printing, Milton Wright persuaded the older brothers to give Orville their unused printing press and he buys the needed type. When Wilbur was recovering from a serious accident and has to forego college, it was Susan who encouraged his self-education.There emerged from this stimulating family environment two of the most self-motivated and individualist men the world has ever produced. During the time they were working in the printing field and the bicycle repair business, they became infected with the idea that human flight was a possibility. Most people, even many scholars, thought human flight was a pipe dream. Neither brother ever dreamed that they would finally find the solution. At first, they considered their involvement as a hobby, but they soon caught the fever.Against overwhelming odds, the Wrights succeeded where many experts had failed and some lost their lives. To their lasting credit, the brothers dared to question the wisdom of the experts. They then had the audacity to begin to experiment on their own. Theirs was not a smooth rise to success and glory, but rather it was a treacherous road marked by frequent failure and delay.When they finally achieved success on that tiny strip of sand jutting out into the Atlantic, the Outer Banks of North Carolina, they were denied the recognition they deserved. Both in America and across the ocean they were accused of being fakes. The first major invention of the twentieth century went unnoticed and unwanted for several years. The brothers enjoyed only the briefest taste of glory before others were claiming their prize.THE TALE OF TWO BROTHERS is one of the most poignant stories of the twentieth century.

Part of my poetic thought is to share my instances having separate formats in an old folk way now a lost in time it seems. These happennings in olden ways where not of the ordinary kind, being full of pitfalls that are of the extreme within an urban living. A whole world full of experirnces vital for a livelihood motivated by logic values of a poor quality of living that implies a lot of doubt as each day went by emphasized in poems for different years. Perhaps some did not realize the suffering of the other people less fortunate than them of yesterdays knot of no contentment as every week went by, told by a poems vital statistics many times throughout the book. It is assumed that anyone sincere enough will understand whatever was the credence implied to each poem was modeled for each different era. The specials mentioned was the extremes of the times.

Whistles in the Wind explores experiences of diverse forms that make up the essence of modern man's life, lending voice to his main responses to both natural and man-made stimuli surrounding him in a longitudinal context of time as a malleable prism, through which man's actions may be perceived. In rural and urban settings, in work and leisure contexts and in spheres of social interaction in times of peace and war, man is always confronted with choices, and how choices are made. The book is further concerned with an artistic form through which man's behavior is best understood. In this regard, the ubiquitous use of imagery is intended to throw light on man's interaction with nature in the context of both the static (physical features and forces) and changing dynamics beyond man's control. Above all, it is also generally about how little winds of events, subtle warning whistles blowing in them, matter and lead to ultimate storms that may have been averted. From whatever angle life is viewed, man's resilience is dealt with rather implicitly in terms of how he deals with death, the height of man's gloom, and other tragic events, invariably evolving and transformed into man's cycles of hilarious and victorious moods.
