Sinossi

In "The Legend of Sir Lancelot du Lac," Jessie L. Weston intricately weaves together the rich tapestry of Arthurian legend with a distinct focus on one of its most enigmatic and celebrated figures, Lancelot. The narrative unfolds in a style that blends lyrical prose with vivid imagery, embodying both the chivalric ethos and the deep emotional currents of love and betrayal that characterize the medieval romance genre. Weston employs a meticulous approach to the source material, drawing from both French romances and English retellings, and situates Lancelot's story within the broader context of Arthurian mythos, highlighting themes of honor, loyalty, and tragic fate.

A Cancelled Teacher

Doc King Cole

During the years of 1995-2008 I fought the law (Secondary School Administrators) and the law won. I taught with my heart and not my head. I gave my all but did not know this was not allowed. I was nominated Teacher of the Year Twice. Yet lost it because I was teaching out of my area. I left twice in the middle of the year, well three times because the Law was not doing its job. This is a book I feel every new teacher or even a veteran should read. It is a tale all, no holds barred, except changing the names, locations to protect from any law suits. At first I labeled this “Teaching Black While White” because many districts I worked in were minority based or “At Risk.” Now I must warn my readers; this is a male Caucasian teacher not realizing this game is ruled by the opposite sex. Though most of my enemies were male Principals. I will be able to give you some subtle guides as to what to do and what not to do at any school. This book is dedicated to students every where who are stereo typed as low achievers. Also to teachers or educators who are thinking of giving up; don't give them the satisfaction. Stay in the game!
