Sinossi

In "The Boy Scouts at the Panama-Pacific Exposition," John Henry Goldfrap artfully combines adventure and camaraderie against the backdrop of one of the most significant world fairs in early 20th-century America. Through vibrant narrative and engaging dialogues, Goldfrap crafts a tale that captures the spirit of the Boy Scouts as they navigate various challenges and experiences at the exposition. The book not only provides entertainment but also serves to promote the values of resourcefulness, teamwork, and patriotism, which were central to the Boy Scouts' mission during a time when the nation was shaping its identity on the world stage. John Henry Goldfrap, an ardent supporter of the Boy Scouts movement, was deeply influenced by the principles of self-reliance and public service that the organization espoused. His background as an educator and a writer allowed him to translate his observations of youth culture and societal shifts into captivating tales that resonated with young readers. The nuances of his narrative often reflect the educational principles he valued, aligning with the era's focus on character building and development among boys. This book is highly recommended for readers interested in historical adventures or those seeking to understand the cultural dynamics of early 20th-century America. Goldfrap's engaging storytelling invites readers of all ages to join the Boy Scouts on their journey, making it a timeless tale of exploration and friendship.

    Discovering Your Plot - Think...

    What do writers want from plot? 
    What do writers need from plot? 
    Are those questions the same? Not really. As wordsmiths, we writers know that want and need are two different words. 
    ·      The want is a circumstance that we writers can control. We want plot specifics to help us craft story and exceed reader expectations. 
    ·      The need is a circumstance of obligations from reader expectations of story. While readers may want the comfort of the genre elements (the tropes), they also wish to have their interest and curiosity piqued. 
    Can we writers deliver on the expectations and the surprises in order to please our readers? That’s the question that Discovering Your Plot answers. 
    This guidebook covers plot structure and the necessities of genre expectations so we writers can anticipate what readers want. It explores the six most common plot structures and has a detailed examination of 12 major sections in all novels, no matter the genre. 
    By the end of Discovering Your Plot¸ writers will have the tools to construct a story as well as diagnose problems with pacing, tension and suspense, and sequencing events. 
    Discovering Your Plot is Book 6 in the Think like a Pro Writer series and the second of the Discovering set of how-to guidebooks for writers at all skill levels. While the approach is for newbies, every writer can benefit from this fresh look at any novel’s framework. 
    With her two other pen names, author M.A. Lee has published over 50 titles of fiction and nonfiction.
