This latest collection of student writing includes submissions from 826 Valencia workshops in sportswriting, horror and dark fantasy, bilingual poetry, and our summer writing camp. A foreword by Victor LaValle is included.
From 826 Valencia, the innovative teaching center located in San Francisco, comes an anthology of stories and essays by 54 juniors and seniors at San Francisco’s Mission High School. We’ve all heard the adage, “do unto others as you would have them do unto you,” but there are many facets to this “Golden Rule.” Forming the fundamental moral basis of many religions, and applicable to global issues, street violence, and interpersonal relationships among friends and family, this principle is a guiding beacon for moral behavior and a fascinating starting point for these impassioned essays and short stories. These young voices explore the Golden Rule in thoughtful ways, bringing their unique and varied perspectives to an age-old notion of social interaction.
Los Angeles is a rapidly-changing city, and some familiar faces — the cart-pushing, corn-selling Elotes man, in particular — may soon disappear. Likewise, a stand-out generation of students will soon disappear into adulthood. More than 100 young writers are represented in this collection of poetry and nonfiction, which captures and preserves the spirit of their generation and traverses three major areas of focus: memoir, family history, and community stories. Written by tenth-graders at the Los Angeles School of Global Studies in conjunction with the 826LA writing center's in-school tutoring program, the entries in this book cover a variety of topics, including urban legends, improbable (but true) romance, and Central American political intrigue, and feature writing that is heartwarming, heartbreaking, and everything in between.
This book is written in the interest of informing you, the buyer of chests, dice, flags and small bottles for message sending, about the man who calls himself Captain Rick. Researched and written by our staff, the papers uncover many interesting things about the man who seeks to change the very nature of piracy and the supplying thereof. We trust that you will find this information illuminating, and that you will renew your commitment to your local independent pirate supply shop.
