I'm Gonna Win features an eleven-year-old, sixth grade boy named Matthew Casey. A basketball great in his own mind, Matt is thrilled about the prospect of playing basketball for the Austin Avengers, a team coached by his Uncle John. Being a very talented basketball player, Matt feels he'll have no problem earning the position of Point Guard, but things turn sour when the boy doesn't get his way. Uncle John tells Matt that he will be treated just like any other boy on the team, and Matt gets very upset when he doesn't get what he wants in life. A terrible struggle ensues as Matt tries to cope with his social frustration, and when his terrible temper gets the best of him, his uncle asks him to leave the team. Will Matt ever act his age and learn to respect his Uncle John as a basketball coach? More importantly, will Matt ever learn that life is not always about winning or being the best? I'm Gonna Win is the heartwarming story of an angry but lovable boy who learns an important lesson in life. It is ideal for boys in fourth, fifth, and sixth grades who not only love basketball, but a good old-fashioned competition along the way.
Poet John Hollander surveys the schemes, patterns, and forms of English verse in this classic text, illustrating each variation with an original and witty self-descriptive example. In new essays for this fourth edition, J. D. McClatchy and Richard Wilbur each offer a personal take on why the book has played such an important role in the education of young poets and student scholars. “How lucky the young poet who discovers this wisest and most lighthearted of manuals.”—James Merrill “Marvelously comprehensive, clarifying and useful, and a delight to read.”—John Reardon, Los Angeles Times Book Review “A virtuoso performance and a mandatory text for poetry readers and practioners alike.”—ALA Booklist
We are fascinated by what words sound like. This fascination also drives us to search for meaning in sound - thereby contradicting the principle of the arbitrariness of the linguistic sign. Phonesthemes, onomatopoeia or rhyming compounds all share the property of carrying meaning by virtue of what they sound like, simply because language users establish an association between form and meaning. By drawing on a wide array of examples, ranging from conventionalized words and expressions to brand names and slogans, this book offers a comprehensive account of the role that sound symbolism and rhyme/alliteration plays in English, and by doing so, advocates a more relaxed view of the category 'morpheme' that is able to incorporate less regular word-formation processes.
