#RecomiendaunLibro / @zendalibros
Recomiendo yo una colección de resúmenes de obras clásicas de literatura revisados por diferentes autores. El libro de papel se titula Twitterature . Alexander Aciman y Emmett Rensin editan esta colección en un libro de bolsillo publicado en el año 2009 por la editorial Penguin. Escrita en la lingua franca del siglo actual, o sea, que la obra está en inglés.
En el principio era la palabra – in principio erat verbum– Paradise Lost de John Milton revisado y contado por un lector o lectora (no quiero ofender a nadie) @MorningStarlet que grita mientras el Angel cae al Infierno “FALLING UNTO THE ABYSS!!!!!” y empieza así, con mayúsculas, mostrando el uso del lenguaje no verbal (mayúsculas=GRITOS).
Cualquier lector o usuario de @Twitter que haya leído un libro pudo tomar parte en esta empresa. Página a página sigue un canto de pájaros transformados en palabras y líneas a través del teclado y los cables de una red invisible que componen de modo curioso e hilarante un sinfín de piezas literarias.
@GreekWithEnvy recuerda en Childe Harold´s Pilgrimage la pena del autor Lord Byron por la tuberculosis de su amigo inglés “Oh Keats, thank god I won´t end up that way“. Tengamos en cuenta la libertad de los autores a la hora elegir el tono y el lenguaje poco formal, a veces arriesgando la puntuación o atreviéndose a escribir Dios con minúsculas –Oh, my God!
Vaya manera de dibujar –a picture is worth a thousand words– (¿en serio?) la escena de The Great Gatsby de Francis Scott Fitzgerald! “Some dude is standing on the bay with his arms up looking at a symbolic light” … “What a CREEP!” La firma de estas líneas pertenece al marinero @West-Egg.
El griego Homer -nacido muchos siglos antes que el padre de Bart Simpson, siglos IX y VIII a.C- aparece en esta colección. The Iliad no es agradable de leer, puesto que narra el asedio de la ciudad de Troya llevado a cabo por unos guerreros que querían devolver a Helena, la más hermosa de las mujeres, a su esposo Menelao. Una epopeya, una historia de amor y la búsqueda de la belleza. Hoy, mientras escribo estas líneas el calendario de la pared de la cocina me dice que es 22 de abril de 2022. Estamos en el siglo XXI. Y por increíble que parezca, somos testigos de guerras y asedios a ciudades en un país del Este. En otros tiempos había razones para una guerra. “WHY DOES NOBODY UNDERSTAND ME????? Only Patroclus, my …… cousin, understands me!” -escribe @RageAgainstTheAchaean.
The Odyssey del mismo Homer no se cuenta hasta la página 69 firmada por otro internauta @IthacaOnMyMind. De saber todo el jaleo que iba a crear más adelante en la literatura occidental, Homero se lo habría pensado un poco más. Mm…, a ver, pues me parece raro, pero no veo ningún resumen del Ulysses de James Joyce.
Ilusionada la diosa Calypso pretende que Ulises se convierta en su marido (debe de ver en él un buen partido) y copio el tuit/tweet completo ad pedem litterae: “Calypso wanted to marry me. Bitch. Who does she think I am? I have a wife! Thank the Gods for allowing my escape“. Ulises piensa en su mujer, Penélope. La echa de menos y la quiere. Hay que decir que ella, su mujer, es la mujer más fiel del mundo, del mundo de la literatura. Esa historia es parte de The Odyssey que no quiero destripar (no quiero hacer spoiler).
Lysistrata de Aristophanes es un drama revolucionario en el que las mujeres deciden abiertamente no atender a sus maridos (en plan … no ser cariñosas con ellos) para obligarles a hacer lo que ellas quieran. Hasta aquí todo normal, como suele ser siempre. Make love, no war/Haz el amor, no la guerra. Bueno, aquí ni eso. No hacemos el amor si seguís en plan guerrero.
“This war is just too absurd” empieza @PussyWhip y mantiene el relato resumen de la obra a través del diálogo con otra lectora, porque @WomynOfGreece tiene que ser mujer para escribir esto: “No sleeping with your husbands until they agree not to fight any more“. La autora primera, @PussyWhip, retoma el argumento en los tuits finales haciendo gala de su gusto por las letras y el ritmo de Marvin Gaye: “Time to overcome our differences and just get it on. Sexual healing sounds good?. Right now!” [los subrayados son míos]. En el libro se da la conexión entre lo clásico y lo moderno y, en ocasiones, la fusión entre lírica y música como vemos en esta pieza resumen.
No deja de ser llamativo el hecho de que en la página 51 leamos esta nota sobre On the Road de Jack Kerouac: “For TWITTERATURE of On the Road by Jack Kerouac, please see On the Road by Jack Kerouac“. Uno cree que Aciman y Rensin NO QUIEREN que nadie lea un resumen de esta obra, sino que LEAN LA NOVELA.
En fin, en esta joya caben Austen, Hemingway, Voltaire, Marlowe, Goethe, Dante, Tolstoi, Wilde, Sterne, Crusoe, Brontë, Virgilio, D. H. Lawrence, Swift, Flaubert, Dumas, Virginia Woolf, Miguel de Cervantes, William Shakespeare, Melville, Proust, Carroll, Chaucer, etcétera. [23]
El ilustre dramaturgo inglés aparece en varias ocasiones, mas elijo Romeo and Juliet puesto que es una de mis favoritas de las obras de William Shakespeare. Hacia el final del último acto habla Julieta desesperada en la voz de @DefNotAHomeo: “Wake up, my love. C´mon. Fun´s over. Wake up. Quit it!. Not funny“. Finalmente, la célebre obra de Miguel de Cervantes, DonQuixote es tratada por un loco @DonQuixote que confunde a Sancho Panza con Pancho Villa acomodando ambos personajes en uno “I promised some Sancho Villa mo fo his own island“… jejeje. Luego sigue cambiando el nombre del escudero Sancho Panza a Santo Paco o Pablo Panzo. Acaba el trabajo con un tuit clarificador: “I´m just some guy Alonso with illusions of grandeur. I don´t feel so well. It´s time to go to bed, time to sleep“.

“I can describe it as a pain in the head, some central point, a wound which, somehow, had always been there — something slowly and steadily deforming all hope in me; something that forces me to cling to the past and cling and cling — I cling to the blood, I cling to my own ache, I cling to the past and it gets to a point when I can’t even remember without hurting. I do feed off it, do you understand? It’s not the disease anymore, Anne, it is me, I’m telling you it is me! I blindly follow it because I want to know it and it drives me inward, each time all the most inward, and yet I can only use abstract terms to refer to it and then I get mad at myself. Or I am mad. Probably both. Anne, I am not a loser and I am not weak and I have been battling this ever since I can remember myself. And every single time I try to describe it to someone I love, I only end up sounding like a self-centered asshole who is so damn arrogant in her pain. And then I cannot describe it — I fail, I always fail so forgive me […]”

5 Tips on Handling Students Who Won’t Stop Interrupting
Teachers – study.com
‘Finding a graceful way to deal with students who keep interrupting is a tall task for any teacher. Check out these techniques that will help you keep students in line and prevent disruptions.
Dealing with Interruptions
Dealing with interrupting students is just another part of the job when it comes to teaching. Children are impulsive and frequently feel compelled to call out answers or questions, regardless of whether it’s a good time to hear them.’

Don’t Allow Interrupting to Be Effective
‘If you always stop what you’re doing to give attention to a child who is interrupting, you’ll reinforce that interrupting is the most effective way to get attention. So make sure that when your child interrupts, you don’t automatically give them the response they are looking for.’

Los 51 mejores cuentos de la literatura americana
https://culturamas.es/2017/05/08/los-51-mejores-cuentos-de-la-literatura-norteamericana/
_
(Mil Millington, British writer)
Nothing keeps a relationship on its toes so much as lively debate. Fortunate, then, that my girlfriend and I agree on absolutely nothing. At all.
Combine utter, polar disagreement on everything, ever, with the fact that I am a text-book Only Child, and she is a violent psychopath, and we’re warming up. Then factor in my being English while she is German, which not only makes each one of us personally and absolutely responsible for the history, and the social and cultural mores of our respective countries, but also opens up a whole field of sub-arguments grounded in grammatical and semantic disputes and, well, just try saying anything and walking away.
Examples? Okey-dokey. We have argued about:
Ahhhhhhhh
The way one should cut a Kiwi Fruit in half (along its length or across the middle).
Leaving the kitchen door open (three times a day that one, minimum).
The best way to hang up washing.

SparkNotes PLUS
The Waves
Virginia Woolf
‘The Waves is a portrait of the intertwined lives of six friends: Bernard, Neville, Louis, Jinny, Susan, and Rhoda. The novel is divided into nine sections, each of which corresponds to a time of day, and, symbolically, to a period in the lives of the characters. Each section begins with a detailed description of the course of this symbolic day.
The first section deals with early morning, or childhood, when the six main characters are attending a day-school together. As each of the children awakens, he or she begins an internal monologue composed of thoughts, feelings, and impressions. The children interact in various ways throughout the day, and each begins to take shape as an individual in response to the stimulus provided by the world and by the presence of one another. Although their thoughts are somewhat incoherent and mostly fixated on immediate experience, their distinct personalities begin to emerge: Bernard’s loquacity and obsession with language; Neville’s desire for order and beauty; Louis’s insecurity and ambition; Jinny’s physicality; Susan’s intensity and attachment to nature; and Rhoda’s dreamlike abstraction from ordinary life.
The second section deals with adolescence, after the boys and girls have been sent off to their separate boarding schools. Bernard, Louis, and Neville differ in their reactions to the school’s authority and traditions, and they all form friendships with Percival, a popular, handsome boy who is to become a central figure in the lives of the six main characters. All three boys develop literary ambitions of some sort, though they differ markedly in their goals and expressions. The girls mostly want school to be over and done with: Jinny desires to begin her real life in society, Susan longs to return home to her father and her farm, and Rhoda wants an escape from the disruptions to her mental solitude caused by school. At the close of the section, each character sets out, whether for college, work, or otherwise, on a more solitary track.’

Attendance, Chronic Absenteeism, and Truancy
‘Attendance is a critical building block for student learning. If students are not present, they cannot engage in learning. Attendance is a powerful signal and leading indicator of equity. It can signal when students might need additional support and areas for system and school improvement. Chronic absenteeism impacts all students—no matter their age. Students that miss just two days a month for any reason are more likely to not read at grade level, and more likely to not graduate’

Why Is School Attendance Important?
‘Chronic absenteeism is pervasive: as many as one in six students in the United States miss enough school to be considered chronically absent, according to the US Department of Education. The negative effects of absenteeism on a student’s education can be profound, and they often carry into adulthood.’
