SARAH VOWELL The Wordy Shipmate book!?
To what extent do popular history writers like Sarah vowell contribute to Americans’ understanding of their past?
i have to write an essay for US history! not on this book but about the question above. THANKS SO MUCH!
Answer: The way Sarah vowell writes about history, it brings it down to a personal level. Very often in her books Ms. Vowell will go deep into the character of the important historical figures so that we can better understand the events by better knowing the people who caused the events themselves. For the most part, she does not even condemn people who have done bad things, a lot of the time she seemed to provide a perspective wherein one can appreciate the difficulties that they had to deal with in the olden times.

Can someone help me with essay please?
The topic is "Preserving ethnic tradition" ,I have to respond to "fish cheeks" by Amy Tan and "The first thanksgiving" by Sarah vowell essays
"The first Thanksgiving" offers Vowells perspective on the patterns her family has fallen into over the years.
Amy Tans "Fish CHeeks" is a narrative of a young Chinese American girl who struggles to come to terms with her Chinese heritage; she wants to assimilate completely into American culture.She describes the evening when an American family came to her home for dinner and, to her horror, her own family boldly embraced their Chinese culture.By the end of the narrative, she gains just a sense of what would become an important lesson-that she must be proud of who she is. So,these are some details of texts.
Answer: i havent read those books before ..
but just talk about what you know about the books & providee information to what they're asking for.

Know other authors that are funny?
I am currently reading Sarah vowell and just finished two books by David Sedaris. Do you know of any other author who, more or less as funny as them? Thanks.
spelling out rowlings full name doesnt actually make her a funny author.
i was actually looking for a bit of nonfiction. stories about the authors life...sort of "i know why the caged bird sings" minus the sadness. :-)
Answer: Try Augusten Burroughs. Non-fiction accounts of his life & career, in a similar vein with David Sedaris. Unbeleivable at times, often laugh-out-load funny, too.
I've read "Dry", "Running with Scissors", & "Magical Thinking", and would recommend each.
