Making the Irish American
63Watch it awake.
Scholarship, not a novel. Use it so the films do not get to be the record.
The review
This is a reference, the way Pula's book is a reference for Polish America. It will not move a room the way The Quiet Man moves a room. It will keep the room from inventing the history after the movie ends. Own the habit even if this is not your people: one serious book beside the pictures.
Read the chapter that touches your city, if it has one. Do not try to read it as a story.
Journal
Keep Making the Irish American in the record.
No house has filed a sentence for this yet.
Live Historic number 63. Yours can differ.
The glance
Courage is the thin one.
Does anyone risk something they would miss, or is it only noise?
This phone is set for a grown person, just me. Change the ages.
Consider this
Unto the Sons
69 instead of 63
Unto the Sons is still a history book, and it scores 69 instead of 63. What you gain is household: He is writing fathers and sons on purpose.
The eight
- 6Industry
Labor, the Church, and politics are the subjects the essays keep.
- 5Household
Family is a theme more than a household you can walk into.
- 6Piety
The parish is treated as history, which is the right weight.
- 4Courage
No dramatized courage. The endurance is in the record.
- 6Republic
Wards and institutions. A people becoming a civic fact.
- 7Temperance
Essays do not need shock.
- 8Truth
Many hands, and the claims can be checked.
- 8Stewardship
It exists so a descendant does not have to start from a movie.
