Transcending the Group, Discovering Both Self and Public Spirit
In this analysis of Paul Fleischman's Whirligig and Jerry Spinelli's Stargirl, Steve Redford explores the ways in which Fleischman's protagonist, Brent Bishop, and Spinelli's protagonist, Stargirl, serve as \"near perfect exemplifications of Takeo Doi's theoretical model of the Western psyche. In The Anatomy of Dependence, Doi's discussion of Japanese and Western psyches focuses on the Japanese verb amaeru: to forge relationships with others in a way that allows one to indulge, like an infant, in passive dependence. Doi argues that Japanese culture encourages individuals to amaeru throughout their lives, whereas Western culture encourages them to outgrow the desire to amaeru as quickly as possible--the end result being an emphasis on the group in Japanese society and on the individual in the West. Public spirit can flourish in the Western world, Doi concludes, because the individual is not stifled by restrictive group loyalties.\" (ALAN Review) According to Redford, \"the western psyche that Doi describes seems alive and well in Brent and Stargirl, but it is hardly observable--or fleetingly observable--in other characters.\"

On sail at the Frugal Frigate, September 7
Our book review this week takes me back to that skill of imagination coupled with observation by way of the newly released book \"Sidewalk Circus.\" This book is presented by noted author Paul Fleischman and illustrator Kevin Hawkes. Hawkes, winner of the Boston Globe-Horn Book Honor, has given us treasures such as \"Library Lion.\" Fleischman has won a Newbery Medal for \"Weslandia\" along with other great reads. Together these two have created for us another potential award-winning combination with the theme of imagination. A young girl is sitting on a city bench at a bus stop patiently waiting for the next bus to take her to her destination. While sitting there she observes the marquee above the theater across the street. The oversize letters light up the display with \"WORLD RENOWNED GARIBALDI CIRCUS!!!\"

Could a walk a day keep stress at bay?
That was \"that the ancient Egyptians prescribed walking through a garden as a cure for the mad. It was a mind-altering drug we took daily.\" Perhaps that's a bit extreme, and doubt that madness is even a politically correct term to use anymore, but there's no doubt in my mind that a walk a day does keep stress at bay. It is a nice, hilly walk, great for discovering next day that you aren't as fit as you thought you were.
