Trailer Park: Transformations

The subject of this week’s Trailer Park is transformation. All books, to some extent, contain stories of a character or characters’ transformation; this creates good drama and keeps us reading. However these three books chronicle major human transformations and provide inspiration that yes, people can change.

In the first trailer, we have the true story of La Wanda Merrero, who was brutally abused by those who were supposed to love and protect her. But La Wanda transcended the trauma of her past in a testament to the strength and fortitude of the human spirit. Oh, and it also has a fan-freaking-tastic title: Alice N Crackland. 

Next up, a novel, Time is a River, by Mary Alice Monroe. In this tale, a woman survives cancer and retreats to the mountains, where she begins to rebuild her life.

Finally, the ultimate act of momentous transformation: change in the White House. In Change Has Come: An Artist Celebrates Our American Spirit, President-elect Obama’s words are recounted with warm illustrations by Kadir Nelson.

      WHAT IS A SNARK?




      The Snark is a creature created by Lewis Carroll in his poem "The Hunting of the Snark". To give a proper description of Snarks, one must look no further than Carroll himself, who summed them up in one word: Unimaginable.

      But this much we do know: some have feathers, some have whiskers. Snarks sleep a lot, yet they are an ambitious lot -- with very little sense of humor. They love bathing-machines and tend to bring them wherever they go; they are also handy for striking a light. Snarks live on a far-off island, a place filled with chasms and crags, and are constantly on the lookout for Snark-hunters. Their mortal enemies are hope, care, thimbles and forks.
