Translated by Mohammad Shahba

Gerald Prince’s “Narratology : the form and functioning of narrative” is converted into Persian by Mohammad Shahba. IBNA: Prince in this book makes a Strusturalist approach to the main component parts of narrative such as the narrator, narrate, internal narrator, audience, etc. In other words the author explains the function of narrative in simple words, said Shahba. The academic member of the University of Art continued: “In general the author tries to offer a grammar for basic narratives in this book. Prince mentions a few conditions for ‘narrativity’ such as the existence of two events or situations, and also a temporal relation between them. The causal relations grow out of temporal relations.”

Historically Speaking: Letters from Nagasaki tell of atomic bomb

This article written by Carolyn Krause features additional information about Carl Bretz. She introduced him to us two weeks ago, cited his career and how he came to be an Oak Ridger. The source Carolyn used is his soon to be published oral history. This article written by Carolyn Krause features additional information about Carl Bretz. She introduced him to us two weeks ago, cited his career and how he came to be an Oak Ridger. The source Carolyn used is his soon to be published oral history. Now let’s continue with Carolyn’s input to Historically Speaking as she provides more insight into Bretz using his letters home from one of the cities destroyed by an atomic bomb to end World War II. His personal observations made during his early visit to that destroyed city made a life-long impression on him, as seeing either Hiroshima or Nagasaki must impress all who visit these two cities forever tied historically to the atomic bomb.

Documenting the service of Jewish vets of World War II

"The first six people we've done have had pretty exciting and impressive careers in the military," said Miller, a retired cardiologist and Air Force veteran. "What we'd eventually like to do is get down to the more ordinary people. That's the reality of the people in the service." Harris and Miller said they picked up a vague idea last year among some Jewish War Veterans members and ran with it. Through Miller's connections at the local senior center, which produces cable access programming, the two were able to find a home for their project on TV. The first interview subjects have been some of the oldest post members, such as Highland Park resident Nathan Firestone, the subject of a recent Tribune article. Firestone was a prisoner of war during World War II who, with two fellow soldiers, escaped his Nazi captors and wandered through the Alps for days before meeting up with another group of American soldiers. Talking with Jewish veterans who fought a regime bent on eliminating their people produced some particularly poignant moments on camera, Harris said.
