1943 American historic novel
POPULARITY
This month we tackled a much-requested book: Esther Forbes's Johnny Tremain (1943). For some authors, winning a Newbery Medal would be enough. Others might dip out after a Pulitzer Prize. Esther Forbes won a Newbery and a Pulitzer within a few years--all while a war was on. During this episode, we discuss Forbes's fascinating career (read as: obsession with Paul Revere). Against this backdrop, we also track Johnny Tremain's puzzling journey from apprentice to American revolutionary. At the start of the book, Tremain is yet another young man trying to make his way in colonial Boston. Then, an injury forces Tremain to rethink his career plans, his love life, and the stories he's been told about his lineage. Despite the challenges in front of him, Tremain somehow feels both despondent and totally prepared to pivot from "aspiring silversmith" to international super spy/soldier. We talk about Tremain's transformation, the timing of the book's publication, and the author's push for men to "stand up" and fight. Next month? We ditch silversmiths and follow Ambassador Kwan in her pursuit of the gold. Original air date: January 28, 2022

Join Michaela and Andrea as they speak with Dr. Scott Henderson, professor at Furman University in South Carolina. They discuss Henderson's queer reading of Johnny Tremain and connect it to the themes and characters in Ted Lasso. While Dr. Henderson had yet to watch Ted Lasso as of the recording of this interview, we know he'll love what's out there so far. And we hope to have him back after season three when our Colin predictions comes true!!! Enjoy!
Welcome back to Coach Beard's Book Club. This month we read Johnny Tremain, the book that young Ted's father read for him when he was just a kid. It helped him ace the test he had that day when his dad told him the story of it on the way to school. We each read it and all came to the discussion with different readings on the book. Topics include: the importance of location, tackling trauma, anti-climaxes, a queer reading of characters, and the importance of true friendships.
Welcome back for season two of That's How I Remember It. I'm thrilled to kick off this season with a conversation with the incredible George Saunders. George has written some of my favorite recent fiction, and his 2022 book Liberation Day is a fascinating story collection that we get into deeply here. We talk about Johnny Tremain, humor in stories, drawing on memories of old jobs, late stage capitalism, gentle revolution, and so much more. We even spoke a bit about songwriting at the end of the episode. I was honored to have such an amazing mind join me here, and I'm so excited to be back with another season of the podcast. Listen, subscribe, and stay tuned for more upcoming episodes.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: How factories were made safe, published by jasoncrawford on the AI Alignment Forum. This is a linkpost for Angelo Guira was just sixteen years old when he began working in the steel factory. He was a “trough boy,” and his job was to stand at one end of the trough where red-hot steel pipes were dropped. Every time a pipe fell, he pulled a lever that dumped the pipe onto a cooling bed. He was a small lad, and at first they hesitated to take him, but after a year on the job the foreman acknowledged he was the best boy they'd had. Until one day when Angelo was just a little too slow—or perhaps the welder was a little too quick—and a second pipe came out of the furnace before he had dropped the first. The one pipe struck the other, and sent it right through Angelo's body, killing him. If only he had been standing up, out of the way, instead of sitting down—which the day foreman told him was dangerous, but the night foreman allowed. If only they had installed the guard plate before the accident, instead of after. If only. Angelo was not the only casualty of the steel mills of Allegheny County, Pennsylvania that year. In the twelve months from July 1906 through June 1907, ten in total were killed by the operation of rolls. Twenty-two were killed by hot metal explosions. Five were asphyxiated by furnace gas. Thirty-one fatalities were attributed to the operation of the railroad at the steel yards, and forty-two to the operation of cranes. Twenty-four men fell from a height, or into a pit. Eight died from electric shock. In all, there were 195 casualties in the steel mills in those twelve months, and these were just a portion of the total of 526 deaths from work accidents. In addition, there were 509 other accidents that sent men to the hospital, at least 76 of which resulted in serious, permanent injury. Work-Accidents and the Law, 1910 In 1907, according to a report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the overall fatality rate in the iron and steel industry was about 220 per 100,000 full-time workers. By 2019, however, that rate had fallen to only 26.3 per 100,000, a reduction of almost 90%. The story of workplace safety illustrates both the serious problems that progress can cause, and how the solution to those problems can be found in further progress. It's a fascinating story in its own right, and in it we find lessons about safety in general, about liability law, and about the early history of capitalism. The dangers of early factories The Industrial Revolution created a dramatic boost in labor productivity through mechanization, the application of power, and the institution of the factory, which reorganized tasks and workers into a new mode of production. This led to vastly higher growth rates in GDP per capita and ultimately in real wages. But the very same elements—factories, machines, energy—created new risks that neither workers nor management were prepared for. The pre-industrial world had plenty of dangerous jobs: mining for coal or metals, tending a blast furnace, sailing in the merchant marine. And of course, craftsman's shops often posed risks from sharp tools or high heat (just ask Johnny Tremain). But the industrial factory brought a new set of risks. Machines had exposed blades and gears that could catch fingers and hands—woodworking machines, especially joiners, were particularly dangerous. Tools were powered by belts, shafts and flywheels that were similarly unguarded. High above the floor of the factory or mill were walkways and ladders without railings. Cranes could knock workers dead, or drop heavy materials on them. Steam engines had high-pressure boilers, which could explode. High-voltage wires threatened electrocution. Smelting furnaces posed a risk of “hot-metal breakouts”. And workers could be asphyxiated by toxic gases. Workers lost fingers, eye...

But tragedy strikes when his father abandons the family and his mother dies of yellow fever. Orphaned and alone, Alex is forced to survive by his wits. By day he works in a counting house learning the secrets of foreign trade. By night he reads Plutarch and dreams of fame and glory. When Ajax is sold to a brutal planter, Alex vows to save him, even at the risk of his own life. With the help of a reluctant slave-catcher, he concocts a plan to rescue Ajax, but when the price for helping a slave run away is torture or death, no one is safe.

This week we are diving into the American Revolution as we follow Johnny Tremain on his journey to joining the fight. We break down the hot topic of racism and classism, which are still very relevant today. Covering one of the turning points in US history, we talk about the Boston Tea Party and Paul Revere.
Should Johnny have sought refuge at the Lyte's? Does the death penalty for stealing seem harsh? Were the Sons of Liberty really noble men? Funny t-shirt ideas? All this and much more!P.S. Matthew forgot to plug in his mic; sorry about the audio.SUPPORT US HERE:https://patreon.com/bookinit

Vicky, Nolan and Jill learned a lot of lessons from this week's movie. We learned that with a head-strong attitude and plucky spirit, one can stand in the background of some of the most pivotal moments in American history. We learned that even when working on the Sabbath and keeping a sharp eye out for passing constables, it's important to always handle molten silver with care. And we learned that there really isn't anything that Vicky can't and won't sexualize. All that and more from Disney's JOHNNY TREMAIN!

Johnny Tremain is sort of Revolutionary War fan-fiction and sort of World War II propaganda, but it nevertheless remains a part of the canon because it shows us a side of these characters that most elementary school history books exclude. Natasha from the Unspoiled podcast joins us for a journey through this occasionally extremely violent childhood classic.

I'm delighted to be recording with Craig and Andrew from Overdue Podcast again! This was a lot of fun to do because Johnny Tremain was a book with a lot of issues in it that were strangely relevant to today's political landscape, and while I think the Overdue boys tend to shy away from getting too political sometimes, I SURE DON'T! Eventually Andrew joins me on my soapbox and it's pretty great.But there's way more to talk about here than just politics. There's an overall message about Johnny's pride and hubris that I relate to way more than it probably good or healthy, and we talk about the impact of tying your worth to your work and what happens to your worth if you're not able to continue that work anymore. Also of course there's the way that Esther Forbes handles the revolution itself and the characters' roles in it, which she does with surprising nuance and subtlety at times. Other times, like Johnny's pride, not so much.

Since this book takes place 200 years in the past, we figured we needed some experts on old stuff! D & Ken from Antiques Freaks join us this week to read Johnny Tremain.

Hello, me hearties! Make yourself a nice cup of tea and mind the gap, because Miles and I are here to talk to you about Neverwhere, by Neil Gaiman. Art Credit: https://www.deviantart.com/algesiras/art/Neverwhere-Characters-373759105I'm so glad that this book was fun to read, because after not liking a couple books in a row, I was a little worried when I saw that Neil Gaiman was the next author on the list. Not to say that I don't like his writing, but overall I haven't been quite as impressed with him as many other readers seem to be, and I was worried that I might get a lukewarm rehashing of some other mythology in this book. I'm happy to say that is not the case. Neverwhere is super imaginative and strange and a little sad, and I love everyday things in the real world being given fantastical hidden aspects. I also thought that the handling of a secret world was handled really well, as it didn't portray the people who have "fallen through the cracks" as the lucky citizens of some gorgeous underground kingdom. Nope, these folks live with constant danger, various levels of filth, and the knowledge that they will go unseen, perhaps forever. This was a really interesting book and it was a lot of fun to talk about. If you're interested in buying it to read, check it out here: https://amzn.to/2AT5F6DNext month's books are Johnny Tremain and The Dead Zone, which you can buy here!

I also thought that the handling of a secret world was handled really well, as it didn't portray the people who have "fallen through the cracks" as the lucky citizens of some gorgeous underground kingdom. Nope, these folks live with constant danger, various levels of filth, and the knowledge that they will go unseen, perhaps forever. This was a really interesting book and it was a lot of fun to talk about.

There is some annoying stuff that we really noticed reading it as grown women, don't get me wrong. Charlotte and Fern and Fern's mom and Mrs. Zuckerman are the ones actually handling their shit while the men just sweep in and get all the credit. HOWEVER. It's still a really well-written and emotional story that is shockingly bittersweet and I'm frankly still sad about it.

And it's the Disney debut of Mary Poppins director Robert Stevenson! But is it any good? Does the film hold up like early Disney live-action classics, or is it utterly forgettable? And you should be smithing on the Sabbath? Listen to find out!
_Mr. Popper's Penguins. _Call It Courage.Maniac Mcgee._The Bridge to Taribithia. _Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry.What do these books have in common you ask?

Team Mousetalgia takes you back to Arendelle - er, the Hyperion Theater, that is - as we enjoy the sounds of summer '16 at the Disneyland Resort. First, we review "Frozen - Live at the Hyperion," and offer our initial reactions to the new musical that made a splash by replacing the popular "Aladdin" stage show. Does it live up to the hype? We dissect what works for us, and what doesn't. Then, we take an audio tour of the parks and enjoy the sounds of summer, including clips of the Straw Hatters, the Dapper Dans with Ragtime Robert, The Pearly Band, the Frontierland Orchestrion, Club 1901's Hollywood Big Shots, and the All American College Band. Plus - we celebrate Independence week with a Johnny Tremain giveaway!
Ending the first half of our first year with a special guest – our dad, Jim Paradis. Perfect one sentence recap from our guest. Looked like a stage show. Little pony tails were the key fashion statement. Real hair is just the poor man’s wig. Business plan – I’m not good enough, go to someone else. Hancock’s character was completely left out of this movie. Print press seemed like so much work! Silver hand and Inferno movie edit problems. Johnny faces discrimination when applying to jobs. Death penalty for a small theft. “Look at this beggar from the streets, then look at me!” The horse whisperer. No writing names down. Happy debt collector. Jimmy and Johnny the newspaper delivery boys. So excited to blow the whistle. Boston Tea Party - not the right time for a casual conversation. Tea dumping scene was really low budget. History lesson and Hamilton reference. Game – guessing the definitions of Boston slang terms. Walt Disney’s daughter gets a small part. Extreme Makeover – Hand Edition. Paul Revere rows incorrectly for the best camera angle. Shot heard round the world. Lexington and Concord fight over who was first. Our dad flexes his math skills. Always choose the main character as your love interest. Mr. Light is Mr. Wonderful from Shark Tank. Liberty Square in Disney World was inspired by this movie. Hall of Presidents - Dad’s favorite Disney attraction. Terrible death scenes. For what do we fight for? Phil ruins his grandmother’s chances in the forehead game. Next episode – Old Yeller
Eastward Ho the Airplane! Do exactly the opposite of this movie. The 50’s are the Fess Parker and Jeff York show. Oregon versus Oregon. This movie was a tough one to get through. Learn from the other person’s mistake. Westward Ho Hoe-down! Do-si-dos and Girl Scout Cookies. The legend of the squirrel story. Standing up or just standing there? Playing hide and seek with kids. Pawnee – Parks and Recreation is such a great show. Why run after someone when you just stole their horses? Even the stuff you think you need, get rid of half of it. How are any of these characters related to each other? Dropping weight. We don’t understand their stampede plan. Game – Oregon Trail computer game questions (top ways to die and animals you can hunt). Oregon Trail and Amazon Trail. Trading old pelts for nice clothes. Dan versus Little Thunder. Bungee cords and timed tent building. Creepy plot point with the little blonde girl. A lot of chanting, long stares, and nothing happening. We missed our one sentence recaps. Does this movie warrant an exclamation point? No plot, no normal build to a movie, no redeeming qualities. Historical inaccuracies. Next episode – Johnny Tremain.
The tears are flowing in this recap of The Wind That Shakes the Barley as Kelly & Tom get back on the Empire Exhibition wagon. They try to keep it together and crack jokes about being torn asunder, Tom Branson’s unforgivable cowardice, the difficulty of a consistent Irish accent, the deliciousness of pretzel buns, kangaroo gouging, the merits of Peri Gilpin, and whether it’s possible to hit the knucklepuck. Kelly feels like Bill Paxton at the end of Titanic, Tom is a one-time fan of Johnny Tremain, and everyone is glad this film moves so quickly. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
In which we discuss sports team names, create a new WNBA team for Boston, Johnny Tremain, Jeremy’s sons first birthday party, asshole kids, and pointless fights. adventuresinirrationality@gmail.com @AIIrrationality http://www.facebook.com/AdventuresInIrrationality http://adventuresinirrationality.com/
WEDway Radio - Walt Disney World and Disneyland Examined with some Disney History
Thanks for downloading WEDWay Radio, a show about Disney history, Disney Parks and touring. This is episode 120 - Liberty by Disney On this episode we celebrate American Independence Day by looking at one of Disney's most patriotic films, Johnny Tremain and its legacy in the Disney parks. Johnny Tremain is based on the 1943 Newberry award winning novel by Esther Forbes and was adapted for the screen by Disney in 1957. The following year Liberty Street was to open at Disneyland, but sadly never came to be. However, when the Magic Kingdom was built in 1971 it was built with Liberty Square and The Liberty Tree from the film. Enjoy this show because it was a lot of fun to create. ------------------------------- Check out the show notes for this and every episode of WEDWay Radio at wedwayradio.com Follow us on Twitter, Facebook and Google+ Twitter: Twitter.com/WedwayRadio Facebook: Facebook.com/WedwayRadio Google+: bit.ly/Gpluswedway We want to thank you again for listening!
