# The Dreaming Jewels

***The Dreaming Jewels*** (1950), also known as ***The Synthetic Man***, is a science fiction novel by American writer Theodore Sturgeon. It was his first published novel.

## Plot summary

Eight-year-old Horton "Horty" Bluett runs away from his abusive family, carrying only a smashed jack-in-the-box named Junky. Disguised as a girl, Horty takes refuge among the "strange people" in a traveling circus. The owner of the carnival, Pierre Monetre, is a disgraced doctor and scientist with a deep hatred of mankind. Having discovered intelligent nonhuman life in the form of crystal-like jewels, Monetre works to unlock the source of their great power and, ultimately, destroy mankind. Zena, a carnival performer, takes Horty under her wing. She knows that Horty is the key to executing Monetre's destructive plan, and the only one powerful enough to stop him.

## Reception and significance

Science fiction anthologist Groff Conklin characterized it as "a moving and brilliant piece of imaginative writing." Science fiction editors Anthony Boucher and J. Francis McComas praised it as "a warm and beautifully human story . . . fresh, creative imaginative literature." Science fiction writer P. Schuyler Miller found *The Dreaming Jewels* "compulsively fascinating . . . recommended as much for its people and the way it is written as for the ramifications of the plot."

Science fiction author Damon Knight, however, faulted the novel as "curiously uneven." While he praised the novel's opening half -- "Sturgeon at his brilliant best: the warm insight, the compellingly real background, the exciting narrative"—he felt the work deteriorated sharply as it closed: "the characters become insipid and lifeless, the writing flat, and the action a humorless copy of Victorian melodrama."

In 2001 *The Dreaming Jewels* was nominated for a Retro Hugo for best novella.

In 2010 fantasy writer Jo Walton described it as "a remarkably sophisticated novel for 1950" and wrote that "This book is so much more than the sum of its tropes that it's possible to read it and re-read it without realising that they are standard tropes." Similarly, in *The Encyclopedia of Science Fiction*, critic John Clute calls *The Dreaming Jewels* one of Sturgeon's "most famous" and "three best" novels (alongside *More Than Human* and *The Cosmic Rape*), and describes it as "an enjoyable and sophisticated Young Adult tale."

## Publication history

The novel first appeared in *Fantastic Adventures* in 1950 before a revision was printed in book form. It has since had numerous reprints, notably a 1953 Italian translation and a 1957 Pyramid Books reprint under the title *The Synthetic Man*.

# The Dead Next Door

***The Dead Next Door*** is a 1989 zombie horror film written, produced and directed by J. R. Bookwalter.

## Plot

In the near future, the world falls victim to a plague of violent carnivorous undead humans, and a black-ops elite team of soldiers, nicknamed the "Zombie Squad", has been enlisted by the government as exterminators to control the growing epidemic. While on a series of routine containment missions, the soldiers stumble upon a mysterious religious cult which wishes to protect and enable the zombies, believing them to be a punishment ordained by God. Within their compound may be a cure to the virus causing the plague.

## Cast

* Pete Ferry as Raimi
* Bogdan Pecic as Dr. Moulsson
* Michael Grossi as Mercer
* Jolie Jackunas as Kuller
* Robert Kokai as Rev. Jones
* Floyd Ewing Jr. as Capt. Kline
* Scott Spiegel as Richards
* Michael Tolochko as Randalls
* Bruce Campbell as Raimi and Cmdr. Carpenter (voice only)

## Production

Sam Raimi served as executive producer on the film under the pseudonym 'The Master Cylinder' using a portion of his payment from *Evil Dead II*. Bruce Campbell supervised post-production sound and dubbed the voices of two characters, Raimi and Cmdr. Carpenter. The movie was produced over nearly four years, in Akron, Ohio. Although unsure of the exact figure, in an interview director J. R. Bookwalter estimated that the film cost $125,000 to produce.

The film was shot on Super-8, which is an amateur grade film generally only used for making home movies. Everyone involved worked on the film for a deferred salary. The film is notable for highly graphic gore effects.

## Critical reception

AllMovie wrote, "very stylish for what is essentially an epic-scale home movie \[...\], this remains Bookwalter's best effort", comparing the film's fast pace to that of a "live-action video game".

## Soundtrack

The score for the film was composed by director J. R. Bookwalter. The soundtrack has been released on CD and in MP3 format by Tempesound.

**The Daybreakers** were an American garage rock and psychedelic band from Muscatine, Iowa, who were active in the 1960s.

In the intervening years, their work has come to the attention of garage rock enthusiasts and has been included of several compilations.

The Daybreakers were inducted into the Iowa Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame in 2008.

## History

The Daybreakers were founded by keyboardist Max Allan Collins in 1966 in Muscatine, Iowa. Collins, a high school senior at Muscatine High School whose father had once a music teacher there, asked George Dunker, the school guitar teacher, to help recruit musicians for the group. Dunker recommended three junior high students who Collins found acceptable that would form the band's lineup: guitarists Mike Bridges and Denny Maxwell, and drummer Buddy Busch. Bridges would play lead guitar and Maxwell rhythm, with Collins on keyboards and lead vocals, though the other members would occasionally sing leads and harmonies. Collins' father helped the group work out their vocal style. Chuck Bunn, who had played in several other local bands joined on bass. The band rehearsed in the basement of Collins' parents' house. The Daybreakers quickly became one of the most popular groups in Muscatine. Other popular bands were the XLs, from Wilton and the Night People, from the Quad Cities area. In November 1966 when the Daybreakers won the Carnival of Bands competition, held at the Col Ballroom in Davenport. Max Collins, who still has the trophy, recounts:

They had around 30 bands from all over the Midwest, including Minneapolis and Chicago. We won because we did a very different set from everybody else. We did some steps like The Raiders and wore gold sparkle shirts!"

The band became acquainted with Jack Barlow, a popular radio DJ and country music recording artist, who had been a music student of Collins' father. Barlow asked his A&R man, Buddy Killen to produce a session for the group for a single initially planned to be released for the local market. Collins played Killen six of the group's original songs, including "Psychedelic Siren". When performed live the band would use a siren effect generated by an electronic device (a primitive version of a synthesizer built by a college classmate of Collins') operated by rhythm guitarist Denny Maxwell. Despite the song's reference to psychedelia, none of the band members did drugs. According to Collins, "...The term 'psychedelic' was largely just a buzz word to the group, describing the sights and sounds of the era". Killen took the group to record at the Columbia Recording Studios, where they recorded "Psychedelic Siren" and four other numbers, including guitarist Mike Bridges' composition "Afterthoughts". Thom Hetzer was brought in top play bass at the session. Killen offered the group a three-year recording deal with Atlantic Records through its Dial label, who released the single "Psychedelic Siren" b/w "Afterthoughts" single in December 1967. Each of the group's members were signed to five-year songwriting contracts.

Despite their enthusiasm, on the way back to Muscatine the group heard Jimi Hendrix and the Doors on the radio and realized that their style of music might soon fall out of fashion. According to Collins, "I think the contract came just as music was changing..." "Psychedelic Siren", nonetheless became a local and regional hit. It entered the charts at Davenport radio station KSTT in December 1967 and stayed on the charts for over three months. In early 1968, the band did a small tour to promote the single and opened for the Young Rascals and Gary Puckett and the Union Gap at several concerts held in Davenport and Des Moines, as well as the Buckinghams and Strawberry Alarm Clock. In 1969 they won the Iowa State Fair Teen Town Battle of the Bands. The Daybreakers included a lot of original material in their live act, most penned by Collins, Bridges, Maxwell, and Peters. The Daybreakers' deal with Buddy Killen and Atlantic Records led to no further releases. Demo tapes recorded at Fredlo Records in Davenport failed to get attention, while phone calls to Nashville went unreturned. Chuck Bunn departed and was replaced by Bruce Peters on bass and subsequently Terry Beckey, then later Paul Thomas. Peters and Thomas also played guitar.

In the early 1970s the Daybreakers evolved into group Rox. They remained under the leadership of Collins but with Bruce Peters came to dominate musically as they moved in a more pop direction suggestive of late the 1960s Beach Boys and early Raspberries. In the mid-1970s, Collins, Peters and Thomas reunited with Crusin', one of the first 1960s revival bands, which played with varying members, including Bunn and Maxwell, but always with Collins. Collins also became a writer for the Dick Tracy comic book series. Paul Thomas continued to play music until his death in 2004. Peters and Beckey are also deceased. The Daybreakers reunited with their original lineup on Aug. 30, 2008 Arnolds Park, Iowa for their induction into Iowa Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.

The group was rediscovered by garage rock music fans in the early 1980s with the release of the *Psychedelic Unknowns* compilation. Their song "Psychedelic Siren" also appears on *Garage Beat '66, Volume 6: Speak of the Devil...*, issued by Sundazed Records.

# The Five-Storied Pagoda

***The Five-Storied Pagoda*** (Gojūnotō, 五重塔) is a novella by writer Kōda Rohan. “It was originally written as a serialized piece of fiction in the intellectual newspaper Kokkai (Diet, or Parliament), beginning in November 1891 and ending in March of the following year. As a consequence, chapter divisions in this story \[…\] do not necessarily coincide with the breaks in plot progression or narrative pauses.”(15). The pagoda in the story is based on a pagoda donated to Tokyo by Tennō-ji.

## Plot Synopsis

Jūbei is a poor carpenter working under the master architect Genta. When the Abbot proposes the construction of a new pagoda, Jūbei insists that he take charge of the construction. The Abott has pity on Jūbei. Genta proposes cooperation between the two, but Jūbei rejects his offer. The Abott finally gives Jūbei full authority over the project. One of Genta's servants, Seikichi, is furious about Jūbei rejecting his master's offer which makes him lose face. Seikichi goes to the construction yard of the pagoda and attacks Jūbei in a rage, cutting off his ear and severely wounding him. Despite his injuries, Jūbei insists upon finishing the project. Eventually the pagoda is completed, but then one night a terrible storm hits Edo, endangering the pagoda. One of the servants, Eiji tricks Jūbei into coming to the site during the storm. Jūbei rushes to the roof of the pagoda and stands in defiance of the storm and waits for the storm to die out. Everyone fears the pagoda will come crashing down, but amazingly enough, it stays standing. In the coming days, the Abbot finalizes the pagoda with an inscription signifying the pagoda was built by Jūbei, and approved by Genta.

## Plot summary

Okichi, Genta's wife, speaks with Seikichi about Genta's rival, Jubei. Jubei is a lowly carpenter and Okichi becomes aggravated by his audacity to challenge her renowned carpenter husband for the position of building the coveted pagoda. Jubei's inability to find work troubles his wife, Onami. His peers undermine his ability by calling him “Nossori, Slowpoke”, which causes additional grief for Onami. She also worries about how Jubei's peers will view him if he continues to challenge Genta for the pagoda job because of their large gap in social status.

The Abbot Roen of Uda wants the pagoda built in order to utilize the funds left over from Genta's renovation of the Kano Temple. Although it was presumed Genta would build the pagoda, Jubei heard about the pagoda and decided to ask the Abbot if he could build it instead. When Jubei visits the Abbot, Tame’emon tries to send him away, but the Abbot welcomes Jubei inside. Jubei explains to the Abbot how he built a model of the pagoda and how much he wants to build the pagoda. After looking over Jubei's pagoda model, the Abbot agrees Jubei has the necessary skill to build the pagoda. The Abbot struggles to decide if either Genta or Jubei should build the pagoda.

The Abbot calls both Genta and Jubei to the temple and lets them know they should decide between themselves who should build the pagoda. He tells them a tale about two sons and their father. When the two sons fight, they accomplish nothing, but when they work together, they find precious sands. When the Abbot finishes, Genta and Jubei both wonder why the Abbot chose to share the tale with them. In the story, the younger son allows the older son to walk over the bridge first to the precious sands. Jubei knows he is the younger brother and the tale suggests he should let Genta go ahead and build the pagoda, but Jubei's carpenter Katagi does not allow him to give up on his dreams of building the pagoda. Genta knows the older son only found the precious sands because the younger son helped him, so Genta wants to build the pagoda with Jubei's help in order to follow the Abbot's tale. Okichi thinks Genta should not have to share the pagoda with Jubei at all, regardless of what the tale suggests.

When Genta visits Jubei to tell him he can help with the pagoda, Jubai turns Genta's offer down and says he either wants to build the pagoda by himself or not build it at all. Both Onami and Genta get angry with Jubei for being so irrational, because Jubei should eagerly accept the opportunity to work on the pagoda, even if it meant sharing half the credit with Genta. Genta leaves and goes home to drink with Seikichi and Okichi. Seikichi agrees with Okichi that Genta never should have offered to share the pagoda with Jubei and threatens Jubei for overstepping his position in society. Genta realizes he needs to remain calm about the situation to avoid any embarrassment.

Genta goes to the temple to ask the Abbot to choose who should build the pagoda because Jubei and Genta were unable to reach an agreement. The Abbot tells Genta that Jubei came earlier and said the same thing. The Abbot encourages Genta to show compassion towards Jubei.

Ino, Jubei's son, tells Onami he had a nightmare where someone bashed Jubei's head open. Onami worries the dream may hold some deeper meaning. Meanwhile, Jubei gets summoned to the temple and Endo lets Jubei know he's the chosen one to build the pagoda. Genta invites Jubei to a place in the pleasure quarters to congratulate him and discuss how they should move forward with the building of the pagoda. Genta apologizes for getting angry before and expresses how he wants to help Jubei. When Genta tries to give Jubei the work he did on the pagoda so far, Jubei refuses to it. Genta gets angry and tells Jubei he will be waiting for him to mess up. Genta leaves Jubei behind in frustration to meet up with his friends to drink and have a good time.

Jubei, as promised, pours his heart into building the pagoda, creating an atmosphere of productivity. In contrast to the bright mood at the pagoda site, Genta's home has turned into a site of gloom with Okichi brooding over Genta not getting the pagoda job. Okichi questions Seikchi's loyalty to Genta, so Seikichi sets out to prove himself. Seikichi goes to the pagoda site and attacks Jubei with an adze, cutting his left ear off. Eiji stops Seikichi from doing any more harm to Jubei. Eiji goes to Genta's home only to realize Genta already left to go to Jubei's home to apologize for Seikichi's actions. Eiji tells Okichi about what happened to Jubei.

Genta visits both Jubei and the Abbot to apologize for Seikichi's actions. Seikichi's mom deeply apologizes to Genta for Seikichi because she knows her son has a good heart but he let his anger get the best of him, which is why she thinks he did what he did. Genta feels sorry for Seikichi's mother and does not know how to respond to her. Okichi, on the other hand, knows Seikichi only attacked Jubei because of his respect for Genta and because of her persuasion. She feels responsible and takes care of Seikichi behind Genta's back. Seikichi feels remorse for his actions because he realizes how much trouble he caused Genta.

The day after the accident, Jubei gets ready to go to work. Onami tries to stop him but Jubei insists on going to work because he does not want his workers to view him as weak. With hard work and determination, Jubei finishes building the pagoda. Everyone marvels at Jubei's pagoda and it gets the high praise of “Deva King”.

Out of nowhere, a huge storm comes to challenge the pagoda, led by the Demon King. The storm warns against giving praise to man-made objects and proceeds to wreck everything in sight. Everyone in Edo is terrified of the storm, especially Tame’emon and Endo. They express concern over the pagoda's ability to withhold the storm and bribe Shichizo to bring Jubei to the pagoda to check on it. Jubei refuses to go to the pagoda unless the Abbot summons him there, so Shichizo lies and tells Jubei the Abbot did summon him in order to get Jubei to go. Jubei takes this as a direct insult to his carpenter katagi and rushes over to the pagoda, prepared to kill himself if he finds any error with his pagoda. Genta also monitors the pagoda, waiting to see if it would make it through the storm.

When the pagoda survives the storm unscathed, everyone continues their adulation for the pagoda and for Jubei's craftsmanship. The Abbot inscribes the pagoda with both Jubei and Genta's name, and since that day, the pagoda and its legend has continued to live on.

## Setting

The story is set in the Edo period and takes place at a number of locations:

**Temple**
Kannō Temple is a key setting in the story. This is where the Abbot resides, the announcement of who will build the pagoda is given, and where the pagoda will be built. Most of the temple was renovated by Genta; who was expected to build the pagoda there as well. However, this task was left to Jūbei who poured his heart and soul into it. His pagoda was then tested against a storm of epic proportions which assaulted the temple grounds. During the storm, Genta stormed around scrutinizing everything, waiting for something to fail, while Jūbei waited at the top of the pagoda; hoping that it would survive.

**Genta's House**
The place where Genta and Okichi interact. It is a necessary setting to display the Katagi of the wife since, as the wife, she should not leave the house. This is also where Seikichi all but lives, and is where Okichi nudges Seikichi to avenge Genta; leading him to attack Jūbei.

**Jubei's House**
Also acts as a way to display the Katagi of the wife; it is the only time we see interactions with Onami. Here Jūbei's obsession about the pagoda is revealed, where he spends countless, sleepless nights perfecting his model. His son then builds his own version of his father's pagoda and predicts the attack on his father in a dream. An important fight between Jūbei and Genta takes place here, in which Jūbei refuses his master's offer to share the pagoda project.

**Upstairs Room of Hokai Restaurant**
Another important fight between Genta and Jūbei takes place here that illustrates Jūbei's craftsmen Katagi. This time Jūbei refuses to use Genta's estimates and ideas stating that if he is going to build the pagoda, he is not going to receive any help. It is either he builds it completely himself, or not at all.

## Characters

### Main characters

**Jūbei (Nossori)**
A lowly, tactless and obscure carpenter, given the nickname “Nossori, Slowpoke by his colleagues” (27). He aspires to build the five-storied pagoda even though it goes against the wishes of his master, his wife and his collogues. When the Abott lets Jūbei and Genta decide who builds the pagoda, he experiences an internal struggle because although he cannot think of another purpose for his life other than building that pagoda, he is going against Genta, his master and the man to whom he is eternally indebted. He demonstrates the craftsman Katagi quite strongly when he refuses to work on the project with Genta and insists on building the pagoda alone, and, when he is injured after being attacked by Seikichi, he insists on going to the construction site the next day despite Onami's protest. That action gains him the workers respect and speeds up the building of the pagoda. His obsession with building the pagoda to perfection alone is another sign that illustrates the craftsman Katagi. The introduction of *Pagoda, Skull and Samurai* describes him as someone who is “often lauded as a champion of modern individualism for refusing all compromises, or a ruthless social climber. But the crucial keys to his character are the nature of a pagoda and the religious implications of pagoda constructions. In Buddhist scriptures, especially the Lotus Sutra (virtually the sore devotional object in the Nichiren sect), the pagoda, or *stupa*, is identified with a variety of religious concepts: Buddha’s body; testimony to the truth of the Lotus teachings; the universe itself, in which the ancient Buddha (the symbolic moon) and the present Buddha (the sun) dwell side by side; and the Western Pure Land (whence the ancient Buddha returns to save mankind and whither the present Buddha will lead it). The construction of a pagoda is deemed equal to the preaching of the Lotus gospel in its ultimate religious merit.” (Pagoda, Skull and Samurai: Three Stories by Kōda Rohan, 16)

**Genta of Kawagoe**
The strict master carpenter possessing both skill and status. Both in his mien and his looks, he is a man of masculine charm who inspires anyone's admiration (41). He rebuilt the Kanno temple and did such an impressive job that he was considered for the building pagoda. He admires Jūbei's dedication and skill, and after hearing the story from the Abott he suggests they work on the pagoda together as chief and assistant, and upon Jūbei's refusal Genta offers to take the role of the assistant himself. Genta's suggestion stems from the fact that he is an Edoite scrupulous in performing his social obligations yet susceptible to sentiment, and is as unbending in his principles as he is unsparing in his kindness (57). After meeting with the Abbot a second time, he agrees to let Jūbei build the pagoda. When Jūbei refuses to use Genta's estimates and plans for the pagoda, the latter vows to be watchful of the pagoda so as to punish Jūbei if a single nail falls out, and literally circles the pagoda during the storm, waiting for that to happen. His sense of honor plays a major role in the decision he makes, which plays up his honorable man Katagi. He gives up the pagoda project for no reason other than honor.

**Abbot Rōen of Uda**
“A priest so esteemed that at the mere mention of his name even a three-year-old would fold his palms in veneration. In his youth he pursued rigorous training and religious studies at Mt. Minobu, the headquarters of Nichiren Buddhism, and in his middle years he traveled throughout sixty provinces as a mendicant practicing austerity and asceticism. He had sharpened the sword of tranquil wisdom through contemplation of Samsara, this world, and Dharma, the Law. He intoned the sacred gospel of salvation in four dialects of Sanskrit. Now a septuagenarian, the Abott was as lean as a crane, the result of abstinence from unclean food –meat, fish, and ill-smelling vegetables. His eyes were always half closed so that he might transcend the turmoil of the human sphere. Having learned the Principle of Emptiness, he no longer kindled the flames of desire in his heart. Having comprehended the truth of Nirvna, he was free from the taint of worldly attachment” (Pagoda, Skull and Samurai 29). The Abbot views Jūbei through the lens of compassion and sees in him the good that everyone else overlooks because of his low status. He agrees to meet with Jūbei after his servants attempt to throw the carpenter out, and takes pity on him when he begs for the pagoda contract, and admires his skill after he sees the model he built.

### Supporting characters

**Okichi**
Genta's wife. She is described as someone who does not give any thought to her appearance, but rather as if she took pride in her respectability (22). She believes strongly in her husband and feels contempt for Jūbei for daring to compete with her husband, his master, despite his low status. She is tactfully amiable even to a subordinate like Seikichi (23). Despite being stubborn herself, she adapts to her husband's temper. She fits the wife Katagi because although she cares a great deal for her husband, she fails to understand how his world works. She also spends a great deal of time thinking and working from behind the scenes, like the time when she encourages Seikichi to avenge Genta's honor (although not realizing how reckless he will be), and helps him escape Edo by selling some of her precious possessions.

**Onami**
Jūbei's wretched-looking wife. “Although her features that are not homely, her skin is pitifully dry and rough from malnutrition” (28). She pities her husband for being untutored in the ways of the world despite his skill at carpentry and wishes his wits would be half as sharp as his trading skills (27). She refers to Genta and Okichi as the Master and Madam, and worries about their reaction to her husband's unreasonable aspiration. She demonstrates the wife Katagi by constantly worrying about her husband's wellbeing. She also provides a reflective narrative unobtainable through Jūbei, who as a man does not waste time thinking.

**Seikichi**
Genta's foolish young subordinate. Lives with his mother and takes care of her and loathes Jūbei for daring to go against his boss. He spends time with Genta and his wife, drinking and chatting. He owes a great deal to Genta, who once saved him from fleeing Edo after injuring a colleague of his by paying for the colleague's treatment and telling Seikichi to apologize to him, which made Seikichi and the colleague best friends. His young age and lack of experience are revealed when his faithfulness to Genta drives him to act irresponsibly and attack Jūbei. He injures him and slices his ear off, and attempts to do more before Eiji stops him and knocks him out. That act of aggression causes him to flee Edo.

### Other characters

**Ino**
Jūbei's son. While his dad is at the Temple to speak to the Abbot, Ino piles scraps of lumber in imitation of a five-storied pagoda, which earns him a tearful embrace from his distressed mother and a tear-muffled laughter from his father. A dream he has about his father's head being split open with a shovel foreshadows the incident where Seikichi attacks Jūbei.

**Seikichi's mother**
An old woman who lives with her son. Apologizes to Genta for her son's action.

**Endō**
An announcer at the temple that lets Jūbei know whether or not he was awarded the pagoda contract.

**Tame’emon**
A receptionist at the temple. Attempts to throw Jūbei out when the latter attempts to speak with the Abbot.

**Den**
A geisha at the brothel located in an upstairs room of Horai Restaurant.

**Shichizo**
Is sent to fetch Jūbei during the storm by Endō and Tame’emon who tell him to lie and say that the Abbot wants Jūbei near a pagoda, a lie which causes Jūbei to believe the Abbot has lost all faith in his ability and makes him wish death upon himself.

**Eiji**
The short-tempered chief of the M crew and a contact of Genta who helps Jūbei build the pagoda(73). Nicknamed the Master Fireball.

**King Demon**
A personification of the wrath of Nature.

## Themes

**Katagi**
Refers to a specific type of person, likened to a “mold” that people fit. Everyone within these Katagi performs their assigned roles to the best of their ability.

Carpenter Katagi - Striving to be the perfect carpenter. Jubei shows his extreme carpenter Katagi when he goes to work the day after his ear gets chopped off. His desire to work and prove himself to his workers trumped the pain and necessary recovery he needed after the accident. He strives to build the pagoda perfectly, scrutinizing over every detail to ensure its strength and durability.

Honor Katagi - Placing honor above everything else. Genta displays characteristics of this Katagi because honor is what motivates many of his decisions, and the reason he gives up the pagoda project.

Subordinate Katagi - loyalty to the master to the point of committing reckless acts. Seikichi demonstrates this Katagi when he attacks Jubei in an attempt to protect his master's honor.

Wifely Katagi – Striving to be the perfect wife. Worrying and fretting over Genta, always thinking of his best interests, Genta's wife, Okichi, riles up Seikichi thinking he will avenge Genta's honor in some way. She knows he deserved to build the pagoda and she thought Jubei should be punished for taking the job from her husband.

**Personifications**
In The Five-Storied Pagoda, there is a theme of deity comparison. Genta tells Jubei that Eiji has the ability to build something sturdier than “the deity Fudo’s pedestal” \[pg 73\]. Genta also talks about “fireball” spirit, which comes up again later when Eiji protects Jubei from Seikichi. The Abbot is considered a “King Lion or King Peacock” because of how much higher he stands in status compared to others in his field \[pg 97\]. When Jubei finishes the pagoda, it is considered a “Deva King” because of its tall stature and stability \[pg 97\].

**Homo-social Society**
Male relationships dominate in The Five-Storied Pagoda. Although the wives show concern for their husbands out of wifely katagi, the men never listen and always do what they think is best. The story also focuses on power relations within the male society, instead of a female-male setting.

**Social Class**
The large gap in social class between Jubei and Genta creates constant animosity in The Five-Storied Pagoda. Okichi's anger towards Jubei comes from his receiving the pagoda job over Genta, even though Jubei is underneath Genta in social recognition in their field. Onami tries to dissuade Jubei from taking the pagoda job because she knows Genta's higher social rank means he should receive the job over Jubei.

## Adaptations

There are currently three adaptations for the Five-Storied Pagoda : two movies and a drama. Both movies are titled *Goju No To* with one produced in 1944 (directed by Heinosuke Gosho) and the other produced in 2007 (directed by Masatoshi Akihara). There haven’t been very many (if any) reviews for any of the movies yet. Nor do the web sites for the movies give any sort of summary or introduction. See the links below for more information on the movies. The drama has far more information on it than the movies. Released in 2009, it was directed by Atsushi Funahashi and is widely popular among critics. It was chosen as BEST 10 in the 2010 issue of FILM COMMENT. Here is a synopsis from the website: Deep in the Valley interlaces a story of young romance set in Yanaka (part of old downtown Tokyo) with a Japanese period drama based on Five-Story Pagoda, a classic literary work by Rohan Kōda. In the contemporary story, Kaori, a young woman working for a non-profit organization that restores home movies, learns that there used to be a five-story pagoda in the middle of Yanaka Cemetery. It burned down in 1957, and rumor has it that someone has an 8mm film of the fire. Kaori visits Buddhist monks, a cemetery caretaker, a local historian, and traditional craftsmen in her search for the film. She falls in love with Hisaki, a local street punk, and together they discover the mysteries of the lost pagoda. In a story set in the Edo period (18th century), Jūbei, a young, obscure carpenter, aspires to build the Five-Story Pagoda alone despite the opposition of his boss, his colleagues, and his wife. Mixing fiction and documentary, the film breaks the barrier dividing generations and fills the void of lost memories.

title: William Quesse

abstract: William Frederick Quesse was an American labor leader and president of the Building Service Employees International Union, the precursor of the Service Employees International Union, from 1921 to 1927. He was the union's founding president.

text:
# William Quesse

**William Frederick Quesse** (April 4, 1878  February 16, 1927) was an American labor leader and president of the Building Service Employees International Union, the precursor of the Service Employees International Union, from 1921 to 1927. He was the union's founding president.

## Early life

Quesse was born to German immigrants Christopher (or Christian) Quesse and Elsie Quesse (née Haake) in Chebanse, Illinois. They had ten children, only seven of whom survived to adulthood: Christian, Henry, Minnie, Dorothea, William (Bill), Emily, and George. He married the former Margaret Anna Pankau, and the couple had three children.

Quesse founded a union of 200 apartment janitors in 1902. The union quickly folded, however. Undeterred, Quesse founded the Chicago Flat Janitor's Union in 1912. Quesse was elected president.

In 1921, Quesse led six other janitors' unions in Chicago in forming the Building Service Employees International Union (BSEIU). The new union immediately received a charter from the American Federation of Labor.

## BSEIU and presidency

The union led a strike in 1917 which led to retention of contracts but little economic advancement.

A second labor dispute erupted in 1920. Initially, Quesse agreed to arbitration as a way of ending the wage impasse, but the arbitrator ruled for no pay increase. The union undertook a pressure campaign against the employers. The Employers' Association of Chicago initiated an anti-union campaign aimed at BSEIU, and not only resisted the union's organizing efforts but began an active public relations, legal, and media campaign to break the union. As the organizing drive continued throughout 1920 and 1921, both sides undertook a program of bombings, beatings, intimidation, extortion, and bribery.

A 1921 indictment resulted in a hung jury. In 1922, 10 union leaders, including Quesse, were indicted a second time on an array of charges, including extortion and conspiracy to bomb buildings.

On June 8, 1922, Quesse and the other BSEIU leadership were convicted of conspiracy and sentenced to one to five years in prison. In 1924, Quesse was pardoned by Republican Governor Len Small. Defenders of the convicts claim law enforcement officials ignored evidence of employer crimes after the employers' association pressured city officials to break the union and used the public relations campaign to whip up anti-union public sentiment. The employer organization's campaign against BSEIU continued, but the union's extensive political activity (Quesse had founded the Cook County Wage Earners' League to act as a political action committee for labor unions in the city) prior to the organizing drive had won it supporters in City Hall. Quesse's ties to Republican Mayor William Hale Thompson helped protect the union.

The state again attempted to indict Quesse in 1924, but nothing came of the charges as Quesse's political backers helped quash the indictment.

## Death

In the last three years of his life, Quesse built BSEIU into the most powerful labor union in Chicago. His political influence grew not only throughout the city, but the state of Illinois as well.

Quesse fell ill with cancer in late 1926. In January 1927, he was hospitalized at Columbus Memorial Hospital. After his condition was recognized as terminal, he was allowed to return home on February 13. He died at 1:00 a.m. on the morning of February 16.

## BSEIU successors

Quesse's close friend, Chicago City Alderman Oscar Nelson, who was at his side when he died, was named interim president of BSEIU. Jerry Horan, a BSEIU organizer whose primary job was to act as Quesse's chauffeur, was elected Quesse's successor as BSEIU president on September 6, 1927. William McFetridge, Quesse's nephew, became president of BSEIU in 1940.

title: The Fourth Way (book)

abstract: The Fourth Way (1957) is a book about the Fourth Way, a system of self-development as introduced by Greek-Armenian philosopher G.I. Gurdjieff. It is a compilation of the lectures of P. D. Ouspensky at London and New York City between the years 1921 through 1946, published posthumously by his students in 1957. The term "The Fourth Way" has also come to be used as a general descriptive term for the body of ideas and teachings which Gurdjieff brought to the west from his study of eastern schools. Ouspensky was given the task of bringing these ideas to a wider audience in an unadulterated form by Gurdjieff. The Fourth Way is considered to be the most comprehensive statement of Gurdjieff's ideas as taught by Ouspensky. The book consists of adaptations of Ouspensky's lectures, and the accompanying question and answer sessions.

## The Fourth Way

The 'Fourth Way' to which the title refers is a method of inner development - "the way of the sly man," as Gurdjieff described it. Rather than the three commonly known ways of enlightenment—physical, spiritual, and emotional—The Fourth Way presents a new way of reaching enlightenment, a more effective combination of the three known ways. This way is to be followed under the ordinary conditions of everyday life, as opposed from the three traditional ways that call for retirement from the world: those of the fakir, the monk, and the yogi, which Gurdjieff maintained could only result in partial, unbalanced development of man's potential.

## Introduction(s) by Charles Henry Hull

The book opens with an 'Introduction' by the editor, Charles Henry Hull, which gives biographic information on Petty and Graunt, and an extensive recapitulation of the debate concerning the authorship of the "Observations upon the Bills of Mortality".

The biography of Petty (p. xiii- xxxiii) is among many other sources, based on some early publications, like the *Athenae Oxoniensis* by Anthony Wood (published 1691), Petty's will, first published in the *Tracts relating chiefly to Ireland* (first published 1769), the *Brief Lives* of John Aubrey, on Petty's *History of the Down Survey* (published 1851 by Thomas Aiskew Larcom for the Irish Archaeological Society) and on the *Life of Sir William Petty 1623 - 1687* by Lord Edmond Fitzmaurice (published 1895).

The second section of the 'Introduction' (p. xxxiv-xxxviii) gives a short biography of John Graunt, the author of the *Observations upon the Bills of Mortality* (first published 1662).

Hull spends quite some space on a detailed investigation of "the authorship of the *Observations upon the Bills of Mortality*". There are certain grounds for assigning the authorship of the *Observations* to William Petty. Some contemporaries of Petty have given rise to the idea that Petty was the author, like John Evelyn, John Aubrey, Edmund Halley and Bishop Gilbert Burnet. But there are also a number of contemporary testimonies in favour of Graunt. In the first place by Petty himself, in two letters to Sir Robert Southwell, but also by Sir Peter Pett. The final conclusion of Hull is that Graunt was definitely the author of the *Observations*.

After a short section on Petty's letters and other manuscripts, the 'Introduction' gives an overview of the whole body of economic writings of Petty.

The 'Introduction' finishes with two sections on Graunt and the (London) Bills of Mortality.

Most of the separate texts in the *Economic Writings* also have an introduction by Hull.

## About the economic writings of Petty

A year after the publication of *The Economic Writings*, in 1900, in an article in *The Quarterly Journal of Economics* entitled 'Petty's Place in the History of Economic Theory', Hull proposed a division of the economic writings of Petty in three 'chronological' groups:

* **The two works of the early 1660s**:
    + *A Treatise of Taxes and Contributions* (London, 1662); a number of editions of the *Treatise* appeared during Petty's life: 1662, 1667, 1679 and 1685. Although Petty later showed dissatisfaction with this work, “presumably because it did not bring him the influence and office he wanted, (...) the *Treatise* remains his most important (economic) work and deserves to be regarded as a major achievement and landmark in the history of economic thought.”
    + *Verbum Sapienti* (written 1665, published London, 1691)
* **The two (statistical) works of the early 1670s**:
    + *The Political Anatomy of Ireland* (written 1671-2, published London, 1690)
    + *Political Arithmetic* (written 1672-6, published London, 1690)
* **Several works on population**, including:
    + *Essays in Political Arithmetic* (1680s)
    + *An Essay Concerning the Multiplication of Mankind* (1682)

and finally the "pamphlet": * + *Quantulumcunque concerning Money* (written 1682, published 1695).

## Critical reception

Soon after the publication of *The Economic Writings* a couple of reviews were written. James Laurence Laughlin published a short review in the *Journal of Political Economy* in 1899, in which he wrote that Hull's edition of Petty's writings "is done with an erudition, accuracy, intelligence, and thoroughness which leave nothing to be desired."

abstract: West Village Historic District is a national historic district located at Buffalo in Erie County, New York. The district is a 19th-century residential neighborhood within walking distance of the central business district and Lake Erie. It is one of Buffalo's oldest and most intact residential areas, having been developed on the site of the estate of the city's first mayor Ebenezer Johnson and South Village of Black Rock. It contains 102 structures built between 1854 and 1914, most of which are detached single-family dwellings, with about a dozen apartment buildings. The district reflects architectural styles of the late 19th century including the Second Empire, Gothic Revival, and Italianate style. Included in the district is Johnson Park, redesigned by Frederick Law Olmsted about 1876, and Hutchinson Central Technical High School. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980. The West Village Historic District is also a Certified Local Historic District, with slightly different boundaries than the National Register listed district. The local district was designated in 1979 and then was certified by the National Park Service in 1983.

# Samuel Green (priest)

The Reverend **Samuel Frederick Leighton Green**, MC and Bar (6 April 1882 – 29 May 1929) was a British Army chaplain who served in France and Belgium between 1916 and 1919.

## Birth and education

Green was born in Greenwich in 1882, the elder son of Catherine Green and Frederick Green, a civil servant at the War Office. He was educated at King's College School, London, and St Paul's Theological College, University of London.

## Early chaplaincy

In 1904 Green was appointed assistant curate at St Bartholomew's church, Heigham, Norwich as a deacon of the Church of England. In 1905 he was ordained a priest by the Rt Revd John Sheepshanks, bishop of Norwich. In 1912 he transferred to St Barnabas's Church, Heigham as assistant priest to the Revd Charles Compton Lanchester.

## First World War

In August 1915 the Revd Lanchester went over to France to serve as an ambulance driver for the Red Cross, regularly writing up his experiences for the parish magazine, an example Green would follow assiduously for the next three years. After Lanchester returned to the parish at the end of 1915 Green volunteered to join the Army Chaplains' Department. He was commissioned with the rank of Temporary Chaplain to the Forces 4th Class in February 1916 and sent over to France almost immediately.

His first post was to a Casualty Clearing Station (CCS 22) in Aire-sur-la-Lys and later in Bruay, where he also acted as padre to RFC Squadron No. 18. In December 1916 Green was transferred to frontline service with the 1/4th Battalion, London Regiment, a Territorial battalion recruited from Tower Hamlets. He remained the padre of this unit through to its decommission in 1919. During this period he was present at the battles of Arras, Passchendaele, 1st and 2nd Cambrai, the *Kaiserschlacht* and Bapaume. He was wounded by shrapnel at Arras on Easter Sunday, April 1917, while conducting divine service; gassed near Bullecourt in the Hindenburg line in August 1918 and also contracted trench fever. He was held in high regard by the officers and men of the 1/4th Londons. After the war the official historian of the battalion wrote of him:

His constant selfless devotion to duty and his kindly personality had made him a true friend to one and all, and the example of his simple life and magnificent courage in action had been a real inspiration to all — and that included the whole Battalion — who had been brought into contact with him.

Green was awarded the Military Cross for gallantry on two occasions (Gazetted 1 January 1919 and 2 April 1919). His second (Bar) MC was given a full citation in the *London Gazette* on 9 December 1919:

For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty at Sebourquiaux on 4 November 1918. During the advance he attended to the wounded, frequently under fire. He went forward and stayed for over an hour with a badly wounded signaller lying out in the open under shell fire, until the stretcher-bearers could fetch him away.

Between March 1916 and February 1919 Green wrote one letter per month for publication in St Barnabas's parish magazine, detailing his experiences on the Western Front. These provide a vivid picture of the work of an Army Chaplain on the Western Front, in hospitals, in the trenches and on the battlefield. He used his parish letters to promote a "Fag-Mag" fund to buy cigarettes, magazines and other comforts for the troops in his unit. This endeavour earned him the nickname "the Heigham Woodbine Willie" among his parishioners. A selection of his war-time parish letters, *The Happy Padre*, was published in Norwich in 1929. A complete edition and biography, *Somewhere in Flanders*, was published in 2005.

On leaving the Army Chaplains' Department in 1919 he was appointed an Honorary Chaplain to the Forces. He also did much work to support the British Legion.

## Post-First World War

Green returned to his chaplaincy at St Barnabas in 1919 and continued his parish work there until 1921 when he was appointed rector of All Saints church, Mundesley, Norfolk, where he remained until his death, after a short illness, in 1929, aged 47. He was buried in Mundesley churchyard with full military honours provided by the British Legion and comrades from the 1/4th Londons.

In 2005 a commemorative plaque recording Green's life and service was placed on the north wall of St Barnabas's Church, Heigham, Norfolk, alongside the parish's Great War Roll of Honour.

In March 2014 BBC Radio Norfolk began to serialise The Rev. Green's war-time letters each week during its "Sunday Breakfast" religious programme as part of the BBC's 100th anniversary of the First World War commemorations. A 3-CD set of the broadcast readings, 'Dear People ...', has been produced by St Barnabas church in Norwich, see: http://www.stbarnabasnorwich.org/letters-cd/
