John Millington Synge: A Bibliography of Published Criticism

Set in the Southwest against the backdrop of McCarthyism, this novel combines the political and the love affairs of Ben Cohen, torn between a wealthy Kentucky belle and a New Mexico union organizer. Ben is a student at the University of Colorado, where the president is dismissing faculty and staff for allegedly maintaining subversive associations and opinions. The staff is supportive of the Salt of the Earth strike in Hanover, New Mexico. When members of the Mine, Mill, and Smelter Union arrive in Denver to raise money for the strikers, Ben meets Esperanza Morales, devoutly Catholic and unhappily married. Soon they are desperately in love.
Dark Matters also looks at the political parallels between the McCarthyist United States and the antidemocratic behavior of the Soviet Union and the Warsaw Pact countries. In a postscript set in Prague, 1969, we see the suppression of the Dubcek government by the Soviets and their allies. Sociologists say that similar groups and governments define themselves by exaggerating their differences. McCarthyism and Communism, for all the vitriol of their opposition, had much in common, as this novel shows through two passionate love stories.

In 1910 the Cohen family, in search of the Golden Medina, undertakes a dangerous journey from Russia to the United States, where the new world exposes family secrets, cultural conflicts, the corruption of the American Dream, and love's divides.Traveling in steerage to Ellis Island, the family endures the poverty and dirt of New York City and retreats to a farm in southern New Jersey--to find not the agricultural Eden they were promised, but Babylon. Told in several voices, this tale bears witness to a new generation learning to find hope in a land that often sacrifices human decency for profit and greed.

"[The Weighty Word Book] will appeal to kids who want to sound as smart as they are. It offers a clever, funny way to introduce new words into the vocabulary. . . . There's one word for every letter of the alphabet--wait until you see what they do with dogmatic, juxtapose and zealot."--The Gazette (Colorado Springs, Colorado) 
 "Each of these twenty-six short stories takes an elaborate, circuitous path that leads to a 'weighty' one-word punch line. . . . It's a creative and humorous approach to vocabulary building, and a natural lead in to having students create their own tall tales with multisyllabic conclusions."--School Library Journal

These are five of the twenty-six words, one for each letter of the alphabet, that appear in Weighty Words, Too. As with the earlier Weighty Word Book, the stories, often fanciful, help young readers build their vocabularies. 
"Hibernate" tells the tale of Nathaniel, a very energetic Canadian bear, who plays in the snow with the other bears. Soon all the bears tire and want to sleep, with the exception of Nate. "He's hyper," one grizzly bear observes. "If it's winter sleep you want," advises Nathaniel, "then I suggest you do the opposite from me, hyper Nate." So, whenever animals sleep through the winter, think of "hyper Nate," and you will remember the word HIBERNATE.
