Honor In The Face Of Death: Hemingway’S Moral Code In Death In The Afternoon And For Whom The Bell Tolls, Nias Achorn
Honors Theses and Capstones
This paper analyzes the code of honor in bullfighting as it is explained in Death in the Afternoon by Ernest Hemingway. It then describes the cathartic emotion given to the audience after an honorable performance and discusses the implications of this emotion. Finally, this paper applies the previous analyses of Death in the Afternoon to an analysis of For Whom the Bell Tolls in order to explain how the novel suggests Hemingway's understanding of the Spanish way of life.
The Individual Voice: The Expression Of Authority Through Dialects, Idiolects, And Borrowed Terminology In Chaucer’S Canterbury Tales, Jacqueline Cordell
The Individual Voice: The Expression Of Authority Through Dialects, Idiolects, And Borrowed Terminology In Chaucer’S Canterbury Tales, Jacqueline Cordell
Honors Theses and Capstones
Using Chaucer's Canterbury Tales, this paper seeks to demonstrate how language affects the social construction of identity in literature within the late Middle Ages. To accomplish this it looks at how characters (particularly those in the Reeve's and Miller's Tales) attempt to give themselves greater authority over their peers in instances of social conflict by either changing their dialect or, by using terminology borrowed from power-imbued languages like French and Latin. The paper also discusses changes in authority outside the literature by examining the impact of scribal idiolect on the presentation and perception of Chaucer's individual characters.

Honors Theses and Capstones
This thesis is a culmination of my development as a writer at the University of New Hampshire. It explores the idea of the self and how it applies to writing. Because I am legally changing my name after graduation, these poem have come to represent "Joanne Deming" as a writer before she becomes "Joanne Wood."
