George Orwell's Exploitation Of Two Propaganda Techniques In Animal Farm And 1984, Linda Ann Ramsey

English Language and Literature ETDs

Two recurring patterns in George Orwell’s Animal Farm and 1984 are counted and analyzed in relationship to Orwell’s theme: in Animal Farm, a passive phrase with the agent deleted and replaced by “it”, and in 1984, a negative pattern beginning with “it.” These patterns are shown to e typical of propaganda. The effectiveness of passive and negative patterns as propaganda is explained through a discussion of psycholinguistic research on comprehension time.

A Survey Of Adolescent Reading Habits And Influences : A Study In Selected Parochial Secondary Schools, Sylvia J. Davis

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

Adolescent literature, written by authors with a concern for the illiteracy in the United States, and read by students growing in their ability to comprehend life, is a vital link in the personal exploration and adjustment needed by young persons as they proceed into adulthood. Many polls have been conducted by teachers and librarians to learn which authors and topics are meaningful to the young student at the secondary level. It is hoped that this study might assist the teacher in understanding the reading habits of students in a parochial atmosphere by providing a background to evaluate assignments given and …

Mythlore: A Journal of J.R.R. Tolkien, C.S. Lewis, Charles Williams, and Mythopoeic Literature

Creative Imagination In Joyce Cary's Trilogies, E. Christian

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

This thesis describes Joyce Cary's theories of creative imagination and how the characters in his two trilogies reflect those theories. To Cary, creative imagination is essential for society's improvement. He believes that everyone--not just artists and writers--can have creative imagination, and in his novels he shows the results of living with and without it.

Joyce Cary was born in 1888, in Ireland. His mother died when he was nine, but his close-knit family gave him the security he needed to develop his creativity. As a boy he voraciously read adventure stories and led a gang. Throughout his life he dealt …

The Theory Of Contraries In Robert Frost's Narratives, Peggy E. Wahlen

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

Robert Frost's theory of contraries pervades both his short, lyric poems and his longer, narrative poems. This theory, which is the idea that life consists of two opposing elements, is recognized by the critics to be one of the most common themes running through his lyric poems. However, the narrative poems are almost exclusively approached critically from the standpoint of form and style.

This thesis shows that the theory of contraries is an important concept in the narratives. The framework of Frost's theory has been applied to three areas pertinent to his treatment of the men and women in his …

Spring Into Summer : A Novel, Jeff Wuorio

Senior Scholar Papers

Spring into Summer is a novel based on my experiences as a student living in London for a year. The central character, an American under-graduate student studying history, attempts to complete a piece of work by his older brother who is killed in a car accident several months prior to his brother's departure for England. The narrative traces the younger brother's efforts and eventual failure to work on the history; in so doing, he also fails to become more like his older brother whom he greatly loved and admired. Thus, a doppelganger, or "Double" of sorts is used.
