Braedon's Day, Braedon Baker Feb 2024

Braedon's Day, Braedon Baker

ENGL 1101 Showcase

The sound of my 7:00 a.m. alarm brought me back to consciousness and out of my dreams. My mouth was parched, making my desire to fall right back asleep irrelevant. The water felt healing as it went down. I got up in a daze, struggling to find my way to the small orange dot indicating the light switch in my dorm room. A singular bulb illuminated the entire room, blinding me briefly. With my vision returned, I twisted off the top of the smooth glass container to obtain one of my morning supplements. Moringa to start, then comes the probiotics, …


Sebastian's Day, Sebastian Tenjo Feb 2024

Sebastian's Day, Sebastian Tenjo

ENGL 1101 Showcase

I started my day hearing something new, it wasn’t my regular alarm, it was different. I had changed the sound of my alarm the night before because the default iPhone alarm has gotten old to me. So, I get up and reach for my phone to turn off this new soothing alarm. I scroll on my phone watching TikTok’s repeatedly for a while until the constant scrolling and different sounds gets annoying and I then play music by Feid to get ready. I make my way down three flights of stairs, walk out the University Village suites, and walk past …


An Ordinary Day Of Sheldon Jerome Downing Ii’S Life At Marietta High School, Sheldon Jerom Downing Ii Feb 2024

An Ordinary Day Of Sheldon Jerome Downing Ii’S Life At Marietta High School, Sheldon Jerom Downing Ii

ENGL 1101 Showcase

I am jarred awake by the piercing mechanical sounds of a pinball rattling away in a pinball machine. Every few seconds, a flurry of concussive noises plays. As I face the ceiling, I try to ignore it, still tired after 5 inadequate hours of rest. I bargain with the consequences of just hitting the Stop button on my phone and retreating to the covers. Then I sigh when I realize that not only had I not checked how much time I had, but it was also hot. No, it was unbearably hot. The reality that spring was now summer and …


The Average Tuesday, Tucker Johnson Feb 2024

The Average Tuesday, Tucker Johnson

ENGL 1101 Showcase

The numbers on the screen read that it was 8:30. Just a few moments ago I was awoken by a sudden alarm from my phone. I stared at the screen and a scowl formed on my face. I knew that my 8:00 alarm had not awoken me or if the 8:00 alarm even worked. Anyway, I unplugged my grey rectangle from its long, white charger. I sat up in my bed with my brown and orange blanket still covering me. I looked forward towards the wall.

Jacob's Day, Jacob Rodriguez Feb 2024

Jacob's Day, Jacob Rodriguez

ENGL 1101 Showcase

The sun shines through my curtains, with its light waking me up from my sleep. The feeling of being able to wake up naturally through sunlight is something that I’m going to miss. Being awoken by an alarm and the greasiness and unpleasantness that comes with it is something I’m not looking forward to. The first thing I do when I wake up is grab my phone. I then check the group chat I have with my friends for making plans. I’m normally the one now that urges to make plans. This summer I’ve lived a carefree life that’s out …

A Day In The Life Of Me, Jake Patten Feb 2024

A Day In The Life Of Me, Jake Patten

ENGL 1101 Showcase

As my alarm blares at 8:30 a.m. on a cold autumn morning, I groan and reluctantly open my eyes. My bed is entrapping me in its warmth, and the thought of getting up feels like a betrayal to my body. I look around my room and see a soft, golden hue as the sun peeks through the blinds. I lay in my bed contemplating, “Should I get up for class? Or should I go back to bed?” Just as I start to drift back to sleep, the roar of leaf blowers echoes outside. The ear-piercing sound cuts through the silence, …

How To Do A Muscle Up, Youssef Moussa Feb 2024

How To Do A Muscle Up, Youssef Moussa

ENGL 1101 Showcase

Calisthenics is a form of strength training in which you master your body weight. Some examples are push-ups, sit ups, and pullups. The more advanced version of the pullup is the muscle up, where you pull yourself completely over the bar. It may sound easy to think about, but it takes people months or years to be able to do it. A muscle up uses all your upper body, starting with the motion of a pullup and then turning it into a dip to lift your upper body above the bar. Many compositions teach “How to do a muscle up”, …


Chitterin’ Lichts: Text And Intertext In Sangschaw And Penny Wheep, Patrick Crotty Feb 2024

Chitterin’ Lichts: Text And Intertext In Sangschaw And Penny Wheep, Patrick Crotty

Studies in Scottish Literature

The essay takes a new look at an old subject, the role of dictionaries in Hugh MacDiarmid’s so-called ‘early lyrics’. While demonstrating that the poet’s exploration of the lexicographical remains of Scots was more thorough-going and systematic than previous accounts have suggested, it positions his recourse to dictionaries in the intertextual habit that links the lyrics both to the English sonnets and prose sketches of the young Christopher Grieve and the encyclopaedic long poems to which MacDiarmid turned after abandoning Scots in the 1930s. The article attends in particular to the wide-angle allusiveness of Sangschaw and Penny Wheep, arguing that …

The Ghost Of John Nisbet: Hugh Macdiarmid’S First Published Work, Alan Riach Feb 2024

The Ghost Of John Nisbet: Hugh Macdiarmid’S First Published Work, Alan Riach

Studies in Scottish Literature

Discusses the first published item, a short play, signed with the name 'Hugh M'acDiamid', and sets in its biographical and historical context just after the First World War and in the literary context of 1922 and international modernism, in 1922, viewing it as 'an encapsulation of its moment, and most importantly as an elegiac tribute to a friend,' arguing that 'Performing "Nisbet" as a play intimates the drama of fractured modernist selfhood implicit in the written text,' and concluding that it should be seen 'in the whole national context of Scotland finding a way towards a reconstruction of itself, a …


The Real Christopher: Sleights Of Text And Mind Behind The Persona Of Hugh Macdiarmid, Alexander Linklater Feb 2024

The Real Christopher: Sleights Of Text And Mind Behind The Persona Of Hugh Macdiarmid, Alexander Linklater

Studies in Scottish Literature

Argues that it was the persona of Hugh MacDiarmid, as much as his poetry, which brought about the Scottish Literary Renaissance of the 1920s, but that behind the extravagant personality lay an obscure biographical puzzle. Christopher Murray Grieve possessed little personal resemblance to his pseudonymous self and even less interest in what motivated him to create such an antagonist. In this essay, the author of a new life of MacDiarmid explores how the dominant figure of 20th century Scottish literature composed himself out of found texts, psychological misdirection and confected autobiography.
