Greetings From Eureka!: A Story Quartet And Critical Afterword., Roman Sauls
College of Arts & Sciences Senior Honors Theses
This project details the narrative decisions made within a quarter of my own stories, with special attention paid to cross-story relationships, the dynamics of linked short story collections, and the elements of craft I have honed while at the University of Louisville.

Current research suggests that students’ enjoyment of writing will positively impact their writing achievement (Graham, 2007; Bulut, 2017).

A total of nineteen eleventh-grade students were interviewed in three focus groups.

Students were asked …

This was a prolific year for Schumann compositionally, in part due to his marriage to Clara Schumann who was one of Europe’s most preeminent piano …
