Creative Writing And An Overlooked Population, Charlie Sweet, Hal Blythe
Creative Writing And An Overlooked Population, Charlie Sweet, Hal Blythe
Hal Blythe
As a regional institution, our university's historic mission is to train area teachers who must operate under the auspices of the Kentucky Educational Reform Act, which mandates extensive writing portfolios i Grades 4,7, and 12. While these portfolios may include as much as 50% creative writing or work employing creative writing techniques, a recent survey of teachers responsible for guiding students revealed that not a single teacher had ever taken a course in creative writing pedagogy and only a handful had even had any formal training in creative writing. We suggested that this lack of teacher training was one reason …

A Very Special Christmas, Hal Charles
A Very Special Christmas, Hal Charles
Charlie Sweet
For more than an hour Alyssa had been sitting in front of our picture window without moving. In the darkened pane I couldn't help but notice the contrasting reflections-the bright lights of the Christmas tree and the hollow , unblinking eyes of my nine-year-old daughter. I could have told myself that she was mesmerized by the snowflakes drifting down like angel wings, but that would have been lying

“Double Or Phantom?: Transgenerational Haunting In Mary Shelley’S Frankenstein”, Boyd J. Petersen
Boyd J Petersen
The psychoanalitical theories of Nicholas Abraham and Maria Torok offer a new interpretive lens through which to consider Frankenstein's monster: as a psychic manifestation of trauma--both that which Victor Frankenstein has inherited from his parents and that which the text inherited from its parent, Mary Shelley.
What Lord Byron Learned From Lady Caroline Lamb, Paul Douglass
What Lord Byron Learned From Lady Caroline Lamb, Paul Douglass
Paul Douglass
Lady Caroline Lamb fictionalized the Byronic persona in Glenarvon (1816) and gave voice to the female characters that remain largely silent in Byron’s early work. Byron responded to her mimicry and to the female perspective of Glenarvon by creating a feminized hero and strong speaking roles for women in Don Juan, though his stated purpose was to undermine, not uphold, feminine power.

Continuing Education In Technical Communication, John Battalio
Continuing Education In Technical Communication, John Battalio
John T. Battalio
In the November 1995 issue of Technical Communication, Krestas, Fisher, and Hackos described the "dramatic changes" occurring in business and industry. These changes were shifting the focus of continuing education toward topics of leadership and management. Ten years later, our field is evolving more quickly than ever, focused now not on topics such as those described in 1995, but on the very nature of technical communication itself.

Sermonizing Women: Christian Civic Virtue And The Public Sphere, Adrianne Wadewitz
Sermonizing Women: Christian Civic Virtue And The Public Sphere, Adrianne Wadewitz
Adrianne Wadewitz
Although often thought of as a masculine genre, women writers effectively employed the sermon not only to enter doctrinal and other religious debates but also to create a broader space for women within the public sphere. In using this distinctively religious genre, women writers as diverse as Hannah More, Mary Wollstonecraft and Anna Laetitia Barbauld gave a moral legitimacy to the participation of women in a wide range of public issues. Their sermons presented an image of the reforming woman who could shape the public sphere through religion; constructing a moral public sphere became a Christian duty for women, as …

The Lone Ranger, Charlie Sweet
Charlie Sweet
The Fifties in America surveys the events and people of all of North America during the 1950's. This three-volume publication, Salem Press's second reference set on a twentieth century decade, is modeled on the award-winning The Sixties in America (1999). The 1950's are often portrayed as an uneventful era in North American history - a period of political and cultural conservatism. The decade was in fact a period of political turbulence, mounting world conflict, and cultural change. The 1950's experienced the Cold War, McCarthyism and a trend toward the suppression of civil liberties.

Visual Synecdoche And Metonymy: Rhetoric For Stage-Setting Images, Russell Willerton
Visual Synecdoche And Metonymy: Rhetoric For Stage-Setting Images, Russell Willerton
Russell Willerton
The recent trend of incorporating more visuals into communication challenges technical communicators, who must now possess both verbal and visual literacy. Despite all the recent scholarship on visual aspects of technical communication, technical communicators lack thorough guidelines for selecting and composing effective images that convey thematic and conceptual information, or what Schriver calls "stage-setting" images. This article reviews existing literature in visual communication and reports results of a study that assessed readers' opinions of themes conveyed by specific example images. It then suggests that the rhetorical tropes of metonymy and synecdoche can be used to identify images for conveying certain …

Children’s Literature of the Harlem Renaissance is a timely addition to schol-arship on both African American literature and children’s literatureof the early twentieth century. The scope of Katharine Capshaw Smith’swork makes it a particularly welcome follow-up to DonnaRaeMacCann’s award-winning White Supremacy in Children’s Literature(Routledge 1998), which focused on the relationship of African Ameri-can children to mainstream children’s literature from 1830 to 1900.Dr. Smith moves us to the next stage, focusing on the emergence ofan African American children’s literature in the first half of the twen-tieth century. Smith looks at major players in African Americanchildren’s literature in roughly chronological order, starting …
