Revelation And The Left Behind Novels, Craig R. Koester
Revelation And The Left Behind Novels, Craig R. Koester
Faculty Publications
The Left Behind novels appeal because they affirm God's control of history in the face of violence and moral decay. Our challenge is to be more biblical than Left Behind, not less biblical to hear Revelation's call to persevere in the face of evil and to trust in the final victory of God and the Lamb.
Resurrected: An In-Depth Study Of Fitzgerald's Female Found In The Basil Stories And The Great Gatsby, Therese Fields
Resurrected: An In-Depth Study Of Fitzgerald's Female Found In The Basil Stories And The Great Gatsby, Therese Fields
Seton Hall University Dissertations and Theses (ETDs)
When people hear the name F. Scott Fitzgerald they quickly think of his masterpiece, The Great Gatsby. Fitzgerald's Gatsby is the great American novel. Why? It withstands time and the changes of contemporary society. This novel moves us, shakes us, and reminds us of our enlightening dreams and the realistic truths behind them. Why do readers connect with and feel empathy for the flawed Jay Gatsby? We, like Gatsby, hope for the green light and all that it holds in store for us. Gatsby is driven by the green light, which represents his hope to change the past. It is …

Memories, Moments And Miracles As A Source Of Hope In John Cheever's Falconer, Adam Drent
Memories, Moments And Miracles As A Source Of Hope In John Cheever's Falconer, Adam Drent
English Seminar Capstone Research Papers
Though John Cheever's Falconer might seem like the furthest thing from escapist fiction, it may, in fact, provide a means of escape for those who feel engulfed in a world of injustice, unfairness and cruelty. Falconer is about a college professor named Ezekiel Farragut who is imprisoned in Falconer Prison for murdering his brother. The novel chronicles the major events and defining moments of his time in Falconer, culminating with his eventual escape and return to freedom. Falconer, published in 1975, can be interpreted as a reaction to the hopelessness and helplessness that gripped the hearts of many Americans …

Nomadismos Lingüisticos Y Culturales En Yo-Yo Boing De Giannina Braschi (Linguistic And Cultural Monadisms In 'Yo-Yo Boing' By Giannina Braschi), Laura R. Loustau
World Languages and Cultures Faculty Articles and Research
"En la novela Yo-Yo Boing Giannina Braschi plantea un bilingüismo e identidad nomádica. Huye del concepto de permanencia y arraigo, definiéndose en sus personajes como un ser errante y proponiendo una yuxtaposición lingüística propia. Braschi utiliza un code-switching para subrayar la complejidad de vivir simultáneamente en más de una cultura y una lengua. El concepto teórico que da impulso a este artículo es la definición sobre la conciencia nómada que plantea Rosi Braidotti. Para Braidotti lo que define el estado nomádico es la subversión de convenciones fijas y estáticas. Braschi, en Yo-Yo Boing subvierte las convenciones lingüísticas al incorporar un …

Maine Stream: A Bibliographical Reception Study Of Sarah Orne Jewett, Kathrine Cole Aydelott
Maine Stream: A Bibliographical Reception Study Of Sarah Orne Jewett, Kathrine Cole Aydelott
Sarah Orne Jewett: Bibliography
The critical reception of Sarah Orne Jewett has oscillated dramatically over the last century. Contemporary reviews praised her as a writer whose appreciation for and deep understanding of New England and its people transcended local concerns and brought sympathetic, realistic depictions of Maine to the far coasts of the United States and Europe. Literary critics from the 1930s and 1940s, however, stereotyped Jewett as "an old-fashioned local colorist" whose writing was too simplistic to warrant critical attention. Since the 1970s, however, and particularly thanks to feminist literary critics, Jewett has been rediscovered and is now well reestablished in the canon …
Facing Tough Realities And Inspiring Change: The Comic Satire Of Sherman Alexie, Jill Alison Henry
Facing Tough Realities And Inspiring Change: The Comic Satire Of Sherman Alexie, Jill Alison Henry
Theses Digitization Project
Examines the comic modes Sherman Alexie uses, the purposes behind his critical, yet humorous, commentary, the multiple audiences toward which his satire is aimed, and the desired outcomes of his satire. Explores the theme of alcoholism in Alexie's writings that plays a role in the degradation of Native American lives in modern times and why alcoholism has become a problem for the Native American community. Also, examines why Native Americans have become so dependent on White handouts and how this passivity and acceptance has created problems in Indian society. Finally, offers insights into Alexie's use of humor as a means …

How Much Does Chaos Scare You?: Politics, Religion, And Philosophy In The Fiction Of Philip K. Dick, Aaron Barlow
How Much Does Chaos Scare You?: Politics, Religion, And Philosophy In The Fiction Of Philip K. Dick, Aaron Barlow
Publications and Research
"Certain themes appear with surprising consistency in Dick’s fiction. They crop up in the early short stories, called by some critics, including Kim Stanley Robinson, Dick’s “apprentice” fiction. They appear in the novels of Dick’s most productive period, the 1960s. And they are a part of the last novels, the VALIS trilogy and The Transmigration of Timothy Archer—written when Dick was, according to Eric Rabkin and others, insane. These themes fall into three inter-related categories: metaphysics, religion, and politics. The first concerns perception and the world, and the individual’s interaction with both. The second, the moralities of creator/creation relationships. The …

Split Infinities: The Comedy Of Performative Identity In Maxine Hong Kingston's *Tripmaster Monkey*, Jonna Mackin
Split Infinities: The Comedy Of Performative Identity In Maxine Hong Kingston's *Tripmaster Monkey*, Jonna Mackin
Dr. Jonna C Mackin
The article discusses a quarrel between Frank Chin and Maxine Hong Kingston regarding Chinese American Identity and goes on to analyze Kingston's novel *Tripmaster Monkey, His Fake Book* as a case where an analysis of the comedy leads to questions about her professed multiculturalism. Kingston's jokes reveal hidden aggression in the text and a tendency to obscure or erase African American cultural icons.
