English Theses & Dissertations
Lowrider is a collection of interlinking short stories, adding up to a novelistic whole, which follows man in his late-20s, who is left paralyzed after a motorcycle accident. Set primarily in a Virginia Beach nursing home, but also in various locales around that city, the protagonist, nicknamed Youngblood by the members of his wheelchair gang, attempts to rehabilitate himself while confronted with the realities of age and isolation. Several themes are explored, including identity, love, permanence and transience, physical and emotional paralysis, and, ultimately, self-acceptance. The stories also aim to depict aspects of young adult life in America, when societal …

Almost Touching, Almost Free, Dustin M. Hoffman
Dissertations
This collection of stories delves into themes of the working class. These stories of working-class characters range from realism to fabulism to experimental, because the story of working-class people is complex and always shifting. Some of the stories travel backward in time to shepherds and traveling crusaders, while others take on much more contemporary voices, speaking from the point of view of sex workers, carpenters, office workers, ice cream van drivers, and salesmen. If these stories have one thing in common, it is that the characters are searching for identity, for a concrete sense of self that seems to have …

Veritas: An Adolescent Novel In A Biblical Worldview Context, Tessanna H. Curtis
Senior Honors Theses
The secular world of literature is saturated with books sending adolescents a host of mixed signals. Contemporary young readers would benefit from literature that in some way reflects biblical truth and conveys a message that glorifies God. Such notions led to the writing of a young adult fantasy novel that introduces themes and plots that do not conflict with a Christian worldview. The protagonist does not simply react to situations around her, but is driven by specific desires that are not so easily obtained. Unlike many modern adolescent fantasies, the world is fully developed and populated by a variety of …

Old Dominion University
Hush, Valerie Wilkinson
English Theses & Dissertations
Hush explores the rural Pennsylvania landscape in seven short stories that strive to slice the characters open and take a brief, brutal look inside. Teenagers lounge on rocks and rattlesnakes twist in cages. Rivers freeze and houses speak. A hunter loses his family and a basketball star loses his shot. And a young girl learns about sex amidst a minefield of guilt and abuse. Story to story, the characters harbor secrets and shame as they search for forgiveness, for redemption, and for some precious measure of grace.

Phantom Islands A Collection Of Short Stories, Marie Buckner
Dissertations and Theses
This collection of short stories takes its name from various islands historically believed to exist and at one time or other located on maps, sometimes remaining on them for centuries, but later removed after they were proved to be illusory. Reports of these islands usually came from sailors as they explored new realms, mistaking actual islands for imaginary ones or by geographical error. Illusions can persist unchallenged for ages. A similar yet modern illusion is the persistence of vision, a phenomenon by which an afterimage, say, on a screen, is thought to persist on the retina for approximately one twenty-fifth …
