Your #1 Favorite Girl, Abby Plowman
Theses and Dissertations
Your #1 Favorite Girl is a memoir that attempts to answer the question “What is a late bloomer?” To do so, it tells the story of Violet, a fictionalized characterization of the author, and her friendships with five different people: Valentine, Daisy, Rose, Sunflower, and Sage. The stories in the memoir occur over a period of about ten years, but they are limited slices of that decade rather than a complete encapsulation of it. The first friendship, with Valentine, takes place during childhood and establishes a pattern of relationships characterized by enchantment and codependence. The work is meant to examine …

House Of Grief, Megan Eralie
All Graduate Plan B and other Reports
This collection of essays examines how I house the grief for the losses of my religion and my grandfather. My first essay, “Body of Feathers,” looks at my body as a house of shame and how I transformed my body into something that could be mine instead. It explores a series of moments from my life where I felt disconnected from my body, usually because of rules or expectations set by someone other than me. In the essay, I move from feeling like I had no control of my body, to taking back control and experiencing my body as mine …

At a mahogany bar in Collins Saloon of San Francisco’s Montgomery Street, a successful businessman James G. Fair traced a trail of water droplets for his partner Alfred E.
