Examining Katniss Everdeen's Gender Ambiguity In The Hunger Games : How Suzanne Collins Utilizes The Ya Genre To Resist Feminine Stereotypes, Moriah K. Mcdonald
Examining Katniss Everdeen's Gender Ambiguity In The Hunger Games : How Suzanne Collins Utilizes The Ya Genre To Resist Feminine Stereotypes, Moriah K. Mcdonald
Honors Theses
Even those who passively engage with modern media are likely to notice a binary frequently imposed on young adult women—that of the kind, reputable and trustworthy “good girl” or the mean, scandalous and deceitful “bad girl.” Such themes remain significantly featured in young adult (YA) literature, a genre specifically aimed at teenagers. Thus, in analyzing The Hunger Games trilogy by Suzanne Collins, I undertake a twofold analysis. I illustrate how Collins’s works tackle the specific issue of binary representation of women in the media, thereby validating the usefulness of the YA genre in commenting on current day issues facing teens.

Fort Mitchell And The Settlement Of The Alachua Country, Chris Monaco
Fort Mitchell And The Settlement Of The Alachua Country, Chris Monaco
Florida Historical Quarterly
Fort Mitchell, the former capital of the "Republic of East Florida" during the Patriot War, has never attained distinction. Erected in January of 1814, the twenty-five-foot square, two-story blockhouse was reported to hav been abandoned in May of the same year. When viewed in either military or political terms, the fort was a failure. However this small outpost on the Alachua frontier was originally intended as the nucleus of a self-sustaining, long-term agricultural colony.2 While short-lived Fort Mitchell is especially noteworthy because it was the first substantial Anglo-American settlement in the interior of Spanish East Florida.3 By 1821, seven year …

Bert Fish: From Volusia County Courthouse To American Embassy, Sidney Johnston
Florida Historical Quarterly
In 1940, Cairo's Al-Ahram observed that Volusia County lawyer and American diplomat Bert Fish had "gained the love of Egyptians for his frankness and ability to become the friend of Egyptians, and because of his great love for Egypt he is proud to call himself 'half-Egyptian'"-strange praise for a man of humble origins who began in the courtrooms of central Florida, rose to prominence in the state supreme court and the national Democratic Party, and eventually became a significant member of America's diplomatic corp. Indead, few early twentieth century Volusia County residents achieved the level of distinction enjoyed by DeLand …

Florida Historical Quarterly
Disney World may reign as Florida's most dazzling connection to the world of animated cartoons, but long before Disney there was Fleischer. Thirty-five year before Walt Disney packed Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck off to central Florida, his biggest competitor, Max and Dave Fleischer, built their own magic kingdom a couple of hundred miles farther south.
A Choctaw Academy Education, Ella Wells Drake
A Choctaw Academy Education, Ella Wells Drake
Florida Historical Quarterly
Ten weary travelers from Florida-eight Apalachicola Indian boys, an agent, and a servant-paused in the chill a Choctaw Academy came into view. The Indian school, standing on an elvated ridgetop overlooking the Kentucky countryside, appeared imposing. The Academy represented an institution of promise and potential, a school where young Indian boys could acquire the English language and Anglo-American values and custom for tribal benefit. In 1830, ninety-eight boys attended the Academy which, despite the name, was an intertribal school. Choctaws, Creeks, Potawatomies, Miamies, and Quapaws directed their education funds and promising students to Choctaw Academy. On Christmas Day, the eight …
Giveaway Forts: Territorial Forts And The Settlement Of Florida, Ernest F. Dibble
Giveaway Forts: Territorial Forts And The Settlement Of Florida, Ernest F. Dibble
Florida Historical Quarterly
In the history of American continental and overseas expansion, sometimes the lone hunter and trapper went first, or the isolated farmer. Other timese the missionary or the businessman or the railroad line arrived in advance of settler. However, sometimes the navy or the army preceded settlement and occasionally even preceded the legal possession of the territory. Military forts have played a role in the settlement of many American frontier, but on scarcely any frontier did forts play such a pervasive and significant role as they did in Florida. The United States Army preceded settlement into most sections of the territory. …
Unmasked: The Author Of Narrative Of A Voyage To The Spanish Main In The Ship "Two Friends", Patrick W. Doyle
Unmasked: The Author Of Narrative Of A Voyage To The Spanish Main In The Ship "Two Friends", Patrick W. Doyle
Florida Historical Quarterly
In 1819 John Miller of Burlington Arcade, Piccadilly, London, published the Narrative of a Voyage to the Spanish Main in the Ship "Two Friends" for an anonymous author, a young Englishman.1 The author, calling himself the "Narrator," recounted his earlier voyage to Madeira Island, the Dutch island of St. Thomas, and Spanish East Florida. The Narrative paints a revealing portrait of northeast Florida during the waning years of the Second Spanish Period. In his introduction to the 1978 republication of the Narrative John W. Griffin posed two candidates, both named John Miller, for authorship; however, he concluded "[w]ithal the author …

Cloak And Dagger In Apalachicole Province In Early 1686, John H. Hann
Florida Historical Quarterly
Stories of espionage awake a certain interest by their very nature. The ones presented here provide the bonus of valuable insights into life in Apalachee and along the Chattahoochee River in 1685-86 in the wake of the arrivial of the first Englishmen in the settlements on that river. It was a turning point in the history of the peoples of those two regions. The spies were Yamasee whom Apalachee's deputy-governor left behind when he ended his second invasion of the Chattahoochee River towns early in 1686. Reports that British traders from the recently founded outpost of Charles Town were in …

"Without Compromise Or Fear": Florida's African American Female Activists, Maxine D. Jones
"Without Compromise Or Fear": Florida's African American Female Activists, Maxine D. Jones
Florida Historical Quarterly
In his study of the civil rights movement in Mississippi, historian Charles Payne observed that “men led but women organized.“2 With few exceptions the same could be said of African American activists in Florida throughout the twentieth century. Women played a major role in combating racism and discrimination, and in seeking first-class citizenship for black Floridians.
Clubwomen And Civic Activism: Willie Lowry And Tampa's Club Movement, Patricia Dillon
Clubwomen And Civic Activism: Willie Lowry And Tampa's Club Movement, Patricia Dillon
Florida Historical Quarterly
In 1900, only six years after moving to Tampa, Florida, Willie Miller Lowry spearheaded a drive to solicit funds from Andrew Carnegie to build a public library. Throughout her correspondence with Carnegie, Lowry repeatedly described Tampa’s rapid development and the need for new educational facilities. She argued that the library would not only provide improved educational standards but would also help to cultivate middle-class American values in the city’s immigrant population. Lowry reported that “one to one-half of Tampa’s population are Cubans and Spaniards, who, though fast becoming Americanized, stand in dire need of uplifting and educational advantages.“

Florida's Seed Corn: The History Of The West Florida Seminary During The Civil War, David J. Coles
Florida Historical Quarterly
Most students of the Civil War are familiar with the role the Virginia Military Institute (VMI) cadets played in the 1864 Battle of New Market. The young soldiers fought valiantly in that southern victory and suffered more than fifty casualties, including ten dead or mortally wounded. Cadets from the South Carolina Military Academy in Charleston also saw active service, as did those from the Georgia Military Institute and the University of Alabama. Though lesser known than these famous schools, Florida’s Seminary West of the Suwannee was one of only a handful of such schools still operating at the war’s close, …
Race And Civil War In South Florida, Irvin D. Solomon
Race And Civil War In South Florida, Irvin D. Solomon
Florida Historical Quarterly
Two Floridas shared one state in 1860, and the racial demographics and the mechanics of race relations differed significantly between the two regions. Most studies of slavery and race in Florida directly before and during the Civil War have dealt with the state’s more densely populated and economically developed northern plantation region. Race relations in antebellum and wartime South Florida have received relatively little attention. From the outbreak of the Civil War through the early years of Reconstruction, however, the issues of race, slavery, and freedom profoundly shaped events from Tampa to Key West, developments compounded by the extensive Union …

"The citizens of the Flowery are determined to maintain their just rights at all hazards; and the fair daughters of Florida are prompt to encourage and cheer their bold defenders,” the Philadelphia Inquirer reported on February 2, 1861.1 The newspaper not only relayed the latest happenings in the secession movement but prophetically established the trend for the historical view of women’s lives during the Civil War.

List Of The Inhabitants Of Pensacola Who Were Householders At The Time Of The Capitulation, William S. Coker
Florida Historical Quarterly
The Spaniards prepared a list of householders soon after their victory over the British at Pensacola on May 10, 1781, although the exact date of the document is unknown. They used this list to wrap other documents and it carries a note: “Varios memoriales dentra y otros papeles en Yngles qe. u guardan pa. en caso de reclaman” (inside are various memorials and other English papers that are kept in case of claims).

Florida Historical Quarterly
The North American Southeast remained a wild borderland where Indian tribes, the United States, Spain, and Great Britain competed fiercely for supremacy. After the War of 1812 Spain kept a tenuous hold on Florida; however, Spanish authorities could not enforce peace on the border and were unable to prevent black slaves from fleeing to Florida and joining the Seminole Indians. Seen from Washington the peninsula was a natural appendage to the United States, and James Monroe’s administration hankered to possess it.
