To Be Prosecuted, Banished, And Shot : Motives, Morals, And The Modern American Hero, Anna Tuttle Villegas

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

Mark Twain's Adventures of Huckleberry Finn contains three character types which serve as models for the protagonists of certain twentieth century writers. The distinguishing characteristics of Tom, Jim, and Huck reappear in the central figures of later American novels, novels dealing explicitly with the relationship between human perception and consequent behavior. The contrasting perceptions of Mark Twain's characters provide his novel with thematic tensions that, in distinct and enlarged forms, become basic interests of major twentieth century writers. The tragedy of fixed perceptions in a world of constant flux concerned William Faulkner in Absalom, Absalom! and F. Scott Fitzgerald in …

A Psycholinguistic Contrastive Analysis Of The Dialogues Between Tom Jones And Partridge And Between Don Quijote And Sancho, Betty Ann Engelkes

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

Henry Fielding was greatly interested in the literary works of Cervantes. This interest is reflected in Fielding's writing, especially character development and, to some extent, in his style. There are obvious similarities in thematic content in the dialogues between Tom Jones and Partridge and between Don Quijote and Sancho. There are also obvious similarities in episodes or situations involving these major characters, which are presented and discussed in this thesis. Both major characters, Tom Jones and Don Quijote, leave home to travel with their specific destinations undetermined. Both Tom Jones and Don Quijote have longings for a beautiful woman whom …

H. S. Chamberlain And The Bayreuth Kulturkreis: A Study In Ideology, David George Otness

Dissertations and Theses

Houston Stewart Chamberlain (1855-1927) was born an Englishman but adopted Germany as his home. Chamberlain was a publicist for fin de siècle ideas about art and politics which were tempered by both late nineteenth century Imperialism and by World War One. As an old man he endorsed Adolf Hitler and has been credited as an important synthesizer for the ideology of National Socialism.

This study examines Chamberlain's life in terms of his involvement with art and politics. It utilizes his work as a popularizer and his conversion into an exponent of Deutschtum to discuss broad social questions. While it is …

Christian Spirituality In The Gospel Of John, Sandra Marie Schneiders

Jesuit School of Theology

One of the most fruitful realizations that has emerged from contemporary Scripture studies is that the Bible contains not one but several theologies. The plurality of approaches to God, community, and salvation goes back to the Old Testament itself. And the New Testament offers several quite diverse interpretations of the person of Jesus, the Church he founded, and the eschatological destiny of the world and the race the he announced. The growing appreciation of theological diversity in the Bible itself has not only reassured the more creative members of the scholarly community in their search for contemporary interpretations of revelation, …

Historical Review, Berry Summit Area For Double B Ranch Subdivision Eir, Susie Van Kirk

Susie Van Kirk Papers

Attached is a cursory historical review of the Berry Summit area with particular attention given to trails and roads.

There are many references to the native people of this area. The Gregg-Wood party had been instructed by Indians near Weaverville to follow' the Indian trail west eight days to a "large and beautiful bay; early newspaper articles reported many Indian-white difficulties throughout the Redwood Creek drainages; there was an Indian rancheria on Redwood Creek near Berry's in 1890; and Kroeber gives us insight into the life of these people-permanent villages near the creek with temporary summer camps on the prairies …

การสอนภาษาอังกฤษในระดับอุดมศึกษา (Modern Trends In Teaching English At The Tertiary Level), กานดา ศีตะจิตต์

PASAA

At the present time linguists, language teachers, and supervisors seem to agree that English should be taught for special purposes. By this is meant that students of different disciplines should concentrate on certain vocabulary and structures most often found in their texts, while vocabulary and structures with less frequency should be less emphasized and scaled accordingly. Many experts at various institutions have suggested the kind of vocabulary and structures which ought to be introduced to science students. In Thailand many institutions have already started programs of teaching scientific English by preparing their own texts. To do this, a great deal …

รูปและเสียงในภาษาไทย (Spelling And Sound), ยุพา ส่งศิริ

PASAA

This article intends to expose teachers of the Thai language to the basic linguistic difference between spelling and sound. Failure to recognize this difference results in problems for both teachers and students. This difference is illustrated in an analysis of the Thai alphabet, which reveals that 6 final sounds can be represented by more than 6 letters and 24 vowel sounds must be written with the use of only 14 scripts. The article discusses the 5 tones of Thai and how they are represented in script form by different combinations of the four tone marks and the three classes of …

Development Of The God Concept In Children: An Exploratory Study, Dennis Feeley

Masters Theses & Specialist Projects

A study was designed to explore the developmental relationship between early childhood concepts of parent and more adult concepts of God. It attempted to identify the age at which absolute attributes such as omnipotence and ubiquity are taken away from parents and assigned to God. Based on both the theories of Freud and Piaget it was predicted that the transition will occur between the ages of four and eight. Forty children were administered an interview questionnaire and two short stories all of which depicted an attribute or characteristic which is traditionally viewed as being associated with God. Both techniques were …

Piltown Ii: Leslie White's Theory Of Cultural Evolution, Diana Amsden

American Studies ETDs

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM: The acceptance and popularity of White's theory, which helped reinstate cultural evolution as an anthropological subdiscipline and break the ground for the rapidly growing field of Marxist anthropology, indicate the current intellectual and scientific status of anthropology. A typical response to White's theory is fascination--coupled with an inexplicable intellectual indignation. This dissertation explains why.

PROCEDURE: The author analyzes White's two books on cultural evolution, The Science of Culture (cl949) and The Evolution of Culture (cl959), chapter by chapter. The purpose of each is determined and the arguments White gives in its support listed and analyzed. The author …
