Theses & Honors Papers

This thesis discusses the current problems with the traditional structure through which literature is taught in high schools today. It presents a modernistic approach to engaging high school students in reading and literature, and tackles the lack of relevance the old classic novels have in the lives of 21st century students. It introduces the idea of using young adult novels to teach the literary concepts that states mandate in their curriculum, and it emphasizes the important role educators play in preparing their students for the real world.


Witness For The Prosecution: Erasure Poetics, Samantha M. Schaefer Apr 2012

Witness For The Prosecution: Erasure Poetics, Samantha M. Schaefer

Honors Theses

My Honors Senior Thesis is centered around the art of Erasure poetics. My definition of Erasure is most concisely stated as: a process of simultaneous poetic addition and subtraction to preexisting text, which results in a product whose creation process ultimately echoes the same revision process that human beings undergo; a process by which a new and beautiful truth is both created and uncovered in a paradoxical manner. I initially endeavored to complete a simple erasure of a collection of short stories by Agatha Christie called Witnessfor the Prosecution; but was soon so inspired that I ended up creating four …

There's A Reason One Thing Always Leads To Something More, Tara Shea Burke Apr 2012

There's A Reason One Thing Always Leads To Something More, Tara Shea Burke

English Theses & Dissertations

There's a Reason One Thing Always Leads io Something More is a collection of poems that explore ideas of hunger from my own personal understanding of its metaphors as a white, American, feminist woman. This theme of desire branches out to show the body's dance with addiction, want and need, indulgence, and consumption, at odds with the need for limitations, portions, control, boundary, and responsibility to the self and community. The poems radiate from the body and attempt to speak from its collection of interconnected organs, and then use these images and metaphors to address social concerns, gender, sexuality, Americanism, …

The Stories Teeth Can Tell, Emily Lindsey Bonner Apr 2012

The Stories Teeth Can Tell, Emily Lindsey Bonner

English Theses & Dissertations

This collection explores the idea of familiarizing the strange, reacquainting oneself with wonder, and how the use of humor can create evocative poetry. The collection aims to use humor as a mechanism to deal with subject matter such as family relationships, loneliness, alienation and death. Linear and circular narrative were used to create poems that act as smaller stories that come together to create a timeline of stories arranged from birth, to mid-life, to death.


Benefit Road: Short Stories, Kathleen J. Stowe Apr 2012

Benefit Road: Short Stories, Kathleen J. Stowe

English Theses & Dissertations

Benefit Road is a work of realistic fiction composed of six short stories. Each protagonist is an individual in contemporary society, living an isolated existence, while struggling to connect with others and construct moral order out of chaos. A blind disabled child attended by his uncomplaining mother, geckos scrambling up a freshly painted wall to escape from a cat, a drowning boy, the revelry of a Fasching celebration, a toddler in a crib shrieking for his mother's attention, and an old dog on a wintry trail: A common thread linking these particular stories is the presence of an animal as …


Hungry Heart, Valarie Clark Apr 2012

Hungry Heart, Valarie Clark

English Theses & Dissertations

The essays in this collection explore the resistance to and simultaneous need for human connections. In order to illustrate this concept, I use myself as an example of an individual who both longs for and despises her dependence on other people in order to support and define her. The essays are not presented in a traditional chronological format, but instead reflect the chronology of my own realization of the theme of this work. The essay titles are drawn from popular music, intended to mimic the contents of an MP3 player, which reflects the owner's personality, wants and needs. The structure …


Digital Poetry From A Cyborg Perspective, Daniel James Hosmer Apr 2012

Digital Poetry From A Cyborg Perspective, Daniel James Hosmer

Institute for the Humanities Theses

This study analyzes digital poetry from a cyborg perspective, showing how its multiple material aspects are foregrounded to facilitate the reader's performance of poems. It explores the poetic functions, possibilities, and constraints of the medium of digital poetry through the application of Augusto Boal's Theatre of the Oppressed, comparisons with print methods of conveying meaning, and close readings of digital poems. The application of Theatre of the Oppressed as a framework also allows for the study of the power relationships involved in performing digital poetry and in using digital technology as a whole, while showing digital poetry to be …
