Scenes From A Friendly's Restaurant, Suzanne Bartz

The Angle

In lieu of an abstract, below is the essay's first paragraph.

"Somehow, when you observe people all your life, it becomes a sort of art. Each individual is distinctly different, a mystery within itself. What intrigues me though is looking for their story: where are they going, who are they looking for, what troubles them--the list is endless. If I possessed the ability to look into each person's mind I would block it out. For the whole purpose of observing others is to use your imagination, make up a story, add other characters--there are countless possibilities. Jason, a close friend …

The Zen Of Stevens, Rebecca Dickens

Masters Theses

Using comparative studies as background, I develop a Zen model for reading Stevens, arguing that his poetry works in the manner of Zen anecdotes and that it can be understood better by understanding Zen. Three critical studies of Wallace Stevens and Zen assert the Zen-like qualities of Stevens' poetry. Stevens has affinities with Zen writers in three areas: use of language, explorations into the nature of thought, and the structure of anecdotes and poems.

I develop a terminology in order to construct my model, giving attention to the definitions and interrelations of terms such as logical thought, figurative thought, paradox, …

Live Free Or Die, Ernest Hebert

Dartmouth Scholarship

"You stay in your hometown, you end up more of a stranger than if you'd started new someplace else." The struggle between the indigenous rural working class and the upper crust intensifies in this final novel of Hebert's Darby series as Freddy Elman, son of the town trash collector, and Lilith Salmon, daughter of a prestigious family, embark on their ill-fated love affair. Seeing Darby through new eyes, Freddy comes to realize that "the kind of people who hunkered down among these tree-infested, rock-strewn hills" is "dying out, replaced by people with money, education, culture, people 'wise in the ways …

Beetle Wings And Other Savory Tidbits, Krystyna Rozanski Stefansky

English Theses & Dissertations

Journalism is not a field in which facts must always be written black on white, opinion deleted. As a writer, largely of features, rather than what editors in my profession call "hard news," I particularly like writing the personal column.

In those 14 inches I can explore issues of the day, take a closer look at my life, family and neighbors, The looks are at some times more thoughtful than at others. Some topics are meant merely to entertain. Others to fuel discussion. All are meant to be gentle examinations of the truth, the tidbits of life that keep all …
