Genre In First Year Composition: The Missing Link To Transferability?, Sandra Patricia Halsey

This thesis suggests the incorporation of "Genre Theory" into First Year Composition (FYC) at California State University (CSUSB) as a means of alleviating the lack of transfer of what is learned in FYC to other university writing.

The Influence Of Finnegans Wake On Robert Anton Wilson's Masks Of The Illuminati, Eric Robert Wagner
The Influence Of Finnegans Wake On Robert Anton Wilson's Masks Of The Illuminati, Eric Robert Wagner
Theses Digitization Project
This thesis presents an analysis and interpretation of Joycean literary devices, narrative techniques and rhetorical strategies that have been integrated by Robert Anton Wilson in his novel Masks of the Illuminati. The author shows how Wilson uses word games of Finnegans Wake and other devices to depict dreams in his novel and "to conceal and reveal a variety of levels of meaning and postcolonial insight" (p. v-iv). Narrative techniques examined include multiple viewpoints, combined words, multi-lingual puns and webs of allusions.
Causes Of Unease: Horror Rhetoric In Fiction And Film, Benjamin Kane Ethridge
Causes Of Unease: Horror Rhetoric In Fiction And Film, Benjamin Kane Ethridge
Theses Digitization Project
How do artists scare us? Horror filmmakers and novelists alike can accomplish fear, revulsion, and disturbance in their respective audiences. The rhetorical and stylistic strategies employed to evoke these feelings are unique to the genre. Divulging these strategies will be the major focus of this thesis, yet there will also be discussion on the social and cultural background of the Horror genre.

Taran: An Individuated Hero For The Collective Unconscious, Edward Tucker Raetz
Theses Digitization Project
This study analyzes Lloyd Alexander's The Prydain Chronicles through a Jungian lens. Previous scholarship on Alexander's works has briefly considered archetypal criticism, but not extensively. Bruno Bettelheim's thoughts are used intermittently throughout the thesis. This study concentrates on Taran's individuation process, the discovery of true selfhood, and his consequent development of a whole psyche.

The Rhetoric Of State Assessment: Educational Politics In The Public School System, Renee Michelle Longshore
The Rhetoric Of State Assessment: Educational Politics In The Public School System, Renee Michelle Longshore
Theses Digitization Project
In this thesis I explore the rhetoric behind the assessment push nation-wide and, particularly, in California. I take a close look at what politicians, educators, and citizens say about public education and their views of the current educational reform: whether they are speaking in support of or opposition to the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001. I look specifically at the finances of public education in California, the impact and current outcome of NCLB, and propose new reforms as suggested by those intimately involved in education.

Making readers aware of false appropriations and performances of holiness involves educating them in the narrative and dramatic conventions that are used to …
