The Character Of Robinson Jeffers: A Study In “Inhumanism”, Betty Jean Evans

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

When one reads many of the long narrative poems of Robinson Jeffers, one wonders at the characters who act out their lives against a backdrop of the contemporary California coastal region. The characters live isolated lives as ranchers, farmers, and farm women; they go about the business of eking out an existence, of cultivating their land, of caring for their livestock. Often, they commit horrible, unnatural acts and always, they or their families are involved in episodes which result in death or injury. Although these characters do not have the stature of an Oedipus or a Medea, their lives and …

Incarnation : Hindu And Christian Thought, Benjamin Anthony Francis

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

In writing these following pages, I have carefully avoided criticism of any kind. In these pages, I have mentioned the main differences between the Hindu and Christian faiths. I have treated this subject of incarnation with due respect to both the religions. If the subject could be discussed on an evaluative basis, then there would be the possibility of coming to the conclusion that there is less truth and more truth in different religious faiths. The most important consideration will be the truth value. In the incarnation stories, man is restored by God’s creative act to his original state.

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

The Chinese Communist Party cannot raise the living standard in China without substantially jeopardizing its hold on people. A monolithic state exists because economic considerations overshadow political usurpation of power. When men are fed and properly clothed in the industrial society that theoretically is the base of Communism, they turn to some other governmental form.

Communism in China has an emotional side that led its believers into the long fight for survival. Communists fought for a cause. They believed in the right of their way and they still believe in it. However, as Dallin points out in his Soviet Russia …

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

The flute literature to be discussed in this study will be limited to the first half of the eighteenth century. During that period the choice of solo instrument was often left to the discretion of the performer. Many composers marked their music flute or violin or oboe and wrote in such a manner that it could be played on either. The term “flute” often meant either the recorder or transverse flute.
