Censo De Mujeres En Las Novelas Más Importantes De Armando Palacio Valdés, Julia Vicente

Spanish and Portuguese ETDs

Las mujeres cuyo censo he anotado ofrecen toda clase de particularidades pero en general pertenecen a la clase media española. No son muy ricas ni muy pobres. No son excepcionales en ningún sentido. Son mujeres corrientes que se encuentran diariamente en la vida.

La biografía del autor muestra también un género de vida sin accidentes. Nada hey en su vida inesperado o terrible. Palacio Valdés pasó a lo largo de su existencia por experiencias que le permitieron conocer, en la clase media a la que partenecen, casi todos los caracteres de mujer.

Speech Characteristics Of The Rio Grande Valley, New Mexico, Donald I. Dickinson

English Language and Literature ETDs

The purpose of this study is to show characteristics of the speech of the Rio Grande Valley in New Mexico. It is hoped that the material will be suitable for inclusion in a future Linguistic Atlas of the U.S. and Canada. Because it was done with this as its goal, the Atlas principles have been followed in the use of preliminary check-lists for plotting key communities, the Atlas worksheets for discovering lexical and phonological variations and the Atlas fine phonetic symbols with which these variations were recorded.

The Novels Of James T. Farrell; A Study In Social Forces And The Individual, Maurice M. Rosenthal

English Language and Literature ETDs

In any study of the works of James T. Farrell one is impressed by the author's relentless attack on man's traditional institutions and his furious loathing of the barren waste of life that characterizes certain strata of society. In a very real sense Mr. Farrell is exorcising the evil spirits of his blighted youth in southside Chicago, but in a more significant respect he is doing penance for us all. "Here," he seems to say to society, "is your bastard spawn. What will you do with it?"

Mr. Farrell, however, is no crusader. He considers his mission only that of …

The Novels Of Harold Frederic, George A. Small

English Language and Literature ETDs

I do not intend to defend the obviously untenable thesis that Frederic was a great writer and is not appreciated because of the nature of his subject matter. The author of The Damnation of Theron Ware seldom shows any sign of genius. What Frederic does, and often in a rather workmanlike manner, is tell a story of small-town and country people in upper New York state. In his early works, Seth's Brother's Wife and The Lawton Girl, the author writes about things he knows and has done. The works written about the same time as the two mentioned have …

A Study Of The Use Of The Subjunctive Mood In The Poema De Mio Cid, Etta Creecy Goff

Spanish and Portuguese ETDs

The study of the use of the subjunctive in the Poema de Mio Cid is more complex than might be anticipated at the outset. As it is true in most languages, the subjunctive was used much more widely in the writing of such an early date than in modern Spanish. Many of the constructions employed in the poem are common in the language of today, but some have passed from current usage. Some of the interesting aspects of the problem are the use of the -ra form, the great frequency of the use of the future subjunctive, the use of …

The Concept Of The Irishman In The Plays Of Lady Gregory, Lucile Dewaide

English Language and Literature ETDs

This study will attempt to show the nature, attitudes, and beliefs of the Irishman in the plays of Isabella Augusta Persse (Lady Gregory). Born in 1852 in County Galway, Lady Gregory was an acute observer of the Irish scene and a woman actively interested in Irish politics and Irish social problems throughout her long and fruitful lifetime.

Los Cruzados De La Causa By Ramón De Valle Inclán, Shirley Lee Zabel

Spanish and Portuguese ETDs

It always seems wise to review the life of a great author before attempting to analyze his work. However, the usual listing of important dates in the author's life, places of residence, travels, positions held, schooling, and circumstances of death, does not capture the true relationship between the personality of the man and his creative works. This is especially true in the case of don Ramón del Valle Iclán, whose strong personality eludes the student in a generalized factual description of his life. He was born of noble family Galicia in 1866, studied three years of law, lived a Bohemian …

Logistical Support Of Union Military Operations In Middle And Eastern Tennessee, 1862-1864, Patrick Laughlin

History ETDs

The armies considered here, and the area in which they operated, have been selected as most nearly representative of the influence technology was beginning to have on war. This specialized Nineteenth Century effect was, of course, a harbinger of the day in which we live -- when technological application to warfare has reached the point of total human and industrial mobilization.

A Critical Study Of Mormon Doctrine, Dwaine L. Bassett

Western Evangelical Seminary Theses

The importance of any movement may be determined, in part, by its claim. If these claims are true, they will demand careful attention of all concerned. The Mormon Church claims to represent "the restoration of the Gospel at Jesus Christ." The foundation tor this assertion is based on the Book of Mormon. This Book states that the Bible in its original form contained a true revelation from God. This Church maintained that the Gospel was not retained in its pure and simple form, tor following the apostles there arose an "abominable church" which deleted many plain and precious parts of …

A Comparative Study Of Some Contemporary Views On The Great Tribulation Period, Harvey Ernest Bartram

Western Evangelical Seminary Theses

Jesus, speaking to his disciples, as recorded in the Gospel according to Matthew, makes this statement: "For then shall be great tribulation, such as hath not been from the beginning of the world until now, no nor ever shall be. And except those days had been shortened, no flesh would have been saved; but for the elect's sake these days shall be shortened." In these words, Jesus expresses in a very clear manner a truth that is reflected in the Old and New Testaments alike. In this statement Jesus is giving, almost word for word, a prophecy uttered by Daniel …

Western Evangelical Seminary Theses

The purpose of this study is to determine the values within the hymn and their relative contributions to the worship service of the church.

An Interpretation Of The Problem Of Christian Liberty Within The Realm Of Law, Gerald Gardner

Western Evangelical Seminary Theses

One of the perennial problems of the Christian faith is the relationship between law and grace. This constant recurrence is an indication of its basic importance. Extreme positions are unchristian and result in an unholy presentation of the Christian faith.

To the earnest Christian the problem of what to do and what not to do often becomes a serious one. Prior to the acceptance of Christ and His way, and individual's conduct is controlled by the socially accepted standards of his environment. The standards will vary in accordance with each given situation and the average person will feel obligated to …

A Comparative Study Of Views On Prayer As Held By E. M. Bounds, Andrew Murray, And George Arthur Buttrick, Howard W. Perry

Western Evangelical Seminary Theses

Prayer is an interesting subject to some; to others it is foolishness and nonsense. Because men are curious beings and desire to know, and because knowledge is hidden from the wise and revealed unto babes it was studied to see what good was derived from prayer.

The Bible reveals that prayer was used in the Old Testament times. Abraham, Gideon, Daniel, Elijah, and the children of Israel all used it. Abraham used it to accomplish feats, Gideon used it to find God's will for them, Daniel used prayer to stop lion's mouths, Elijah used it to bring rains, and the …

A Study Of The Missionary Call As Found In The Acts Of The Apostles And In Modern Missionary Biography, Leo Maze Thornton

Western Evangelical Seminary Theses

To the sincere and enquiring mind a very fundamental question has been asked many times. Why do missionaries leave their homes, people, comforts, and security for the uncongenial people of a far off country? This has posed as a problem since the early life of the Apostle Paul.

A Study Of The Mosaic Sacrifices To Discover Their Primary Meaning And Typical Significance, Donald Bletscher

Western Evangelical Seminary Theses

Excerpt: "When the writer of this thesis was about ten years of age, he heard a statement which caused him a great deal of concern. The statement was made by a woman who was held as practically "the ideal" in Christian womanhood. She was a Sunday School teacher, which position alone gave her considerable esteem and authority in the boy's mind. The statement was only a passing remark in the course of a conversation with the writer's mother, but it struck a chord in the heart of that ten year old boy which made him doubt the truth of the …

A History Of The Northwest Washington Holiness Association And Camp Meeting: Ferndale, Washington - 1902-1952, Wayne F. Kildall

Western Evangelical Seminary Theses

With the expanding of western frontiers of the United States came the pioneer missionaries and preachers. These preachers were men of God who feared not man nor beast, but preached the Gospel of Jesus Christ "to the uttermost part of the earth."

Among these fearless men were ministers of the Methodists, the Evangelical Association, and others who had pledged themselves to bring the message of scriptural holiness to the new and expanding area of the great Northwest.

A Comparative Study Of Four Contemporary Views On The Differences Between The Carnal And Spiritual Christian, Edgar Frederick Albee

Western Evangelical Seminary Theses

Since the days of Calvin and Arminius there has been theological controversy among the various branches of evangelical Protestantism. The underlying cause of this struggle has been the differences of convictions concerning the sin problem that have existed between these groups, and because many of these differences have culminated in bitterness, the Kingdom of God on earth has suffered great reverses. The vital need of the hour among the various evangelical denominations is a redefining of each other's point of view in order that a harmonious relationship be established among these groups.

A Comparative Study Of Some Contemporary Views On The Great Tribulation Period, Harvey Ernest Bartram

Le Role De L'Histoire Romaine Dans "L'Othon" De Pierre Conreille, Victor J. Sampson

Bachelors’ Theses

Cette étude est consacrée à l'examen d'une des tragédies de Corneille, Othon; le problème particulier dont il s'agit est celui des sources historiques de la pièce. Pour savoir jusqu'à quel point Corneille se servit des oeuvres de Plutarque, de Suétone, et de Tacite, il sera utile de se rappeler que la pièce commence au moment où le héro, Othon, ayant été l'ami de Néron, éprouve le besoin d'un protecteur. Puisqu'il y a plus de sureté dans un mariage que dans une alliance, il obtient l'affection de Plautine, fille du consul Vinius et même s'en éprend.

A Critical Study Of The Problem Of Religious Authority Within Western Christendom, Carl-Reid Duhrkoop

Western Evangelical Seminary Theses

For centuries, the human mind has struggled with the problem of ultimate truth, but many times it has been turned back frustrated. Some have gone so far as to deny any possibility of having certain knowledge . Others would echo the question of Pontius Pilate: "What is truth?" To these uncertain ones, Pilate's question refers to whether or not there' are any val id norms, or if any objective standard actually exists. Their answer would be that they do not know "for sure" .

A Proposed Plan And Curriculum For Teacher-Training In The Oregon-Washington Conference Of The Evangelical United Brethren Church, Robert D. Bennett

Western Evangelical Seminary Theses

Throughout its history, the work of the Sunday school has been willingly carried out by corps of godly, voluntary workers. The major portioned of the educational efforts of the Church has fallen upon this agency. These volunteers have carried on their work with little training in educational principles and techniques. They have had but little more personal training in the systematic study of the Bible, the history of the Church, and its doctrines. God has honored these sincere, conscientious efforts with a measure of success which has resulted largely from native ability. In order that future efforts might be more …

A Comparative Study Of The Views Concerning The Antichrist As Held By Joseph A. Seiss, William E. Blackstone, And Arno C. Gaebelein, Arthur Cobb

Western Evangelical Seminary Theses

The world today has troubled visions of what tomorrow will bring in the realm of politics. The relations between a man and his fellow men, a nation and her sister nations, the world and its Ruler, occupy a large place in modern thought. This concern about the future, and what it will bring, has been the motivating force of this study of the doctrine of the Antichrist.
