William Walker And The Republic Of Lower California, James E. Braun

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

Though Willam Walker has made the transition from the hottest news personality in America during the years preceding the Civil War, to a virtual unknown, he still remains a controversial figure. Perhaps, due to his tremulous ambitions arrl irrational behavior which set American Latin American relations back decades, the majority of his biographers have not been able to confine themselves to writing the history of a man's life and the impact it made. Their works have many times been polemics, assigning attributes to Walker, ranging from a cold, calculating, paradoxical tyrant whose religion was chivalry, to a political phenomenon personifying …

Long Man, Small Island : The Reluctant Student Missionaries Of Majuro, Lynn Neumann

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

The problems and satisfactions a writer finds in narrative writing can best be understood through the production and examination of a sustained narrative. Long Man, Small Island takes non-fictive events and characters and imposes an order upon them to abstract what one of the characters sees as significant in the events, and so makes a statement about the student mission experience and an emerging nation. The preface examines the scholarly aspects of creative writing, the genesis of the story, and the process and difficulties that emerged in the writing of this non-fictional narrative.

Orestes And Redemption In Two Different Ages, Kevin Lantry

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

In the attempt to ascertain man's changes in world view, the Orestes stories of the Greek tragedians were compared with the Orestes stories of six 20th-century playwrights. The Orestes plays of Aeschylus, Sophocles, and Euripides were contrasted with the similar plays of Hofmannstahl, Jeffers, O'Neill, Giraudoux, Eliot, and Sartre. The Greek tragedians appear to terminate Orestes' retribution for inherited evil and a just crime by an actual, total, restorative redemption, divinely instigated. The 20th century playwrights portray only the potential termination of Orestes' retribution in a distant future, by means of a salvation that is self-instigated, costly, and completely non-restorative. …

Thou Shalt Not Kill?, Steve T. Pawluk

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

Very little has been said about the homicide law of the Decalogue. Upon reading the sixth commandment, it is often assumed that the prohibition of killing is absolute. If this is so, then serious problems are raised, not only for an act of killing itself, but also for things like self-defense, punishment by death, abortion, and suicide.

It is the purpose of this paper to deal in the following manner with the issue of killing: The first task is to begin with the obvious starting point, the sixth commandment itself. After noting the language used, as well as Hebrew expressions …

Sir Gawain And The Green Knight : Entertainment--The Author's Intention, Gregory Kabanuk

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

The subject of this paper is the Gawain poet and his monumental poem Sir Gawain and the Green Knight. The concern will not be with the poet's identity or social rank, but will instead be with his motives. In some places this paper will appear to work backwards, assuming that since a certain effect was achieved, it must have been intended, but that is not an uncommon assumption in literary criticism.

Entertainment value will be stressed not because Sir Gawain is exclusively entertainment, but because the primary purpose of the author was to entertain, as a sermon may be …

A Momentary Stay Against Confusion : Robert Frost's Use Of The Creative Process, Carole Rick

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

Robert Frost's fight against depression and insanity has not been widely known or understood. None of the many accounts of Frost's life written before 1966 accurately portray the poet as the complex man he really was. Lawrence Thompson's three-volume biography, however, revealed Frost's life-long struggle against mental imbalance and made this study possible. Thompson's biography was used to develop Frost's psycho-biography, verify his precarious mental balance and establish a history of insanity in his family.

Scholars disagree about the relationship between art and neurosis, but there is adequate evidence to indicate that the exercise of creativity has a therapeutic effect …
