Haitian Life, Traditions, And Culture In The Works Of Edwidge Danticat, Elizabeth Sprague May 2019

Haitian Life, Traditions, And Culture In The Works Of Edwidge Danticat, Elizabeth Sprague

Honors Program Theses and Projects

Throughout the past couple of years of my life, Haiti has become increasingly significant in terms of how I see myself and how I see the world around me. My interest in Haiti began on my first mission trip to Kay Mari in 2015 through an organization, Haiti 180. Haiti 180 was created by Sean Forrest, who’s first trip to Haiti was in 2002, providing medical services to the poor. While in Haiti, Forrest visited an orphanage and was moved by the heartfelt compassion and heroic efforts of the caretakers. It disturbed him to notice, however, that for most of …


Samuel Johnson And Thomas Jefferson: Their Contradictory Lockean Responses To The Legality Of The American Revolution, Joshua Wright May 2019

Samuel Johnson And Thomas Jefferson: Their Contradictory Lockean Responses To The Legality Of The American Revolution, Joshua Wright

Honors Program Theses and Projects

John Locke and his Second Treatise of Government (1690), had a major intellectual impact on political controversies surrounding the American Revolution. Although later historians tended to focus on proponents of the American Revolution from the American perspective like Thomas Jefferson, noteworthy opponents of colonial rebellion like Samuel Johnson had very much the same admiration for John Locke’s seminal ideas regarding human equality and individual liberty. An examination of the contrary perspectives on Locke and revolution taken by both of these writers sheds crucial light on conflicting legal assumptions surrounding the creation of the United States. Both writers were scholars of …

The Function Of Role Models In The Identity Development Of African American Male Adolescents And Young Adults, Gensis Galan May 2019

The Function Of Role Models In The Identity Development Of African American Male Adolescents And Young Adults, Gensis Galan

Honors Program Theses and Projects

The function of role models in the lives of adolescents has been linked to many positive outcomes, including academic success and enhanced physical activity (Assibey-Mensah, 1997; Babey, Wolstein, & Diamant, 2016); however, it remains unclear who adolescents and young adults are seeking and identifying as role models. This two-part interdisciplinary project started with literary analyses of a memoir and semi-autobiographical novel that depicted the experience of two African American male adolescents and their exploration of identity; during this time, each male developed the desire for a role model whose behavior he could imitate. The second part of this project included …


Renaissance Drama And ‘Magic Realism’: Mythology And Religion Across Time And Genres, Kellie Delaney May 2019

Renaissance Drama And ‘Magic Realism’: Mythology And Religion Across Time And Genres, Kellie Delaney

Honors Program Theses and Projects

Renaissance and ‘magic realism’ literature share many characteristics; among these are the prevalence of mythology and religion. It is no new observation to say that contemporary literature has strong and discernible connections to the earlier literature of the Renaissance; scholarship has long seen the parallels between eras that share the collapse of established values and beliefs. The use and treatment of mythology and religion in these respective categories of literature, however, invites a discussion yet to be made in scholarship. An examination of the form and function of mythology and religion in authors of both Renaissance and ‘magic realism’ literature …


Barriers To Bilingual: How Students Participate In Spanish And English Classes, Bailey Strahan May 2019

Barriers To Bilingual: How Students Participate In Spanish And English Classes, Bailey Strahan

Masters of Education in Teaching and Learning

While participation has been linked to achievement in the classroom, various external factors can change students’ willingness to participate. In this study the researcher sought to discover what participation looks like in regards to one of these factors, language. Additionally the researcher wanted to discover what students and teachers in a bilingual program thought of their own participation in regards to language. Through the use of surveys, interviews, and observations over the course of several weeks, the researcher was able to determine that many factors including student motivation, preferences, resources available, and misunderstanding all contribute to their willingness to participate …

Narrative Style And The Female Story In Pride And Prejudice, Bridget Jones’S Diary, And The Lizzie Bennet Diaries, Parker Jones May 2019

Narrative Style And The Female Story In Pride And Prejudice, Bridget Jones’S Diary, And The Lizzie Bennet Diaries, Parker Jones

Honors Program Theses and Projects

Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen has remained relevant since its publication in 1813, in part due to the popularity of numerous adaptations in multiple mediums. Pride and Prejudice is a novel that champions protofeminism as well as offers 1 an example of Austen’s unique style of writing. The story follows the Bennet family, and specifically the second oldest daughter Elizabeth, as their mother searches for husbands for her five daughters. Elizabeth is a woman that is expected to enter into a successful marriage, which would be defined by financial security for herself and her family. However, she refuses this …


Addiction And Recovery In Silas Marner, Sarah Netto May 2019

Addiction And Recovery In Silas Marner, Sarah Netto

Honors Program Theses and Projects

Depending on the historical period, culture, and available knowledge, addiction has been defined and theorized in numerous ways. Approaches to solving the problem of addiction have been similarly diverse. Medical knowledge is still fairly limited, and the debate still continues to this day on whether or not addiction is a moral choice. During the nineteenth century various forms of addiction including but not limited to opium and alcohol had reached epidemic levels. Consequently, the subject of addiction is a major theme in many Victorian novels. In the nineteenth century, Susan Zieger explains, the word “addiction” was used to describe a …


I Survived Hopscotch Hill A Collection Of Nonfiction Essay About Homeschooling, Mialise Carney May 2019

I Survived Hopscotch Hill A Collection Of Nonfiction Essay About Homeschooling, Mialise Carney

Honors Program Theses and Projects

When I first set out to work on this thesis project, I was apprehensive. For years I had done my best to distance myself from my experience growing up homeschooled because I didn’t want to be marked by it. Throughout my life, I sought out fiction or nonfiction accounts of homeschooling, yet the identities never seemed to align with any part of my experiences or observations. During this project, however, as I read homeschooling nonfiction books like Running with Scissors by Augusten Burroughs, The Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls, or Real Lives edited by Grace Llewellyn, I began to …


See And Be Seen: Young Adult Refugee Literature In The High School Curriculum, Patrice Splan May 2019

See And Be Seen: Young Adult Refugee Literature In The High School Curriculum, Patrice Splan

Senior Honors Projects, 2010-2019

According to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, there are more than 25 million refugees in the world today, over half of whom are under the age of 18. As these young people adapt to new schools and communities, it is essential that all students have opportunities to see themselves represented in literature and to develop understandings of the experiences of others. This project provides an analysis of young adult refugee literature with a unit plan for application of texts in a ninth-grade Virginia English classroom, stressing the importance of education as a tool for awareness, reflection, and empathy.


An Unquiet Pedagogy For Unquiet Students: Reducing Anxiety And Depression With Critical Pedagogy, Laine Drew May 2019

An Unquiet Pedagogy For Unquiet Students: Reducing Anxiety And Depression With Critical Pedagogy, Laine Drew

Honors Program Theses and Projects

This project studies critical pedagogy in the writing classroom as a way to support students who struggle with anxiety to be successful, in and out of the classroom, as thinkers, writers, and citizens. I argue that it is important to recognize that educational inequalities and hierarchies contribute to anxiety, and suggest how critical pedagogy (rigorous and critical interrogation of texts and ideas by readers, a community of learners working together to make meaning, and a commitment to action in the world) can reduce anxiety in the school setting, in particular, and set students up for academic success that creates powerful, …

Exploring The Academic/Creative Writing Binary, Jessica O'Leary May 2019

Exploring The Academic/Creative Writing Binary, Jessica O'Leary

Honors College Theses

I began to work on this study in my ENG 201: Writing in the Disciplines class during my junior year at Pace University. After being asked to write a paper on what writing looks like in my discipline, I realized that my perceptions of the kinds of writing done by faculty and students in a university English department were limited and constricting as a result of the binary way in which I viewed academic and creative forms of writing. For instance, I had trouble believing that my creative writing professor studied pre-med in undergrad. I continued my research on this …


Visions Of Hell, John Wilson Apr 2019

Visions Of Hell, John Wilson

Honors Program Theses and Projects

This creative thesis addresses paintings and other visual representations of different Buddhist Hells and responds to them through written poetry. Visions of Hell is a compilation of eight poems inspired by several of the many Buddhist Naraka, or Hells. These “ are not the traditional “Hells” one might imagine today, if anything, they were closer to our notion of Purgatories. Each hell is reserved for specific types of sinners —the type or crime dictating the appropriate hell to inhabit. However, this causal relation, typically present in works of Buddhist art, is not used in the poems. This compilation narrates the …


The Viking Dialogue Narrative: Egil’S Saga And Storytelling, Gabriel Hazeldine Apr 2019

The Viking Dialogue Narrative: Egil’S Saga And Storytelling, Gabriel Hazeldine

Honors Program Theses and Projects

Egil’s Saga invites inquiry about its composition with its unique use of poetry and prose. Its origins in the traditions of the Icelandic sagas grounds the text within a historical and cultural context that, while still under debate, guides the student of the Icelandic sagas in understanding the likely authorial purpose and intent behind the structure and motives behind the sagas and their tellers/writers. Egil’s Saga’s composition not only retells the life narrative of its titular poet but speaks to the purpose of storytellers and their craft.


The Effects Of Neocolonialism On Indigenous Peruvians, Christina Nelson Apr 2019

The Effects Of Neocolonialism On Indigenous Peruvians, Christina Nelson

Honors Program Theses and Projects

In this world, there exist histories that do not make it into textbooks or school curriculums. There are events that are born in the shadows of suppression, with victims stifled so much so that they have no means of telling their stories. Historical happenings do not always have the privilege of being accurately recorded where the pen meets the paper. Instead, these instances linger in the air, passed on from one generation to the next by storytelling and song, aging into myth. Colonization, or the act of settling into a foreign land and establishing dominance over the natives, has history …


Languages Killing Languages: A Rhetorical Analysis Of The Media Portrayal Of The Struggle Between English And Arabic, Denise Muro Apr 2019

Languages Killing Languages: A Rhetorical Analysis Of The Media Portrayal Of The Struggle Between English And Arabic, Denise Muro

Ursidae: The Undergraduate Research Journal at the University of Northern Colorado

The English language has grown to become international, but at the same time, many indigenous languages have become endangered and extinct. Recognizing these trends, scholars have begun recording and cataloging endangered languages. Though Arabic is not considered to be an endangered language, the physical and cultural presence and influence of the West in the Middle East, makes the issue pertinent and popular media has addressed it as well. Articles and speeches addressing the trend of the globalizing English language and the endangerment and extinction of indigenous languages have joined the discussion. 65 arguments from popular media sources against the globalization …
