White Shadows: Perception And Imagination In Poetry, Madison Chartier

Undergraduate Honors Thesis Collection

In the spring of my sophomore year, I enrolled in the introductory course to writing poetry here at Butler University. I am not naturally a poet, but I have an appreciation for reading poetry and, at the time of the course, was curious to try my hand at the craft, despite having had little experience prior to the collegiate level. As may be expected, I ran into obstacles.

I enjoyed playing with language in experiments of sound and rhythm, but, despite the vast array of assonance, consonance, enjambment, and every other technique I employed, the poems I created throughout the …

Hallowed Be Thy Fall, Kristina Smeriglio

Department of Writing and Communication Theses

All Priella wanted was to find love. She roamed the fields of the Garden of Earthly Delights, day by day, in the hopes of finally attaining it. But, it wasn't that simple. In the midst of an existential crisis, unable to understand her difficulty in relating to others and achieving happiness, Priella meets the Archangel Michael who offers her a chance at salvation. Venturing into the unknown, Priella is forced to face the distorted ways of thinking that kept her hostage.

Colossus, Dennin Ellis

Legacy Theses & Dissertations (2009 - 2024)

The purpose of this project was to tell a story that incorporates the traditional elements of storytelling such as plot, characters, setting, conflict and theme, but to allow the story to unfold as a series of 'documents' rather than the typical form of narrative and exposition. These documents would include magazine articles, newspaper articles, sheet music, crime reports, etc. By assembling the disparate documents in chronological order, a story with a clear beginning, middle and end will emerge.
