Many stories fail to capture the reader's interest even though they have a clear point of view, well-rounded characters and an interesting plot. What's missing? One key element that writers frequently overlook is setting. They treat it merely as backdrop.

An article in the May 2003 issue of The Teaching Professor that highlights six ways teachers can learn from coaches got us thinking. The two of us have now been teaching a combined 64 years in college, and we've spent half that time serving as coaches in soccer, swimming, basketball, and baseball on the youth and high school levels. From our experience we've identified five more ways coaches provide a model for good college instruction.
Hawthorne's Dating Problem In "The Scarlet Letter", Charlie Sweet, Hal Blythe
Hawthorne's Dating Problem In "The Scarlet Letter", Charlie Sweet, Hal Blythe
Hal Blythe
This article explores the dating problem in Nathaniel Hawthorne's novel, The Scarlet Letter. In The Custom House, Hawthorne relates how he discovers several foolscap sheets written by a predecessor, Mr. Surveyor Pue, about Hester Prynne. These six sheets supposedly offer two types of accounts about Hester: aged persons, alive in the time of Pue and from whose oral testimony he had made up his narrative, remembered her, in their youth and those who had heard the tale from contemporary witnesses. A dating problem arises with the first group. Critics concur that historical documents place the events in The Scarlet Letter …
Hemingway's "The Killers", Charlie Sweet, Hal Blythe
Hemingway's "The Killers", Charlie Sweet, Hal Blythe
Hal Blythe
In his seminal study Hemingway and the Dead Gods, John Killinger relates Papa's fictional world to existententialism, concluding that Hemingway sees that individuality is not a quality which can be superimposed externally on a man, but that it must be internally achieved by a decision to be at all times an authentic person and to accept the full responsibility of action proper to a primary agent. In his philosophy, as in that of Kierkegaard, Heidegger, and Sartre, the opportunity for such a decision is presented as a moment of crisis, which, for him, is produced by confronting death or violence.

Performed Subjectivity: The Absence Of Interiority In Pamela, Adrianne Wadewitz
Performed Subjectivity: The Absence Of Interiority In Pamela, Adrianne Wadewitz
Adrianne Wadewitz
In this paper I will challenge the dominant reading of Pamela that argues that Richardson constructs an interiorized character in Pamela through her letters and her occupation of the private space of the closet. I will contend, on the other hand, that Pamela does not have an independent, identifiable private self because of the performative nature of her letters and her movements; she develops subjectivity only when she performs. Furthermore, she performs various ‘roles’ such as maid, wife and lover, thus not inhabiting any one identity. Pamela does not so much present either a publication of the private or a …

The Overdetermining Religious Rhetoric(S) Of Blake’S And Paine’S Theosophies, Adrianne Wadewitz
The Overdetermining Religious Rhetoric(S) Of Blake’S And Paine’S Theosophies, Adrianne Wadewitz
Adrianne Wadewitz
Emphasizing a conflict between Paine the rationalist and Blake the prophet, scholars studying the relationship between Blake’s and Paine’s religious writings have chosen to focus more heavily on the political rather than the religious aspects of the texts. For example, John Coates writes that ‘Paine and Blake epitomise the two poles of a revolutionary dialectic between political pragmatism, action, rational planning on the one hand, and on the other, the constant need for visionary flexibility, a relation to change as a whole process, rather than one final goal’ (Woodcock and Coates, Combative Styles 104-5). This is, I believe, a simplified …
