Animal Stereotypes In Children’S Picture Books, Jeanna L. Massman

Graduate Research Papers

This research was a content analysis concerned with the stereotyping of animals in children's literature. Five hypotheses were formulated on the topic. These hypotheses examined the relationship between type of characterization (animal as animal, animal as animal but talking, animal as human being) and stereotyping. The relationship between role of character (major or minor) and stereotyping and the degree of stereotyping and realism, in general, prevalent in children's picture books. The animals picked for analysis were bears, foxes, mice and rabbits. The total population of books was taken from five sources and a stratified random sample was drawn. A total …

Backwaters: Four Stories And A Play, Gregory Paul Gerjerts Jan 1979

Backwaters: Four Stories And A Play, Gregory Paul Gerjerts

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

It is not often that extended, authorial remarks introduce an individual volume of fiction. When they do they are more often self-serving than illuminative; inappreciable than noteworthy. As such they occasion no particular response in the reader save for a scant sense of relief once the obligation to read them is met, an unhappy situation: one is not obligated to read fiction, but once the book is opened, there they can be, the prolegomenous remarks, menacingly tucked between cover and content, piquing. These will not be protracted. If one feels obligated to read them, one should also know that the …


The Development And Use Of Self-Concept Enhancement Criteria In The Analysis Of Black Biographies, Marsha Gerber Jan 1978

The Development And Use Of Self-Concept Enhancement Criteria In The Analysis Of Black Biographies, Marsha Gerber

Graduate Research Papers

The purpose of the study was to develop a list of criteria and a checklist from which to evaluate black biographies for self concept enhancement. The author hypothesized that such a checklist could be developed and used in evaluating black biographies. The checklist criteria were developed and used to evaluate forty black biographies, fifty percent of the biographies about blacks currently on the shelves of the McKinstry Junior High School media center. In using the checklist the author judged twenty percent of the books at borderline level for self-concept enhancement and seventeen percent unacceptable. The checklist seems to be a …

Structure And Characterization In Popular Adolescent Fiction, Marcia Fox Jan 1978

Structure And Characterization In Popular Adolescent Fiction, Marcia Fox

Graduate Research Papers

For this study the author identified two criteria to be examined in junior novels. These criteria originally came from Stephen Dunning's five categories which he suggested as representative criteria against which the literary quality of the junior novel could be measured. The two categories chosen were structure and characterization in the novel. Each aspect of these two categories was defined and then applied to twenty-one junior novels that were fiction. The twenty-one novels examined were chosen from G. Robert Carlsen's list of popular books depicting adolescent concerns in the 1977 and 1978 English Journal. Each book was then measured numerically …


The Development Of Criterion Categories For Evaluating Novels Dealing With Teen-Age Drinking, Jane Hoeppner Jan 1977

The Development Of Criterion Categories For Evaluating Novels Dealing With Teen-Age Drinking, Jane Hoeppner

Graduate Research Papers

Drinking has existed throughout time in may forms. It is only within the last few years that society has viewed alcohol use with concern as the number of teen-agers drinking and more importantly, teen-age alcoholism has increased. In order to combat these figures, many alcohol education programs are being instituted throughout the country.

Many- or these programs are based on the values clarification approach. One teaching method to this approach is the use of the novel. From research conducted, it appears that little has been done in using novels dealing with teen-age drinking. Recognizing the utility of this type of …

A worksheet was devised which contained the four main categories main character, function or role, physical appearance, and personality descriptors. Sub-categories for each main category were also provided on the worksheet. Frequency of occurrence for each category or sub-category was then recorded on the worksheet. After the analysis was …

Characterization Of Asian Americans In Children’S Literature, June S. Talbott

Graduate Research Papers

This study was designed to determine how Asian Americans have been characterized in children's fiction. The questions investigated were: (1) what are the identifiable physical, social and personality stereotypes attributed to Asian Americans, (2) how have characterizations of Asian Americans changed between the periods 1945-1965 and 1966-1976, and (3) how have Asian American authors and illustrators characterized Asian Americans as compared with non-Asian American authors and illustrators. The time periods were chosen to test the impact of the Civil Rights Movement and the growing consciousness of the importance of ethnicity.

A total of 34 books and 219 characters were analyzed. …
