A Storybook For Children With Celiac Disease, Heather A. Hope Jan 2012

A Storybook For Children With Celiac Disease, Heather A. Hope

Graduate Research Papers

The purpose of this research project was to create a children's story cookbook that addresses the dietary adaptions to avoid gluten and wheat for children diagnosed with celiac. Children's literature has a need for a cookbook that will have recipes appealing to children and have pictures that will make the recipes/ food more visually attractive. The book also included child friendly directions so that a parent can assist a child in preparing the food. The story cookbook also told the story of a young child who has celiac, who is learning to eat differently and to adapt to her disease. …


In A Complex Plane, Todd Dralle Jan 2012

In A Complex Plane, Todd Dralle

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

This thesis is a work of fiction. It is a short novel written to entertain and to explore ideas of identity, family, friendship, and what it takes to find a place in the modem world. It follows a young man named Noah through the events of a single summer as he tries to make sense of his life. Its setting and characters are definitively Iowan, but its events and conflicts speak to the human condition at large. The story's overarching metaphor is the Mandlebrot set, a mathematical sequence of infinite complexity. Through the course of the novel the main character …


Marita Bonner: Creator Of Frye Street And Environs, Laya Jack Jan 2012

Marita Bonner: Creator Of Frye Street And Environs, Laya Jack

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

Lorraine Elena Roses and Ruth Elizabeth Randolph, with their publication, Harlem Renaissance And Beyond: Literary Biographies of 100 Black Women Writers 1900-1945, embarked on a mission to bring to the forefront of literary scholarship black women who wrote significant works in the early twentieth century, but who have received little or no recognition. Although their research does not provide a comprehensive account on the lives and works of these women, they offer very pertinent information, which "broaden[s] the fields of scholarly inquiry while opening up the possibility of a revised history and tradition in black, women's and American literature." Their …


Producing Early Modern Space And The Mind In Public And Closet Drama, Megan M. Gallagher Jan 2012

Producing Early Modern Space And The Mind In Public And Closet Drama, Megan M. Gallagher

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

The construction of space has become such a common process for modernity that its culture would argue spatial experiences as intrinsic in nature. However, it is through the consideration of the experience of space and spatial boundaries one notices the cooperative nature of space. This thesis explores the early modem constructions of space and the development of the modem idea of the mind through the closet dramas of John Milton (Samson Agonistes) and Elizabeth Cary (The Tragedy of Mariam the Fair Queen of the Jewry), and the public dramas of William Shakespeare (Measure for Measure and Julius Caesar). Our notions …

Try To See Me As Me: Understanding Autism In Children's Literature, Brandee Roelfs

Autism diagnosis is growing each year. While the diagnosis is growing, the information available for elementary children is. The purpose of this project is to create a children's book that will enhance student's understanding of autism in their peers. Research questions guide this study:

1. What should be the nature of the characters and storyline in a fiction book that educates children about autism?

2. What particular information about autism should be interwoven into a fictional story featuring autism?

This children's book created is for elementary students, targeted to grades second and third. The book compares a brother to his …


Positive Portrayal Of Family In Children's Books With Homosexual Characters, Amanda Skellenger Jan 2012

Positive Portrayal Of Family In Children's Books With Homosexual Characters, Amanda Skellenger

Graduate Research Papers

In today's highly diverse society, it is important to include information in children's education reflecting the diversity they will encounter in their lives. Family is an important aspect in the lives of all children as well as being a diverse aspect of society; it is important that all family structures have adequate representation in a school curriculum (Chapman, 1999). The first article in the American Library Association's (ALA) Library Bill of Rights (1996) states "books and other library resources should be provided for the interest, information, and enlightenment of all people of the community the library serves. Materials should not …


Spinning Wheels, Weaving Words, And Cupbearing: The Wife's Lament And Female Power, Agency And Resistance In Anglo-Saxon England, Alison Leytem Jan 2012

Spinning Wheels, Weaving Words, And Cupbearing: The Wife's Lament And Female Power, Agency And Resistance In Anglo-Saxon England, Alison Leytem

Honors Program Theses

Looking through the lens of Anglo-Saxon womens' roles as peaceweavers, cupbearers, inciters or "whetting women" in their ability to practice and assert power, resistance and agency within conjugal bonds with husbands or lovers, we can better understand the ambiguous Old English poem The Wife's Lament. By exploring the poem, documents that history has left us, and previous foundational research, I will investigate whether the role women played in Anglo Saxon society mattered, and if either way, they had significant opportunity for agency.
