A Narrative Poem Of Iowa’S Immigrants, Ann Gumz
Graduate Research Papers
The purpose of this research project was to create a narrative poem for children in kindergarten through fifth grade about the immigrants to Iowa.

A bibliography of source material was created using selections from Basic Iowa Materials and the web site, The Ultimate Collection of News Links. The author also used five classic narrative poems as models and the elements of good book design recommended by experts as guidelines. A narrative poem was produced using rhythm and …

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI
The theory of language promoted by cognitive linguistics points to metaphor as the crucial element of language and thought: a mode of thinking which determines our perception of reality. Stressing the importance of metaphor in our everyday life, George Lakoff, Mark Johnson, and Mark Turner state that the nature of poetic metaphors is the same as the nature of conventional metaphors which appear in "standard" language. Creating poetic metaphors, poets simply explore "conventional" metaphors, using four major strategies: expanding, elaborating, composing, and questioning. Focusing on questioning as the main strategy through which American "multicultural" literatures can undermine basic Western concepts …
Social Class Depiction In Selected Award-Winning Children's Narrative Fiction, Edward L. Starkenburg
Social Class Depiction In Selected Award-Winning Children's Narrative Fiction, Edward L. Starkenburg
Dissertations and Theses @ UNI
This qualitative content analysis was designed to meet the following three objectives: to build an awareness of the depiction of social class in children's literature, to bolster the literature base on this depiction, and to better inform those who work with children's literature of its content in order to facilitate knowledgeable decisions regarding the selection and discussion of this literature. Eisner's (1991) connoisseurship and criticism heuristic guided the research throughout the data gathering as well as the inductive and deductive analyses of that data. The results of the study facilitate understanding and discerning social class in future experiences with children's …

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI
This is a novella that captures the feelings and moods of Jason Ebley, an alienated youth growing up in the Midwest What sets this work apart from other "coming-of-age" stories is that it is told from the perspective of a shadow figure who appears when the main character nearly drowns at a young age. This unique narrator gives insights into the conflicts Jason faces as he attempts to decide what his future holds. A few examples of what his struggles include: romantic relationships, friendships, family, abuse, suicide and much more.

A Look At Adoption Through Young Adult Fiction, Suzanne K. Duneman
Graduate Research Papers
This content analysis study examines adoptees and their families in nineteen young adult novels. An analysis was made of the adoptees sense of identity, the decision to search for their birth families, and their familial relationships. Sixty-three percent of the adoptees speculated about their birth families. Fifty-three percent of the characters did search for their birth families. Of that group, ninety percent had doubts during the search. In the conclusion of the novels sixty-three percent continued to have a relationship with both their adoptive and birth families, and thirty-seven percent maintained a relationship with only their adoptive family.
Voices In The Fire, James Harrold
Voices In The Fire, James Harrold
Dissertations and Theses @ UNI
"Voices in the Fire" is a memoir which culminates three main themes: child abuse, mental illness, and Asian American identity. The theme of child abuse deals with domestic violence suffered at the hands of an alcoholic father, my mother withstanding the deliberate beatings, standing in my place so I could be saved. The child abuse influences later patterns of my adult mental condition, causing self-repudiation of Asian American heritage. In the memoir, I seek out counseling at the suggestion of a friend. I feel unstable and uncertain about what's happening around me. When I go to the mental health center, …
