Self-Reflective Essay, Megan Lewis-Johnson
Self-Reflective Essay, Megan Lewis-Johnson
Whittier Scholars Program
This project is an essay documenting the author’s inspiration and screenwriting process for their Senior Project as well as a script of the final work titled ‘Once Upon a Time’. The self-reflective essay allows the audience to better comprehend the five crucial elements in the author’s writing process which include: organic free-writing or Script vomit,” script-writing and solo show research, conscious character building, script-writing explosion marathons, and finally redrafting. The screenplay is centered around a character named Evelynn and discusses topics such as loss, pain, murder, and love.
Race, Politics, And Public Housekeeping: Contending Forces In Pauline Hopkins’S Boston, Betsy Klima
Race, Politics, And Public Housekeeping: Contending Forces In Pauline Hopkins’S Boston, Betsy Klima
Trotter Review
For Pauline Hopkins, the decision to present readers with a fictional yet faithful portrayal of urban African-American life centered in Boston, which at that time was the capital of African-American advancement, was political. In her introduction to Contending Forces (1900), she writes: “Fiction is of great value to any people as a preserver of manners and customs—religious, political and social. It is a record of growth and development from generation to generation. No one will do this for us; we must ourselves develop the men and women who will faithfully portray the inmost thoughts and feelings of the Negro with …
Stressed Sexuality : How Props, Stage Directions And Setting Convey Tormented Male Protagonists In Selected Plays Of Tennessee Williams, Sara Temme
Theses, Dissertations and Culminating Projects
This thesis examines how the stage directions, props, and setting are patterned to create themes in character development in selected Tennessee Williams plays. This analysis focuses on four plays from a successful period in Williams’ life from 1955-1961 in which the playwright had established a pattern in developing sexually desirable male characters using symbolism and space: Cat on a Hot Tin Roof (1955), Suddenly Last Summer (1958), Sweet Bird of Youth (1959), and The Night of the Iguana (1961). All four illustrate how Williams shapes the structure of the scenes by directing the space the characters reside in. Characters are …

Specular Subjects : Technologies Of Vision In The Transatlantic Novel, 1719-1850, Matthew Henry Pangborn
Legacy Theses & Dissertations (2009 - 2024)
Scholars of the long eighteenth century have traced the rise in modern Anglophone culture of an observational, episto-factual standard of truth and value, new techniques of surveillance and disciplinarity, image-based and global networks of consumption and exchange, and a mass culture honing its ostensibly comprehensive power of sight through new media of text and image. While debate has occurred over the origins and meanings of the ascendancy of such an overwhelmingly visual mode of engagement with the world, scholars have tended to examine such topics in isolation, with little attention to the ethical and political consequences of the material practices …

Reading Joycean Comedy And Faulknerian Tragedy: Exploring The Significance Of Location, Literary Influence And The Possibilities Of Heroism With Leopold Bloom In Joyce’S Ulysses And Quentin Compson In Faulkner’S The Sound And The Fury And Absalom, Absalom!, Colin R. Cummings
Honors Theses
The distinct similarity between Joyce’s and Faulkner’s philosophical concerns (the affirmation of life in spite of its myriad difficulties), and the striking disjuncture between their aesthetic approaches (comedy for Joyce and tragedy for Faulkner), is where my interest in this project began. I sought to explore the lives and works of both writers in order to get a sense of how two artists could attempt to convey a similar message through such different means. The first thing I explore is a number of similarities between Joyce’s and Faulkner’s personal worlds (particularly their intimate connections to location) and their sources of …
Lessons From The Believing Game, Tim Doherty
Lessons From The Believing Game, Tim Doherty
The Journal of the Assembly for Expanded Perspectives on Learning
My essay reflects on different lessons I have learned in using the believing game to promote deliberative dialogue in first-year writing courses. I have learned that it helps not to be in a hurry: spending enough preparation time with students thinking about belief itself, listening to students' stories and sense of attachment to beliefs, and playing the game repeatedly. I also explore the believing game as a mode of play, especially the fruitful way that role-play can be integrated into the believing game.

The Believing Game In Mathematics: Stories In A Discipline Of Doubt, Shelly Sheats Harkness, Catherin Pullin Lane, Sue Mau, Amber Brass
The Journal of the Assembly for Expanded Perspectives on Learning
Many people view mathematics as a discipline of certainty and rigidity. Answers are either right or wrong, and, when they are wrong, it is easy to play the doubting game. We invite readers into our mathematics classrooms as we story our attempts to play the believing game. We provide a lens into how we suspended our own logic, assumptions, and interpretations until we first tried to "unpack, " understand, and honor our students' logic, assumptions, and interpreta· tions. Within our individual stories, elements of tension, surprise, and wonder emerged as collective themes.

A Reflection On Habitual Belief And Habitual Doubt, Irene Papoulis
The Journal of the Assembly for Expanded Perspectives on Learning
Some people are habitual "believers" while others are habitual "doubters." I' m a believer, but doubting others helps me believe myself I explore the idea that examining our individual habitual relationships with believing and doubting helps us think better and relate better to others and to ourselves.
A Highly Incomplete Bibliography, Peter Elbow
A Highly Incomplete Bibliography, Peter Elbow
The Journal of the Assembly for Expanded Perspectives on Learning
I’m nervous to include this because I’ve not read a lot of these books and articles, and the whole thing is so inadequate for such a large topic. Many are titles I’ve jotted down for when I “have time.” But the list also includes a few suggestions from the authors in this issue, though this list mostly doesn’t duplicate the valuable Works Cited sections they’ve put with each of their essays. I’m risking the amateur quality of this enterprise in hopes that it can help others to pursue an important issue. (At the end, I’ve listed my various essays about …

Imagining Judith: An Examination Of Judith's Representation In The Middle English Metrical Paraphrase Of The Old Testament, Terri Vaughn
Imagining Judith: An Examination Of Judith's Representation In The Middle English Metrical Paraphrase Of The Old Testament, Terri Vaughn
English Dissertations - Archive
The poet-paraphraser of The Middle English Metrical Paraphrase of the Old Testament (MEMPOT) imagines Judith and other women biblical characters as courtly ladies, whose performance and dress reflect the values and customs of literary courtesy, as well as the poet's interpretation of Christian morality. Judith's narrative in particular resonates with the positive views accorded to women by some medieval romance texts and yet supersedes these by positioning Judith as mobile-able to move independently within the world of men and aggressively verbal commanding her fellow Hebrews and advising the Assyrian general. These characteristics go beyond the mobility and verbal acuity of …
