I am a sophomore this year, I am a member of the Aurora staff , the computer science club, and the black student union. I never thought I would actually place in one of these kinds of contests but someone always encouraged me to do so. Barbara Purviance Placed 1st in Poetry I'm a junior chemistry major, and I work here on campus in the Water Quality Lab. The poem that I submitted was inspired by my own family and the genealogy research that I do in my free time. Brent Holmes Placed 1st in Non Fiction Placed 2nd in Fiction Brent Holmes once had a pet fish named Goldie. He was such a good little fish that he decided to help it out a little more, and being a young man unsure of the workings of life, attempted to bring the little fish out of his bowl, "for leg-room". Unfortunately, the fish became a terrible room-mate for Brent, leaving clothing on the floor, keeping the room "occupied" for long spaces of time, and setting fire to Brent's bed on multiple occasions. One night in a fit of passion Brent did what he thought was right at the time: He flushed Goldie down the toilet. Now he's a senior in college and he wonders about the wisdom of his action: shouldn't he have at least tried to talk to the fish, make things better? To remedy this lack of communication, he became a Communication major at Heidelberg University, hoping that the next fish he got would have a better chance to stave off his fury. He also likes David Bowie. A lot. Laurie Van Valkenburgh Placed 3rd in Poetry Laura Van Valkenburgh is a sophomore majoring in AYA Language Arts Education and minoring in Spanish. She is the president of 'Berg Allies and a clarinetist in the Symphonic Band. 4 The Morpheus: A Heidelberg University Publication Natty Berry Place 1st in Academic Literature Placed 2nd in Non Fiction, Placed 3rd in Fiction My name is Natty Berry, I am a Junior English Major.

Ray Ouellette Placed 2nd in Poetry Placed 3rd in Academic Literature Ray Ouellette is a senior majoring in English (Writing Emphasis) and Theatre. Ray is a member of Rho Eta Delta and Alpha Psi Omega, and other things that he's forgotten when he wrote this. Ray is both a great athlete and a true humanitarian. Liz Kurtzman Placed 1st in Fiction Placed 1st and 2nd in Visual Arts Liz is a senior in the illustrious English department here at Heidelberg. Besides editing the Morpheus, she also is an editor and columnist for the Kilikilik and a DJ for WHEI. She recently wrote a play that was performed onstage at Gundlach to limited acclaim. She's looking forward to graduating and going on to...more school. Darn. Matt Echelberry Placed 2nd in Academic Literature Matt Echelberry, better known as “Mclovin” throughout campus, is an English Writing Major/Film Studies Minor from Bucyrus, Ohio. A junior this year, he is very involved on campus as Co-Editor in Chief of The Kilikilik and a member of Sigma Tau Nu fraternity. When he’s not writing articles or class papers, Matt also writes short stories, poetry, and song lyrics. The Morpheus: A Heidelberg University Publication 5 Fiction 6 The Morpheus: A Heidelberg University Publication Patching the Cracks Morpheus ‘10 by: Liz Kurtzman Callie wasn’t very impressed by Michael’s new house. “It’s not very big,” she pointed out. “And it’s boring.” He knelt down so they were face to face. “Well,” he said with as big a smile as he could muster, “It’s big enough for you and me. And I was hoping you could help me decorate.” Her face lit up. “Really?” “Yep. We can go to the store today to buy stuff for your room. Then we’ll start on the rest of the house next time you come over.” It worked like a charm. She talked enthusiastically about how she was going to decorate the whole way. Most of her descriptions featured a great deal of pink and glitter. By the time they left the store, there was hardy room to fit the curtains, pillows, wall stickers, and stuff ed animals into the car. He looked at the receipt and winced. Veronica would probably say that this was bribery. She would probably be right. Surprisingly, it only took about an hour to put the room in some order, though his shoulder ached fiercely when they finished. It still looked empty, but Callie gravely promised him that she would bring some of her things next time. To fill the rest of the evening, they went on a walk around the neighborhood. It was a blustery day in March, on the tail end of winter, and dirty heaps of partially melted snow hid the crumbling yellow curbs. They picked their way over the glacial chunks to the street, leaving the house behind them. The street looked gray, like the house, and the sky, and the sidewalk, and the snow. There wasn’t much to see in the neighborhood, so they circled the block. Callie skipped over to the corner lot and peered through the warped fence. “What’s in here?” Michael followed slowly. “It’s probably just an old parking lot, honey.” “Nu-uh. It’s green.” The fence was rusty and bowed, as if the weight of the gray sky had become too much for it to sup- port. Cracks meandered through the asphalt like lines on a highway map. He removed his hands from his pockets and linked his fingers through the fence. His voice, when he spoke, sounded as flat as the green cracked surface before them. “It’s a tennis court.” “Tennis?”She repeated, nose wrinkled in confusion. “Like on the Wii?” He smiled slightly. “Well, it’s a little diff erent in real life.” “How?” The Morpheus: A Heidelberg University Publication 7 “It’s much harder.” He placed a hand on her back and gently steered her to face the house. “C’mon, let’s go make some hot cocoa.” This was enough to distract her. “With marshmallows?” “Is there any other way to drink it?” He teased. She ran on ahead and he followed at a more leisure- ly pace, casting one last lingering glance at the corner lot. ~*~*~*~ He couldn’t recall, now, when he had started to hate tennis. Was it the first time he got shin splints and had to stand in that barrel of ice until his skin burned? Or maybe the year he’d had to play varsity, when the team had won the championship, but he hardly won a game. Then there was the time he had to miss the formal dance in order to compete at Nationals. He didn’t know when it started, but he remembered the day it ended with incredibly clarity. It was the final stone that broke the scale. ~*~*~*~ The next weekend that Callie came, it was a little warmer and the sun was making a gallant eff ort to shine. They focused on decorating the kitchen this time, with sunflowers and cheerful greens and yel- lows. When she was satisfied with the result, they decided to walk again. For some strange reason, Callie seemed to be drawn to that tennis court. She flounced back to its derelict cage and without hesitation, slipped through the open door. The door looked as if it had stood ajar for years and its hinges were no doubt as immovable as stone. Michael was much more reluctant to step through the rusty barrier. The sight of the abandoned and decayed court troubled him more than he would have guessed. The green surface was pebbled, like the scales of some great beast, and the corpses of shriveled plants struggled to escape through the splits in the pavement. Crooked poles leaned toward each other, as foreboding as gravestones, and one bedrag- gled net was strung across the court like the ancient web of some great spider. Callie had none of her father’s trepidation. She spun in a circle on the court and fell to the ground dramatically. She lay there, spread-eagled, and studied the sky. After a moment, she raised her head to find her father and saw him standing at the door, immobile.

  • William Murray
    When it Mattered Episode 17: William Murray Chitra Ragavan: Hello everyone. I'm Chitra Ragavan and this is When it Mattered. When it Mattered is a podcast exploring how leaders are forged from critical moments and how they deal with and learn from adversity. My guest today is the legendary William Murray. He's a retired senior operations officer who spent nearly 38 years at the Central Intelligence Agency. During his tenure, Murray was posted to some of the most dangerous CIA stations in the world, often during war and civil unrest including Beirut, Tehran, Pakistan, Syria, and the Balkans. This episode is brought to you by Goodstory, an advisory firm helping technology startups find their narrative. Chitra Ragavan: Murray also held senior management roles in Washington DC and was seconded in the US Senate to help create the intelligence reform and terrorism prevention act of 2004, which resulted in the largest change in US government structures since the end of World War II. Murray has received numerous awards including the Distinguished Career Intelligence Medal. He currently is founder of the Alphom group. A business intelligence and risk management consulting firm. Bill, welcome to the podcast. William Murray: Hi Chitra, how are you this afternoon? Chitra Ragavan: I'm good. How are you? William Murray: I'm fine. Thank you. Chitra Ragavan: You come from a humble working class, Irish Catholic family in Boston. In some ways, you were an unlikely candidate for the CIA. William Murray: That's true. At the time I joined virtually everybody who had come in before me and the people were still coming in were all Ivy League, sort of East Coast big families, long established families, et cetera.

    Making Markets for Japanese Cinema: A Study of Distribution Practices for Japanese Films on DVD in the UK from 2008 to 2010 Jonathan Wroot PhD Thesis Submitted to the University of East Anglia For the qualification of PhD in Film Studies 2013 1 Making Markets for Japanese Cinema: A Study of Distribution Practices for Japanese Films on DVD in the UK from 2008 to 2010 2 Acknowledgements Thanks needed to be expressed to a number of people over the last three years – and I apologise if I forget anyone here. First of all, thank you to Rayna Denison and Keith Johnston for agreeing to oversee this research – which required reining in my enthusiasm as much as attempting to tease it out of me and turn it into coherent writing. Thanks to Mark Jancovich, who helped me get started with the PhD at UEA. A big thank you also to Andrew Kirkham and Adam Torel for doing what they do at 4Digital Asia, Third Window, and their other ventures – if they did not do it, this thesis would not exist. Also, a big thank you to my numerous other friends and family – whose support was invaluable, despite the distance between most of them and Norwich. And finally, the biggest thank you of all goes to Christina, for constantly being there with her support and encouragement. 3 Abstract The thesis will examine how DVD distribution can affect Japanese film dissemination in the UK. The media discourse concerning 4Digital Asia and Third Window proposes that this is the principal factor influencing their films’ presence in the UK from 2008 to 2010.

  • ALL MY SONS a Play in Three Acts by Arthur Miller Characters: Joe Keller
    ALL MY SONS a play in three acts by Arthur Miller Characters: Joe Keller (Keller) Kate Keller (Mother) Chris Keller Ann Deever George Deever Dr. Jim Bayliss (Jim) Sue Bayliss Frank Lubey Lydia Lubey Bert Act One The back yard of the Keller home in the outskirts of an American town. August of our era. The stage is hedged on right and left by tall, closely planted poplars which lend the yard a secluded atmosphere. Upstage is filled with the back of the house and its open, unroofed porch which extends into the yard some six feet. The house is two stories high and has seven rooms. It would have cost perhaps fifteen thousand in the early twenties when it was built. Now it is nicely painted, looks tight and comfortable, and the yard is green with sod, here and there plants whose season is gone. At the right, beside the house, the entrance of the driveway can be seen, but the poplars cut off view of its continuation downstage. In the left corner, downstage, stands the four‐foot‐high stump of a slender apple tree whose upper trunk and branches lie toppled beside it, fruit still clinging to its branches. Downstage right is a small, trellised arbor, shaped like a sea shell, with a decorative bulb hanging from its forward‐curving roof. Carden chairs and a table are scattered about. A garbage pail on the ground next to the porch steps, a wire leaf‐burner near it. On the rise: It is early Sunday morning. Joe Keller is sitting in the sun reading the want ads of the Sunday paper, the other sections of which lie neatly on the ground beside him.

The director did not attend the festivities associated with the premiere, however, and the reception given to the film by Japa­ nese critics and reporters, though positive, was described by a French critic who had been deeply involved in the project as having "something of the air of an official embalming" (Raison 1985, 9).

He has rich experience about life of the common man in America which get reflected in his plays. All My Sons (1947) and Death of Salesman (1949) reflected about married women in American society. In his early plays, by depicting major women characters like Kate Keller and Linda Loman as both wives and mothers according to the social condition and dominant cultural value. Miller exposes their bitterness and frustration in the traditional gender would by depicting them both victims and victimizer under the particular society. This paper attempts to study the portrayal of married women in Miller’s contemporary American society. Kate Keller is a busy housewife. She asked her husband “will you do me a favour Joe? Don’t be helpful.” Linda Loman is Willy Loman’s wife who loves him, despite all his difficulties. Thus Miller presents the role of married women in family as well as in society I. Introduction: Arthur Miller first Broadway hit All My Sons (1947) and masterpieces Death of a Salesman (1949) are his early plays of the contemporary American society.

  • The Thin Red Line
    THE THIN RED LINE by Terrence Malick Based on the Novel by James Jones USE FOR EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY To the Memory of James Jones And Those Who Served With Him They Live With Us It was an act of love. Those men on the line were my family, my home. They were closer to me than I can say, closer than my friends had been or ever would be. They had never let me down, and I could never do it to them. I had to be with them, rather than let them down and me live with the knowledge that I might have saved them. Men, I now know, do not fight for flag or country, for the Marine Corps or glory or any other abstraction. They fight for one another. Any man in combat who lacks comrades who will die for him, or for whom he is willing to die, is not a man at all. He is truly damned. William Manchester, the journalist, writing in Goodbye Darkness about his experience on Guadalcanal.

    © 2018 Donata Panizza ALL RIGHTS RESERVED OVEREXPOSING FLORENCE: JOURNEYS THROUGH PHOTOGRAPHY, CINEMA, TOURISM, AND URBAN SPACE by DONATA PANIZZA A dissertation submitted to the School of Graduate Studies Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey In partial fulfillment of the requirements For the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Program in Italian Written under the direction of Professor Rhiannon Noel Welch And approved by ________________________________ ________________________________ ________________________________ ________________________________ New Brunswick, New Jersey OCTOBER, 2018 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Overexposing Florence: Journeys through Photography, Cinema, Tourism, and Urban Space by DONATA PANIZZA Dissertation Director Rhiannon Noel Welch This dissertation examines the many ways in which urban form and visual media interact in 19th-, 20th-, and 21st-centuries Florence. More in detail, this work analyzes photographs of Florence’s medieval and Renaissance heritage by the Alinari Brothers atelier (1852- 1890), and then retraces these photographs’ relationship to contemporary visual culture – namely through representations of Florence in international cinema, art photography, and the guidebook – as well as to the city’s actual structure. Unlike previous scholarship, my research places the Alinari Brothers’ photographs in the context of the enigmatic processes of urban modernization that took place in Florence throughout the 19th century, changing its medieval structure into that of a modern city and the capital of newly unified Italy from 1865 to 1871. The Alinari photographs’ tension between the establishment of the myth of Florence as the cradle of the Renaissance and an uneasy attitude towards modernization, both cherished and feared, produced a multi-layered city portrait, which raises questions about crucial issues such as urban heritage preservation, mass tourism, (de)industrialization, social segregation, and real estate speculation.
