MARTIN'S PRESS AUGUST 2017 Emma in the Night Wendy Walker From the bestselling author of All Is Not Forgotten comes a thriller about two missing sisters, a twisted family, and what happens when one girl comes back... One night three years ago, the Tanner sisters disappeared: fifteen-year-old Cass and seventeen-year-old Emma. Three years later, Cass returns, without her sister Emma. Her story is one of kidnapping and betrayal, of a mysterious island where the two were held. But to forensic psychiatrist Dr. Abby Winter, something doesn't add up.

VARINA by Charles Frazier (2018) FICTION F Viewed Superficially This
VARINA by Charles Frazier (2018) FICTION F Viewed superficially this historical novel is the recollected fictional biography of the First lady of the Confederate states of America told in a stream of consciousness style. That style blurs the distinction between fact and fiction for the reader and between facts and memory for the characters in the book. That ploy becomes even murkier when you discover that the first lady like many upper class women of that time freely indulged in drugs for both recreational and quasi medicinal purposes. It took me a while to get used to that style but I did come to appreciate if not like it. It just feels right in the context of the story; that is it seems like the languid pace of life people of means had in the antebellum south with their parties and social events with match making and jockeying for position. Did these people have any idea how the other half lived? Probably not, not until the war when it was thrust upon them. V though was a rarity in that world, smart savvy and well educated with a reading knowledge of Classical Greek. She understood the irony and hypocrisy of their pretensions and had empathy for the suffering of commoners and slaves. Her children were her children, black or white, adopted or not. In spite of her intellectual prowess and empathy she was still forced into the subservient role of women at that time and despite her lofty position in a gilded cage she was unable to do anything about the devastation and misery all around her. -
Addition to Summer Letter
May 2020 Dear Student, You are enrolled in Advanced Placement English Literature and Composition for the coming school year. Bowling Green High School has offered this course since 1983. I thought that I would tell you a little bit about the course and what will be expected of you. Please share this letter with your parents or guardians. A.P. Literature and Composition is a year-long class that is taught on a college freshman level. This means that we will read college level texts—often from college anthologies—and we will deal with other materials generally taught in college. You should be advised that some of these texts are sophisticated and contain mature themes and/or advanced levels of difficulty. In this class we will concentrate on refining reading, writing, and critical analysis skills, as well as personal reactions to literature. A.P. Literature is not a survey course or a history of literature course so instead of studying English and world literature chronologically, we will be studying a mix of classic and contemporary pieces of fiction from all eras and from diverse cultures. This gives us an opportunity to develop more than a superficial understanding of literary works and their ideas. Writing is at the heart of this A.P. course, so you will write often in journals, in both personal and researched essays, and in creative responses. You will need to revise your writing. I have found that even good students—like you—need to refine, mature, and improve their writing skills. You will have to work diligently at revising major essays. -

Mystical Reading: the Literary Journey of Charles Frazier’S
MYSTICAL READING: THE LITERARY JOURNEY OF CHARLES FRAZIER’S COLD MOUNTAIN by MARSHA ELLEN FRENCH (Under the Direction of Douglas Anderson) ABSTRACT In a novel about journeys, the literary journey of Charles Frazier’s Cold Mountain encompasses all. As the two main characters, Ada and Inman, journey towards home and emotional openness and away from their respective pasts, they also journey towards a deeper relationship with books, and thus words, symbols, and composition. Through reading William Bartram’s Travels, Inman gains guidance on his dangerous path. By trading her classical Charleston education for natural study, Ada gains independence and builds a relationship with her new home. Ultimately, these literary journeys pervade every aspect of the characters’ lives as they transcend texts to mystically experience words, each other, and Cold Mountain itself.

HAMILTON (Under the Direction of John Weaver) ABSTRACT This study examines the various stereotypes that persist about the American South, giving consideration to the common stereotypes, their persistence, and the response of Southerners and non-Southerners to them. Further, it aims to examine in-depth the methods by which these stereotypes are perpetuated, such as literature, movies, television, and music. Within this dissertation, pieces of literature by traditional Southern authors, like William Faulkner and Tennessee Williams, are examined for the images they employ. Further, films such as Deliverance and Sweet Home Alabama, as well as television shows like The Dukes of Hazzard and The Beverly Hillbillies are analyzed for how they convey stereotypes about the South. -

CHICKEN AND DUMPLINGS: THE MOTIF OF FOOD IN APPALACHIAN LITERATURE by CYNTHIA L. SIBLEY THAYER Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of The University of Texas at Arlington in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY THE UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS AT ARLINGTON December 2010 Copyright © by Cynthia L. Sibley Thayer 2010 All Rights Reserved ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to thank my dissertation committee members, Tim Morris, Lewis Baker, and Ken Roemer, for their encouragement, notes, and willingness to read this manuscript as many times as needed. Although not an English major when I began my bachelor‘s degree, when I entered the English department at UTA I quickly realized my career goals changed. I enjoyed those undergraduate classes so much and knew that I wanted to teach English. Thanks also must go to my family. My parents, Mac and Linda Sibley, not only contributed monetarily to all of my degrees but their love and support has always been without fail. Without Mom‘s nagging to write about her family in some way and then to hurry and finish the manuscript, I could have floundered around for ten more years! Although passionate about my family in the hills, I am and will always be, a ―foreigner‖ in their eyes and I have Dad to thank for that! I must also thank Grandma Malvery Roberts Begley for her stories and her willingness to take me to places in eastern Kentucky where I could not go alone. I want to thank my husband, Kevin Thayer, for his patience and love while taking classes at night, staying up to read required texts, and letting me gallivant around eastern Kentucky with the folks while he stayed at home taking care of things. -
