Continuity in Color: The Persistence of Symbolic Meaning in Myths, Tales, and Tropes An Honors Thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for Honors in the Department of Literature and Philosophy. By McKinley May Under the mentorship of Joe Pellegrino ABSTRACT This paper examines the symbolism of the colors black, white, and red from ancient times to modern. It explores ancient myths, the Grimm canon of fairy tales, and modern film and television tropes in order to establish the continuity of certain symbolisms through time. In regards to the fairy tales, the examination focuses solely on the lesser-known stories, due to the large amounts of scholarship surrounding the “popular” tales. The continuity of interpretation of these three major colors (black, white, and red) establishes the link between the past and the present and demonstrates the influence of older myths and beliefs on modern understandings of the colors.

    BASEBALL Photographs by JOHN W. MCDONOUGH Touched By an Angel Inspired by the memory of Nick Adenhart— and the remarkable recovery of his friend Jon Wilhite—L.A. has overcome a bleak start to seize control of the AL West | BY LEE JENKINS hen Angels pitching coach Mike Butcher walked out of the UC Irvine Medical Center at dawn on April 9, one of his players was dead, two of the player’s friends were dead and a third friend was on Wlife support, his skull no longer attached to his spinal column. Butcher wanted to believe that the third friend could pull through, but after what he had seen that night, hope was hard to muster. “His chances,” Butcher says, “were slim to none.” Dr. Nitin Bhatia, the 36-year-old director of the Spine Center at UCI, had delivered the grisly diagnosis: internal decapitation. “I read the CT scan, and it was depressing,” Bhatia says. “Ninety-five percent of people with internal decapitation die immediately or within a day or two. Of the other five percent, most are either quadriplegic or on a ventilator the rest of their lives.” By the afternoon of April 9 the baseball world had learned of the death of Angels starting pitcher Nick Adenhart and his friends Courtney Stewart and BOUnd BY TRAGEdy Weaver (left) pays tribute Henry Pearson in a car crash, and information started to emerge to Adenhart before every about that other passenger, a 24-year-old youth baseball coach start and had a hug for named Jon Wilhite, who had been a catcher at Cal State–Fullerton.

  • A's Daily News Clips; April 10-12, 2010
    A’s Daily News Clips; April 10-12, 2010 A's energetic backup infielder Adam Rosales has four RBIs in win over Angels By Joe Stiglich, Oakland Tribune 04/12/2010 ANAHEIM — Sunday was a day of rest for some A's regulars, and that made it a day of opportunity for Adam Rosales. Getting the start at second base, and drawing his first at-bats of the season, Rosales drove in four runs to key the A's 9-4 victory over the Los Angeles Angels before a crowd of 40,601 at Angel Stadium. Much was written about Rosales' high-energy style of play before Oakland obtained him from Cincinnati in February. Now the A's are experiencing it for themselves. In his first at-bat, Rosales lined a 1-0 pitch from Joe Saunders for a solo homer in the second inning. Sprinting immediately after contact, Rosales seemed to reach first base before the ball cleared the left-field wall. "He's someone who probably needs to take a nap," A's starting pitcher Dallas Braden said amusedly. "He plays like he hasn't slept in four days. I relish players like that. He doesn't know any other speed. You get somebody to play with that kind of energy, it gets you going." It's early, but the A's are a confident bunch after opening the season 5-2 against division foes Seattle and Los Angeles. Today marks their fifth consecutive day atop the American League West. The last time they occupied first place was May 12, 2008.

Let's get the season started in style by running down an interesting Statcast™ stat for each team -- in many cases, something that never could have been measured prior to 2015. AMERICAN LEAGUE EAST Blue Jays: 1.07 seconds: Ryan Goins' baseball-leading exchange time, which is a way to measure the time that elapses between a fielder receiving the ball and releasing the throw. What that means is that no infielder in the game managed to get rid of the ball as quickly as Goins did, which makes sense given his stellar defensive reputation. Orioles: 82.2 mph: Darren O'Day's average exit velocity against on four-seam fastballs, the second lowest among 407 pitchers who threw at least 100 of them. Despite averaging just 88 mph on his otherwise unimposing fastball, O'Day's swing-and-miss rate of 36.8 percent was better than every pitcher other than Aroldis Chapman, and the hitters that did make contact against O'Day's funky sidearm delivery failed to make good contact, leading to a .097 average against it.

  • A's News Clips, Saturday, July 10, 2010 OAKLAND A's LOSE
    A’s News Clips, Saturday, July 10, 2010 OAKLAND A'S LOSE FOURTH STRAIGHT, FALLING TO LOS ANGELES ANGELS By Joe Stiglich, Oakland Tribune A's manager Bob Geren spoke with unwavering optimism before Friday's game about his team's chances of jumping back into the American League West race. Those hopes hinge on the A's taking care of business in games such as the one they lost Friday. The A's fought back to tie the Los Angeles Angels three times, only to fall 6-5 when Erick Aybar homered off closer Andrew Bailey in the top of the 10th. The A's are now 0-4 on a six-game homestand leading into the All-Star break. Add to that bad news the acquisition by the division-leading Texas Rangers of former Cy Young Award winner Cliff Lee on Friday, and the battle for the A's to re-enter the race just got tougher. Geren was asked before the game if he thought the Rangers were catchable, and if the A's were capable of doing the apprehending. "I am (optimistic)," Geren said. "I think we're going to get some (injured) players back that are going to help us. And we play those teams ahead of us in the second half as well." Including the two games left this weekend, the A's play the Rangers and second-place Angels a combined total of 21 more times. Already, a demonstrative difference between the A's and Angels — the ability to do damage with one swing — has come into play.
