PREFACE. The Author of the following work is a gentleman of colour, who was born and reared in North Carolina, united States. In early life he was left a destitute orphan, and had but few educational advantages. By the local authorities of Guildford County, in that statl', he was bound apprentice to a Planter, whose land was cultivated by the unrequited toil of a company of his enslaved fellow·creatures, whose labour was enforced by the whip, and whose faults, real or fictitious, were punished by torture. His master was also a heartless trader in human beings. It affords a glimpse into Slave morals, that though our Author was ti'ecborn, ami, in consequence of his mother being an Indian, legally l'x(>mpt fi'om' bondage, it was necessary tu provide ex· l)ressly in the indenture by which he \\'lIS bound, against his being kidnapped or ensnared into Slavery. In this service he mis.spent twelve precious years of his life, and became inured to the inflicting of the cruelties attendant upon.Man-stealing and Slave-driving. During the last five years of the time, the entire managenent of , the business was committed to his hands. Hence he is I iv. personally conversant with all the disgusting ddails of Plantation Slave-lif", of the Slave-pen, and of the Auc­ tion-block.

    A WINDOW TO JIM’S HUMANITY: THE DIALECTIC BETWEEN HUCK AND JIM IN MARK TWAIN’S ADVENTURES OF HUCKLEBERRY FINN Erich R. Anderson Submitted to the faculty of the University Graduate School in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Master of Arts in the Department of English, Indiana University November 2008 Accepted by the faculty of Indiana University, in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts. ___________________________________ Jane E. Schultz, Ph.D., Professor ___________________________________ Jonathan R. Eller, Ph.D., Professor Master’s Thesis Committee ____________________________________ Robert Rebein, Ph.D., Associate Professor ii Abstract Erich R. Anderson A WINDOW TO JIM’S HUMANITY: THE DIALECTIC BETWEEN HUCK AND JIM IN MARK TWAIN’S ADVENTURES OF HUCKLEBERRY FINN This thesis examines Mark Twain’s use of the dialectic between the characters Huck and Jim to illuminate Jim’s humanity in the classic novel Adventures of Huckleberry Finn . Over the course of their adventure, Huck learns that Jim is a human being and not property. This realization leads Huck to choose to assist Jim in his escape from captivity, and risk eternal damnation according to his religious beliefs. Huck’s decision is driven by the friendship that develops between him and his fellow fugitive on their adventure. Jim’s kindness and stewardship also provide a stark contrast to the treachery of the characters on the banks of the river. Twain thus crafts a message that slavery and race discrimination are wrong without taking the tone of an abolitionist, combining an amusing children’s story with a profound social message.

    SUSTAINING THE HALLYU International Social Media Promotion and Buzz for South Korean Movies and Series Vasileia Tolou Bachelor’s Thesis November 2014 Degree Programme in Media ABSTRACT Tampereen ammattikorkeakoulu Tampere University of Applied Sciences Degree Programme in Media VASILEIA TOLOU: Sustaining the Hallyu International Social Media Promotion and Buzz for South Korean Movies and Series Bachelor's thesis 71 pages November 2014 This thesis explores the use of social media by fan communities and official carriers for the promotion of South Korean cinema and television series (dramas) in the English language and to global audiences. The text begins with an introduction to the concept of the 'Korean Wave' or 'Hallyu', continues with some words about the rise in popularity of South Korean cinema and drama through it and ends with the difference between South Korean, other Asian and international audiences. Chapter 2 opens with a description of the access to these forms of entertainment in the past and present as well as a mention to how the crackdown on piracy changed things. The first main part of chapter 2 is about how fans, fan communities and illegal sources of content contribute to the buzz and independently promote movies and dramas through sites and different social media. The second main part of this chapter is a look into how content creators, legal content providers and affiliated services do the same through social media as well and how user generated content is utilized. Chapter 3 looks at some issues which might hinder the maximization of the appeal and reach of South Korean cinema and drama that can be achieved through online means.
