PROCLAMATION THANKSGIVING DAY Your Home Newspaper November 25, 1954 From within the hearts of a struggling but determ­ i ined colony of Pilgrims who settled on the desolate but t rich shores of America more than three centuries ago, % there came a united prayer for Divine guidance and an -*> expression of thankfulness for the blessings which enabled these freedom seeking people to survive the first year in their new country. The Almighty had provided bountiful crops and an abundance of wild game for food. Through the dense JAMESTOWN JOURNAL virgin forests he had provided logs for crude but com­ fortable shelters from the approaching long whiter. The small colony was at peace with the Indians. Al­ though they had endured hardships, sadness in the loss of loved ones, and faced a future of uncertainty, this little band of Pilgrims bowed their heads in prayer and VOL, 77 NO. 46 JAMESTOWN, OHIO, THURSDAY, NOV. 25, 1954,; TEN CENTS PER COPY gave thanks — ■ thus, was born Thanksgiving Day which has become a tradition in America.

    Houses of Lake Road Walking Tour Lake Forest, IL About Lake Road 1881 map • Lake Road is one of the very few straight roads in the park-like, curvilinear Plan of Lake Forest by landscape designer Almerin Hotchkiss (1857), running north-south across the deep ravines alongside the steep Lake Michigan bluff edge. The bluffs here rise 50’ to 100’ above the lake. • Due to the riparian nature of the landscape, many homes along Lake Road are located much closer to the street’s edge than elsewhere in east Lake Forest. • Most of the earliest homes and estates in town were built further inland, closer to the railroad station or Lake Forest University. The now- demolished Amzi Benedict residence (see 810 Lake Road) was an exception. • It was during the country estate era of the 1890s and early 1900s that home sites began to populate Lake Road, both the result of new development from Chicagoans building summer places and the subdivision of larger parcels by second-generation Lake Foresters. Few of the homes from this period are extant (see Ioka, Briar Hall, House in the Woods) – Halcyon Lodge (1350 Lake Road) is an exception. • Most homes on this tour come from one of three periods: pre-WWI 1910s (Shaw, Adler); mid-1920s-1930s (Adler, Frazier, Lindeberg, Anderson); or 1950s-1960s (Frazier, Colburn, Cerny, Milman). The Tour Start at the south end of Lake Road (south of Spring Lane) and walk north toward Lake Forest Cemetery Notes: • Some listed homes have been demolished; others may not be visible due to vegetation or fences/walls.

    INFORMATION TO USERS This dissertation was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.

Scott Fitzgerald in St. Paul, Minnesota on January 4, 1915 there was instant chemistry between them. That night in her diary, Ginevra exclaimed, “Scott perfectly darling am dipped about.” For his part, Scott was equally smitten with Ginevra; although he was due back in Princeton immediately, Scott stayed over an extra day to spend more time with the brunette debutante from Chicago. Upon his return to Princeton, Scott immediately sent Ginevra a special delivery letter; according to the customs of the time, such a letter constituted Scott’s formal declaration that he was interested in pursuing a correspondence with Ginevra. A vivacious and fun- loving girl, Ginevra was no stranger to the importance of a “special delie” and the epistolary game was afoot.

  • Jordan Baker, Gender Dissent, and Homosexual Passing in the Great Gatsby
    81 Jordan Baker, Gender Dissent, and Homosexual Passing in The Great Gatsby Maggie Gordon Froehlich Penn State Hazleton Jordan Baker instinctively avoided clever shrewd men . because she felt safer on a plane where any divergence from a code would be thought im- possible. She was incurably dishonest. She wasn’t able to endure being at a disadvantage, and given this unwillingness I suppose she had begun deal- ing in subterfuges when she was very young in order to keep that cool insolent smile turned to the world and yet satisfy the demands of her hard jaunty body. --F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby (63) Nearly every early twentieth-century American social bias is represented in F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby (1925). We see such bias in nar- rator Nick Carraway’s ruminations on class and on women, in the rumors of criminality surrounding the newly rich Jay Gatsby, and, most explicitly, in the racism, classism, anti-Semitism, and anti-immigrant sentiment es- poused by Tom Buchanan, whose wealth, race, and gender position him as the voice of the dominant ideology. Tom’s reading of “The Rise of the Colored Empire” by “that man Goddard” (17) is, of course, a reference to Lothrop Stoddard’s The Rising Tide of Color Against White World Supremacy, a popular work of scientific racism published just five years before Gatsby.1 Largely following Walter Benn Michaels’ reading of The Great Gatsby in the historical context of early-twentieth-century nativism, recent critics have interpreted Fitzgerald’s allusion to racialist discourse as a linking of class with race, perceiving the narrative of social mobility as representing a kind of “passing [which] is figuratively rendered in terms of racial black- ness” (Lewis 174).

Anna Krejzlová Studijní obor: BOH-AAL Ročník: 2. 2021 I confirm that this thesis is my own work written using solely the sources and literature properly quoted and acknowledged as works cited. České Budějovice, 10.5. 2021 Krejzlová Anna I would like to thank my supervisor, Einat Adar, M.A., Ph.D., for her guidance of this thesis, for the patience she had, and especially, for the time she spent revising my work. Annotation The main aim of this thesis is the analysis of the characters from Francis Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby (1925) and Ernest Hemingway’s Fiesta (1926) with a focus on the female protagonists. To fully understand the characters, the work first concentrates on the historical background. The theory primarily centres on the American society living in the 1920s, discusses the term The Lost Generation, provides an overview of the changes the women experienced in relation to the term a New Woman, and examines the real-life models that inspired both authors in creating the female characters. Subsequently, the work analyses female characters according to several themes: social standing, money, appearance, morals, relationships, and power. After the analysis, the problem of masculinity is discussed. At first, the thesis describes the changes in the perception of manliness from the 19th to the beginning of the 20th century and then, the male characters and their view on masculinity is examined in relation to the theoretical background.
