Volume 27 ii On the Porch, in Summer Patrick Brian Cooley First Place, Poetry The Old Man sits, cross legged applying milk-chocolate paint in thick layers like frosting, then spreads them thin. The dog, Blondie, overeager for his attentions runs up and nearly hurls herself into the paint. She is reprimanded coarsely. I guide her away— tail wagging uncomprehendingly—down the stairs. I pause to watch her play in the grass, but she simply lays. It is here I notice a board—broken—removed: Beneath is a world of dried gossamer spun by living spindle. Unthinking, with curious finger I encroach. Defying the sovereignty of nature, I gingerly press at a small casing, which dislodges and tumbles to the ground, spilling eggs like dried amaranth into the breeze. ‘It must have been there ages,’ I think, ‘Perhaps the heat killed them—shame.’ I turn to look toward the yard, But from the corner of my eye, movement. With eight fleet feet she flies across the wooden beam and stops: There’s nothing left to mind. 1 Echoes and Images .

He cometh up, and is cut down, like a flower; he fleeth as it were a shadow , and never continueth in one stay. In the mid of life we are in death (1662 Anglican Church "Burial of the Dead"). *** But mark, madam, we live amongst riddles and mysteries—the most obvious things, which come in our way, have dark sides, which the quickest sight cannot penetrate into; and even the clearest and most exalted understandings amongst us find ourselves puzzled and at a loss in almost every cranny of nature's works. Laurence Sterne (1713-68) Stepping out of the shadows…I…. Rhetoric, as a subject of investigation, is perhaps older than the invention of writing. One piece of evidence for this is its root in the Indo-European word, aera , "to say (something) with a specific intention" (Greek ρ in direct descent to the modern 1 age; please see Buck, entry under "speak, say,"). Another kind of evidence is the abundance of treatises on rhetoric, Aristotle, Cicero, Quintilian, Burke, Booth and Ong to mention some of the most prominent. Despite their differences in method, all these authors would perhaps agree that the key ingredient of rhetoric is author/speaker intentionality— the power of minds to be about, to represent, or to stand for, things, properties and states of affairs plus non-existent things.

Instead, it reviews select pulp novels of the hard-boiled genre from the 1950s in order to understand the femme fatale’s role in U.S.

But women’s roles in comics have often been diminished as they become victims, damsels in distress, and sidekicks. This thesis explores the problems that female characters often face in comic books, but it also shows the positive representation that new creators have introduced over the years.
