HUMPHRY have grouped related thoughts into a sentence pattern, substituting Director of State Library commas for dashes and replacing the final dash with the appropriate MASON TOLMAN terminal punctuation. This was done to make the narrative more read­ able. I have refrained from tampering with the author's orthographic system. Initially, as much as possible I wished to preserve the integrity of the original account. Secondly, observation revealed that the orthog- raphv would not confuse the modern reader. Such words as "gallopped," "waggan." '"hycrglyphics" and "underweigh" offer no problem. Capi­ talization did present problems, at least to the editor. Frequently, I could not determine conclusively whether a letter was capitalized or in the lower case. At such times, I gave the letter a long, hard look and relied on my best visual judgment. The author followed the practice of adding a flourish to "justify" a line. I have deleted these. I have changed ampersands to "and." In positioning quotation marks, and in other basic editorial matters. I have conformed to the principles out­ lined in The University of Chicago Press' A Manual of Style (eleventh edition, 1949, sixth impression.

Lieber November 2013 Advisor: Sheila Schroeder ©Copyright by Matthew R. Lieber 2013 All Rights Reserved Author: Matthew R. Lieber Title: House of Cards Advisor: Sheila Schroeder Degree Date: November 2013 Abstract The purpose of this thesis is to approach adapting a comic book into a film in a unique way. With so many comic-to-film adaptations following the trends of action movies, my goal was to adapt the popular comic book, Batman, into a screenplay that is not an action film. The screenplay, House of Cards, follows the original character of Miranda Greene as she attempts to understand insanity in Gotham’s most famous criminal, the Joker. The research for this project includes a detailed look at the comic book’s publication history, as well as previous film adaptations of Batman, and Batman in other relevant media.

Some 2,000 research fellows, grad­ uate students, and professionals in business and government each year work with the Center's international staff in cooperative study, training, and research. They examine major issues related to population, resources and development, the environment, culture, and communication in Asia, the Pacific, and the United States. The Center was established in 1960 by the United States Congress, which provides principal funding. Support also comes from more than twenty Asian and Pacific governments, as well as private agencies and corporations. Editor's Note UNTIL very recent times, the term melodrama was used pejoratively to typify inferior works of art that subscribed to an aesthetic of hyperbole and that were given to sensationalism and the crude manipulation of the audiences' emotions. However, during the last fifteen years or so, there has been a distinct rehabilitation of the term consequent upon a retheoriz­ ing of such questions as the nature of representation in cinema, the role of ideology, and female subjectivity in films.

As the temperance cause gained momentum during the 1820s many farmers abandoned their cider trees and transitioned to the cultivation of grafted winter apples in New England.

  • “Why So Serious?” Comics, Film and Politics, Or the Comic Book Film As the Answer to the Question of Identity and Narrative in a Post-9/11 World
    ABSTRACT “WHY SO SERIOUS?” COMICS, FILM AND POLITICS, OR THE COMIC BOOK FILM AS THE ANSWER TO THE QUESTION OF IDENTITY AND NARRATIVE IN A POST-9/11 WORLD by Kyle Andrew Moody This thesis analyzes a trend in a subgenre of motion pictures that are designed to not only entertain, but also provide a message for the modern world after the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. The analysis provides a critical look at three different films as artifacts of post-9/11 culture, showing how the integration of certain elements made them allegorical works regarding the status of the United States in the aftermath of the attacks. Jean Baudrillard‟s postmodern theory of simulation and simulacra was utilized to provide a context for the films that tap into themes reflecting post-9/11 reality. The results were analyzed by critically examining the source material, with a cultural criticism emerging regarding the progression of this subgenre of motion pictures as meaningful work. “WHY SO SERIOUS?” COMICS, FILM AND POLITICS, OR THE COMIC BOOK FILM AS THE ANSWER TO THE QUESTION OF IDENTITY AND NARRATIVE IN A POST-9/11 WORLD A Thesis Submitted to the Faculty of Miami University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Department of Communications Mass Communications Area by Kyle Andrew Moody Miami University Oxford, Ohio 2009 Advisor ___________________ Dr. Bruce Drushel Reader ___________________ Dr. Ronald Scott Reader ___________________ Dr. David Sholle TABLE OF CONTENTS ACKNOWLEDGMENTS ..........................................................................................................................

  • New Jersey State Research Guide Family History Sources in the Garden State
    New Jersey State Research Guide Family History Sources in the Garden State New Jersey History After Henry Hudson’s initial explorations of the Hudson and Delaware River areas, numerous Dutch settlements were attempted in New Jersey, beginning as early as 1618. These settlements were soon abandoned because of altercations with the Lenni-Lenape (or Delaware), the original inhabitants. A more lasting settlement was made from 1638 to 1655 by the Swedes and Finns along the Delaware as part of New Sweden, and this continued to flourish although the Dutch eventually Hessian Barracks, Trenton, New Jersey from U.S., Historical Postcards gained control over this area and made it part of New Netherland. By 1639, there were as many as six boweries, or small plantations, on the New Jersey side of the Hudson across from Manhattan. Two major confrontations with the native Indians in 1643 and 1655 destroyed all Dutch settlements in northern New Jersey, and not until 1660 was the first permanent settlement established—the village of Bergen, today part of Jersey City. Of the settlers throughout the colonial period, only the English outnumbered the Dutch in New Jersey. When England acquired the New Netherland Colony from the Dutch in 1664, King Charles II gave his brother, the Duke of York (later King James II), all of New York and New Jersey. The duke in turn granted New Jersey to two of his creditors, Lord John Berkeley and Sir George Carteret. The land was named Nova Caesaria for the Isle of Jersey, Carteret’s home. The year that England took control there was a large influx of English from New England and Long Island who, for want of more or better land, settled the East Jersey towns of Elizabethtown, Middletown, Piscataway, Shrewsbury, and Woodbridge.

Cairbar, the son of Borbar-duthiil, lord of A'Jia, in Con- naiiglit, the most potent chief of the race of the Fir- hol^S having murdered, at Temcra, the royal palace. Cormac, the son of Ariho, the young kirg of Ireland, usurped tlie throne. Cormac was lineally descended from Couar, the son of Trenmor, the great-grandfather of Fin^ral, king of those Caledonians who inhabited the western coast of Scotland. Fingal resented the be- haviour of Cairbar, and resolved to pass over into Ire- land with an army, to re-establish the royal family on the Irish throne. Early intelligence of his designs coming; to Cairbar, he assembled some of his tribes in Ulster, and at the same time ordered his brother Cath- mor to follow him speedily with an army from Temora. Such was the situation of affairs when the Caledoniaa invaders appearijd on the coast of Ulster. The poem opens in the morning. Cairbar is represented as retired from the rest of the army, when one of his scouts brouglit him news of the landing of Fingal. He assembles a council of his chiefs. Foldath, the chief of Jrloma, liaughtily despises the enemy ; and is repri- manded warmly by Malthos. Cairbar, after hearing their debate, orders a feast to be prepared, to which, by his bard Oila, he invites Oscar, the son ot Ossian ; resolving to pick a quarrel with that hero, snd so have home pretext for killing f^ist him.

This makes the vampire a figure onto which readers and authors can project ambivalence about writing – the gothic of living with texts. Bram Stoker’s Dracula (1897) vividly illustrates this connection. The novel presents textual interactions as both dangerous and pleasurable.
