We live in a town where the summer is too cool for the Cicada to grow and winter too warm for sleeping. When was the last time I came home? “Don’t you worry. I used to be good at this,” I said. I probably would not have come home if not for this. I remember when my grandmother was still energetic. She loved talking to people. Other than that, she had no hobby. As soon as she finished her breakfast, she visited her friend’s house. When the noon siren echoed in the town, the front door opened and before I knew it, my grandmother was in the kitchen preparing lunch for her husband and herself. They ate lunch together; only the sound of biting into pickled cucumbers kept them company. Each dish they emptied she immediately took to the sink, washed it, still chewing her food, then sat back next to her husband. She repeated this over and over. 2 When all the dishes were clean, she said only, “I am going.” Then she left for her friend’s house to chat until the five o’clock siren rang once again. My grandfather, who was blind, often walking along the wall the whole afternoon, calling my grandmother’s name. In a Haiku, he wrote: Fine autumn day Where is my gun bullet wife This Haiku was written down by my mother with a Fude. It is still on the wall in front of my old desk, next to a faded Audrey Hepburn poster. I heard about his death three months after he’d died. My mother telephoned one night and told me the news, speaking, as if she was telling me about my childhood friend’s wedding. “When did he die?” “Three months ago. I didn’t tell you because I thought you were too busy studying. I didn’t want you to feel guilty for not being able to come home.” I never witnessed my grandfather growing weak. In my memory he still walked along the wall, calling my grandmother - bright and healthy. I was glad that I had his Haiku. My grandmother grew weaker, moved in with my parents and was now living her life as a sick old woman. According to her doctor she was very healthy, though she lived each day full of enthusiasm only to die. 3 “It might be the last time for you to see her. Come home to show your grandma her great grandson.” “That might be true, it’s his summer vacation anyway. He might enjoy it,” I said. Before the sun was up, we went to catch an elephant beetle. On the weekend we went to the amusement park with a giant pool attached to it. Everyday was a new discovery for my son. However, this was not so for my grandmother. She no longer cared if someone came to visit her. As we spoke to her, her gaze passed us as if there was something better waiting for up ahead. The only change brought to her life by our visit was that she now had to wait for the bathroom. I don’t recall her speaking, not even once during our visit. Her voice only existed in my memory. For what reason does she stay so healthy? “Let’s find a cicada.” I parked the bicycle by the sidewalk. “But I don’t see them.” “Mom can find them,” I said. Even though the Cicadas were screaming, they were invisible. I could not even find one. They have only one week to live: What kind of cicada would be suicidal enough to scream in the lowest part of a tree? If 1 do not find one my son might grow up to be a 4 man who becomes frustrated, giving up easily. I looked for a Cicada for my pride and for his bright future. “Look, there is a nukegara.” I grabbed it and showed it to him. “Is this a cicada?” “No, this is a shell which the Cicada stayed in before he became a Cicada, like the cocoon of a butterfly. It was a house for him to grow up. Hold it.” He touched it with his index finger nail. The shell rolled in my palm. “No, I don’t want.” “Why, are you scared?” “Yeah.” “It’s okay. It’s not going to move.” “I know.” “It’s rarer to find it than it is to find a Cicada.” This was a lie of course. “It’s empty. It’s creepy.” I let it fall. The brown shell settled slowly and blended in with the ground. The Cicada chorus grew louder. “Should we go?” “Yeah.” We continued our bicycle ride among the trees. 5 “Cicada lives underground for five years like a baby in a tummy. Then they come out and live in the shell then become a Cicada before flying away, so it was not a dead Cicada,” I said. “They never go back there again?” “Never.” “Why?” “Because, they can’t fit there anymore.” “Where is their home?” “They don’t have one.” “No home?” “Not anymore.” 6 Would You Tell Me What I Want? I dropped on my bed, bounced once, then landed. My dress slowly fell over my thighs and I felt a chill from the silk material. The chill continued to creep up on my tail bone, my spine, and up the back of my neck. Goose bumps chased the chill over my arms, and at the same time, the air conditioner expelled cold air, so I wrapped myself in the brand new bed cover that my brother in law had bought me. The bed and the bedding set were gifts from him to make me feel that I was a part of this family. My brother-in-law had moved his dead weight vintage oak desk, white leather reading chaise, and his civil war coin collection, out the room and replaced them with a brand new bed for me and a Winnie the Pooh crib set for my son, Alex. The sofa and desk were stacked haphazardly in the hallway, and the coin collection lay in a plastic grocery bag tossed under the desk. He had not found the time to move them into the basement. I wanted to cry and I wanted to be moved by his thoughtful gesture, but my body was too honest to produce any tears. Although this was how I felt and I couldn’t change, I still felt shame, so I thought about how I could punish myself. To stop eating his food could be one way to show my appreciation for his generosity. I could become his maid, scrubbing his toilets, taking his kids to violin lessons, or cooking for them, or I could stop eating. But for now I didn’t even have the strength to get up, so I bit my tongue, pinched my inner thigh hard and inhaled the toxic smell of the brand new bed cover. But when I felt too much pain on my thigh, I let my bite go. I failed to even make myself bleed. I glanced at the clock. In twenty minutes, my mother-in-law would come with Alex to get us. And when she came, I would have to show up in front of hundreds of people. My mother was standing in the bathroom putting on her make up.

  • Cutting Patterns in DW Griffith's Biographs
    Cutting patterns in D.W. Griffith’s Biographs: An experimental statistical study Mike Baxter, 16 Lady Bay Road, West Bridgford, Nottingham, NG2 5BJ, U.K. (e-mail: [email protected]) 1 Introduction A number of recent studies have examined statistical methods for investigating cutting patterns within films, for the purposes of comparing patterns across films and/or for summarising ‘average’ patterns in a body of films. The present paper investigates how different ideas that have been proposed might be combined to identify subsets of similarly constructed films (i.e. exhibiting comparable cutting structures) within a larger body. The ideas explored are illustrated using a sample of 62 D.W Griffith Biograph one-reelers from the years 1909–1913. Yuri Tsivian has suggested that ‘all films are different as far as their SL struc- tures; yet some are less different than others’. Barry Salt, with specific reference to the question of whether or not Griffith’s Biographs ‘have the same large scale variations in their shot lengths along the length of the film’ says the ‘answer to this is quite clearly, no’. This judgment is based on smooths of the data using seventh degree trendlines and the observation that these ‘are nearly all quite different one from another, and too varied to allow any grouping that could be matched against, say, genre’1. While the basis for Salt’s view is clear Tsivian’s apparently oppos- ing position that some films are ‘less different than others’ seems to me to be a reasonably incontestable sentiment. It depends on how much you are prepared to simplify structure by smoothing in order to effect comparisons.

  • SCREENING MOTHERS: Representations of Motherhood in Australian Films from 1900 to 1988
    SCREENING MOTHERS: Representations of motherhood in Australian films from 1900 to 1988 CAROLINE M. PASCOE B.A. (Honours) M.A. UNIVERSITY OF SYDNEY A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy September 1998 ii The work presented in this thesis is, to the best of my knowledge and belief, original, except as acknowledged in the text. The material has not been submitted, either in whole or in part, for a degree at this or any other university. CAROLINE MYRA PASCOE iii ABSTRACT Although the position of mothers has changed considerably since the beginning of the twentieth century, an idealised notion of motherhood persists. The cinema provides a source of information about attitudes towards mothering in Australian society which is not diminished by the fact that mothers are often marginal to the narrative. While the study recognises that cinematic images are not unconditionally authoritative, it rests on the belief that films have some capacity to reflect and influence society. The films are placed in an historical context with regard to social change in Australian society, so that the images can be understood within the context of the time of the making and viewing of the films. The depictions of the mother are scrutinised with regard to her appearance, her attitude, her relationship with others and the expectations, whether explicit or implicit, of her role. Of particular significance is what happens to her during the film and whether she is punished or rewarded for her behaviour. The conclusions reached after analysis are used to challenge those ideas which assume that portrayals of motherhood are unchangeable and timeless.

  • The Art of the Moving Picture by Vachel Lindsay
    The Art Of The Moving Picture by Vachel Lindsay The Art Of The Moving Picture by Vachel Lindsay had them scurrying to learn their A, B, C's, but they are drifting back to their old ways again, and nightly are forming themselves in cues at the doorways of the "Isis," the "Tivoli," and the "Riviera," the while it is sadly noted that "'the pictures' are driving literature off the parlor table." With the creative implications of this new pictorial art, with the whole visual-minded race clamoring for more, what may we not dream in the way of a new renaissance? How are we to step in to the possession of such a destiny? Are the institutions with a purely literary theory of life going to meet the need? Are the art schools and the art museums making themselves ready to assimilate a new art form? Or what is the type of institution that will ultimately take the position of leadership in culture through this new universal instrument? What possibilities lie in this art, once it is understood and developed, to plant new conceptions of civic and national idealism? How far may it go in cultivating concerted emotion in the now ungoverned crowd? Such questions as these can be answered only by minds with the imagination to page 1 / 231 see art as a reality; with faith to visualize for the little mid-western "home town" a new and living Pallas Athena; with courage to raze the very houses of the city to make new and greater forums and "civic centres." For ourselves in Denver, we shall try to do justice to the new Muse.
