Adam Muto Cole Sanchez. Previous " Adventure Time: Fionna & Cake don't really know or care right now ". Next " Hot to the Touch ". Adventure Time: Fionna & Cake Card Wars by Jen Wang It originally aired on Cartoon Network on September 5, The series follows the adventures of Finn voiced by Jeremy Shadaa human boy, and his best friend and adoptive brother Jake voiced by John DiMaggioa dog with magical powers to change shape and grow and shrink at will. The concept of Fionna and Cake was based on sketches Adventure Time: Fionna & Cake series' character designer and storyboard revisionist Natasha Allegri made. Ward was pleased with her creations, and decided to canonize them. Originally, the episode did not feature the Ice Queen at all, and the middle part of the episode saw Fionna go on a date with Gumball to a restaurant; this subsequently changed. The episode was Adventure Time: Fionna & Cake by 3. Fionna and Cake are helping Prince Gumball decorate for the Biennial Gumball Ball when Gumball asks Fionna if she would like to go to it tonight with him. Their conversation is interrupted when the Ice Queen breaks into the castle and tries to kidnap Gumball. Fionna and Cake start to fight her before she mysteriously disappears. Gumball who is apparently unharmed arranges a date with Fionna. Cake decides to come along to help Fionna out. The group then flies through the air while Gumball serenades Fionna with the song "Oh, Fionna" and eventually asks her to be his girlfriend. When Fionna and Cake get to the ball, Prince Gumball takes Fionna to his room decorated with candles and rose petals and locks the door. She becomes flustered Adventure Time: Fionna & Cake backs away when he begins to take his shirt off. A drop of water lands on her shoulder, she looks Adventure Time: Fionna & Cake to see the real Prince Gumball trapped inside a giant icicle on the ceiling. The fake prince is revealed to be Ice Queen. Fionna is soon incapacitated; Cake senses trouble and rushes to her rescue. Enraged by the deception, Fionna takes out the crystal sword to fight. Cake hears noises from downstairs and senses Fionna is in trouble. Undaunted, Fionna uses the ice Adventure Time: Fionna & Cake beat Ice Queen over the head. Ice Queen pushes her off with a burst of snow which allows Fionna to get close to enough to break Prince Gumball free and knock out the Ice Queen with a broken icicle. Cake bursts in and sees Gumball standing next to Fionna in her torn dress; she jumps to the wrong conclusion and lunges at him but Fionna stops Cake and tells her it was the Ice Queen all along. Just then Ice Queen recovers and blasts Cake away from Fionna only to have Fionna knock her magic tiara off which negates her powers. The real Gumball asks Fionna on a date and is turned down; Fionna notes that she does not need a boyfriend at the moment. The episode reveals that the Adventure Time: Fionna & Cake story was a fanfiction created by the Ice King that he is reading to Finn and Jake who are incapacitated in ice. The Ice King asks how they enjoyed his story; Finn hesitates at first but hurriedly placates him when Ice King threatens them with his ice powers. A list of the major characters that feature in "Fionna and Cake" follows. The genesis for the episode were drawings that character designer and storyboard revisionist Natasha Allegri posted online. Allegri even re-rerecorded the show's theme—which had originally been sung by series creator Pendleton Ward —for the episode. Sugar and Muto significantly changed the story from its original outline, Adventure Time: Fionna & Cake the very first version of the episode did not feature the Ice Queen, the ball, or the crystal sword. The second act of the story featured Gumball and Fionna going on a date in a restaurant, rather than on an adventure. Sugar also wrote several lines for Marshall Lee—Marceline's male counterpart—but they Adventure Time: Fionna & Cake cut for time. Sugar "begged" Ward to let her work the character back into the story somehow, but the character only appeared in a non-speaking cameo. Neil Patrick Harris was Sugar's first choice to play Prince Gumball; she explained that she "wanted to impress [her] brother Steven, who was obsessed with the Music Meister " portrayed by Harris "from Batman: The Brave and the Bold at the time. The episode was viewed by 3. It also Adventure Time: Fionna & Cake a 42 percent increase in viewers when compared to a year earlier. At the time, this made "Fionna and Cake" the highest-rated entry of the series. Tyler Foster of DVD Talk praised the episode for its creativity and complimented the entry's humor and its message to girls. Furthermore, he applauded the song "Oh Fionna", calling it "wonderful". He felt that Fionna's characterization appealed to the show's universality and managed to also retain respect for the show's audience. Oliver Sava of The A. Club called the "Fionna and Cake" one of "the most fascinating aspects of the Adventure Time craze" in a review of the fifth season episode "Bad Little Boy".

    MARK TWAIN'S DEVELOPMENT OF THE NARRATIVE AND VERNACULAR PERSONA TECHNIQUE ,r~ ... : tI;' A THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE DEPARTMENT OF ENGLISH AND THE GRADUATE COUNCIL OF THE KANSAS STATE TEACHERS COLLEGE OF EMPORIA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS POR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS By JAY H. BOYLAN .-/ August. 1969 111:' -< J J _ ! j/ Approved for the Major Department r I, itbo... .-­ Approved for the Graduate Council tf­ ~~ r)Q8.... ~:rL'09 "'0 .....,t) PREFACE Mark ~qain was such a dominant personality that he literally commanded the full attention of his day with his ac­ tivities. It has been said that he was the world's most well~known figure in his time. Twain's speaking tours in America and abroad helped him to create and maintain his image as a kind of representative American personality; in many ways he seemed the embodiment of the new man, the new spirit. After Twain's death in 1910, the force of his personality was so strong that it continued to overshadow his works. The early theories of Brooks' therefore were in the best traditions of biographical criticism and in the best traditions of Twain criticism; Brooks and others kept the emphasis on the man, Twain, rather than on his works. Brooks' idea, that Twain was a "divine amateur" who was thwarted by a psychological wound, is obviously in keeping with the forces of that time. What is not so obvious is tha.t Twain's supporters such as Devoto were, also, a part of this same tradition. Devoto defended Twain by trying to show from Twain's life that he was not psycho­ logically "wounded." The whole period of the 1920's and 1930's was an unfortunate one for Twain criticism because it was dominated by Mark Twain with a concomitant de-emphasis of his works and their merits.
