ALBINO BLUES VICKY 02 – the Present And The Sea Looked: A Novel in the Making/Judy-Ann Croome/Student 318-919-8 1 AND THE SEA LOOKED : A NOVEL IN THE MAKING by JUDY-ANN CROOME submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS in the subject of ENGLISH STUDIES at the UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH AFRICA SUPERVISOR: Prof L DE KOCK JUNE 2007 And The Sea Looked: A Novel in the Making/Judy-Ann Croome/Student 318-919-8 2 The dissertation “And the Sea Looked : A Novel in the Making” is an exploration of the creative process of a prose fiction novel called „And the Sea Looked‟. Following the lives of three women, the novel reflects on the idea that universal Peace (the end of all wars) will only be possible if individuals, through the power of their choices in the way they live their ordinary lives, strive to transcend the separations and imperfections of the Material World, ultimately finding a universal unity (“oneness”) in the ideal love existing in Plato‟s superior, Divine World. The psychological creative process behind the making of the novel is investigated in-depth and a short critical interpretation of the novel is included. And The Sea Looked: A Novel in the Making/Judy-Ann Croome/Student 318-919-8 3 DECLARATION I declare that And The Sea Looked: A Novel in the Making is my own work and that all the sources that I have used or quoted have been indicated and acknowledged by means of complete references.

And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity. 1 Corinthians 13: 13 La Bible du Semeur and King James Bible And The Sea Looked: A Novel in the Making/Judy-Ann Croome/Student 318-919-8 9 CHAPTER ONE CATHY The Present I first see the crucifix. Sad and crushed, the Christ- figure hangs immolated on the heavy cross, his wooden face calling to me in its eternal suffering. „Come this way,‟ Father Murray says. „I‟ll introduce you to the others.‟ This is the moment I always fear. I sigh, and glance up at the dead eyes of my Saviour. Will I again join him on his cross of suffering? Or will this time be different? In reality, I‟m an atheist, for when has God ever been there for me? Today, however, as I pass by the poignant symbol of hope to so many – once, even myself - I lift my hand in an almost-forgotten gesture. After making the sign of the cross, I turn and follow the portly priest into the Parish office. „Elizabeth,‟ he calls to the blonde woman standing in the corner by a half-empty water-cooler. „Where‟s Ted?‟ And The Sea Looked: A Novel in the Making/Judy-Ann Croome/Student 318-919-8 10 „In the garden,‟ she says, her eyes still on the cup she‟s filling with the pure, clean water, thankfully delaying the moment of my truth. „Shall I fetch him?‟ She looks up at last and I hold my breath, waiting. When her shock slips away into civility, I breathe again. I‟m used to that reaction – I can deal with it. It‟s when children scream aloud, or their parents damn me as the Devil, that I find myself hating the colourless skin and transparent hair my albinism has cursed me with. She recovers quickly, and idly tucks a loose strand back into the neat, rather old fashioned bun she‟s secured her hair in. „Hello,‟ she says, standing up and walking towards me, „and welcome to the Chapel of St Jerome.‟ My admiration for her springs to life when, with almost no hesitation, she holds out her hand. I take it. She meets my intent gaze, distorted by the thick lenses of my spectacles, with an easy smile. „I‟m Elizabeth Johnson.‟ She laughs happily and waggles her fingers, showing me a ring nestled safely on the third finger of her left hand. „Soon to be Elizabeth Templeton!‟ She waves in the vague direction of the window. „Ted is happiest in his garden,‟ she says, „but I‟ll take you to meet him later.‟ I guess the blonde is the same age as me, perhaps slightly older, or that could be the effect of the strand of And The Sea Looked: A Novel in the Making/Judy-Ann Croome/Student 318-919-8 11 pearls, a lustrous cream against the pale lemon jersey she‟s teamed with a conservative knee-length navy skirt. „I‟m Catherine,‟ I announce more harshly than I‟d intended in the sudden, awkward silence. Or does my voice still hold the sullen resentment I‟ve suppressed for years? I add quickly, „Most people call me Cathy.‟ A smile lights Elizabeth‟s face, chasing away the middle- class blandness. „We‟ve got something in common!‟ She laughs at the blank stare I give her. „We‟re both named after powerful queens!‟ she says. It‟s as if the discovery forges an invisible bond between us. Once as dead as the ashes of my childhood, hope now quivers. Maybe, I allow myself to dream; maybe I‟ve found a friend. A smile curves a tentative journey around my lips as Elizabeth lays a gentle hand on my arm. It‟s been so long since anyone other than my doctor‟s cool professionalism touched me, her fingers burn through my blouse. „This is your desk.‟ She pulls me over to a corner, leading me to a small wooden table tucked away almost out of sight, chipped and scratched with years of memories. And the action is so ordinary, so commonplace, I can‟t begin to imagine how it will change my life. * * * And The Sea Looked: A Novel in the Making/Judy-Ann Croome/Student 318-919-8 12 CHAPTER TWO ELIZABETH The Present When Father Elisha Murray tells her about the call from Noah, Elizabeth can‟t begin to imagine how her life will change. NOAH - what a ridiculous acronym for the National Organisation of Albinism Health, she decides. Noah always sticks in her mind as a gentle old soul. She pictures a saintly, bearded fellow cuddling a dove in his warm, safe hands as the relentless waters rise and rise and rise. Is he ever afraid of drowning? Sometimes, when her emotions slap against the edges of her self-control, she knows how Noah must have felt, so outwardly calm as he watched the sinners cry out in remorse as they sank beneath the waters of the flood.

  • I've Married Marjorie
    I've Married Marjorie By Margaret Widdemer I'VE MARRIED MARJORIE CHAPTER I The sun shone, that morning, and even from a city office window the Spring wind could be felt, sweet and keen and heady, making you feel that you wanted to be out in it, laughing, facing toward the exciting, happy things Spring was sure to be bringing you, if you only went a little way to meet them—just a little way! Marjorie Ellison, bending over a filing cabinet in a small and solitary room, felt the wind, and gave her fluffy dark head an answering, wistful lift. It was a very exciting, Springy wind, and winds and weathers affected her too much for her own good. Therefore she gave the drawer she was working on an impatient little push which nearly shook the Casses down into the Cats—she had been hunting for a very important letter named Cattell, which had concealed itself viciously—and went to the window as if she was being pulled there. She set both supple little hands on the broad stone sill, and looked downward into the city street as you would look into a well. The wind was blowing sticks and dust around in fairy rings, and a motor car or so ran up and down, and there were the usual number of the usual kind of people on the sidewalks; middle-aged people principally, for most of the younger inhabitants of New York are caged in offices at ten in the morning, unless they are whisking by in the motors.

Gruner All Rights Reserved. THESIS APPROVAL SHEET __________________________________ GRADE ____________________________________ MENTOR: Dr. Charlie Davidson Director, Doctor of Ministry Program Associate Professor of Chaplaincy ____________________________________ READER: Dr. David W. Hirschman Associate Professor of Religion ABSTRACT A PROPOSAL FOR A LOCAL CHURCH INFERTILITY MINISTRY Melanie Howton Gruner Liberty Baptist Theological Seminary, 2015 Mentor: Dr. Charlie Davidson How is the church addressing the difficult issue of infertility? Pastors may not be adequately trained to handle the demon of infertility, which is a growing epidemic. Thirteen Scriptural remedies for the struggle of infertility are proposed in the form of a manual which is designed to equip and be implemented by churches. The hope is that churches will effectuate either a group dynamic or individual canvas for a detailed analysis of what Scripture teaches about infertility. Research involves surveying pastors and infertile couples about what they believe is being done in churches to relieve the sting of infertility. Results prove that there is an undeniable need for support for couples within the church involving this agonizing issue. A biblically-based manual is presented that focuses specifically on this burdensome trial. Utilizing it, churches will effectively be able to minister to couples and help them forge through the fire of infertility. Abstract length: 150 words ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This thesis is dedicated to my loving husband of thirteen years and counting.

Revista de Ciencias Sociales , 71, 147-191, http://apostadigital.com/revistav3/hemeroteca/ballesteros8.pdf Resumen El presente artículo tiene como objetivo recuperar una serie de actrices, ídolos de la etapa del cine mudo, que no lograron mantenerse al iniciarse el proceso al hablado. Ponemos el objetivo en algunas de las actrices más representativas a quienes el progreso técnico iba a condenar al ostracismo al no adecuarse su voz (aún sin la muleta del doblaje) a los inevitables cambios estructurales y auditivos. En los años en que se produce esta transición (último tercio de 1920 y primeros años de 1930) se produjo un general “pánico” entre el colectivo, justificado por cierto, pues a partir de entonces fueron de estricta obligación las “pruebas de voz”, por lo que buena parte de estas glorias mudas vieron frustradas sus carreras. Ídolos con pies de barro, juguetes a merced del marketing y de la voracidad de los productores, sus nombres fueron difuminándose, tan rápido como habían sido encumbrados, en una involuntaria huida plagada de fracasos, de adiciones y de varios casos de suicidios.

  • Biography of D.W. Griffith David Wark Griffith Was Born in La Grange
    Biography of D.W. Griffith David Wark Griffith was born in La Grange, Kentucky on January 22, 1875. After stints as both writer and actor of poetry and plays, Griffith first entered the motion picture industry as an actor for Edison Studios in 1907. He moved over to Biograph in 1908 for the salary of $5 a day. Griffith's work at Biograph would forever change the way movies were made. Biograph was one of the first motion picture studios in America, when films were sold outright by the foot, and not rented as they are today. Films were silent and no more than one reel in length (a running time of about 12 minutes). At a price of 10-cents a foot, the cost of a reel of film was about $100. When Griffith first came to Biograph, the studio was only selling about 20 copies of each new film and was in poor financial condition. Biograph was in pressing need of a director. The job was offered to Griffith at an increase in salary, but he was reluctant to take it. He was working steadily and was afraid that if he failed he would lose his job as an actor. Henry Marvin, founder of Biograph, assured Griffith that if he did fail as a director, his acting chores would continue. Griffith reluctantly accepted. Griffith had only a rudimentary understanding of film making. He knew that film directors were no more than sheepherders, moving the actors from one place to another on the screen. The cameraman was king. Biograph had two: Arthur Marvin, brother of Griffith’s boss, and a German immigrant named G.W.

  • Helen Keller from Tragedy to Worldwide
    Helen Keller From Tragedy to Worldwide Triumphs Nolan Vondran Senior Individual Exhibit Student Composed Words: 498 Process Paper: 499 I remembered the countless mentions in lectures and textbooks of Helen Keller. I knew that there was more information - regarding her tragedy and triumph- which prompted me to research more about her story. Additionally, as a training CNA, I worked with impaired children on a daily basis and wanted to gather information to express that they are not limited by their disability. I began my research at the Helen Keller Archives. There, I found multiple photos, ​ ​ historical events, and important information regarding Keller. Specifically, this information allowed me to understand her tragedies and how she was able to triumph in multiple ways. I continued to expand my knowledge through books from the library, magazines, and the Proquest database, allowing me to learn who she was and how she began a career in advocating for the others. From there, I visited the Helen Keller Museum: “Ivy Green” in Tuscumbia, AL, ​ ​ ultimately leading me to obtain my sources needed for this project. I chose to do an exhibit for the purpose of an appealing visual representation for the information about Keller. I began by separating my board based on this year’s NHD theme. I wanted to display informative facts and photos of her global triumphs, life as an activist, and the historical context of her journey. The left and right side of the board emphasized how Keller advocated in bringing triumph to issues in the world, as well as the impact left through her triumphs.
