Spencer This dissertation consists of an allegorical novel, written in the form of a diary, set mostly in southeastern Ohio. The critical introduction explores the effect of temporal perspective on first-person interpolated stories such as diaries and epistolary narratives. Based on the work of narratologists such as Gerard Genette and Gerald Prince, the introduction discusses the need for thoughtful consideration of temporal position and distance in the composition of first-person interpolated narratives. Approved: _____________________________________________________________ Darrell K. Spencer Stocker Professor in Creative Writing 4 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Thanks to Drs.

  • Aspects of Black Hole Physics
    Aspects of Black Hole Physics Andreas Vigand Pedersen The Niels Bohr Institute Academic Advisor: Niels Obers e-mail: [email protected] Abstract: This project examines some of the exact solutions to Einstein’s theory, the theory of linearized gravity, the Komar definition of mass and angular momentum in general relativity and some aspects of (four dimen- sional) black hole physics. The project assumes familiarity with the basics of general relativity and differential geometry, but is otherwise intended to be self contained. The project was written as a ”self-study project” under the supervision of Niels Obers in the summer of 2008.

Begin by introducing directional vocabulary using Vocabulary Cards, using movement, pictures, and language. Practice saying each word in English, and again using movement. 2. Next, watch the video “The Directions Song” found on YouTube. Watch the video with students. After showing the video once, watch it again, this time inviting students to move their wheelchairs with the directional vocabulary in video or ask students` aids to move the wheelchairs, creating a “Dance/Sing Along Experience”. 3. Invite students to play the game, themselves becoming the game pieces! On a small game board, students begin at a designated point outside the board. On a large game board, students begin within a square on the game board. One by one, students roll the die by knocking it off their wheelchair tabletop. Then, they `move` according to the die. Once they arrive at the GOAL square, they win! Play as long as time allows. Materials and Preparation: Over-sized Die: Use a cardboard box and resize it to make a cube with each side measuring .3 meters. Then, cover the cardboard with kid-friendly, soft felt. Next, write a different directional vocabulary word and a matching, simple picture on each side of the die.

Michael Lennon I went to Wharton with Donald Trump. We were both from praetorian families in Queens – his more martial than mine – in the first line of defense on the crabgrass frontier. We went out one night together to a hotel behind Rittenhouse Square. His date was a wised-up girl from Phila- delphia society who dreamed of becoming a stripper; mine was a retreating waitress, with a hyena body that gave off a whiff of the inquisi- tive. After the drinks – Don drank seltzer – we took them to a room we’d booked upstairs. My date gashed my face with her high-heel after I tried to shuffle her into one of the bedrooms. There was panting from Don’s quarters, the sound of a teetering vase, then mechanical chanting, until a final flesh-on-flesh “Whaa- aap!” A volley of sweet-talk followed. “If you want to be a dancer, there’s nobody who’s going New York City, 1968 to stop you, not even your father,” Don whis- pered. “I know some of the best dancers in this in a Trump Air commercial, which left him of Walt Whitman and Leon Trotsky, your the haste to give pleasure.
