The Conventions of Noir Thriller in Harlan Coben's the Stranger The Conventions of Noir Thriller in Harlan Coben’s The Stranger (A Structuralist Study) A THESIS Presented as a Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Attainment of the Sarjana Sastra Degree in English Literature By: Juzi Ammalilia (11211141021) ENGLISH LANGUAGE AND LITERATURE STUDY PROGRAM FACULTY OF LANGUAGES AND ARTS YOGYAKARTA STATE UNIVERSITY 2016 i ii iii MOTTOS To see the world, things dangerous to come to, to see behind walls, draw closer, to find each other, and to feel. That is the purpose of life. Life Magazine’s motto in The Secret Life of Walter Mitty Create the highest, grandest vision possible for your life, because you become what you believe. Oprah Winfrey This is a part of growing up. A little rebellion, a little adventure, that’s good. Healthy, even. Flynn Rider in Tangled Nothing is impossible, the word itself says “I’m possible.” Audrey Hepburn iv DEDICATIONS You can't be hard on yourself For these were the cards that you were given so you have to understand that these, like... That's not who you are You're trying to be the best you can be but that's all you can do If you don't give it all you got, you're only cheating yourself Give it all you got But if it ends up happening, it ends up happening. (Purpose – Justin Bieber) I dedicate this thesis for the people who have given me purposes. v ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS All praise belongs to Allah SWT for making this all possible. My acknowledgements would not be complete without delivering my gratitude to my thesis consultants, Ibu Dr. Widyastuti Purbani, M.A. and Ibu Niken Anggraeni, S.S., M.A., for sparing their quality time, for making me keep on walking and for lifting me up from the dark times during my thesis writing. My foremost gratitude is specially addressed to Bapak and Ibu who love me unconditionally. I thank them for never making anything easy for me so I have to put my best effort in every single decision of mine. Now I know that I have nobody to prove but myself. It is also beyond my expectation that I have my life twice—thrice brighter since I met these sisters from other Misters: Karina Astary, Wibulan Ekaning Ratri, Kuweira Nur Pratiknyo, Linggar Yulfira, Nita Herawati, and the one and only man in the squad, Puguh Hariyanto. I thank them for bringing out the best in me and for loving my flaws as well. Every moment with them is well-spent so I really wish that we can keep counting. It would also be my pleasure to have many sleepless nights since I have my big family in 107.9 FM Magenta Radio. They all really have great muses. I thank them for giving me ‘wings’ to reach the sky, for the countless tickets that brought me to my favourite concerts, and for giving me courage and confidence to meet awesome people from various industries. It was beyond amazing to have those three years in advance. vi vii TABLE OF CONTENTS TITTLE............................................................................................................ i APPROVAL.................................................................................................... ii RATIFICATION............................................................................................ iii PERNYATAAN.............................................................................................. iv MOTTOS......................................................................................................... v DEDICATIONS............................................................................................... vi ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS........................................................................... vii TABLE OF CONTENTS............................................................................... ix LIST OF FIGURE.......................................................................................... xii LIST OF TABLES.......................................................................................... xiii ABSTRACT.................................................................................................... xiv CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION A.

  • Wilderness House Literary Review 7/2 Fred Russell HARLAN COBEN
    Wilderness House Literary Review 7/2 Fred Russell HARLAN COBEN, AMONG OTHERS ow that we have the Internet it is very easy to get at lists of the greatest things – movies, books, records, kings, criminals, Nsnacks. Of course, we had such lists before, but now we have them in abundance and naturally enough they reflect the changing times. For example, while old lists of the greatest movies always included popu- lar or Hollywood films alongside what we would call art house films – Gone with the Wind and The Godfather, E.T. and Star Wars, alongside Berg- man and Fellini, Goddard and Truffaut – lists of the greatest novels did not, that is, did not include popular novels – no Gone with the Wind and The Godfather alongside Tolstoy and Dostoevsky, Kafka and Mann. Now they often do, and even the Harry Potter books. It is understandable why such a democratization of literature should have occurred in an age of de- clining standards where anyone can log on and say whatever comes into his head to a pretty big audience. But when things were different and a list was still a list, it did occur to me to ask myself why the movie lists were such a mixed bag while the book lists were pure gold. My simple answer at the time was that while it was literary critics and scholars who set liter- ary standards, it was mostly people associated with Hollywood who set movie standards. Therefore, when all was said and done, popular films and “serious” films were spoken of by respectable critics in pretty much the same terms – as epic, powerful, moving, and so on and so forth.

  • Nevada Report
    ST-6 NEVADA LIBRARY ASSOCIATION http://www.nevadalibraries.org November 5-8, 2003 By Linda Deacy • UNIVERSITY OF NEVADA, LAS VEGAS - LAS VEGAS, NV When UNLV opened the Lied Library in January 2001, James Dickinson slid into temporary obscurity. Dickinson was UNLV's first full-time professor and a leader in Las Vegas' efforts to establish its own university and break away from the University of Nevada, Reno. his name was emblazoned on the university's library. Then the Lied Foundation donated millions for a new University of Nevada, Las Vegas library. The old library was to become space for the Boyd Law School and bears the names of the program's chief donors. Not wanting to ignore Dickinson's contributions, university officials pledged to name the new Lied Library's plaza in Dickinson's memory. That was done 1 1/2 years after the new $58 million library opened. Today, students can find a plaque honoring Dickinson's accomplishments on a pedestal along a pathway leading to the Lied Library's main entrance. There also is a reminder of Dickinson in the library's quiet Special Collections room, where his portrait hangs above the dictionary table supporting a copy of Webster's Third New International Dictionary. A plaque beside the portrait describes Dickinson as a pioneer in Southern Nevada higher education. • BOUCHERON 2003 - LAS VEGAS, NV Crime fiction writers Ruth Rendell, James Lee Burke, Ian Rankin and Lee Child were the guests of honor at Bouchercon 34, the annual crime writers' convention October 16-19, at the Riviera. Attendees included David Morrell ("First Blood"); Robert Ferrigno ("The Horse Latitudes"); Harlan Coben ("No Second Chance"); Walter Mosley ("Devil in a Blue Dress"); Michael Connelly ("Blood Work"); S.J.

Mickey Bolitar is just as interesting as his uncle Myron-and Harlan Coben rocks in adult or YA mysteryBy Sherry HagensonI don't read a lot of YA mystery, but now and then I enjoy giving something new a try. Shelter seemed like a reasonable choice, as I have read all of Coben's adult books. I'm happy to say that this was an engrossing story, smart and fairly convoluted-and definitely a page-turner. Mickey is just as likeable as his uncle, with whom he is living since his father's death and his mother's subsequent descent into addiction. At his new high school, he befriends Ashley, another new student; she suddenly disappears without warning and it soon becomes clear that she is not the Ashley Kent she claimed to be. This entangles Mickey and his other new friends, Ema and Spoon, in a dangerous search that becomes far more complicated than Mickey could ever have imagined. This is Book 1 of a series, and it ends very abruptly with a cliffhanger.

  • The Stranger Client
    CREATIVE REVIEW: THE STRANGER CLIENT: Red Production Company THE BRIEF: dock10 provided Manchester’s first end-to-end post production for a Netflix Original scripted series for The Stranger being made by Red Production Company. Post Production, from initial planning stages and ingest of dailies to delivery of the final, finished episodes to Netflix, for this 8 x 60-minute 4K HDR drama, based on Harlan Coben’s novel and written by Danny Brocklehurst, and starring Richard Armitage, Siobhan Finneran, Jennifer Saunders, Anthony Head and Hannah John-Kamen, was completed over the course of almost a year at dock10’s facilities in MediaCityUK. HOW WE DID IT: Alongside the series post production, dock10’s VFX team created over 350 individual VFX shots spanning green screen, digital matte painting, CG set extensions, destruction effects, digital stunt work, digital art direction and digital make up. Several key scenes for this series relied on our VFX team for the recreation and destruction of an existing Liverpool street location. To achieve this, the VFX team used extensive photographic references to accurately recreate the street, with principle photography taking place on the studio back lot using a section of replica housing against a green screen. Working closely with the director, director of photography and production designer, these scenes were previsualised in CG, at full scale, both to help in creating the sequences and also to provide the dimensions and distances of the green screen needed by the construction department. The street, and its destroyed section, were created in CG, accurately lit using lighting data collected on the shoot, and the elements composited with the live action footage along with additional dust and destruction elements to achieve a highly realistic and seamlessly integrated CG action sequence.
