The ZSR Library wanted to provide an opportunity to engage students interested in writing outside of the classroom and to offer these students the opportunity to become published authors. The works are from the second writers' camp hosted at the ZSR Library. A group of 25 student authors was selected to meet at ZSR on the evening of Friday, February 9th from 7:30 pm to Saturday, February 10th at 7:00 am and write a collection of stories (or essays or poems) that were then cataloged and published in this book. Each participant is listed as an author and received a copy of the book. Writers' Camp 2018 was funded by the Z.

Note: Graphic violence and gore] INTRODUCTION “And thou shalt eat the fruit of thine own body, the flesh of thy sons and of thy daughters, which the LORD thy God hath given thee, in the siege, and in the straitness, wherewith thine enemies shall distress thee.” Deuteronomy 28:53 Maura tried to tune the radio in vain, finding nothing but static on the other end. She had long given up on finding anything, but the monotony of the snow-covered landscape was lulling her to sleep, and the motion of turning the dial kept her awake. The radio popped, and a nasally voice crackled from the speakers, delivering the Gospel to a few late-night listeners a little closer to civilization. To Maura, though, the garbled sermon was even worse than the static. She switched the radio off. The snow was picking up, and Maura’s car was slowing down. She wasn’t surprised. She had purchased the vehicle for $500, a late eighties model Ford LTD sedan, built years ago for Sunday drives to church, trips to the grocery store and back, driving the kids to school. The rear-wheel drive wasn’t made to handle a winter storm in western North Carolina—was she in North Carolina yet? Maura hadn’t seen a sign welcoming her to the state, but then, she hadn’t seen any signs saying anything at all—just their snow-covered outlines against the dark sky. 8 9 At the next exit she would have to stop and get gas.

    GIRL WITH A CAMERA A Novel of Margaret Bourke-White, Photographer Commented [CY1]: Add Photographer? By Carolyn Meyer Carolyn Meyer 100 Gold Avenue SW #602 Albuquerque, NM 87102 505-362-6201 [email protected] 2 GIRL WITH A CAMERA Sometime after midnight, a thump—loud and jarring. A torpedo slams into the side of our ship, flinging me out of my bunk. The ship is transporting thousands of troops and hundreds of nurses. It is December 1942, and our country is at war. I am Margaret Bourke-White, the only woman photographer covering this war. The U.S. Army Air Forces has handed me a plum assignment: photographing an Allied attack on the Germans. I wanted to fly in one of our B-17 bombers, but the top brass ordered me to travel instead in the flagship of a huge convoy, headed from England through the Straits of Gibraltar towards the coast of North Africa. It would be safer than flying, the officers argued. As it turns out, they were dead wrong. Beneath the surface of the Mediterranean, German submarines glide, silent and lethal, stalking their prey. One of their torpedoes has found its mark. I grab my camera bag and one camera, leaving everything else behind, and race to the bridge. I hear the order blare: Abandon ship! Abandon ship! There is not enough light and not enough time to take photographs. I head for Lifeboat No. 12 and board with the others assigned to it, mostly nurses. We’ve drilled for it over and over, but this is not a drill.

    AMONG THE NOT SO GREAT Among the Not So Great PRABHAKAR (Batti) NEW HOUSE KOLKATA First edition Sri Mira Trust 2003 Second enlarged edition New House 2018 Rs 270.00 © Sri Mira Trust 2003 Published by New House, Kolkata - 700 025 Printed at Sri Aurobindo Ashram Press, Pondicherry Printed in India INTRODUCTION I write this about some old Ashramites — interesting people, who I feel should not be lost, buried in the past. I write of them for they are, or were, so garbed in their ordinariness that their coming, going and even their short sojourn here went unheralded, unnoticed and unsung. Maybe I use words too high-sounding, but I would that you let that pass. They did not achieve anything great (in the usual sense of the word) — for no poetry, prose or philosophy spewed forth from their innards. They created no piece of art nor did they even put up a block of masonry. But they achieved this — when you by chance thought of them a bubble of joy rose from your stomach, tingled its way up like a soda-induced burp. What more can one ask of another but this moment of joy? This is reason enough for me to bring them back from the past. These that I mention here were quite closely associated with me, and I think it would interest many who have not had the good chance to rub shoulders with them, nor even see them, probably. This is a homely “Who-is-who”. I first started writing this series with no idea whatsoever as to what I was going to do, once I had written.

Program Director and morning board operator for radio station TRU-92. HE capitalizes on the invisibility of his medium by dressing in casual clothing including baggy khakis, sneakers with no socks, and a comfortable T-shirt sporting the logo of an alternative band. His cynical attitude and occasionally snide veneer reflect the mind-set of an up-and- coming industry man who somehow made a wrong turn only to find himself, inexplicably, in rural Iowa. LORALIE KENT Early- to mid-20s. Evening board operator for TRU-92. SHE is dressed in simple slacks, blouse and stocking feet at rise -- with a fresh, natural, cheerful face that's wasted on the radio.

  • 'Reporter Voice' and 'Objectivity'
    THE ‘REPORTER VOICE’ AND ‘OBJECTIVITY’ IN CROSS- LINGUISTIC REPORTING OF ‘CONTROVERSIAL’ NEWS IN ZIMBABWEAN NEWSPAPERS. AN APPRAISAL APPROACH BY COLLEN SABAO Dissertation presented for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences at Stellenbosch University SUPERVISOR: PROF MW VISSER MARCH 2013 Stellenbosch University http://scholar.sun.ac.za ii DECLARATION By submitting this dissertation electronically, I declare that the entirety of the work contained therein is my own, original work, that I am the sole author thereof (save to the extent explicitly otherwise stated), that reproduction and publication thereof by Stellenbosch University will not infringe any third party rights and that I have not previously in its entirety or in part submitted it for obtaining any qualification. Date: 17 September 2012 Copyright © 2013 Stellenbosch University All rights reserved Stellenbosch University http://scholar.sun.ac.za iii ABSTRACT The dissertation is a comparative analysis of the structural (generic/cognitive) and ideological properties of Zimbabwean news reports in English, Shona and Ndebele, focusing specifically on the examination of the proliferation of authorial attitudinal subjectivities in ‘controversial’ ‘hard news’ reports and the ‘objectivity’ ideal. The study, thus, compares the textuality of Zimbabwean printed news reports from the English newspapers (The Herald, Zimbabwe Independent and Newsday), the Shona newspaper (Kwayedza) and the Ndebele newspaper (Umthunywa) during the period from January 2010 to August 2012. The period represents an interesting epoch in the country’s political landscape. It is a period characterized by a power- sharing government, a political situation that has highly polarized the media and as such, media stances in relation to either of the two major parties to the unity government, the Zimbabwe African National Union Patriotic Front (ZANU PF) and the Movement for Democratic Change (MDC-T).

  • HARRINGTON, LALENJA GIDDENS, Ph.D
    HARRINGTON, LALENJA GIDDENS, Ph.D. (Un)restricting the Imagination: Community Engaged Research Involving College Students with Intellectual Disabilities and Implications on Scholarship, Postsecondary Programming and Pedagogy in Higher Education. (2017) Directed by Dr. Leila Villaverde. 318 pp. This dissertation explores the intersection of community engaged research and arts-based methodologies involving students with Intellectual Disabilities (ID) on a college campus, with broader theoretical connections related to disability identity and day to day practice that impacts access to higher education. This intersection, presented as a nexus of “visionary pragmatism” in the words of Patricia Hill Collins (1996) represents a coming together of theory/vision and the practical strategies that students with “unruly body/minds” must use to navigate the world on their own terms. Using thematic and poetic analysis of person centered planning documents and student interviews, the research circle (consisting of students, faculty, community members and program staff) sought to answer two research questions: 1) what do students with ID consider personal growth as it relates to being in college, and 2) how do students perceive the supports needed to achieve their desired goals. The community engaged approach encouraged power sharing within the research circle, including students with ID as co-researchers in collective data collection and analysis, and as peer interviewers. In alignment with Universal Design and feedback from scholars with ID regarding accessible formatting, literature, discussion and analysis are presented in a multimodal format that includes graphics and poetry. Themes from the data reflect perceptions of college as a path to self-realization and self-determination (critical consciousness), valued roles, careers and financial stability, interdependence, social justice and inclusion.
