Rl-Stine.Pdf R.L. S&ne, born Robert Lawrence, was born in Columbus Ohio in 1943. He began wri&ng at the early age of nine, upon making a discovery that forever changed his life. It was in the late aernoon that Robert found an old family typewriter in the ac. It was said that he took this old typewriter to his room where he spent hours upon hours typing stories and jokes. His mother was said to have insisted that Robert stop typing and go outside and play. Robert felt going outside was boring and would oFen choose to write instead. His discovery later paid off in life because he never stopped wri&ng. AFer graduang from Ohio State University in 1965, Robert pursued his life’s dream of becoming a writer. He set off to New York where he wrote many books for kids. He created a humor magazine known as, Bananas which he contributed to for ten years. In those &mes he wrote under an alias known as, Jovial Bob S&ne. R.L. S&ne soon married a woman named Jane Waldhorn in 1969. Jane was an editor and writer herself, and she knew Robert’s talent had to be known. It was later that her and her partner formed their own publishing company known as, Parachute Press. This company would later help create all of Robert’s popular book series. In 1986, Robert wrote his first teen horror novel en&tled, Blind Date. It became an instant best seller and piqued his interest to pursue scary novels. As a result many more best seller novels followed such as: Beach House, Hit And Run, The Babysi8er, which spawned three sequels, The Hitch-Hiker, and The Girlfriend. In 1989, Robert created the Fear Street series which became the best selling young adult book series in history. He has wri\en an astonishing 100 Fear Street books. His best known series, Goosebumps, began in 1992 and quickly forever changed his career. The series became a hit around the world, and even resulted in his novels being translated into 32 different languages. He became well-known aer this series was turned into a TV show in 1995! R.L.

Signed by the final Examining Committee: __________________________________________Chair Catherine Russell, PhD __________________________________________ Examiner (Internal) Marc Steinberg, PhD __________________________________________ Examiner (External) Charles Acland, PhD __________________________________________ Supervisor Joshua Neves, PhD Approved by __________________________________________ Chair of Department or Graduate Program Director __________ 2019 _______________________________________ Dean of Faculty, Dr. Rebecca Duclos iii ABSTRACT This thesis examines the oversight of Canadian children’s television through the Canadian-American co-venture Goosebumps (1995-1998) and the Canadian specialty children’s network YTV. Grounding Goosebumps within the North American post-network television landscape, this thesis argues that the show anticipates hypercommercialism, a term used to define “the way in which advertisers tend to colonize media spaces” (Asquith 2012). This thesis proposes that by detaching YTV and Goosebumps from the threatening connotations of hypercommercialism, scholars can better engage with the show’s reception. It further contends that Goosebumps is imbued with sensorial and perceptual operations which can help children achieve the “mastery of intertextuality” (Kinder 1999).

  • The Haunted Mask
    THE HAUNTED MASK Goosebumps - 11 R.L. Stine (An Undead Scan v1.5) 1 1 “What are you going to be for Halloween?” Sabrina Mason asked. She moved her fork around in the bright yellow macaroni on her lunch tray, but didn’t take a bite. Carly Beth Caldwell sighed and shook her head. The overhead light on the lunchroom ceiling made her straight brown hair gleam. “I don’t know. A witch, maybe.” Sabrina’s mouth dropped open. “You? A witch?” “Well, why not?” Carly Beth demanded, staring across the long table at her friend. “I thought you were afraid of witches,” Sabrina replied. She raised a forkful of macaroni to her mouth and started to chew. “This macaroni is made of rubber,” she complained, chewing hard. “Remind me to start packing a lunch.” “I am not afraid of witches!” Carly Beth insisted, her dark eyes flashing angrily. “You just think I’m a big scaredy-cat, don’t you?” Sabrina giggled. “Yes.” She flipped her black ponytail behind her shoulders with a quick toss of her head. “Hey, don’t eat the macaroni. Really, Carly Beth. It’s gross.” She reached across the table to keep Carly Beth from raising her fork. “But I’m starving !” Carly Beth complained. The lunchroom grew crowded and noisy. At the next table, a group of fifth-grade boys were tossing a half-full milk carton back and forth. Carly Beth saw Chuck Greene ball up a bright red fruit rollup and shove the whole sticky thing in his mouth. “Yuck!” She made a disgusted face at him.

(It does not include any children’s output on other commercial generalist non-terrestrial channels, such as GMTV,ABC1, Sky One.) • This output analysis examines the genre range within children’s programming and looks at how this range has changed since 2003. It is based on the BARB Children’s genre classification only and uses the BARB subgenres of Children’s Drama, Factual, Cartoons, Light entertainment/quizzes, Pre-school and Miscellaneous. • It is important to note that the BARB genre classifications have some drawbacks: – All programme output that is targeted at children is not classified as Children’s within BARB. Some shows targeted at younger viewers, either within children’s slots on the PSB main channels or on the dedicated children’s channels are not classified as Children’s. For example, Disney Channel’s That’s so raven is classified in BARB as ‘Entertainment Situation Comedy US’.

  • The Case of RL Stine's Give Yourself Goosebumps Gamebooks Via
    Gender Indeterminacy in Translation: the Case of R. L. Stine’s Give Yourself Goosebumps Gamebooks via Portuguese Translation* Ana Brígida Paiva (CETAPS) 1. Gamebooks, Second-Person Narratives and Resulting Translation Problems Gamebooks are not read as traditional novels, i.e. from start to finish – indeed, the reader starts off in the first pages but is quickly presented with a narrative choice in the form of a footnote. Depending on the choice made, the reader is then taken to a different page of the book and its respective outcome. Footnote instructions (along the lines of “If you choose the door on the left, turn to page x. If you choose the door on the right, turn to page y”) move the narrative forward and lead to different possible endings. A definition of gamebook that is both concise and encompassing is the one offered by Demian Katz, administrator of the international gamebook online database game- books.org: a gamebook is “any book in which the reader participates in the story by making choices which affect the course of the narrative”. * This article was originally presented at Version, Subversion: Translation, the Canon and its Discontents – an international conference on literary translation held in Faculdade de Letras da Universidade do Porto in 2013. REAP / JAPS 27 (“FAQ’s” 1) According to Katz, there are three types of gamebooks: the role-playing game solitaire adventure, the rulebook guided solitaire adventure, and the branching plot novel. This article’s primary focus will be on the latter: a type of book that requires the reader to make narrative-bound choices but that is, otherwise, much like a regular novel in both appearance and structure.

  • The Dark Warrior Guide to Chinese Medicine
    The Dark Warrior Guide to Chinese Medicine 玄武中医指南 Volume II Basic Concepts of Pathology John E. Pirog 1 The Dark Warrior Guide to Chinese Medicine Volume II Basic Concepts of Pathology © John Pirog 2016 2 Preface to Volume II This second volume of Dark Warrior continues where the first left off. Having learned how the body behaves when it functions normally, we will now explore what happens when it is ill. You will soon find that the arrangement of subject matter in this volume is quite different from that of standard Chinese medical texts. Decades of teaching experience has shown me that Chinese medicine is easier to learn if it is sequenced as it is here. You will get the most out of Dark Warrior, therefore, if you read it like a novel, from start to finish, without skipping chapters or jumping ahead. Each new idea is explained when it is first introduced, and later chapters build on ideas previously covered. But while my pedagogy is designed for Western learning styles, I have taken pains to ensure that the ideas in Dark Warrior are representative of Chinese medicine as it is taught in China. I have used the vocabulary developed by Wiseman and his collaborators to establish a clear pedigree between translated technical terms and their Chinese- language originals. To make translatability even clearer, I have included the character whenever an important technical term is introduced. In a very few instances I have changed the Wiseman translation; these exceptions can be found in the appendix in the back of the book.
