Eight desks. Eight lists. One teacher. The lesson? Become everything your list says you are. Tallin Ramsay likes the colour pink, cashmere sweaters, strawberry jam, makeup, and being right. Agent: Silvia Molteni At least, that’s what it says on her list. On submission: Spring 2021 When Tallin is driven to a pointed house in the middle of the woods, she has no memory of her life before. Age: 14+ There is only now – the pointed house, seven other Genre: Psychological thriller teenagers who wait inside, and a man who calls himself the Teacher. He says he’s going to help all of them remember who they used to be. He says they each have a list; black print typed neatly onto white pages, which reveal their likes, their dislikes, and their fears. The Teacher gives the students only one simple task, surrounded by woods and snow and nothing: check everything off their lists, one by one, until they become them. But it only takes one bite of a cracker with sticky strawberry jam for Tallin to realize: she is nothing like her list. None of them are. After graduating from Colorado State University, Marissa Howard worked as the speech writer for a prominent dignitary and had hundreds of articles published in local newspapers. Her love of creative writing, short chapters, and unpredictably simple endings resulted in The Eighth List, a psychological thriller aimed at young adults. 4 YOUNG ADULT FICTION PERFECT GIRL A quick-paced, own voices thriller that uniquely incorporates slam-poetry into the narrative, Perfect Girl is an exploration of disability and ‘perfection’ for fans of Sarah Crossan and Jason Reynolds.

Believing her mum to be responsible for the switch, Dannie enlists the help of her best friend Mitch and estranged cousin to get her life back, in the process unearthing a horrifying plot to ‘cure’ conditions like Dannie’s. Told through the medium of slam poetry, Dannie finds herself facing her own weaknesses and the secrets that have divided her family as she explores what it means to be perfect.

Bodies are washing ashore in eighteen-year-old Ria’s seaside village and everyone knows exactly who’s to blame.

Nina's only link to the past is her best friend Filippo, the only one from school who knows about the accident.

    INFORMATION TO USERS This reproduction was made from a copy of a document sent to us for microfilming. While the most advanced technology has been used to photograph and reproduce this document, the quality of the reproduction is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help clarify markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or “target” for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is “Missing Page(s)”. If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark, it is an indication of either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, duplicate copy, or copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed. For blurred pages, a good image of the page can be found in the adjacent frame. If copyrighted materials were deleted, a target note will appear listing the pages in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photographed, a definite method of “sectioning” the material has been followed. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand comer of a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. If necessary, sectioning is continued again-beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete.

  • FROM PASTOR DAVE… I Don’T Know About You but Every Once in a While I Get This Overwhelming Feeling That I Have to Start Getting Into Shape Again
    501 NW 16th Street, Grand Rapids, Minnesota 55744 (218) 326-8508 www.saintand.org November 2016 FROM PASTOR DAVE… I don’t know about you but every once in a while I get this overwhelming feeling that I have to start getting into shape again. I know that I might be overly optimistic by even thinking that it’s still possible, but hey – you’ve got to give me some credit! After all “it’s the thought that counts.” And yet, I realize that I have to do more than think about getting into shape, I’ve got to do something too. I’ve got to start getting into shape physically. I’ve been pondering this for some time. My daughter lovingly reminds me that I haven’t lost the measly 4 pounds I wanted to lose about a year ago. About a month ago, I had a sort of wakeup call when my brother Peter had a heart attack and then triple bypass surgery. He’s the closest living thing to me physically and genetically. Both male. Both products of our mom and dad. Yes, I received that wake up call, but will I get up and answer the call? I’m recommitting to eating smaller portions, and not checking out what may be in the church kitchen when I get the munchies. Whenever possible, I’m going home for lunch, and spending time exercising on my NordicTrack ski machine. (I prefer “exercising” to “working out.” The latter sounds too much like work.) It takes about a couple of hours in the middle of my day, to get home, change, exercise, shower, grab a sandwich and get back to the church.

Moreover, the impulse seems to predate the human tradition of writing our thoughts down for posterity.

    Pinnacle Sequoyah High School Literary Magazine 2020 through 2021 Cover Art by Briana Redner 1 My dear reader, Thank you for picking up this magazine. This project is the culmination of this class's best pieces. Hours were spent on these creations, these extensions of self, and for you to open this magazine and read this message, means so much to us. So go on, and enjoy! --Dominic Lattanzio, Co-Chief Editor This magazine is the result of long, caffeine-filled nights filled with swimming words and splitting headaches. The pieces it contains are the results of the inner emotions of a classroom of writers. Personally, Lit Mag has been a place of growth, a sanctuary, an outlet from the onslaught of the outside world. Looking back on old pieces of mine not only shows me how immensely my writing has grown; it shows me how I have grown. I want to thank Dr. Murphy and this class for both these areas of growth, for offering the timid fourteen-year-old I once was an outlet. So, reader, as you flip through our magazine, be aware that each piece contains a piece of its author. Read them, listen to them, and you will hear each author’s story.

  • Cudd Dissertation to Deposit
    ©2020 Michael Seth Cudd ALL RIGHTS RESERVED FUNCTIONAL AND LENGTHY: PREVAILING CHARACTERISTICS WITHIN SUCCESSFUL LONG SONGS By MICHAEL SETH CUDD A dissertation submitted to the School of Graduate Studies Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey In partial fulfillment of the requirements For the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Program in Music Written under the direction of Christopher Doll And approved by _____________________________________ _____________________________________ _____________________________________ _____________________________________ New Brunswick, New Jersey May 2020 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Functional and Lengthy: Prevailing Characteristics within Successful Long Songs by MICHAEL SETH CUDD Dissertation Director: Christopher Doll Successful long popular songs consistently utilize formal structures and compositional techniques that are inherently particular to them. As a result, these recordings differ in more ways than simply length, because there are “long song” characteristics that distinguish this music. In order to better discuss these characteristics, it was important to develop a method for visually depicting songs in a manner that clearly outlines each groove. These “groove analyses” are used to discuss each piece of music in detail. As a result, groove is a primary point of discussion throughout this study, because most long song characteristics are directly linked to this quality within music. This type of analysis is explained in detail, and afterwards, it is utilized throughout much of the dissertation. It is also hypothetically possible that the structures and techniques in question can impact the listener’s perception of time when used outside of the context of a long song. A simple experiment was run in order to better understand how these concepts influence a person’s sense of duration, and the results were promising and demonstrated trends that merit further research.
