What could a troubled sixteen year-old and an aging, homeless television actress, now living in her decaying Mercedes, possibly have in common? Plenty as it turns out. Tracy Cooper finds her life begins to change in ways she never could have imagined after a chance meeting with Alana “Lanie” Milner, once one of television’s most beloved stars. Tracy soon finds herself caught up in the heartbreaking life on the street. The experience becomes a defining one for her, and she uses her camera to record Lanie’s life and the experiences of homeless women she meets. In the process, she learns to deal with loss and the value of letting go, and she realizes that being a family is more about love and acceptance than about blood. Lovesick. Lovesick chronicles the complexity of teenage life and the American political climate in the 1950s. The young adult novel, published by Glass Apple Press, is available in paperback and digital format through Amazon and other major book retailers. In Lovesick , Jeanmarie Dowd is crazy about handsome Chuck Neary, captain of Rainier High School’s hockey team and a musician. But he belongs to Terry Miller, Jeanmarie’s best friend and the school’s reigning beauty. But Jeanmarie has a few things going for her, too. She is smart, fun-loving and energetic. She accepts her role as Chuck’s chief confidant, knowing it might lead to betraying her best friend. She also must deal with her sister Iris, suspected of being a communist. Can she be loyal to both her sister and Terry without betraying those she loves most? Annie"s War.

  • Taking Comics Seriously
    POP CULTURE clusively with daytime. The show features no gunfights or car chases; there are moments of leisurely, uneventful conversation between the younger and older generations. It is a curious inversion: Where once daytime TV fled prime time, prime time now copies daytime. The evidence is every- where, from the success of The Forsyte Saga and Upstairs Down- stairs (soap operas with extra starch) to major television serials like Rich Man Poor Man, Roots, and Captains and Kings. Spec- taculars aside, even a regular offering such as Family reflects a soap-opera sense of continuity. The major characters suffer. They have affairs, consider marriage, drop out of school, worry about mortality It goes too far to say that daytime dramas are genuinely realistic. The necessities of the form require too many brushes with the kinds of crises that most families would suffer only a few times in a generation. But both soaps and game shows have certainly tried to move television closer to what Paddy Chayefsky called "the marvelous world of the ordinary." What daytime TV has given prime time is the possibility of exploring characters not through the prism of fantasy, but through a focus closer to the way most of us spend our lives. And that is no mean contribution. TAKING COMICS SERIOUSLY by Arthur Asa Berger New art forms are often greeted with derision. Attic tragedy was denounced by conservative Greeks, impressionism by high- brow Parisians. Americans, too, have snubbed new, indigenous art forms. The comics, for example, like jazz music, are a home- grown American product; and like jazz, they were long ignored by "serious" critics.

Abstract ____________________________ This interdisciplinary thesis examines the myth of the orphan in twentieth-century America as exemplified through the recurring story of “Little Orphan Annie,” an iconic American figure of independence, resilience, and optimism. By providing historical context and literary analysis for each of Annie’s crucial moments in the twentieth century, this thesis shows how the character has advanced a misguided perception of orphan and youth agency. While evolving to represent different decades of American society in the twentieth century through different mediums, Annie has further misled Americans in their perception of orphan and youth agency.

  • Little Orphan Annie and Conservative Politics
    Small but Standing Tall: Harold Gray’s Little Orphan Annie and the pre-New Deal American Ideal [Note: The text below is, as it were, an op-ed piece by a superannuated Gray-inspired curmudgeon.] Are you a conservative? If your answer to this question is “Yes,”, then arguably you should not be a conservative – you’re unqualified. But if your answer is “No,” then you may want to think about becoming one . OK, what’s the catch? What else could it be except that a good case can be made for conservatism being something other than what our contemporaries, conservatives included, think it is? But how could there be a difference? Don’t conservatives, in the spirit of Edmund Burke, at least try to conserve traditional valuations? And if conservatism doesn’t consist in conserving, what is it? First, let’s ask Miss Nomer, a literary hackette at least as overworked as her famous cousin Madame Malaprop, what’s not the catch. Then let’s ask an 88 year old, red-headed orphan girl with a dog named Sandy what the catch is. * 1 Stemming as it obviously does from the Latin word for “free,” “liberal” is clearly one of Miss Nomer’s prize confections, though not her pièce de résistance. A political ethos whose logical endgame is to legislate, regulate and court-order the life of citizens until all that’s not obligatory is forbidden can be called many things, but the stuff of freedom it is not. And though she knows full well that liberals certainly spend freely, Miss Nomer is quick to cackle that liberality is the virtue of freely giving out of one’s own substance, not the flinging of largesse culled by coercion from others.

  • Study Guide “Her Name Is Annie”: Getting to Know the Show
    STUDY GUIDE “HER NAME IS ANNIE”: GETTING TO KNOW THE SHOW ANNIE: PAGE TO STAGE Annie, the red-headed orphan full of optimism and charm, has delighted audiences for nearly 100 years! Long before she was singing and dancing on Broadway or lighting up the silver screen, Little Orphan Annie appeared in another one of the nation’s major institutions- the pages of the Daily News. ON THE PAGE Created by cartoonist Harold Gray, the Little Orphan Annie comic strip first appeared in August of 1924. Cap- turing the political and economic spirit of the time, the strip and its leading lady swept the nation. Featuring the adventures of a young girl without any family to call her own, Annie connected to the American public at a time when people needed hope and an independent spirit. Gray used the comic strip to comment on the state of the country. He was influenced by the stock market crash, the Great Depression, and World War II. Q: Can you name any current examples of entertainment that also reflect the current political and economic issues facing the country? Q: How does popular entertainment allow us to think about the world through the use of a fictional character? LEAPIN’ LIZARDS! : According to Harold Gray, Annie was inspired by meeting a young girl on the streets of Chicago while looking for cartoon ideas. “I talked to this little kid and liked her right away,” Gray said, “She had common sense, knew how to take care of herself. She had to. Her name was Annie. At the time some 40 strips were using boys as the main characters; only three were using girls.
