Material is solicited from students of the college. A writer is not so much someone who has something to say as he is someone who has found a process that will bring about new things he would not have thought of if he had not started to say them…; he engages in an activity that brings to him a whole succession of unforeseen stories, poems, essays, plays…but wait! When I write, I like to have an interval before me when I am not likely to be interrupted. For me, this means usually the early morning, before others are awake. I get pen and paper, take a glance out of the window (often it is dark out there), and wait. — William Stafford, from “A Way of Writing” M i l e s t o n e 2 0 0 4 3 Contents Editor’s Note 7 Part I: The Work Monique C.

Students who have passed through our literature and creative writing courses especially know the enduring lessons that these authors continue to teach us when we read, study, set pen to paper and struggle to express who we are, how we feel about our deepest desires, joys and sorrows in a few articulate words. As human beings, this is a legacy we all share. I am thinking, in particular, of Wordsworth’s well-quoted passage, “poetry is the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings: it takes its ori- gin from emotion recollected in tranquillity….” In another place from his “Preface to Lyrical Ballads,” Wordsworth declares that “these passions and thoughts and feelings are the general passions and thoughts of men [and women].” The contributors in this issue have gone through the writing process of recollecting those feelings and thoughts that in their best moments move beyond the individual life to the universal. Whether the writer reflects a Latino, Asian, or Anglo background, when he/she recalls those feelings about a loved one, or the time of crossing over from innocence to experience, or that enlightening moment of self-awareness; or when the writer explores a particular subject matter like identity or race, or even a literary text, his/her poem, personal narrative, short story, or essay reaches some core that we can all respond to or learn from. For example, as in other recent issues, Milestone 2005 includes a sam- pling of essays (refer to “Writing about Literature”) written in response to literary works studied in class. My hope is that they will be of some help to students who are doing a close reading of a text, keeping in mind, of course, that each instructor and assigned paper have their own requirements. Another added section is “A Workshop Poem,” a series of poems which evolved out of a class exercise in which I wanted the students to M i l e s t o n e 2 0 0 4 8 focus on imagery and texture. Finally, a section on their experience of seeing, being in the presence of a live reader. For many, attending a live reading is a first-time event. Once again, I would like to thank the students in the Spring 127 Creative Writing course, who applied their workshop skills to selecting the first cut of submissions for this issue. As always, Milestone belongs to the writers, artists, and students on this campus as well as the communi- ty. Those of us who have nurtured them in our classes, counseled them through the transfer process, and represented them on the administra- tive level know the importance of having their creative and academic works represented in a college literary journal. I would also like to express my ongoing appreciation to Trish Glover, Graphic Arts Designer; members of the Art Department, in particular Chris Moreno for her gathering of student art in this issue; members of the English Department, and my colleagues on the Milestone Committee: Susan Suntree and Joan Gurfield. Congratulations for another successful publication. — Carol Lem, Sierra Madre 8/16/05 9 East Los Angeles College Monique C.

  • Identification of Asian Garments in Small Museums
    AN ABSTRACTOF THE THESIS OF Alison E. Kondo for the degree ofMaster ofScience in Apparel Interiors, Housing and Merchandising presented on June 7, 2000. Title: Identification ofAsian Garments in Small Museums. Redacted for privacy Abstract approved: Elaine Pedersen The frequent misidentification ofAsian garments in small museum collections indicated the need for a garment identification system specifically for use in differentiating the various forms ofAsian clothing. The decision tree system proposed in this thesis is intended to provide an instrument to distinguish the clothing styles ofJapan, China, Korea, Tibet, and northern Nepal which are found most frequently in museum clothing collections. The first step ofthe decision tree uses the shape ofthe neckline to distinguish the garment's country oforigin. The second step ofthe decision tree uses the sleeve shape to determine factors such as the gender and marital status ofthe wearer, and the formality level ofthe garment. The decision tree instrument was tested with a sample population of 10 undergraduates representing volunteer docents and 4 graduate students representing curators ofa small museum. The subjects were asked to determine the country oforigin, the original wearer's gender and marital status, and the garment's formality and function, as appropriate. The test was successful in identifying the country oforigin ofall 12 Asian garments and had less successful results for the remaining variables. Copyright by Alison E.

    Mother of the Nation: Femininity, Modernity, and Class in the Image of Empress Teimei By ©2016 Alison Miller Submitted to the graduate degree program in the History of Art and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. ________________________________ Chairperson Dr. Maki Kaneko ________________________________ Dr. Sherry Fowler ________________________________ Dr. David Cateforis ________________________________ Dr. John Pultz ________________________________ Dr. Akiko Takeyama Date Defended: April 15, 2016 The Dissertation Committee for Alison Miller certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: Mother of the Nation: Femininity, Modernity, and Class in the Image of Empress Teimei ________________________________ Chairperson Dr. Maki Kaneko Date approved: April 15, 2016 ii Abstract This dissertation examines the political significance of the image of the Japanese Empress Teimei (1884-1951) with a focus on issues of gender and class. During the first three decades of the twentieth century, Japanese society underwent significant changes in a short amount of time. After the intense modernizations of the late nineteenth century, the start of the twentieth century witnessed an increase in overseas militarism, turbulent domestic politics, an evolving middle class, and the expansion of roles for women to play outside the home. As such, the early decades of the twentieth century in Japan were a crucial period for the formation of modern ideas about femininity and womanhood. Before, during, and after the rule of her husband Emperor Taishō (1879-1926; r. 1912-1926), Empress Teimei held a highly public role, and was frequently seen in a variety of visual media.

  • ENDER's GAME by Orson Scott Card Chapter 1 -- Third
    ENDER'S GAME by Orson Scott Card Chapter 1 -- Third "I've watched through his eyes, I've listened through his ears, and tell you he's the one. Or at least as close as we're going to get." "That's what you said about the brother." "The brother tested out impossible. For other reasons. Nothing to do with his ability." "Same with the sister. And there are doubts about him. He's too malleable. Too willing to submerge himself in someone else's will." "Not if the other person is his enemy." "So what do we do? Surround him with enemies all the time?" "If we have to." "I thought you said you liked this kid." "If the buggers get him, they'll make me look like his favorite uncle." "All right. We're saving the world, after all. Take him." *** The monitor lady smiled very nicely and tousled his hair and said, "Andrew, I suppose by now you're just absolutely sick of having that horrid monitor. Well, I have good news for you. That monitor is going to come out today. We're going to just take it right out, and it won't hurt a bit." Ender nodded. It was a lie, of course, that it wouldn't hurt a bit. But since adults always said it when it was going to hurt, he could count on that statement as an accurate prediction of the future. Sometimes lies were more dependable than the truth. "So if you'll just come over here, Andrew, just sit right up here on the examining table.

  • The YA Novel in the Digital Age by Amy Bright a Thesis
    The YA Novel in the Digital Age by Amy Bright A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English Department of English and Film Studies University of Alberta © Amy Bright, 2016 Abstract Recent research by Neilsen reports that adult readers purchase 80% of all young adult novels sold, even though young adult literature is a category ostensibly targeted towards teenage readers (Gilmore). More than ever before, young adult (YA) literature is at the center of some of the most interesting literary conversations, as writers, readers, and publishers discuss its wide appeal in the twenty-first century. My dissertation joins this vibrant discussion by examining the ways in which YA literature has transformed to respond to changing social and technological contexts. Today, writing, reading, and marketing YA means engaging with technological advances, multiliteracies and multimodalities, and cultural and social perspectives. A critical examination of five YA texts – Markus Zusak’s The Book Thief, Libba Bray’s Beauty Queens, Daniel Handler’s Why We Broke Up, John Green’s The Fault in Our Stars, and Jaclyn Moriarty’s The Ghosts of Ashbury High – helps to shape understanding about the changes and the challenges facing this category of literature as it responds in a variety of ways to new contexts. In the first chapter, I explore the history of YA literature in order to trace the ways that this literary category has changed in response to new conditions to appeal to and serve a new generation of readers, readers with different experiences, concerns, and contexts over time.

    ABSTRACT SMALL GODS & ORBITAL BODIES: A THESIS by Anthony F. Ramstetter, Jr. This manuscript is my Master thesis, which I have compiled to fulfill the requirements of a creative writing examination in poetry. It collects diverse thematic pathways into professional and publishable form. The first section includes rough reflections on spirituality, which create worlds within their own respective compass. The second section includes humorous, incidental poems that play with the linkage of the ampersand. The third section meditates on personal relationships and various intimacies.
