Paper Wreath Activity In ancient Greece, wreaths were given to the victors of Olympic and dramatic competitions to wear as crowns. Dramatic competitions were festivals where actors and poets competed to present the best play or poem. The winners received ivy crowns as a prize. These wreaths came from the gods who were the patrons of these events. Dionysus, the god of theater, is shown wearing an ivy crown. Apollo, the god of prophecy and oracles, music, song, poetry, healing, education, and archery, is often depicted wearing a laurel crown or holding a laurel branch. Since the time of the first Olympics in Greece, the laurel crown and laurel leaves have been symbols of victory, success, and fame. In fact, the laurel wreath is often depicted on modern Olympic medals. Artist’s rendition of original paint on In this activity, make your own paper wreath crown! Dionysus (Bacchus) head KM 1974.4.1. Supplies: • Paper (printer paper, cardstock, or construction paper) Note: Can substitute paper with felt • Scissors • Markers, crayons, or colored pencils • Glue or tape Instructions: 1. Print out leaves on desired paper or draw 12–16 leaves. 2. If using white paper, color the leaves. 3. Cut out leaves. 4. Cut two 2-inch-wide strips down the length of a sheet of paper. Color band. 5. Attach the strips together, creating one long 2-inch-wide band. 6. Wrap the paper band around the head of the crown wearer to measure for size. 7. Trim excess paper and attach the two ends of the band together with tape, creating a closed ring. 8. Using adhesive, attach the leaves to the paper ring in your desired pattern. 9. When the adhesive is dry, the crown is ready for your Olympic victor! *Note: An unused headband is a great substitute for the paper band. Attach the leaves to the headband and use that as your crown! @kelseymuseum #kelseyolympics | lsa.umich.edu/kelsey @kelseymuseum #kelseyolympics | lsa.umich.edu/kelsey .

The Advent Wreath
THE ADVENT WREATH We know that ADVENT means COMING, and we know that Christmas is coming, but the season of Advent reminds us there is more to Christmas preparations than gift lists, frantic shopping, school plays and party schedules, etc. All the December activities make it easy to put off preparing our hearts for the true meaning of our Christmas celebration. The Advent wreath helps us keep a balance in our lives during the weeks of expectancy. The tradition of the family gathered around the table before a meal, lighting Advent candles, saying Advent prayers and sharing appropriate readings helps us to prepare our hearts for the coming of the Christ Child -- - as for many centuries God prepared the world for the birth of Jesus. The circle of the wreath reminds us that God has no beginning and no end. The evergreens represent the promise of eternal life. The candles represent Jesus’ overcoming the darkness of hatred and evil with the light of joy and love. The brief ritual described below, and on the following pages, is to be used each evening when the family gathers, beginning on the first of the four Sundays in Advent and continuing each day of the week. Adapt it if you like to include other prayers and verses. Some prefer to use “Advent Blue” candles. Other traditions use red or white. You may also choose to add a white “Christ candle” in the center to light on Christmas Eve. THE FIRST WEEK IN ADVENT A family member lights one (only) purple candle, saying: “I light this candle to remind us that we must prepare our hearts for the coming of the Christ Child.” COLLECT for the first week in Advent (said by all): “Almighty God, give us grace to cast away the works of darkness and put on the armor of light, now in the time of this mortal life in which your son, Jesus Christ, came to visit us in great humility; that in the last day, when he shall come again in his glorious majesty to judge both the living and the dead, we may rise to the life immortal; through him who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever.

Throughout His Writing Career, Nelson Algren Was Fascinated by Criminality
RAGGED FIGURES: THE LUMPENPROLETARIAT IN NELSON ALGREN AND RALPH ELLISON by Nathaniel F. Mills A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (English Language and Literature) in The University of Michigan 2011 Doctoral Committee: Professor Alan M. Wald, Chair Professor Marjorie Levinson Professor Patricia Smith Yaeger Associate Professor Megan L. Sweeney For graduate students on the left ii Acknowledgements Indebtedness is the overriding condition of scholarly production and my case is no exception. I‘d like to thank first John Callahan, Donn Zaretsky, and The Ralph and Fanny Ellison Charitable Trust for permission to quote from Ralph Ellison‘s archival material, and Donadio and Olson, Inc. for permission to quote from Nelson Algren‘s archive. Alan Wald‘s enthusiasm for the study of the American left made this project possible, and I have been guided at all turns by his knowledge of this area and his unlimited support for scholars trying, in their writing and in their professional lives, to negotiate scholarship with political commitment. Since my first semester in the Ph.D. program at Michigan, Marjorie Levinson has shaped my thinking about critical theory, Marxism, literature, and the basic protocols of literary criticism while providing me with the conceptual resources to develop my own academic identity. To Patricia Yaeger I owe above all the lesson that one can (and should) be conceptually rigorous without being opaque, and that the construction of one‘s sentences can complement the content of those sentences in productive ways. I see her own characteristic synthesis of stylistic and conceptual fluidity as a benchmark of criticism and theory and as inspiring example of conceptual creativity.
