Download (2.46 ‘The Last Statue: Identifying Trends In Young Adult Fiction In Order To Support The Writing Of A Young Adult Novel Featuring A Fictional Language’ Thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirement of the degree of Master of Arts CA45 Central Queensland University School of Education and the Arts Denise Beckton Student Number s0234822 March 2016 Certificate of authorship and originality of thesis The work contained in this thesis has not previously been submitted either in whole or in part for a degree at CQUniversity or any other tertiary institution. To the best of my knowledge and belief, the material presented in this thesis is original except where due reference is made in the text. Signed: Dated: 3rd March 2016 Copyright statement This thesis may be freely copied and distributed for private use and study, however, no part of this thesis or the information contained therein may be included in or referred to in publications without prior permission of the author and/or any reference fully acknowledged. Signed: Dated: 3rd March 2016 2 Abstract This thesis includes two interrelated components: a creative work and exegesis. The creative component has involved the writing of a historically informed fiction entitled ‘The last statue’ and, more specifically, the construction and inclusion of a fictional language as a component of the novella’s narrative. This fictional narrative explores the enigmatic history of Easter Island and its inhabitants during a particularly turbulent and complicated time of the island’s history (c. 1200–1800 AD), and focuses on themes of love, loss and war. Authors have few models on which to base a creation of fictional language should they wish to include one as a narrative component. Through the investigation of existing artefacts containing examples of the defunct pictorial language of Easter Island (called Rongorongo), and applying a fictional meaning to the glyph-based language encrypted within them, this thesis demonstrates how practice-led research techniques helped to facilitate the construction of an invented language to support the novella’s narrative. A significant finding in this area is that the use of a fictional language/s can enhance aspects of a narrative, such as voice, setting, character development and plot. It is hoped that information gleaned from this research will offer guidance to authors wishing to develop and implement a fictional language (in this case, a pictorial/symbolic language) as a component of a fictional narrative. Written to accompany ‘The last statue’, the exegetical dissertation investigates the process and challenges associated with writing a contemporary Young Adult fiction novel when genres, sub-genres and target readerships are rapidly evolving. In identifying the distinguishing influences, and influencers, of change affecting contemporary bestselling Young Adult fiction (since 2005), this exegesis records the practice-led research methodology and resulting outcomes that inform and underpin the themes, narrative construction and literary devices chosen to develop and produce the accompanying novella. By extending scholarship relating to contemporary international bestselling Young Adult fiction, in particular, this exegesis provides research on a topic that, in scholarly terms, has eluded significant inquiry in recent times. This will be useful for creators and consumers of, and commentators on, contemporary Young Adult fiction as it contextualises and addresses current issues facing writers in this genre. 3 While this research supports recent findings that consider changes in Young Adult fiction to be positive developments, it also offers new scholarly knowledge that exposes the strategies and behaviours that predominantly adult groups and institutions are practising within the Young Adult fiction arena. These strategies are increasingly used to facilitate, hasten and heighten these changes. Additionally, this research asserts that market segmentation and franchise strategies that promote bestselling international fiction may be limiting the very potential that their popularity claims to offer. 4 Table of Contents Declaration Page 2.

Hodge-Podge: A Collection of Literary Claptrap and Fictive Nonsensery By Django Gold Advisor: Ricco Siasoco English and Arts & Sciences Honors Thesis Friday 13, April 2007 I dedicate this work to Robert Edmund Gold, deceased, father and friend, who taught me, among other things, the value of sincerity. What I have assembled here is far from perfect, but it approaches honesty.

First and foremost, I give thanks to my advisor, Ricco Siasoco, whose experience and expertise as a writer enabled me to take my thesis where I wanted it. It’s amazing the number of stupid mistakes one can make until a helpful second party points them out, and Ricco definitely had his hands full with me. What follows is richer for his counsel. Secondly, the illustrations are taken from Berke Breathed’s Bloom County comic and are used without permission. I’m not sure if I’m allowed to use them, but I don’t think they ever made any Hodge-Podge plush dolls, so it may be moot.

  • The Great Revelation Had Never Come... Instead There Were Little Daily Miracles, Illuminations, Matches Struck Unexpectedly in the Dark
    Stay The great revelation had never come... Instead there were little daily miracles, illuminations, matches struck unexpectedly in the dark... Virginia Woolf, To The Lighthouse The past is in us, and not behind us. Things are never over. Tim Winton, The Turning 5 Sunday afternoon drop-off London, 2007. Adam has his own keys. Claire had them cut for him, said it made sense. He remembers her putting them in his hand. The locksmith hadn’t filed the burrs properly. The two small pieces of metal had felt strange in his palm; cold and rough and heavy. He keeps them loose in his glovebox. He stands on the cracked concrete stoop of the Edwardian mansion house and buzzes anyway. No reply. Along the street’s terraced rooftops cawing crows, drawn here from the heath to nest, manage to make even the onset of summer sound ominous. This will be Adam’s twelfth year in London. He still gets a kick out of its crows and foxes in summer, its sludgy snow and half-light in winter. Where he comes from there are possums and gulls and an ever-reflecting brightness. Two more unanswered buzzes tell him Claire can’t be bothered traipsing downstairs to let him in. Or that she’s out. He turns the key in the sticky lock, pushes the heavy door, holds it open as Lucy, excited to be home, presses past him. She’s always so excited to get home. Can we say hello to Beetle, daddy, Lucy asks, with her mother’s vowels. Lucy’s grandmother says she has a voice like an angel.
