Lucy, the Same Night (423.6Kb Application/Pdf) Lucy, the Same Night A Supporting Paper Submitted to the Graduate Faculty of the Department of Art University of Minnesota By Simcha Smith In partial fulfillment of the requirements of the Master of Fine Arts Degree in Art November 26, 2019 Committee: Diane Willow, Chair Christina Schmid Leslie Morris 1. 2. Lucy, the Same Night In the center of the empty dream gallery lies a bed. The bed has a wooden frame, white bedding, and a queen size mattress. On the right side of the bed, a gray pillar of unfired clay stretches the length of the bed and slouches beyond its foot. This is titled “Lucy, the Same Night”. 3. 4. Book 1 5. 6. 1. 7. //The dream can be divided by material into objects [space, bed, pillar, title], which further divide into components {the room, the walls/lack of walls, the occupants/lack of occupants, the bed}, {sheets, mattress, pillows, frame, headboard}, {clay body}, {Lucy, the, Same, Night}. The bed can be further reduced into materials (wood, fabric, fill, nails, glue). //White is the initial state. Each time I lie (alone or with another) on my sheets, I degrade and accelerate the degradation of the sheets’ whiteness. The initial white is the result of bleaching and processing. Each time I sleep, I test the sheets’ oil holding capacity. Washing them resets the test but does not rewhiten the sheets. I could (but do not) bleach the sheets and force them white at the cost of the fibers’ integrity. This would not return the white- ness. My (and others’) oils yellow the sheets and the sheets themselves perform yellowing. Though not their intended goal, it is what the sheets were bought and made to do. //I surround myself with and feel incapable of movement in this whiteness. The white 8. bed asks me to lie perfectly still. It asks me to wash my hair before sleeping in it and to not turn my oily cheeks onto it. And yet, I receive satisfaction from testing the white- ness’s absorption. At a certain saturation point the sheets must become somewhat stain-proof, or, unable to change. The bed loses its ability to leech liquids and starts to test my body’s absorption. The abject happens in the unwashed sheets when I’m asked to absorb my own fluids again. //To protect wood (which is dried after its death) from water, it must be coated in oil. Water, which once kept the wood, will now warp it. //As an object, the bed functions as a grave- yard for its construction materials. Sheets are the end of the cotton’s cycle. The frame marks the end of the tree’s life. While it remains as bed, nothing returns into its life/death cycle. Each of these once-living organisms now serve human ends: repro- duction, rest, horizontal orienting. //A bed is the arrangement of set materials made for living body/ies to facilitate lying. When made for living bodies (plural) to sit/ 9. Pugmill I load a handful of clay into the extruder. I undo a latch, move a plate, and I dream of falling into the mill. As the plate behind me closes, I see my body become compacted through pressure and force into one long, continuous cylinder. All of the air between parts gets pumped from my body and the most condensed ver- sion of me comes out the metal end of the tube into a singular form. I wonder how much me there would be at the end. Once the air and excess liquid gets pushed from the meaty core, all that connective material inside me becomes unnecessary. Elbow and head have a direct link. Ears and feet are adjacent. Any body part could be easily accessed through this newly simplified network. My heart needn’t work as hard. My nerves don’t have to branch to send signals. Slowly my communicative struc- tures begin dying off from redundancies. Everything is touching everything here in a perfect cylinder. As I’m loading new handfuls of clay, this vision of unity gets disrupted. Wet clay sticks to the sides of the mill’s metal body and forces out a rough almost-but-not-quite cylinder. A cylinder on average, maybe, but certainly not a shape, not a form. The clay shears against itself, building up layers and pushing out a tree bark body. Instead of receiving a compact, complete tube of me, I have to grapple with this incomplete product. It isn’t whole. There are still bits of clay self clinging to the metal, dislocated from my central bulk. And those bits pull more and more body to them. As I lift the valve to insert another mound of clay, I fight against the suction until it gives all at once and air that is 10. not clay spills in. 11.

And Abel he too brought of the firstborn of his flocks and of their fattest, and the Lord turned to Abel and to his offering. And Abel brought to the firstborn of his flocks of the fattest, and to the Lord and turning to Abel he said of his offering.

But to Cain and to his offering He did not turn unto his Cain and offering and it annoyed his countenance and he fell and he turned unto his count unto his count unto his count and Cain And Cain turned unto his count and he made his offering unto him. He did not turn And Cain did not turn. The Lord did not turn unto Cain and he did not count. And he did not count unto Cain or his offering. And the Lord said to Cain, “Why are you an- noyed, and why has your countenance fallen? And to the Lord said Cain “Why are you an- noyed and why has your count fallen?” And the Lord and Cain said “Why are you so annoyed and why has your count fallen?” “Why are you so annoyed and why has your count fallen” The Lord unto Cain said “Why has your count fallen, why are you annoyed?” And the Lord said to the Cain “Why are you an- noyed. Why has your count until now fallen” “Why has the count that you’ve kept until now fallen?” “Why has the count fallen” Is it not so that if you improve, it will be forgiven you?

If you do not improve, however at the entrance of sin is lying, and to you is its longing but you can rule over it.” It is not so that you improve, it is so that you will be for- gotten? If you do not improve, the entrance of sin is at the lying, and it is to you that longing can rule over it.” It is not so that you improve, but so that you will be forgotten.

White Professor of Law, University ofHouston Law Center. B.A., Rice University, 1959; LL.B., New York University School of Law, 1964. We extend special thanks to Rabbi Arnold Greenman for his invaluable assistance on the Jewish law segment of this article. Thanks also to Harriet Richman, Director, Faculty Research Services, University of Houston Law Library, and the students under her supervision, especially Stewart Schmella, Class of 2001, University of Houston Law Center. In addition, we have profited greatly from the suggestions of our colleagues in the "Thursday Thoughts" faculty workshop, especially Joseph Sanders. In our citations to Jewish law materials, we have used English translations whenever possible, verifying their accuracy by comparing them with the original sources. In some cases, however, this means that the same word will be transliterated differently by various translators. For example, the Hebrew letter equivalents of"s" and "t" are sometimes used interchangeably. With respect to Hebrew and Aramaic sources that have not been translated into English, we of course vouch for the accuracy of the translations.

    November 17, 2019 - No Room for Anger Preacher: Pastor Twyla Scripture: Genesis 4:1-12, James 1:19-21 Genesis 4:1-12: Cain Murders Abel 4 Now the man knew his wife Eve, and she conceived and bore Cain, saying, “I have produced a man with the help of the Lord.” 2 Next, she bore his brother Abel. Now Abel was a keeper of sheep, and Cain a tiller of the ground. 3 In the course of time Cain brought to the Lord an offering of the fruit of the ground, 4 and Abel for his part brought of the firstlings of his flock, their fat portions. And the Lord had regard for Abel and his offering, 5 but for Cain and his offering he had no regard. So, Cain was very angry, and his countenance fell. 6 The Lord said to Cain, “Why are you angry, and why has your countenance fallen? 7 If you do well, will you not be accepted? And if you do not do well, sin is lurking at the door; its desire is for you, but you must master it.” 8 Cain said to his brother Abel, “Let us go out to the field.” And when they were in the field, Cain rose up against his brother Abel, and killed him. 9 Then the Lord said to Cain, “Where is your brother Abel?” He said, “I do not know; am I my brother’s keeper?” 10 And the Lord said, “What have you done? Listen; your brother’s blood is crying out to me from the ground! 11 And now you are cursed from the ground, which has opened its mouth to receive your brother’s blood from your hand.

  • A Glance at Stephen King's Life
    Appendix: I A Glance at Stephen King’s Life Illustration 20: Stephen King 182 Stephen Edwin King was born on September 21, 1947 in Portland, Maine, USA, to Donald Edwin King and Nellie Ruth Pillsbury. When he was two years old, his father (born David Spansky) deserted his family and Ruth raised Stephen and his brother David by herself, sometimes under great financial strain. The family moved to Ruth’s home town of Durham, Maine but also spent brief periods in Fort Wayne, Indiana and Stratford, Connecticut. King attended Durham Elementary Grammar School and then nearby Lisbon High School. He has been writing since an early age. When in school, he wrote stories plagiarised from what he’d been reading at the time, and sold them to his friends. This was not popular among his teachers, and he was forced to return his profits when this was discovered. From 1966 to 1970, King studied English at the University of Maine at Orono. There, King wrote a column in the school magazine called “King’s Garbage Truck”. At the university, he also met Tabitha Spruce who he married in 1971. King took on odd jobs to pay for his studies. One of them was at an industrial laundry, from which he drew material for the short story “The Mangler”. This period in his life is readily evident in the second part of Hearts in Atlantis After finishing his university studies with a Bachelor of Science in English and obtaining a certificate to teach high school, King took a job as an English teacher at Hampden Academy in Hampden, Maine.

In modern literary we study not the text itself in its pure form, but the textual studies the interest in elements that do not fully belong to the text periphery which has specific meaning and influences the reader in further understanding of the story. In the thesis we have made of a literary work but, nevertheless, constitute a whole with it, arose an attempt to identify the communicative potential of paratextual after the investigation of a famous French researcher Gerard Genette elements and the ways of their language implementation, as (1982, 1991, 1997).

The oldest, “The Reaper’s Image,” was written when I was eighteen, in the summer before I started college. I thought of the idea, as a matter of fact, when I was out in the back yard of our house in West Durham, Maine, shooting baskets with my brother, and reading it over again made me feel a little sad for those old times. The most recent, “The Ballad of the Flexible Bullet,” was finished in November of 1983. That is a span of seventeen years, and does not count as much, I suppose, if put in comparison with such long and rich careers as those enjoyed by writers as diverse as Graham Greene, Somerset Maugham, Mark Twain, and Eudora Welty, but it is a longer time than Stephen Crane had, and about the same length as the span of H.

  • Tetiana Borysova Semantic Peculiarities of Headings In
    Tetiana Borysova SeMAnTiC PeCUliAriTieS oF heADingS in STePhen King liTerArY WorKS Tetiana Borysova1 DOI: https://doi.org/10.30525/978-9934-588-15-0-106 Abstract. The purpose of the article is to describe the stylistic and prag- matic potential of paratextual elements in the fiction works by a modern American writer Stephen King. Methodology. The descriptive and com- parative methods, as well as of structural-semantic and contextual analysis, allowed us to discover basic means of the paratextual elements conceptual- ization and define their functions. The survey is based on the material from more than 620 literary texts by Stephen King and their translations into Ukrainian language. Practical implications. The article presents a brief con- templated survey of the basic studies in the theory of the paratext, different views in this sphere in domestic and foreign linguistics; the main pragmatic and stylistic functions implemented of such important in its influence on the reader paratextual element as a title are identified. The study deals with the analysis of the composition and plot construction of Stephen King’s literary works and publicist essays, which resulted in a number of features specific to the author’s writing techniques. Value / originality. The investi- gation shows that the paratext in Stephen King's works plays an important structural and meaningful role in artistic and semantic comprehension of the literary discourse under analysis. The paratextual elements in stories are closely associated with the further text and serve as a clearly deliberate projection of the plot and a reader’s guide into this content. Conclusions. It was determined that the title is one of the main paratextual elements that carries factual, conceptual and subtextual information in the literary works under analysis, as well as introduces a significant layer of cultural informa- tion into the artistic space.
