  • Creative Writing
    2018 International Torrance Legacy Creativity Awards Creative Writing Talented young writers were invited to submit their most creative compositions in recognition of the legacy of creativity pioneer E. Paul Torrance. Over the past ten years, the International Torrance Legacy Creative Writing Awards competition has attracted hundreds of young writers who took part in two major categories: poetry and short story. In this year of judging submissions, we were pleased to see evidence of student maturity and growth in writing, in composition as well as in depth of feeling and insight. Student participation represented ages 8-18. Poems and stories were assessed in four age-lev- el categories: ages 8-10, 11-12, 13-15, and 16-18. The themes elicited a wide range of creative compositions—some strikingly original and imaginative. Entries also reflected a rich diversity of ideas and talents expressed by students throughout the United States and other countries, includ- ing Canada, Israel, New Zealand, Poland, Singapore, and South Korea. A panel of four judges, comprised of teachers, authors, and editors in the Chicago area, evalu- ated the quality of student poems and stories. They were Janet Bartell, Chair; Nancy Messman, Co-Chair; Dorothy Massalski; and Sarah von Fremd. Each used rubrics to critique the poetry and stories, focusing for stories on such criteria as organization, character and plot development, and for poetry, linguistic expressiveness, imagery, originality, and depth. All four judges commended the maturity and creativity evident

Reia Maynard moved her phone so she could see her math book better. Sitting on the bus stop outside of her school, she was one of the only students still on the municipal campus. Two girls were sitting at the far end of the stop, one braiding the other’s hair. One of the boys from math class was playing a video game, his smile practically glowing when the late afternoon sun glinted off his braces. A few others from the accelerated learning track were around, none of them doing much special. The downtown school was chipped brick and faded paint. Door handles had long lost not only their luster but their metal shine all together. Windows were broken. The sidewalk outside was cracked, similar to the adjacent potholes in the road. The smell of garbage and tobacco wafted through the air, along with deep frying and motor oil. The urban haze of sound and scent alike hung around the school like a fog. Reia ignored it as she had become so accustomed to doing. She was focused on two things.

JOHN HUGHES AND NEW HOLLYWOOD CINEMA SUMMARY My thesis explores debates on the commercial and textual priorities of New Hollywood cinema through examination of the career of John Hughes. I argue that scrutiny of Hughes’ career and the products associated with him expose the inadequacy of established approaches to cinematic authorship and New Hollywood cinema. By mounting a historically grounded investigation of Hughes’ career, his status within the cinema industry, and his work as a commercially successful and agenda-setting filmmaker, I aim to reevaluate existing perspectives on post-1970s mainstream popular U.S.
