This newsletter a home for people only highlights a few, though we are delighted to recognize each of you. with terminal illness to die ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ with dignity and in comfort. Hello, My name is Bella Field and I’m a senior at Jordan Elbridge High School. As part of my Civics class, I am required to perform some type of community service. For my project, I decided to ask for monetary/gift card donations in order to buy supplies for Matthew House. I also purchased a variety of items to assemble “busy bags” for both adults and children. These bags are filled with many things to do, such as word search books, puzzles, crayons, etc. I did this because I know what it’s like to sit with ill family members and have something to do to take your mind off why you’re sitting and waiting. These bags are given to family members while they are spending time with their loved one at Matthew House, or they are provided to children as a way to keep them busy during a wake or funeral service, it was important to me to contribute something. I also purchased several items off of your “wish list.” Monetary donations and gift cards were supplied by my friends and family members, along with Wegmans and Walmart of Auburn. Matthew House has a special connection to me because in October of 2016 my grandmother was scheduled to move into your home. Unfortunately, she passed away the morning she was to move in. None the less, my family was grateful that there was a place for her to go and I wanted to somehow give back. Thank you for your time and I am looking forward to dropping these items off to you.

    LOVE • HOPE • GROW Our SPIN Frankford Pre-school has over 225 children who are coming to school every day! Learning the names and faces of all the new friends can be quite a challenge. When you add in that some of these children have also been diagnosed with Autism and may need additional support making friends, teachers know that they need to have a plan. The teachers in the Autistic Support Classrooms had a brilliant idea. Why not visit with the children in the other classrooms and share information with the children and teachers in these classrooms about the children with autism. The teachers read books about children with autism and planned a craft activity for each of the classrooms. They spent time with the children and provided opportunity to ask questions. The children seemed to enjoy the stories focused on how children with autism are children who just play a little differently or may speak a bit differently but mostly they just want to play and have friends and have a good time just like everyone else. Within the next few days the success of the activity was evident. Teachers saw the children reaching out to one another. As the children from the Autistic Support classroom were coming to lunch, other children were saying “Hi” and some of the children with autism were returning the greeting. Best of all, one of the teachers overheard a child ask their new friend “Do you want to play with me?” Children were embracing Love • Hope • Grow at SPIN!

  • An Analysis of Hegemonic Social Structures in "Friends"
    "I'LL BE THERE FOR YOU" IF YOU ARE JUST LIKE ME: AN ANALYSIS OF HEGEMONIC SOCIAL STRUCTURES IN "FRIENDS" Lisa Marie Marshall A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY August 2007 Committee: Katherine A. Bradshaw, Advisor Audrey E. Ellenwood Graduate Faculty Representative James C. Foust Lynda Dee Dixon © 2007 Lisa Marshall All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Katherine A. Bradshaw, Advisor The purpose of this dissertation is to analyze the dominant ideologies and hegemonic social constructs the television series Friends communicates in regard to friendship practices, gender roles, racial representations, and social class in order to suggest relationships between the series and social patterns in the broader culture. This dissertation describes the importance of studying television content and its relationship to media culture and social influence. The analysis included a quantitative content analysis of friendship maintenance, and a qualitative textual analysis of alternative families, gender, race, and class representations. The analysis found the characters displayed actions of selectivity, only accepting a small group of friends in their social circle based on friendship, gender, race, and social class distinctions as the six characters formed a culture that no one else was allowed to enter. iv ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This project stems from countless years of watching and appreciating television. When I was in college, a good friend told me about a series that featured six young people who discussed their lives over countless cups of coffee. Even though the series was in its seventh year at the time, I did not start to watch the show until that season.

  • ABSTRACT the Women of Supernatural: More Than
    ABSTRACT The Women of Supernatural: More than Stereotypes Miranda B. Leddy, M.A. Mentor: Mia Moody-Ramirez, Ph.D. This critical discourse analysis of the American horror television show, Supernatural, uses a gender perspective to assess the stereotypes and female characters in the popular series. As part of this study 34 episodes of Supernatural and 19 female characters were analyzed. Findings indicate that while the target audience for Supernatural is women, the show tends to portray them in traditional, feminine, and horror genre stereotypes. The purpose of this thesis is twofold: 1) to provide a description of the types of female characters prevalent in the early seasons of Supernatural including mother-figures, victims, and monsters, and 2) to describe the changes that take place in the later seasons when the female characters no longer fit into feminine or horror stereotypes. Findings indicate that female characters of Supernatural have evolved throughout the seasons of the show and are more than just background characters in need of rescue. These findings are important because they illustrate that representations of women in television are not always based on stereotypes, and that the horror genre is evolving and beginning to depict strong female characters that are brave, intellectual leaders instead of victims being rescued by men. The female audience will be exposed to a more accurate portrayal of women to which they can relate and be inspired. Copyright © 2014 by Miranda B. Leddy All rights reserved TABLE OF CONTENTS Tables

By foregrounding the role of the audience in creating meaning and by minimizing the “show” as a coherent work, I reconnect musicals to their roots in comedy by way of Mikhail Bakhtin’s theories of carnival and reduced laughter. The audiences I study are kids, queers, and collectors, an alliterative set of people whose gender identities and expressions all depart from or fall outside of the normative binary. Focusing on these audiences, whose musical comedy fandom is widely acknowledged but little studied, I follow Raymond Knapp and Stacy Wolf to demonstrate that musical comedy provides a forum for identity formation especially for these problematically gendered audiences. ii The dissertation of Samuel Dworkin Baltimore is approved.
