  • Veronica Arroyo English 112B Dr. Warner Spring 2015 Annotated Bibliography: Social Awareness Through Literature Social Issues Transcend from Generation to Generation
    Veronica Arroyo English 112B Dr. Warner Spring 2015 Annotated Bibliography: Social Awareness through Literature Social issues transcend from generation to generation. Though social movements fighting for civil rights, women’s liberation/equality, and L.G.B.T. rights have made drastic steps towards a more inclusive community, much still needs to be done in order to bring about a more unity and tolerance. Growing up issues of race and gender inequalities were always present, but the discussions of these issues always seemed limited to one perspective or ruled by the notions of what is appropriate and inappropriate to address. While I was creating the reading list for my annotated bibliography, I decided to incorporate works of literature that throw you deep into social issues and allow you to explore the effects that they had during their respective time periods and how echoes of these issues are still present. In an attempt to bring social awareness and understanding to future generations I believe that it is vital to expose students to works of literature that bring to light various social issues, while still engaging them in the literature and encouraging them to reflect on how those issue are still present today. While I was compiling my ideal reading list that I would teach to my future high school students, I found myself leaning towards more traditional or canonical works of literature that I felt had a great impact on my sense of social awareness as a young adult. While these book can seem “dated” to today’s reader I feel that the themes and issues that they bring forth are still very relevant.

    DECONSTRUCTING AMERICA: READING JOHN STEINBECK ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS SUBMITTED FOR THE AWARD OF THE DEGREE OF ^ JBoctor of $IitlDfi;opI)p IN ENGLISH \ BY MANISH SINGH UNDER THE SUPERVISION OF DR. MADIHUR REHMAN DEPARTMENT OF ENGLISH ALIGARH MUSLIM UNIVERSITY ALIGARH (INDIA) 2013 Abstract The first chapter of the thesis, "The Path to Doom: America from Idea to Reality;'" takes the journey of America from its conception as an idea to its reality. The country that came into existence as a colony of Great Britain and became a refuge of the exploited and the persecuted on one hand and of the outlaws on other hand, soon transformed into a giant machine of exploitation, persecution and lawlessness, it is surprising to see how the noble ideas of equality, liberty and democracy and pursuit of happiness degenerated into callous profiteering. Individuals insensitive to the needs and happiness of others and arrogance based on a sense of racial superiority even before they take root in the virgin soil of the Newfoundland. The effects cf this degenerate ideology are felt not only by the Non-White races within America and the less privileged countries of the third world, but even by the Whites within America. The concepts of equality, freedom, democracy and pursuit of happiness were manufactured and have been exploited by the American ruling class.The first one to experience the crawling effects of the Great American Dream were original inhabitants of America, the Red Indians and later Blacks who were uprooted from their home and hearth and taken to America as slaves.

Tom is joined by a former preacher Casy, who has lost his faith. The whole family travel in an old truck across Colorado and Arizona to California. During the journey the family disintegrates; both grandparents die, the slow, quiet son Noah drifts away, and the son-in-law Connie abandons his pregnant wife Rosasharn. She gives birth to a stillborn child. The tragedy is mitigated by moments of kindness within the family, and to and from strangers they meet during their travels.

    Unlikely Transfusions: Wise Blood and The Grapes of Wrath John D. Seelye Steinbeck Studies, Volume 15, Number 1, Spring 2004, pp. 41-45 (Article) Published by The Martha Heasley Cox Center for Steinbeck Studies DOI: https://doi.org/10.1353/stn.2004.0022 For additional information about this article https://muse.jhu.edu/article/172420 [ This content has been declared free to read by the pubisher during the COVID-19 pandemic. ] UNLIKELY TRANSFUSIONS: WISE BLOOD AND THE GRAPES OF WRATH JOHN SEELYE THE LIST OF AMERICAN AUTHORS whose novels are in- debted for situations and materials (and popularity) to the novels and stories of John Steinbeck is impressive, from Ernest Hemingway’s The Old Man and the Sea to Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings’s The Yearling and Mary O’Hara’s My Friend Flicka. I would like to add Flannery O’Connor’s Wise Blood, a text clearly inspired by the surreal ironies of Nathaniel West and one that would seem to be whole worlds apart from the re- alistic, empathetic zone created by Steinbeck. Indeed, I had been teaching both Wise Blood and Of Mice and Men in an un- dergraduate course on the novella for a year or two before the possibility of a connection became clear, not with the story of Lennie and George but with the much more ambitious epic of the Joad family. Tom Joad’s return home from a stretch in prison for manslaughter is a memorable beginning for Steinbeck’s novel, starting with his angry response to a truck driver’s curiosity and ending as he stands in front of the Joad house, abandoned in the wake of the great dust storms of the Depression years in Okla- homa.

  • Ronald Davis Oral History Collection on the Performing Arts
    Oral History Collection on the Performing Arts in America Southern Methodist University The Southern Methodist University Oral History Program was begun in 1972 and is part of the University’s DeGolyer Institute for American Studies. The goal is to gather primary source material for future writers and cultural historians on all branches of the performing arts- opera, ballet, the concert stage, theatre, films, radio, television, burlesque, vaudeville, popular music, jazz, the circus, and miscellaneous amateur and local productions. The Collection is particularly strong, however, in the areas of motion pictures and popular music and includes interviews with celebrated performers as well as a wide variety of behind-the-scenes personnel, several of whom are now deceased. Most interviews are biographical in nature although some are focused exclusively on a single topic of historical importance. The Program aims at balancing national developments with examples from local history. Interviews with members of the Dallas Little Theatre, therefore, serve to illustrate a nation-wide movement, while film exhibition across the country is exemplified by the Interstate Theater Circuit of Texas. The interviews have all been conducted by trained historians, who attempt to view artistic achievements against a broad social and cultural backdrop. Many of the persons interviewed, because of educational limitations or various extenuating circumstances, would never write down their experiences, and therefore valuable information on our nation’s cultural heritage would be lost if it were not for the S.M.U. Oral History Program. Interviewees are selected on the strength of (1) their contribution to the performing arts in America, (2) their unique position in a given art form, and (3) availability.

  • Revisiting the American Dream in Fiction: Developing a Thematic Course
    DOCUMENT RESUME ED 478 187 CS 512 287 AUTHOR Siegel, Gerald TITLE Revisiting the American Dream in Fiction: Developing a Thematic Course. PUB DATE 2003-07-12 NOTE 20p.; Revised version of a paper presented at the Annual Meeting of the National Council of Teachers of English (92nd, Atlanta, GA, November 21-26, 2002). PUB TYPE Opinion Papers (120) Speeches/Meeting Papers (150) EDRS PRICE EDRS Price MF01/PC01 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS *American Dream; *Course Descriptions; Cultural Context; *Curriculum Development; Higher Education; Reader Response; Seminars; Thematic Approach; *United States Literature IDENTIFIERS September 11 Terrorist Attacks 2001 ABSTRACT This paper describes how two "American Dream" courses were created--one was a senior seminar in Fall 2001 that developed after the tragic events of that September and the other, its offspring, was a Fall 2002 class in the American Novel, which was planned deliberately. The paper first looks at how 9/11 changed the senior seminar by reversing the instructor/author's original plans to stress history over theme, and second, how he was able to use what he learned from the unexpected changes in the seminar to give new direction to an existing American Novel course. It describes mainly the course ideas he retained from the modified seminar and how they produced last semester's class. Along the way, the paper offers some ideas about how to introduce the American Dream theme into existing classes, thus avoiding the administrative problems of creating a new course to investigate this theme which has gained added relevance from the events of recent months. A detailed syllabus is attached.

It discusses how the two writers’ works are in dialogue with each other, and with the particular historical period in which the South had gone through many social, economical, and cultural changes. Hurston and Rawlings, who became friends with each other beyond their racial background in the segregated South, shared physical and social mobility and the interest in the Southern folk cultures.
