THERAPY ROOM - DAY (Present) A therapy session where the juveniles are sitting in a circle and the counselor is encouraging them to share their stories. COUNSELOR Ryan, do you have something to share? RYAN Finally got into exercise mode. Did about 30 reps. COUNSELOR Wow, that’s an incredible progress Ryan. And how do you feel about that? RYAN Aite. I shoud’ve done more. COUNSELOR Well, we all need to take it one step at a time. But you keep that up. Anyone else? How about you Jules? Julie looks up and pauses before shaking her head, shy but discontent at the same time. COUNSELOR Hmm okay. Anything interesting during the weekend? JULIE None. Ryan looks at her with a little smirk of awkwardness. COUNSELOR Alright then, by the end of today find a partner. Someone you feel comfortable sharing your thoughts with. 2. EXT. FIELD AND COURTYARD - DAY (Present) Julie sits among the fences on the field alone, stares outward. Other juveniles separated from her but she likes it that way. Various background noises of chatters. After a moment she caught him looking at her as he walks towards her. RYAN Hey! You were in that session too. JULIE Yea, what do you want? Ryan smiles, looks down and up again. He thought for a few seconds. RYAN Partner up. JULIE As if! RYAN What’s with you and sharing? Julie stood still with crossed arms and looks away.

  • ABSTRACT Stereotypes of Asians and Asian Americans in the U.S. Media
    ABSTRACT Stereotypes of Asians and Asian Americans in the U.S. Media: Appearance, Disappearance, and Assimilation Yueqin Yang, M.A. Mentor: Douglas R. Ferdon, Jr., Ph.D. This thesis commits to highlighting major stereotypes concerning Asians and Asian Americans found in the U.S. media, the “Yellow Peril,” the perpetual foreigner, the model minority, and problematic representations of gender and sexuality. In the U.S. media, Asians and Asian Americans are greatly underrepresented. Acting roles that are granted to them in television series, films, and shows usually consist of stereotyped characters. It is unacceptable to socialize such stereotypes, for the media play a significant role of education and social networking which help people understand themselves and their relation with others. Within the limited pages of the thesis, I devote to exploring such labels as the “Yellow Peril,” perpetual foreigner, the model minority, the emasculated Asian male and the hyper-sexualized Asian female in the U.S. media. In doing so I hope to promote awareness of such typecasts by white dominant culture and society to ethnic minorities in the U.S. Stereotypes of Asians and Asian Americans in the U.S. Media: Appearance, Disappearance, and Assimilation by Yueqin Yang, B.A. A Thesis Approved by the Department of American Studies ___________________________________ Douglas R.

Storey Andrew K. Block Alison M. Crane Jessica Sandoval December 2007 Introduction n Virginia, if your child is at least 14 years old and is charged with certain serious felonies, he or she may be prosecuted in the adult Icriminal court system, a process called juvenile transfer. Upon transfer to adult court, your child will be treated as an adult in the court. Transfer brings a different set of rights, restrictions and proce- dures than in the juvenile system. If you think this sounds serious, you’re right—the adult court Special thanks and appreciation to the fol- and adult prison systems are no place for children. Youths who are lowing for their support of this endeavor: tried and sentenced in the adult system live their daily lives among adult criminals, and are more likely to become repeat offenders than children placed in the juvenile system. While not perfect, the juvenile justice system strives to provide kids with treatment and rehabilitation. Parents of children involved in the courts who The juvenile system offers educational and mental health services suit- advised us on the content and format of the ed to a child’s age and experience—these are often scarce in the adult prison system.

The Dalliance of Eagles by Walt Whitman Skirting the river road, (my forenoon walk, my rest,) Skyward in air a sudden muffled sound, the dalliance of the eagles, The rushing amorous contact high in space together, The clinching interlocking claws, a living, fierce, gyrating wheel, Four beating wings, two beaks, a swirling mass tight grappling, In tumbling turning clustering loops, straight downward falling, Till o’er the river pois’d, the twain yet one, a moment’s lull, A motionless still balance in the air, then parting, talons loosing, Upward again on slow-firm pinions slanting, their separate diverse flight, She hers, he his, pursuing. f The Eagle Isaiah 40:31 by Edwin Curran KJV The dome of heaven is thy house But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their Bird of the mighty wing, strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they The silver stars are as thy boughs shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not Around thee circling. faint. f Thy perch is on the eaves of heaven Thy white throne all the skies Thou art like lightning driven Flashing over paradise! f 1 The Eagle by Isaac McLellan (1806-1899) Monarch of the realms supernal, Thou wingest where a tropic sky Ranger of the land and sea, Bendeth its celestial dome, Symbol of the Grand Republic, Where sparkling waters greet the eye, Who so noble and so free? And gentlest breezes fan the foam; Thine the boundless fields of either, Where spicy breath from groves of palm, Heaven’s unfathom’d depths are thine; Laden with aromatic balm, Far beyond our human vision, Blows ever, mingled with perfume On thy vans the sunbeams shine.

Each state‘s relative share of these programs is described. The geographic themes, patterns, and images from these programs are analyzed, with an emphasis on identity in five American regions: the Mid-Atlantic, New England, the Midwest, the South, and the West. The dissertation concludes with a comparison of television‘s senses of place to those described in previous studies of regional identity. iii For Sue iv CONTENTS List of Tables vi Acknowledgments vii 1.
