Scaled experimental models of gravitational collapse: analysis of structures formed during creation and retreat of erosional scarps
No full textThis thesis presents the results of scaled experimental models of gravitational collapse, the non-catastrophic failure of an oversteepened cliff. The main modeling material is wet clay, which simulates typical lithified, upper-crustal rocks; the nature-to-model scaling factor for size is ~105. Silicone polymer in one model simulates a highly ductile layer (e.g., salt). In all models, scarp creation involves gradual downcutting along a vertical surface. In the standard model (6 cm of clay with a density of 1.60 g/cm3), faults lengthen and link to form a main normal fault that dips towards and strikes parallel to the erosional scarp; the zone of deformation is narrow. Cross sections of the standard model show that the main fault is listric, most minor faults are listric and dip toward the erosional scarp, shallow layers dip toward the scarp whereas deep layers dip away from the scarp, and the base of the scarp bows out. Fault-heave analyses show that differential iii extension (increasing with depth and with proximity to the erosional scarp) accounts for these features. Geometric models of listric faults do not incorporate differential extension, and thus do not predict the layer geometries observed in the standard model. Models with stronger (denser) clay require taller scarp heights to initiate gravitational collapse. In the model with silicone polymer, deformation (conjugate faults and grabens) is distributed over a larger area compared to the standard model. Faults that form during scarp retreat (lateral removal of clay) evolve similarly to faults formed during scarp creation. A preliminary model with a curved erosional scarp yields a deformation zone that closely parallels the scarp. The Statfjord field (Norway), the Sirikit field (Thailand), and the Fairy Dell sea cliffs (Dorset, England) share some similarities with the standard model: listric faults that strike parallel to and dip towards the erosional scarp and layers rotated away from the erosional scarp; however, they do not have layers rotated toward the erosional scarp. Deformation in Canyonlands National Park is similar to that in the model with silicone polymer: conjugate faults and grabens are related to flow of a ductile unit toward the erosional scarp.M.S.includes bibliographical referencesIncludes abstractby Emily Rose Poorvi

MISS EMILY’S UNFULFILLMENT OF LOVE IN WILLIAM FAULKNER’S A ROSE FOR EMILY
No full textA Rose for Emily is a short story written by William Faulkner. The short
story is partly based on the author’s experience. Mostly, this short story tells
about Miss Emily as the main character who can not fulfill her love. The
purposes of writing this thesis are, first, to give clear information about the
meaning of love according to Miss Emily, second is the effect of unfulfillment of
love by the main character that makes her do the abnormal behavior, and the last
is the relation between the author as the creator of literary work and his work A
Rose for Emily.
In addition, this thesis applies the theory of Motivation and Personality
by Abraham H. Maslow and theory of Eros and Thanatos by Sigmund Freud.
This thesis applies the pyramid of Hierarchy of needs in the theory of motivation
and personality by Abraham H. Maslow, begins with physiological needs,
safety needs, belongingness and love needs, self-esteem needs, and ended by
self- actualization needs. Besides, the theory of Eros and Thanatos by Sigmund
Freud is used as the supporting theory. The method used in this thesis is
documentary method, that is a method in collecting data by using written
materials as a basis for the research. It can be very useful techniques for
collecting data in which the records of the previous research and the material are
considered as the source of particular topic. The analysis begins with the
meaning of love according to Miss Emily in her life, continued with the effect of
the unfulfillment of love until she kills Baron and keeps the corpse with her for a
lifetime and it has the relation between the author’s life and his work. As known
that the psychology of literature is the study about the authors’s life who puts his
idea, experience, and creativity into a literary work. The general conclusion is
Miss Emily as a common woman who needs love in her life and decides to kill Baron and keeps his corpse for lifetime to prove that she is able to have a
partner in her life, eventhough in an unusual way

G.K. Chesterton, Charles Dickens
The twentieth and twenty-first centuries have continued the quest, so aptly described by G. K. Chesterton in 1906, to ‘find’ Charles Dickens and recapture the characteristically Dickensian. From research attempting to classify and categorise the nature of his popularity to a century of film adaptations, Dickens’s legacy encompasses an array of conventional and innovative forms.
Dickens After Dickens includes chapters from rising and leading scholars in the field, offering creative and varied discussion of the continued and evolving influence of Dickens and the nature of his legacy across the 19th, 20th and 21st centuries. Its chapters show the surprising resonances that Dickens has had and continues to have, arguing that the author’s impact can be seen in mainstream cultural phenomena such as HBO’s TV series The Wire and Donna Tartt’s novel The Goldfinch, as well as in diverse areas such as Norwegian literature, video games and neo-Victorian fiction. It discusses Dickens as a biographical figure, an intertextual moment, and a medium through which to explore contemporary concerns around gender and representation.
The new research represented in this book brings together a range of methodologies, approaches and sources, offering an accessible and engaging re-evaluation that will be of interest to scholars of Dickens, Victorian fiction, adaptation, and cultural history, and to teachers, students, and general readers interested in the ways in which we continue to read and be influenced by the author’s work.
This collection is edited by Dr Emily Bell (Loughborough University) with a Foreword by Professor Juliet John (Royal Holloway, University of London), author of Dickens and Mass Culture (OUP). Dr Bell is a board member for the Oxford Dickens series and an editor for the Dickens Letters Project. She also acted as the first Communications Committee Chair of the international Dickens Society, and has published on Dickens, life writing and commemoration.

The use of language features of male and female authors in two short stories The Yellow Wallpaper and A Rose for Emily
No full textENGLISH:
Many critics believe that men and women have different life experiences, the writing of male and female authors will differ, as well. Some people believe that male authors are not able to write accurately from female perspective or present feminist ideals. The majority of the time, life from the female point of view is portrayed literature by women authors but male authors have also taken on the female perspective. When writing about women, it is possible that authors will describe them differently depending on gender, language, and culture. This research is an attempt to answer two research questions: (1) what are the types of language features used by male and female authors in short stories The Yellow Wallpaper and A Rose for Emily. (2) What are the differences between male and female authors in language features in short stories The Yellow Wallpaper and A Rose for Emily. To answer the research question, the research analysis & data based on Sociolinguistics of Men and Women's language representation proposed by Robin Lakoff theory.
Methodologically, the researcher uses descriptive qualitative as the research design. The data were analyzed by: (1) the data were classified based on the linguistic features theory by Lakoff, (2) the researcher analyzed the data based on ten categories of women's language and four categories of men’s language, (3) the researcher described and explained the context of the selected data which are in the form of word, statements or phrases.
Based on the analysis, the researcher concludes that there are two language features from four men’s language feature used by male author in A Rose for Emily short story, those are Interruptions and Commands. Meanwhile, there are three language features from ten women’s language feature used by female author in The Yellow Wallpaper, those Lexical Hedges, Intensifier and Empty Adjective.
Finally, based on the findings mentioned above, the researcher suggests the next researchers suggest the next researcher of the theories such as Deborah Tannen (1975) and Robin Lakoff {1975} of the differences between male and female language to provide deep information about gender differences to strengthen Lakoff’s theory.

Banyak pengkritik percaya bahwa pria dan wanita memiliki pengalaman hidup yang berbeda, penulisan penulis pria dan wanita akan berbeda juga. Beberapa orang percaya bahwa penulis laki-laki tidak bisa menulis secara akurat dari perspektif perempuan atau cita-cita kaum feminis saat ini. Sebagian sepanjang waktu, kehidupan dari sudut pandang perempuan digambarkan sastra oleh penulis perempuan, tetapi penulis laki-laki juga telah mengambil pada perspektif penulis perempuan. Ketika menulis tentang perempuan, ada kemungkinan bahwa penulis akan menjelaskan secara berbeda tergantung pada jenis kelamin, bahasa, dan budaya.Penelitian ini merupakan upaya untuk menjawab dua pertanyaan penelitian: (1) apa saja jenis fitur bahasa yang digunakan oleh penulis penulis laki-laki dan perempuan dalam cerita pendek The Yellow Wallpaper dan A Rose for Emily. (2) Apa perbedaan antara penulis laki-laki dan perempuan penulis dalam fitur bahasa dalam cerita pendek The Yellow Wallpaper dan A Rose for Emily. Untuk menjawab pertanyaan penelitian, analisis penelitian & data berdasarkan Sosiolinguistik Pria dan representasi bahasa Perempuan yang diusulkan oleh teori Robin Lakoff.
Secara metodologis, peneliti menggunakan deskriptif kualitatif dengan desain penelitian. Data dianalisis dengan: (1) data yang diklasifikasikan berdasarkan linguistik fitur teori oleh Lakoff, (2) peneliti menganalisis data berdasarkan sepuluh kategori bahasa perempuan dan empat kategori bahasa laki-laki, (3) peneliti menggambarkan dan menjelaskan konteks data yang dipilih yang berupa kata, pernyataan atau frase.
Berdasarkan hasil analisis, peneliti menyimpulkan bahwa ada dua fitur bahasa dari fitur bahasa empat laki-laki yang digunakan oleh penulis penulis laki-laki di cerita pendek A Rose for Emily, yaitu Interupsi dan Perintah. Sementara itu, ada tiga fitur bahasa dari fitur bahasa sepuluh perempuan yang digunakan oleh penulis perempuan di The Yellow Wallpaper, yaitu leksikal Hedges, Intensifier dan Adjective Empty.
Akhirnya, berdasarkan temuan tersebut di atas, peneliti menyarankan para peneliti berikutnya supaya peneliti selanjutnya menggunakan teori seperti Deborah Tannen (1975) dan Robin Lakoff {1975} dari perbedaan antara bahasa penulis laki-laki dan perempuan untuk memberikan informasi mendalam tentang perbedaan gender untuk memperkuat teori Lakoff ini
The Philosophy of Life Reflected in The Poetry of Emily Jane Bronte and Christina Georgina Rossetti
No full textThe writer of this thesis became interested in the poetry of Christina Georgina Rossetti through the study of The Blessed Damozel,” a poem by her brother Dante Gabriel. After receiving some helpful suggestions from her adviser, the writer decided to make a rather thorough and careful study of Miss Rossetti\u27s poems. In the meantime, the adviser, Dr. Myrta E. McGinnis, head of the English Department, selected Dr. Clarice Short as director and guide for the study. Dr. Clarice Short suggested that the writer make an additional study of the poetry of Emily Jane Bronte to ascertain likenesses and unlikeness in the two poets, thereby making it a comparative study. After utilizing every available source in Forsyth Library to gain knowledge about the two poets and after a rapid reading of the poems of these two women, the writer decided upon making a comparative study of the religion or philosophy of life of Emily Jane Bronte and Christina Georgina Rossetti through the medium of their literary works. In pursuing this study, the author read practically all the poems of Emily Jane Bronte and Christina Georgina Rossetti. During a rapid reading of the poems, she selected for a more detailed and thorough study those poems of each poet which seemed to be pertinent to and illustrative of the proposed problem. As far as the writer could learn, there are not many graduate students who have written theses on these two poets. In consulting the lists of theses available in Forsyth Library, the author found that Miss Wilhelmina Rose Schreiner wrote a thesis in 1937 entitled : The Criticism of Emily Bronte, 11 and Miss Mary Louise McCluskey on Christina G. Rossetti: The Development of her Character and its Effect on her Poetry in 1941. Both of these studies were made at the University of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. In 1931, Miss Eleanor Walter Thomas wrote a doctoral dissertation: Christina Rossetti at Columbia University

No full textOriginal Sin: A New Play and Poetry Collection
No full textabstract: Original Sin is a new play and poetry collection that tells the stories of mythological women and femmes, including Eve, Niobe, Queen Isis, Hera, Athena, Demeter, Ganymede, and Persephone. The words are comprised of the monologues of living women interviewed specifically for the purposes of this project, fighting to "take their stories back" from the monolithic male voices which have held them fast. These words were converted into a free verse poetic series of monologues intended to be presented on the stage. At its core, Original Sin is about the relationship between hope and loss, and how empowerment is born from their collision. Original Sin was first written, directed and staged by Emily Adams at Binary Theatre Company in Tempe, Arizona. The first production opened at the Prism Space on February 23rd, 2018
