Speech attributes of Thomas Starr King
No full textSuspended in the State Capitol at Sacramento is a portrait of a man under whose name appears the following inscription, The man whose matchless oratory saved California to the Union . The same name identifies a statue standing in the Congressional Hall of Fame, placed there by the State of California in memory of one of two Californians most illustrious for their historic renown . The life and speeches of a man who achieved such renown and who earned such an immortal epitaph to his eloquence should be worthy of study by a speech student. The purpose of this thesis is to present such a study of the speech attributes of Thomas Starr King. The study is in two parts: first, a Background Synopsis, or biographical precis, which highlights Starr King\u27s speech training, intrinsic worth, speeches, setting and success; and secondly, a Speech Commentary on Starr King\u27s speech preparation, presentation, arrangement, argument and style. Starr King\u27s vari-form speeches and permeating personality defy isolated period treatment. Therefore, while a California viewpoint is maintained, this study brings Starr King\u27s whole life accomplishments into range
Jack Alive / Martin Dead : The Location of the "Author" in Jack London\u27s Martin Eden

Critics have often taken the unbalanced plot and the lack of ironic distance between narrator and character in Martin Eden as the technical weakness of London, but this paper argues that the achievement of this novel owes a great deal to the attachment of London to Martin. The unbalanced structure is a necessary product of the severe struggle of the author to kill his romantic alter ego. // Martin, who aspires to win Ruth Morse, tries to cross class boundaries by making a career of a writer. Even after realizing the emptiness of Ruth, who turns out to be nothing but a typical figure of the bourgeoisie, he somehow persists in loving her. The notion underlying here is that, for Martin, love, career and art are fundamentally inseparable. He objects to the aestheteʼs view of Brissenden on account of his separation of art from career. Martinʼs identity and life consist only in the triunity of love/career/art; the alternative is the repudiation of life. Thus, the unnatural delay of his disappointment in love can be regarded as Londonʼs strategy to set the suicide of Martin as the necessary consequence of the story. // By finishing the story and killing Martin, London finally detaches himself from Martin, reconstructs his self, and, unlike Martin, survives as a professional writer. In this sense, Martin Eden is a story about “writerʼs self-reconstruction.
