Stephanie Williams, Shirley Xiao, and Christian Nøkkentved
No full textTwo members of the class of 2010, Stephanie Williams and Shirley Xiao, reflect on why they came to IMSA. Williams says she was bored at her home school, and she had learned about IMSA through one of its outreach programs. Xiao says she knew many people in her peer group who had applied and then her mom encouraged her to apply. Williams\u27s first impression of the school was being confused by the maze of hallways when she toured before coming as a student. Among her early memories as a student are getting to know the other students and the challenge of the classes. Xiao doesn\u27t recall a first impression other than being relieved to live away from home. She says while there was a learning curve, it wasn\u27t as steep for her as it could\u27ve been, especially compared to her experience of moving to the US from China at age ten. She also recalls making friends quickly, including Xiao - they met in math class and were roommates for two years. In terms of extracurricular activities, Williams took part in Kids Institute programs and joined the bowling team, while Xiao was in an origami club and played flute in band. Both were active in their residence hall as well.
In classes, they talk about the challenge of the math curriculum. They would have problem set parties to work in a group to complete the math problem sets. They reflect on how the type of learning they did at IMSA - in history as well as in math and science - helped them in college. Williams\u27s favorite class was German, though she also enjoyed choir and the challenging music they learned. Xiao\u27s favorite class was molecular and cellular biology and she recalls the long paper she wrote for it. They briefly discuss their engagement in SIR projects. They reflect on overall takeaways from their IMSA experience, which include doing research and writing, working in groups as well as independently, time management, living with other people, and of course many good friends and memories. They end by discussing all the ways IMSA prepared them for college, not only academically.

Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902
No full textIn Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.

Short Story by Stephanie Williams – Make Hell Your Home
No full textIn our empty house, I sit with a cup of hot chocolate that dad hides in the highest cabinet in the kitchen. I added only two teaspoons because I am scared he’d notice I took some without his permission. Winter hasn’t given way for spring, so I curl up in bed with Jodi Picoult’s The Tenth Circle. The illusion of hell fascinates me. The protagonist’s mother, Laura Stone, is a college lecturer who teaches Dante’s Inferno, in which the ultimate punishment is not fire but eternal ice; the inability to move; frozen forever
