No full textThomas Watt was born in Aberdeen, Scotland to parents Gordon and Helen Watt on April 1, 1899. He immigrated to Canada with his parents and was raised in Lethbridge, Alberta with brothers Gordon, William, James and Alexander. As a teenager, he worked as a teamster.
On September 1, 1915 Thomas Watt enlisted with the 39th Battery 10th Brigade, Canadian Field Artillery CEF in Calgary, Alberta, just months after his 16th birthday. He had previously tried to enlist with the 20th Battery CFA out of Lethbridge, but had been refused because he did not meet the minimum age requirement. Like many young men at this time he lied about his age in order to join the war effort. His 18 year old brother Gordon Watt also signed up with the 39th Battery 10th Brigade. He arrived in England on March 13, 1916 and remained in England until embarking for France on July 13, 1916. Driver Watt remained at the front lines with the 39th Battery 10th Brigade for over two years and saw action at several key battles including the Somme, Vimy Ridge, Hill 70, Passchendaele and Amiens.
On August 29, 1918 Dvr Watt was killed in action near Etaples in France. He was laid to rest at Faubourg D’Amiens Cemetery near Arras. Thomas Watt was awarded the Victory Medal and the British War Medal. His mother, Helen, was presented with the Memorial Cross and death plaque in honour of her son
READING AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF HELEN KELLER’S THE STORY OF MY LIFE
Get PDFMembaca autobiografi adalah membaca suatu peristiwa, memori dan kenangan yang dituliskan oleh pengarang tentang dirinya sendiri. Persitiwa- peristiwa tersebut lebih banyak mengabarkan tentang sebuah kebenaran subjektif daripada fakta yang sebenarnya. Itu dikarenakan pengarang sebagai subjek yang membaca masa lalunya menjadi tokoh utama dalam autobiografi. Hal ini dapat dikaji dan dibuktikan melalui beberapa aspek di dalam autobiografi.
Ruang lingkup dari tulisan ini adalah bagaimana narrator dalam menarasikan cerita dapat membangun wacana dan berbicara langsung dengan narratee. Pengalaman- pengalaman yang diceritakan oleh narrator, identitas yang ditampilkan dan juga peran editor di dalam pembuatan autobiografi. Adapun tujuan dari tulisan ini adalah untuk mengimplementasikan teori Reading Autobiography yang digunakan untuk menganalisis The Story of My Life yang merupakan autobiografi dari Helen Keller.
Metode yang digunakan dalam tulisan ini adalah metode penelitian kepustakaan dan metode pendekatan teori membaca autobiografi. Metode yang pertama digunakan untuk mengumpul data dan informasi dari sumber-sumber kepustakaan yang mendukung pembahasan. Metode yang kedua digunakan sebagai acuan utama dalam menganalisis aspek yang dominan dalam autobiografi.
Hasil dari analisis menunjukkan bahwa teknik penceritaan yang digunakan oleh pengarang sangat mengesankan, baik dalam segi penceritaan “aku”, ideologi maupun konsep yang dimiliki banyak memproyeksikan tokoh sebagai tokoh yang sempurna secara fisik. Begitu juga pengalaman yang dialami tokoh sengaja dipilihkan pengalaman yang istimewa
Selain itu, identitas yang ditampilkan oleh pengarang bertujuan mengkonstruksikan kesan dirinya seabagai pribadi yang baik kepada pembaca. Di samping itu, adanya peran John Macy sebagai editor di dalam pembuatan autobiografi adalah untuk kepentingan sosial. Hal ini dikarenakan John Macy membantu memproyeksikan Helen Keller sebagai tokoh utama yang hampir sempurna walau dengan keterbatasan fisik. Dia juga mampu membantu Helen dalam mengklarifikasi isu negatif yang berkembang pada masa itu

Mary Helen is the author of one of the leading textbooks in the field of long-term care, Dimensions of Long-Term Care: An Introduction, and is a recognized leader in long-term care education nationally. In this podcast I talk with Mary Helen about her journey from an early interest in political science and international affairs to discovering the nascent field of health economics in the 80’s, and her transition to an interest in long-term care as a result of having to care for both her father and father-in-law when they suffered from debilitating terminal illnesses. Mary Helen makes a passionate case for long-term care, pointing out the economic opportunities for entrepreneurs, as well as young people looking for a meaningful and well compensated career. I hope you enjoy listening to Mary Helen’s story, and if you find it valuable, won’t you leave us feedback on iTunes, Stitcher, Spotify, or wherever you may be accessing this recording.
