An informed and ignorant readership : the contradictions of creative nonfiction

Creator:

Abstract:

Creative nonfiction is a genre replete with contradictions--the name itself shows that: nonfiction writing is true and factual, but creative writing is imaginative and inventive. Because of fundamental contradictions like this, there is no standardized or even most common definition of the genre. This creates confusion for both critics and...

Fostering a Multidimensional, Metacognitive Landscape Through Rhetorical Narrative Analysis

Creator:

Breeden, Regan

Abstract:

Close reading has long been favored as an interpretative framework within those classrooms commonly united under the umbrella of English studies.

Public Proof : Science Communication, Weak Theory, and the Nonrational

Creator:

Snyder, Wesley M.

Abstract:

A 2014 Pew Research poll revealed large gaps between public opinion and scientific opinion over environmental and biomedical issues (Funk and Rainie).

Abstract:

This thesis argues for significant correlations in the politics of representation of Chinatown and mother-daughter relationships in two literary texts by Maxine Hong Kingston and Fae Myenne Ng.
