“Alone” is a post-apocalyptic horror fiction piece that I am working on. It is a novella with the hopes of becoming a full-length story in the future. 目前正在进行中. The story focuses on a young man named Isaac and his struggle surviving in a fallen Earth. He must endure several conflicts and challenges that the new world has left for him when all of his friends and family have left him. The extinction of humans has caused nature to take back what 它是 in new horrifying ways. Isaac will have to make tough choices deciding what is worth fighting for when he is all alone.

The poems in this original reading present two dimensions: one being the literal experimentation of language, and the other being the social impact of language in everyday life. In a literal sense, I choreograph diction, syntax, and the physical structure of the poems. 表达语言的影响, 我使用声音的文学手段, 化身, 和并置. 有了这些元素, I am exploring relationships between the abstraction of words and the physicality of human life as a code through my experiences. ”Living in Language” represents the hold that language has on me, and this concept that language comes from experiences with others as well as inner thoughts, 并且控制着我们所有人.

This fictional piece is a short story that follows the childhood of a young girl with a vivid imagination suppressed and scrutinized by biased perceptions of adult figures in her life. 从作者自己的生活中取材, this piece showcases an issue felt by many children of unsupportive parents but takes it a step further to show how one’s talent can be misunderstood and manipulated. This piece employs thematic patterning to help amplify the main character’s recurring attempts to individualize herself. 为了演示, the author will give a brief introduction of the story to address its purpose and meaning, followed by a reading of the full text as 它是 only 1500 words.

地球只有一个. So, 它是 not too far of a stretch to believe that every living being, 每一个人, 每一个鱼, 哺乳动物, 蜥蜴, and willow tree carries and expels energy that can affect the world in unimaginable ways. 我们都是相互联系的, and therefore one person’s life may alter or reflect off another’s without even knowing. I have always been fascinated with this idea that the choices I make in life are affecting the world around me in ways I will never know in my lifetime- as if the world is one giant lake and we are all tossing our pebbles in at the same time, our ripples expanding and blending together to the point where untangling them seems impossible. This excerpt I will be reading for 学生展示 is from a collection of short stories that I have been working on all spring. Each story follows one individual and is completely whole on its own but the connections between stories within the collection add another layer. They reflect and refract off of each other to produce a new meaning: how all of our breaths are weaved together.

专场7C -口头报告

For more than seven centuries the Ancestral Puebloan people, 或者外星档案, flourished in the desert climate of the Four Corners Region. 他们在查科峡谷建造了大普韦布洛建筑群, 梅萨维德国家公园, 雪松台面, 还有很多其他地方. 然而, only a few decades after achieving the pinnacle of their most significant accomplishments, 他们抛弃了长期居住的家园. 一个世纪以来, 考古学家, anthropologists and researchers have argued the causes for this departure, 然而，仍有许多争议. 这个口头研究报告考察了各种理论, 从建制派到异类, aimed at explaining the exodus of an elaborate agriculture society from their long-occupied homeland.

This piece focuses on the roles of Emilia and Desdemona in Shakespeare’s play, Othello. In a society where women were governed by the goddess/ whore dichotomy Emilia and Desdemona recognized the social constructs placed on them and in order to break free both sought a path to empowerment through her sexuality and attempting to occupy a liminal space between the two extremes.
