Bridging the gap between high school writing expectations and college writing expectations through an understanding of composition pedagogies, 2011
Item — Call number MU Thesis Sar
Identifier: b4482635
Introduction
High school students are often placed into remedial writing courses when they enter college. They feel confused when they find that they failed their placement test. These students are under the assumption that because they passed the state mandated language arts test in high school, they must be good writers. They are disheartened by their remedial class placement, which makes them angry. They have every right to feel this way. There is a clear disconnect between high school composition...

Making me sick : the rhetoric of pharmaceutical marketing, 2012
Item — Call number MU Thesis Mac
Identifier: b5596273
Abstract
Pharmaceutical direct to consumer (DTC) advertising has become pervasive in the United States, inundating the end consumer with messages meant to increase drug sales. This paper uses Kenneth Burke's theory of Dramatism to explore the rhetorical tropes utilzed to market Viagara and (Be)Yaz as well as the diseases they combat: erectile dysfunction and Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder. Additional weight is given to analysis of the DSM as a rhetorical document, and the co-opting of clinical...

Materialism, commercials and rhetoric : the production of superficial happiness, 2014
Item — Call number MU Thesis Pla
Identifier: b7607921
Introduction [excerpt]
An existential shift appears to be occurring, one that moves people away from melancholia in search of "authentic" happiness. Yet, few of us actually achieve genuine happiness and settle for superficiality that we either accept or fallaciously believe is true happiness (Wilson 5). The purpose of this paper is to explore the various rhetorical figures found in adverstisements as the vehicle to piety (the tenor), which, in turn, results in an action/behavior. This is important to...

Item — Call number MU Thesis Tic
Identifier: b7607923
Introduction [excerpt]
Elizabeth Bowen's World War II novel, The Heat of the Day, is one of the most nuanced and engaging works to emerge from the bombs and rubble of the Blitz. From September of 1940 through May of 1941 Great Britain faced nightly air raids, resulting in thousands of tons of explosives dropped, a million damaged or destroyed homes, and over a hundred thousand civilian casualties. While the majority of the damage was contained to these nine months, V1 and V2...

Reading reality in House of Leaves, 2013
Item — Call number MU Thesis Rin
Identifier: b7607920
Abstract
House of Leaves by Mark Z. Danielewski is a text unlike any other. Its immediate appearance, impossible to distinguish from its content, directs the narrative. It contains several embedded narrative layers, all of which occasionally overlap and collapse upon each other as the text deliberately negates all of its narratives in turn. The readability of this text cannot be taken for granted. In order to glean any sort of plot from ...
