“The Knitting Women in Conrad’s ‘Heart of Darkness”
The women follow a certain type of feminism that many Conradian scholars don’t acknowledge. The thesis argues that while their part is small, the knitting women have a profound impact on the overall idea of the novella.

"Faith Alone"
This is the second half of chapter six from my novel, "Faith Alone". The main character Seth, has just encountered two vampires in a costume shop where his sister, Hannah, was picking out something two days before Halloween. A newcomer to his small school, Jen, was also in the store. She warned him about the vampires and even helped him repel the vampires. This is the conversation that follows immediately afterward in a restaurant far away from the initial brawl.

"Through the Eyes of Another"
Series of monologues that portray people in different situations. I believe part of learning about others and their actions is putting yourself in their shoes. Monologues require me to look at situations from different points of view. To do a monologues I must dig deep to find motive, obstacles, and what triggers emotion. Monologues help me to understand people better, and I hope by preforming for others they to learn something as well through the eyes of another.

“Telphone" (Lady Gaga)

Michelle Meyer
“Downward Spiral of Self Discovery”
The title of my paper is "The Downward Spiral of Self Discovery" It compares three works of fiction by Charlotte Gilman, Zora Huston, and Joyce Oates. The theme of my paper is self discovery among the authors. I analyze previously unacceptable topics such as women's rights, victimization, and the norms of women during the time these works were written. I analyze the authors' sense of self and the downward psychological spiral each author goes through in the process of self discovery, which ultimately costs them their individual identities.
