Lesbian, gay, and queer criticism address issues of oppression related to both sexism and heterosexism. Queer theory defines sexuality as fluid and dynamic, exceeding definitions based on biological sex or gender roles. When analyzing works, lesbian, gay, and queer critics may consider textual cues suggesting homoeroticism and how works contribute to understanding queer experiences. Questions address how politics and experiences are portrayed, and how works disrupt binaries around sexuality and gender.
Popular literature that young adults are readingVishal Gaurav
Young adult literature consists of books written for people between ages 13-18, whether specifically published for that age group or written for adults but popular among teens. It covers a wide variety of topics rather than just abstract ideas, and includes many genres such as comedy, drama, romance, and satire. Reading young adult literature can influence teens' attitudes, values, and behavior by allowing them to emotionally respond to situations in stories and learn lessons about causes and consequences, though they may be less likely to rationally consider outcomes. Psychological research shows that literary narratives can transport readers and affect their real-world judgments through the experiences of characters.
This thesis analyzes the popularity and success of the first four Harry Potter books by J.K. Rowling. It examines their publication history, marketing strategies, and how they draw from different literary genres like the school story, epic/romance, and modern fantasy. The thesis argues that Rowling's unique blending of these genres through her use of morality and values contributes to the books' complexity and widespread appeal to both children and adults. It aims to understand why the Harry Potter series has become such a global phenomenon.
This document provides the prompt and guidelines for a research paper on trickster characters. Students are asked to analyze whether modern characters meet the criteria to be considered tricksters. They must also address whether tricksters relate to gender and ethnicity, and if they help people understand themselves. The paper must be 5-7 pages, cite at least 3 new secondary sources, and meet formatting requirements. Students are provided tips on best practices like using examples and metaphors, and traps to avoid like relying on too many sources or failing to support their argument. They are given potential starting points to consider definitions of tricksters and trickster tales.
The document provides an agenda for an upcoming class that includes making up or retaking a vocab exam, presentations on term lists and a discussion on trickster characters, outlining an essay, assessing homework responses, and film viewing. It also lists due dates for essay revisions, a self-assessment, and a final research paper. The document includes definitions and explanations of terms related to gender and sexuality.

Pathways to Possibilities: Discovering Deaf CharactersSharon Pajka
This document summarizes a research study on the portrayal and perception of deaf characters in adolescent literature. The study analyzed 6 books with deaf main characters, half written by deaf authors and half by hearing authors. It assessed how deafness was portrayed and surveyed deaf, hearing, and culturally familiar readers on their perceptions. The study found that hearing authors generally portrayed deaf characters from a cultural perspective while deaf authors included more pathological aspects. Readers overall preferred books by hearing authors and perceived culturally deaf male characters most positively. The study aims to increase awareness of this literature genre.
This document summarizes a content analysis of 33 young adult gothic and horror novels published between 2003 and 2013. It finds that on average, novels featured 5 common gothic elements and supernatural beings. Earlier novels tended to have male protagonists and authors, while later novels saw more female authors and protagonists, as well as an increase in romantic storylines. Novels after 2008 received more awards and attention. Themes of self-acceptance and facing fears remained popular. Librarians are encouraged to stay aware of trends in the evolving genre to better appeal to teens' interests.
This document provides an overview and definitions of key concepts in lesbian, gay, queer, and feminist criticism. It discusses how lesbian criticism addresses issues of both sexism and heterosexism.

The document also defines common textual signs that may indicate homoerotic or queer readings, such as homosocial bonding and same-sex doubles. It concludes by stating that lesbian, gay, and queer criticism rely on analyzing patterns or preponderances of these textual cues.

It provides an overview of the presenter's research study on portrayals of deaf characters by deaf and hearing authors.

Today's Young Adult Literature: Bridges to the ClassicsLaura Nicosia
This is a short introductory presentation made to K-12 Language Arts and English teachers during a workshop presentation June 2009 at Montclair State University. My presentation dealt with using popular YA literature as a bridge to canonical, classic literatures.
The document defines young adults as those aged 11-18, and young adult literature as written works marketed toward that age group. It discusses the emergence of important works in the late 1960s/early 1970s and precursors in the mid-19th century. Characteristics of postmodern young adult literature are described, including eclecticism, metafiction, and crossover novels. Benefits of reading for young adults are provided. Factors influencing reading interests and knowing major authors are outlined. Awards for young adult literature are listed, along with publications reviewing the genre. Principles for engaging young adult readers are presented, along with approaches to literary criticism.
This document provides a pathfinder to help young adults find engaging books to read. It begins by exploring what constitutes young adult literature and discusses various genres. It then offers several resources for finding award-winning and well-reviewed books, including the YALSA website and book review sites. For readers unsure of what to read next, it recommends the reader advisory database What Do I Read Next which can search and recommend similar books based on a reader's interests. The pathfinder aims to equip young readers with tools and information to discover their next enjoyable read.

2015 mala workshop lgbtq young adult literatureMolly Wetta
This document discusses the importance of including LGBTQ+ materials in public libraries. It begins by defining key terms related to sex, gender, and sexuality. It then explains that 1.2-5.6% of adults identify as LGBTQ+, and that many youths recognize their identity in their teens. Studies show LGBTQ+ youth often feel unsafe at school. The document argues that libraries provide a safe space for questioning teens and access to LGBTQ+ literature and resources is crucial for identity development, mental health, fostering acceptance, and ensuring this population is included rather than excluded. It provides statistics on LGBTQ+ representation in YA literature and recommends titles, genres, and resources for readers' advisory.
Young adult literature refers to books written for teenagers that usually have a teenage protagonist dealing with issues relevant to that age group. It is characterized by having fast-paced plots, direct dialogue, and sparse language. While YA literature encompasses a variety of genres and topics, it is generally optimistic or hopeful in tone. Evaluating diversity in YA literature requires considering elements of both uniqueness and universality.
Presentation about The Magic of LiteratureDoha Zallag
This document outlines a presentation on teaching fiction literature using the Harry Potter series as an example. It discusses the benefits of using young adult fiction and fiction literature in classrooms to increase student motivation and interest in reading. It summarizes some of the key points made about the Harry Potter series, including its immense popularity and cultural impact. Critics argue it could negatively influence students, while supporters say it can help develop empathy and tolerance. The document provides recommendations for how teachers can implement lessons and activities based on Harry Potter, such as using ICT technologies, creative writing assignments, and connecting it to other areas of study.
Seraph on the Suwanee, the last novel of Zora Neale Hurston, criticized for deviating from resolving oppression, class, race and gender, shapes a white woman protagonist instead of a black woman protagonist. But actually, it depicts the story of Arvay’s attempts to reject both oppression and the mental submission to oppression just as the oppression and resistance of class and gender are greatly concerned in Hurston’s previous works. Arvay Henson, an oppressed and repressed white woman, motivated by a tenacious belief in her own intrinsic worth and in her rights to individual freedom and social respect, attempts to preserve her integrity through withdrawal, resistance in order to seek her love and her independence as well as her self-discovery. This thesis applies Need Hierarchy Theory proposed by an American psychologist Abraham Maslow to study Arvay’s strategies for meeting her deficiency needs and to analyze her persistent efforts for love as well as the satisfactions of her needs at different levels.
Fanfiction allows fans to freely create new stories using existing characters and worlds from popular books, movies, TV shows and other media. While this creativity can build community and relationships, fanfiction is also often used to indulge in explicit sexual content and erotica. Additionally, the unmonitored review system enables "flaming" where users post hateful comments. However, fanfiction sites also provide tools to filter content and block inappropriate users. With guidelines on labeling content and maturity ratings, the benefits of creative writing and social interaction through fanfiction can be emphasized while curbing its negative aspects.
7th Annual Statewide Professional Conference Madison, WiscSharon Pajka
The document summarizes research on portrayals of deaf characters in adolescent literature. It discusses research questions about whether deaf characters are presented culturally or pathologically, whether readers prefer deaf or hearing authors, and how deaf and hearing readers perceive deaf characters. It then outlines the methodology, including a content analysis of 6 books and surveys of 27 reader participants. Key findings indicate that hearing authors presented deaf characters more culturally while deaf authors included more pathological aspects, and that readers slightly preferred books by hearing authors and perceptions correlated somewhat with cultural content analysis.

Please review the
overview of critical methodologies
(BELOW)
For more information on Critical Methodologies, please read the introduction to the Critical Methodologies
Overview of Critical Methodologies
Imagine 3 pairs of glasses, and each pair of glasses represents a different “lens” through which the wearer of the glasses can view the world. Same world...different view based on the color of the lens.
Critical methodologies (also known as critical approaches) function in the same way. In a nutshell, critical methodologies are different LENSES through which a reader can examine a particular text (short story, poem, play, novel, etc.). Alison Booth and Kelly J. Mays, the editors of our textbook, classify critical approaches into four major categories:
Critical approaches that emphasize the text,
Critical approaches that emphasize the source,
Critical approaches that emphasize the receiver, and
Critical approaches that highlight historical and ideological criticism.
Each major category houses a number of critical approaches.
Emphasis on the Text - This approach limits the consideration of outside elements- author background, social factors, etc.
New Criticism - does not take into consideration source (author) or reader (you)
Structuralism
Poststructuralism
Deconstruction
Narrative Theory
Emphasis on the Source - This approach takes into consideration the author and author’s intention in writing the work.
Biographical Criticism
Example: Lorraine Hansberry’s personally experience fighting restrictive covenants
Example: Toni Morrison’s own journey of racial self-discovery in the South
Psychoanalytic Criticism (Freudian, Jungian and Myth, and Lacanian)
Freudian - our human psyches share similar histories)
Jungian -
the concept of the universal conscious/collective unconscious
universal patterns and forms of human experiences known as “archetypes.”
examples: rebirth story, hero’s quest, doubling, etc.
Northrop Frye - archetypal criticism
Big question: Are there “shared, fundamental truths” that cross the boundaries of race, culture, nationality? Examples - Flood myth
Emphasis on the Receiver -The emphasis of this approach is the way in which the reader “receives,” interprets, and appreciates the text.
Reader-Response Criticism
Historical and Ideological Criticism - This approach takes into consideration the historical and cultural context(s) of a work.
Marxist Criticism
Feminist Criticism
Gender Studies and Queer Theory
African American and Ethnic Literary Studies
New Historicism
Cultural Studies
Postcolonial .

This document provides a summary and analysis of the anthology The (M)other Tongue: Essays in Feminist Psychoanalytic Interpretation. It discusses how psychoanalytic feminist criticism has grown in prominence and brought together unlikely pairs such as feminism and psychoanalysis as well as post-structuralism and American feminist social science. It analyzes how the anthology focuses on the figure of the mother and progresses from discussing father-based Oedipal structures to mother-based pre-Oedipal models. However, it also notes how the conclusion of the anthology's introduction glosses over differences between feminist critical approaches in favor of an inclusive joining, reflecting a tendency for the mother figure to discourage differentiation.

Sample Cover Letter
John Smith
Professor XXXXX
ENGL 200
July 14, 2010
Dear Prof. L-T:
In exploring the theme of murder for the sake of justice in the short stories: “Killing” and “Guests of the Nation,” I was trying to show that the authors of these stories explored the warrant of such action and challenged the reader to form his or her own opinions about them. During the crafting of this essay, I was impressed with my ability to unlock ideas within the text that gave clues to the authors’ motivations. In “Guests of the Nation,” O’Connor has a real personal attachment with the theme because he most likely lived through or knew of situations like this one during his time with the IRA. The real learning of these stories takes place when you realize that the weight of justice is too heavy for ordinary men to bear. Higher authority figures are there for a reason, and although they may not always be 100% effective, they are there to protect societies from both wrongdoing and the fate of trying to personally distribute justice.
Although I fell in love with these stories, the most difficult part that I had in writing this paper was trying to show different perspectives on the same topic. What I learned is that many times the perspective is implied and is not concrete. Of course, what proved difficult also became the greatest strength of the paper. I see the different perspectives of justice as the strongest part of the essay. The idea that justice is a matter of perspective, especially on a person level is universal. However, a higher power (in the form of a judge or jury) is more likely to see justice more clearly and make a fair assessment of how justice should best be fulfilled. If time weren’t an issue, I’d want to continue to develop this aspect of the essay further since a better understanding of the law would enable me to express the idea plainly and intelligently. Too often, I feel that justice is not served and that more people should truly question the law and its decisions when the verdict is unjust.
Since I struggled a bit with legal talk in the paper, I’d ask that my professor examine my content for clarity and comprehension. I’d also hope that she would address my introduction to assure that my opening truly does grab the audience’s attention and keeps it there with a strong thesis. The manuscript follows MLA Style and contains in-text citations and a works cited page.
Sincerely,
John Smith

John T. Matthews writes in his book, The Sound and the Fury: Faulkner and the Lost Cause: "it may seem artificial or even redundant to" discuss "Faulkner's technique" (106). There is no shortage of criticisms regarding William Faulkner's literary style. He brings to literature an opportunity to engage his readers differently than anyone before or after him. Faulkner's style is to have the reader associate with the charac.
it describes the bony anatomy including the femoral head , acetabulum, labrum . also discusses the capsule , ligaments . muscle that act on the hip joint and the range of motion are outlined. factors affecting hip joint stability and weight transmission through the joint are summarized.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems
9
Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

1. Another way of talking
about theme:
Using grounded theory in the
humanities
James Kelley
Mississippi State University – Meridian
MLA 2013
2. A little background
My first (near) use of grounded theory without
ever having heard the term:
“Song, Story, or History: Resisting Claims of a
Coded Message in the African American Spiritual
‘Follow the Drinking Gourd.’” The Journal of
Popular Culture 41.2 (2008)
3. Multiple sources
Multiple sources, including:
• Two episodes on television series: The Fresh
Prince of Bel-Air and Treasure Hunters
• Internet sites for and by educators at the K-12
level (including over 50 lesson plans)
• Internet sites (and an educational video) by
three government agencies: NASA, NSA, NPS
• Published pieces in the academic and popular
presses
4. Theoretical sampling
My method of collecting information resembled the
“theoretical sampling” discussed in Barney Glaser
and Anselm Strauss’ The Discovery of Grounded
Theory: Strategies for Qualitative Research (1967).
•The sampling was purposeful, not random or
rigidly preplanned.
•The number and types of groups were not
determined until the research was completed.
There was “an ongoing inclusion of groups.”
5. Approach to the information
My method of making sense of the information
also resembled their methods. According to
Glaser and Strauss,
•grounded theory requires the “hard study of
much data.”
•grounded theory is the opposite of “logo-
deductive theory.” It is “grounded in” and
“emerges from” the data.
7. Recursive process
Collecting, coding, and analyzing are done
together as much as possible. They blur and
intertwine continuously. One should not
disregard the “fresh analytical idea” that occurs
after the process has begun. The “constant
comparison” of different groups highlights
meaningful similarities and differences.
When does the process end?
8. Example of To Kill a Mockingbird
To Kill a Mockingbird is the single most widely
discussed novel at enotes.com. There are
presently:
6,664 Q&A items for To Kill a Mockingbird
2,848 Q&A items for Lord of the Flies
1,440 Q&A items for 1984
1,340 Q&A items for The Scarlet Letter
1,060 Q&A items for Frankenstein
9. Theme 1: Moral Character
When talking to students about fictional
characters in Lee’s novel, particularly when
talking about Atticus Finch and Bob Ewell, the
teachers frequently move from character
analysis to explicit and implicit statements of
morality. Describing the fictional characters in
the novel becomes a way of talking about moral
character in our world.
10. Theme 2: Life Lessons
When talking to students about the experiences
and changes of the younger characters in the
novel, particularly when talking about Scout and
Jem Finch, the teachers frequently move in their
answers toward explicit and implicit discussions
of identity development, intellectual and social
development, loss of innocence, growing
awareness of hypocrisy and evil in the world,
and other topics related to adolescence.
11. Theme 3: Text and Context
When talking to students about the novel’s
setting and publication date, the teachers touch
briefly on past and present organizations of
race, class, and gender. The novel’s immediate
setting (the town of Maycomb, AL) often
receives detailed treatment in the teachers’
answers, whereas discussions of social
structures in the early 1930s and in the late
1950s are often brief and undeveloped.
12. Bringing the themes together
The teachers’ tendency to focus on unchanging and
universal truths, particularly the central idea of a
young person learning to distinguish between good
and evil – coupled with the tendency to discuss the
novel without reference to the Jim Crow laws of the
period in which the story is set and/or the early
Civil Rights era during which the novel was first
published – transforms the complex novel To Kill a
Mockingbird into a simple and timeless morality
tale.
15. Sample teachers’ posts on
the rose bush
The following two posts can be compared and
contrasted for the following:
•Level of detail
•Discussion of symbolism
•Discussion of ambiguity
•Use of direct quotations from the novel
16. One post on the rose bush
“The rose bush is like Pearl. It grows in a location where it
serves as a stark contrast against the prison. Pearl is
beautiful and grows in stark contrast to the fact that she
was created out of "sin." Pearl and her mother, Hester
Pryne, have been brought before the small counsel so
they can determine if Hester should be allowed to raise
the child, Pearl. They identify Hester as a sinful woman
and do not want the child to be raised to follow in her
mother's footsteps. When Pearl is asked where she came
from, she tells them that she was plucked from the rose
bush. Her wit is also thorn like.” Posted by mkcapen1
Teacher Middle School on January 29, 2010 at 8:05 AM
17. A second post on the rose bush
“The rose bush in this novel is another example of a
symbol, just like the character of Hester Prynne,
that defies easy interpretation and eschews
classification. The narrator remains deliberately
vague about how this important symbol can be
interpreted, but what I think your question refers
to is one possible legend that is cited as a potential
explanation for the existence of the rose bush at
the prison door, which is a rather incongruous place
for a such a beautiful flower to grow.
18. A second post on the rose bush, cont.
“Note what the text tells us about this: “This rosebush, by a
strange chance, has been kept alive in history; but whether it
had merely survived out of the stern old wilderness, so long
after the fall of the gigantic pines and oaks that originally
overshadowed it--or whether, as there is fair authority for
believing, it had sprung up under the footsteps of the sainted
Ann Hutchinson, as she entered the prison door--we shall not
take upon us to determine.” Thus we can see that one potential
story that explains the existence of the rose bush is that it
sprang up beneath the saint Ann Hutchinson as she entered the
prison door, but the truth of this rumor is never given.” Posted
by accessteacher Teacher High School - 10th Grade on July 28,

19. To Kill a Mockingbird and
The Scarlet Letter
I now wonder where the differences lie in how
teachers discuss these two novels:
The individual teachers?
The school grades?
The texts themselves?
I wonder if we are more likely to ascribe complexity
to some texts (e.g. Hawthorne’s novels and short
stories) and less likely to do the same for others
(e.g. Robert Frost’s poetry, To Kill a Mockingbird, or
Harry Potter).
20. Celebration of flexibility and freedom
The Discovery of Grounded Theory is worth
reading not only for its discussion of the method
but also for its challenge to the still dominant
model in social science research:
•“the rigorous rules of verification” are “so
stifling to the creative energies required for
discovering theory” (7)
•“escaping the shackles of existing theories” (38)
21. Literary Studies
I have used grounded theory to examine
discussions of specific literary works:
•Harper Lee’s To Kill a Mockingbird
•Nathaniel Hawthorne’s “Young Goodman
Brown” and The Scarlet Letter
•Robert Frost’s poetry, concentrating on “The
Road Not Taken” and “Stopping by Woods on a
Snowy Evening”
•J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter
22. Cultural Studies
I have also used grounded theory to examine non-literary
phenomena:
•claims of a coded message in the song “Follow the
Drinking Gourd”
•how gamers talk about the physical appearance of the
male characters that they are able to create and
manipulate within a popular online multiplayer game
•choices for names of guilds by LGBT gamers in online
games
•motivations and aesthetic concerns of people who
create and/or consume “celebrity fake” pornography
23. Conclusion
Glaser and Strauss had only the sociologist in mind
as they wrote their book, stating that generating
sociological theory is something that “only
sociologists can do.”
But their method, built around the “hard study of
much data” and intended to liberate “the creative
energies required for discovering theory,” can help
any of us answer almost any question that begins
with the words “How do people…?”
