Book of changesFawbush, Vanessa 23 April 2003 (has links)
I have elected to write a creative nonfiction thesis because it serves to demonstrate
my proficiency in the areas of rhetoric and composition. This thesis consists of a
series of personal essays based on my effort to reclaim my voice as a writer. In
order to organize these essays, I used the eight trigrams, or universal elements,
found in the ancient Chinese I Ching, Book of Changes. They are: Heaven,
Thunder, Water, Mountain, Earth, Wind, Fire, and Lake. One by one, I interpreted
each element in an effort to create a transformation narrative, my own Book of
Changes. Despite the chaos of my real story, the universal elements offered a
grounding for each essay. Each essay illustrates my survival as a woman and as a
writer. Although these essays grew out of a deeply personal experience, this thesis
is about crafting an essay-reclaiming my voice and my body of writing. / Graduation date: 2003
