Women of Needles and HolesMunoz, Michelle 01 January 2024 (has links) (PDF)
Women of Needles and Holes is a hybrid memoir focusing on the immigrant story of the speaker's lineage through the lens of mother-daughter relationships. Through a collection of lyrical essays, prose poems, journal entries, and poems, the narrative explores the concept of curing or succumbing to generational curses. There is an emphasis on the importance of female relationships and the complicated nature of motherhood. The speaker's maternal line is explored by framing the grandmother's and mother's stories through needle and sewing motifs. The family's Cuban and Spanish heritage is considered through the perception of each woman's relationship with both countries. The speaker's matriarchal history binds together when shifts in point-of-view occur such as in "A Cuban Cockroach," "The Burning Street," and excerpts from the speaker's mother's journal. Women of Needles and Holes explores what it means to pass down customs, female roles, traumas, and fears.

ZoraTyrrell, Genevieve 01 January 2013 (has links)
This mixed-media memoir uses a variety of forms from short epigrammatic essays to straightforward stories and graphic narratives to explore the author’s coming-of-age experiences augmented by chronic illness. Trying to succeed in the film industry, romance, and family situations, the young female narrator navigates the often unexpected or disappointing consequences of having an autonomic nervous system disorder. Relationships between conflicting identities emerge—between healthy versus sick self, projected/envisioned versus actual self, and tough versus vulnerable self—as the narrator journeys toward a more complete and accepting self-understanding.

Joan Didion's Iconic Nonfiction: Mass Media Distortion of the Written FormBeriker, Emma A. 01 January 2016 (has links)
This thesis explores Joan Didion’s concern of mass media’s infiltration on the processing and communication of her personal reality and memory. Didion herself communicates an anxiety of the infiltration of mass media into her individual communication of her unique, indescribable experience. Yet, she too is unable to escape this and instead, is forced to make this an act of adaptation, not separation. Mass media pervades Didion’s own mind, taking over her processing of experience and memory through the modes of photography and film. With these forms of mass media, Didion seeks a purity of personal expression through the form of writing. Ultimately, this proves to be just as problematic and is unable to escape the influence of mass media’s depersonalized representations of individual human experience.

Home: A MemoirLovell, Bonnie Alice 08 1900 (has links)
Home: A Memoir, a creative non-fiction thesis, is a memoir in the form of personal essays, each exploring some aspect of the meaning of home, how my sense of self has been formed by my relationship to home, and the inevitability of leaving home. Chapter I explores the nature of memory and of memoir, their relationship to each other and to truth, and how a writer's voice shapes memoir. Chapter II, “Paternity,” is an attempt to remember my father, resulting in renewed interest in his past and renewed awareness of his legacy. Chapter III, “Home,” is on the surface about my grandparents' house, but is really about my grandmother. Chapter IV, “Dixie,” is about my contradictory feelings for the South, and my eventual acceptance of the South's complexities.
