Description
In my thesis, I examine the character of Henry VI in Shakespeare's Henry VI cycle (1, 2, and 3 Henry VI) - who has been critically thought of as a feminine figure - in light of the Herculean Hero model and against other male characters in the Henry VI plays. By comparing Henry to the Herculean model, there are points of similarity regarding character inaction - a feminine attribute - allowing Henry to become a more masculine figure than he has otherwise been criticized as.

Description
Familial Narratives & Personal Heritage is a collection of four short biographies featuring my and my husband’s parents’ growing up in the 1970s and emphasizing the importance of personal ancestry. The project was completed in three phases. First, I interviewed each primary source and secondary sources to collect the necessary data. Second, I created outlines and wrote initial drafts for each parent. Third, I edited, polished, and added photographs to the individual stories and tied together the overall product with an introduction and conclusion that discusses the personal heritage aspect of the project. The overall message relates to the importance that our ancestry has to our own existence.
