Tetteh, Uriah S., Cynthia Derx-Techie. 2016. One Woman, Two Marriages: Angelou’s Treatment of the Subject of Marriage in Her Autobiographies. International Journal on Studies in English Language and Literature. Vol.4 No.1. PP: 53-63.

This study discusses how Angelou developed the  subject of marriage  touching on her marriage to Tosh Angelos and Vusumzi  (Vusi) Make. Through these marriages, she learns so much about the human experience and life, in general.  The  study critically explores these  two marriages  highlighting  the way and manner she endures all the challenges that erupt in them. The study concludes that Angelou emerges as a far better person than she was before contracting these marriages. Again, the conclusion drawn is that she is successful in her treatment of the subject to define her unique identity as an African American woman in a predominantly male-dominated world and so serve as an example for emerging women writers.

SUMMARY 2 (SERWANA IDRIS's)


Luong, Merry B.  A Woman Touch In F. Scott Fitzgerald’s Tender is The Night: Pulling The Women Out Of the Background. Thesis, Georgia State University, 2010.

This is a critical study of F. Scott Fitzgerald‟s Tender Is the Night focusing primarily on the lack of examination and criticism surrounding the women characters. By using a feminist reading of the novel in order to focus more attention on how the women characters affected Dick Diver‟s narrative and decline creates a fuller understanding of how and why Fitzgerald explored a much more intricate personal struggle concerning the investigation of identities and emotional independence as well as the themes of dominance and control between women and men. These women in Tender adapt and change to ensure their necessary survival long after their men have fallen prey to personal dilemmas. Mary North, Nicole Diver, and Rosemary Hoyt “preserved their individuality through men and not by opposition to them”, but this “preservation” represents the knowledge and ability to change and move beyond the identities created through those men.

SUMMARY 1

Deeb, M. Anwar, Gehan. 2016. "Moments of infinite joy within a limited time": The concept of time in John Green's The Fault in our Stars. International Journal of English and Literature. Vol.7(8), pp. 112-126.
Source: www.academicjournals.org/journal/IJEL/article-full-text-pdf/A980FDF59447

This paper discussed the approach of the notion of time that passes in the narrative and how it plays out through the structure of TFIOS based on the narrative theory of time by Paul Ricoeur in his book  Narrative  and  Time  (1984). Green deals with time as duration, both chronological and psychological, the time it takes a reader to actually read and time as an organizational device. Time is also a subject both Green and the characters speculate about,
particularly in their fear of oblivion and their need to be remembered after death. The author presents how time passes and how a disease like cancer affects young adolescents in real life.

SUMMARY 2 (VANNY KARLINA's)

Maija Brede.2004. Stylistic Variation as Manifest in the Informational Style of Intonation. University of Latvia, Latvia.Vol. 11.p(1-11)

The article looks into some features of the informational style of intonation in English in contrast to Latvian. Forthe analysis excerpts of a news broadcast from the Sky News, BBC World and LNT were chosen as presented by professional announcers. Auditive analysis provides data on voice timbre, logical division of speech, style-marking prosodic features and the prominence of semantic centres. The results of the present analysis of the style of intonation in English in comparison with the one undertaken in 1991 reveal that the basic features remain relatively stable. A slight difference in the voice timbre of contemporary announcers has been observed: occasionally it bears traits of emotional colouring. The division of the text basically corresponds to grammatical constructions; the pauses are of variable length. The loudness of speech is normal. The English announcers use a relatively wide voice range. The pace of speech is characterized as moderate with a slow-down on prominent parts of the text. Informational style characteristics of English include also a number of high

falls and wide falls that create the impression of emphasis on semantic centres.

SUMMARY 1

Khader, Tawfiq, Khader. Mohammed Mostafa Kullab. 2016. The Structure of Parallelism in Sa’adi Yusuf’s Poetry. International Journal on Studies in English Language and Literature. Vol.4(2), pp. 39-51.

Parallelism is one of the modern linguistic concepts that is evidently conspicuous at all levels of the poetic text:  the phonological, the morphological, the lexical, and the syntactic levels. The two researchers seek to examine the manifestations of the Sa’adi Yusuf’s poetry so as to get the knowledge of its structural forms, its connotative powers and its expressive ability, that gives the ample opportunity to various readings, preparing the reader to be acquainted with the experiences of the creative person, his/her artistic visions, and his/her creative potentialities. The study is based on the descriptive – analytical approach, which extrapolate and analyze the poetic texts, and it examines the levels of parallelism: the phonological, orphological, lexical and syntactic parallel structure. 

SUMMARY 2 (MITA DWI's)

Yesapogu.Venkateswarlu.2016. Re-Writing the Traditional Romantic Feelings in Modern Vision in the Novels of R.K.Narayan- A Critical Study. International Journal on Studies in English Language and Literature (IJSELL).Vol.4 No.4.April.Pp: 21-25

This paper is about analyzing Narayan’s novels from the Rasa point of view the traditional method of working out only the friendly emotions has been followed. But as the traditional theory permits an alignment of inimical Rasas through the intervention of a catalytic emotion, like, for example, the emotion of the Wonderful (Adbhuta). The analysis has taken recourse to the traditional theory of reconciling the opposites (Virudha) through an intermediary emotion. Without deviating very much from the traditional mode, and by sticking to it by and large Narayan’s novels have been analyzed from the Rasa point of view.This thesis attempts to supply that lacuna by analyzing four major novels of Narayan from the point of view of the Indian theory of emotion. Applying an age old theory to a modern work in an alien language entails certain modifications to be made to the theory. But as Narayan is a more traditional Indian writer than the others, the theory is by and large found suitable to an analysis of his novels. Without making a violent departure from the norms laid down by the theory, this article aims at looking at some Narayan novels from this point of view.
