These writings represent a wide variety of interests, ranging from literature analysis to rhetorical analysis to technology-related research and creative writing. Not everything I've written appears on this site, especially what I consider my better creative pieces. But at least each area is represented. The starred paper is a particularly critical one for me, for it marks my transition from English to Educational Technology and it delves into some of the thick topics that interest me most. All papers are in PDF format, so they can be viewed.

And I wish I didn't have to point this out, but all these papers are protected by copyright and cannot be used in any form without my express, written permission. Should you like to use a part of any of these papers, I am deeply flattered and would be happy to email with you about your intentions. If you're thinking of cheating, don't use these papers - not because I'm lecturing you about cheating but because the language and style will catch the attention of any English teacher or professor (and you wouldn't want to draw attention to a plagiarized paper).
