    Women veterans face challenges of homelessness
    (Rhetoric and Composition Program, University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012) Redohl, Sarah; Kaghazi, Kaveh
    Tina Conroy's voice cracks mid-sentence and mid-sob over the phone in the Veterans Affairs office (VA) of Columbia while a comforting voice reminds her she can stop if it becomes too painful. “We had nowhere else to go. We had no money, and it was me and my two children, and my daughter and her family. Conroy and her family have experienced frequent periods of homelessness since her service in the Coast Guard ended in 1983. Though homelessness is nothing new to the veteran population, as the number of enlisted women has increased from six percent in 2000 to eight percent in 2010, women are experiencing the issue of homelessness.

    Representation through documentary : a post-modern assessment
    (Rhetoric and Composition Program, University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012) Arneson, Krystin
    Like photography, documentaries are a representational medium: They record and occasionally reconstruct the everyday reality viewers typically cannot experience themselves. Because photography is an indexical sign signifying truth, audiences understand the documentary, a moving photograph, to signify truth also. However, they are able to make the distinction between the "everyday reality" presented by documentaries and the fictive "reality" of cinematic films.

    "Work while the white folks play" : meta-theater and Greek Chorus in Show Boat
    (Rhetoric and Composition Program, University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012) Taylor, Alexander
    Based on the 1926 Edna Ferber novel of the same name, Show Boat (1937) is an American musical composed by Jerome Kern (1885-1945) with book and lyrics written by Oscar Hammerstein II (1895-1960). It is regarded as a pioneering development in musical theater; deviating from the contemporary trend of loosely connecting collections of popular songs with an inconsequential plot, Kern's music in Show Boat artfully illustrates a complex story, its characters, and their relationships. The musical relates the successes and hardships of a group of characters who live, work, and perform aboard the Cotton Blossom, a showboat, in 1887.
