ellauri072.html on line 520: The externals of Wallace’s life are not too distinctive. He was a smart kid raised in a middle-class family in Urbana, Ill.; his mother was an English teacher and his father a professor of philosophy. Wallace attended Amherst, where he first had trouble fitting in and then found a niche where he fit in very well. He had some intense and dramatic long-term relationships with women and also his share of brief sexual encounters, and he eventually had what is said to have been a loving and grounded marriage. It is his internal agitations, not his circumstances, that were extreme.
ellauri072.html on line 586: Wallace opiskeli Amherst Collegessa ja Arizonan yliopistossa. Myöhemmin hän työskenteli yliopisto-opettajana ja opetti vuodesta 2002 Pomona Collegessa.

Se lauloi yliopiston kuorossa kauniisti. Taavi kirjoitti gradun nimeltä Fate, time, and Language: An Essay on Free Will (2011). Sovelsi sitten opittua: lopetti luvut ja rupesi kirjailijan epävakaalle uralle. Se sanoi David Lipskylle että filosofiassa sen pää kävi vaan yhdellä pytyllä, kirjallisuudessa käynnistyi koko 2-tahtimoottori.
ellauri073.html on line 540: David Foster Wallace became a regionally ranked tennis player while growing up in Illinois. David Foster Wallace´s thesis, The Broom of the System, that he wrote while at Amherst College was published in 1987 while he was attending graduate school. In 1989 David Foster Wallace´s short story collection titled Girl with Curious Hair was published. After graduating from the University of Arizona David went on to study philosophy at Harvard University but soon chose to leave. He moved to Syracuse to be with the poet and novelist Mary Karr. While in Syracuse David Foster Wallace wrote most of his famous novel Infinite Jest. The finished book was 1,100 pages long. The novel dealt with addiction, art, and consumerism, and was set in the near future.
ellauri077.html on line 103: V.1980, David Foster Wallace pääsi koulusta ja Amherstin Collegeen, jossa sillä oli 2 pääainetta, äidin äidinkieli ja isän filosofia. Se oli menestyvä opiskelija, luki modaalilogiikkaa ja matematiikkaa filosofiassa ja otti osaa laulukuorotoimintaan. Siitä tuli kaverien kesken tosi suosittu.

(Ajatella että meillä oli Wallun kanssa masixet just samaan aikaan vain 3000 mailin päässä toisistamme. Mä kävin Amherstissa MIT-aikoina ja halasin izeäni kaxin käsin etten ollut valinnut sitä opiskelupaikaxi. Siellä ei ollut juuri muuta kuin lehmiä.) Tällä kertaa Wallu pääsi suljetulle osastolle missä sillä diagnosoitiin lääketieteellinen depressio ja tuputettiin antidepressantteja.

ellauri078.html on line 99: The singing of hymns, by the way, was not always a feature of Christian worship. For dumb anglo-saxons it was the briton Isaac Watts, a nonconformist (lue hihhuli) during the late 17th Century, who wedded the meter of Folk Song and Ballad to scripture. One of the churches that fully adopted Watts’ hymns was the The First Church of Amherst, Massachusetts, where Dickinson from girlhood on, worshiped.
ellauri078.html on line 135: Emily Elizabeth Dickinson was born in Amherst, Massachusetts, on December 10, 1830 to Edward and Emily (Norcross) Dickinson. At the time of her birth, Emily’s father was an ambitious young lawyer. Educated at Amherst and Yale, he returned to his hometown and joined the ailing law practice of his father, Samuel Fowler Dickinson. Edward also joined his father in the family home, the Homestead, built by Samuel Dickinson in 1813. Active in the Whig Party, Edward Dickinson was elected to the Massachusetts State Legislature (1837-1839) and the Massachusetts State Senate (1842-1843).
ellauri078.html on line 137: Between 1852 and 1855 he served a single term as a representative from Massachusetts to the U.S. Congress. In Amherst he presented himself as a model citizen and prided himself on his civic work—treasurer of Amherst College, supporter of Amherst Academy, secretary to the Fire Society, and chairman of the annual Cattle Show. Comparatively little is known of Emily’s mother, who is often represented as the passive wife of a domineering husband. Her few surviving letters suggest a different picture, as does the scant information about her early education at Monson Academy. Academy papers and records discovered by Martha Ackmann reveal a young woman dedicated to her studies, particularly in the sciences.
ellauri078.html on line 139: By the time of Emily’s early childhood, there were three children in the household. Her brother, William Austin Dickinson, had preceded her by a year and a half. Her sister, Lavinia Norcross Dickinson, was born in 1833. All three children attended the one-room primary school in Amherst and then moved on to Amherst Academy, the school out of which Amherst College had grown. The brother and sisters’ education was soon divided. Austin was sent to Williston Seminary in 1842; Emily and Vinnie continued at Amherst Academy.
ellauri078.html on line 141: By Emily Dickinson’s own account, she delighted in all aspects of the school—the curriculum, the teachers, the students. The school prided itself on its connection with Amherst College, offering students regular attendance at college lectures in all the principal subjects— astronomy, botany, chemistry, geology, mathematics, natural history, natural philosophy, and zoology. As this list suggests, the curriculum reflected the 19th-century emphasis on science. That emphasis reappeared in Dickinson’s poems and letters through her fascination with naming, her skilled observation and cultivation of flowers, her carefully wrought descriptions of plants, and her interest in “chemic force.” Those interests, however, rarely celebrated science in the same spirit as the teachers advocated.
ellauri078.html on line 147: Dickinson found the conventional religious wisdom the least compelling part of these arguments. From what she read and what she heard at Amherst Academy, scientific observation proved its excellence in powerful description. The writer who could say what he saw was invariably the writer who opened the greatest meaning to his readers. While this definition fit well with the science practiced by natural historians such as Hitchcock and Lincoln, it also articulates the poetic theory then being formed by a writer with whom Dickinson’s name was often later linked. In 1838 Emerson told his Harvard audience, “Always the seer is a sayer.”
ellauri078.html on line 149: At the academy she developed a group of close friends within and against whom she defined her self and its written expression. Among these were Abiah Root, Abby Wood, and Emily Fowler. Other girls from Amherst were among her friends—particularly Jane Humphrey, who had lived with the Dickinsons while attending Amherst Academy.

Sen mies oli Emmon Bach, jolla oli silläkin paha depressio. Niillä oli vanerinen kesämökki jossain puskassa, jonne ne kuzui mut ja Alice Ter Meulenin kerran lomaselle. Mulla on vieläkin näkömuisto sieltä, joku vaapsahainen istumassa vanerilla keskellä pusikkoa. Seija kieltäytyi lähtemästä Amherstiin lehmien ja nenäkkäiden amerikkalaisten ihmeteltäväxi.

Toisen esi-isä veti inkkareita törkeästi nenästä (tosin ne 3 inkkaria oli luultavasti huijareita nekin, minkä kolonistit varsin hyvin tiesivät), toinen retkui Amherstissa nuorena eläkeläisenä.

Dowty et al. ilmestyi 1981, jolloin John oli justiinsa syntynyt ja mä valmistunut ja masentuneen Stan Petersin sitä paljon pätevämpi rouva pyysi mua Amherstiin sijaisexi, mutta me ei menty. Montague-semantiikka kuoli sitten omaan mahdottomuuteensa, tai paremminkin koska siitä ei saanut helppoja tietokonesovelluxia. Just tohon aikaan mikrot tuli joka humanistin pöydälle ja kaikki halus tehdä jotain jota niillä saattoi tehdä, ja Montaguen joukko-opillinen semantiikka ei siltä näyttänyt. Se oli pelkkää määrittelyä, siitä puuttui komputoitavuus. Onnexi ei menty.

xxx/ellauri307.html on line 739: He played squash, sang in the Amherst Glee Club, and was a writing student of visiting novelist Alan Lelchuk (n.h.). [Merkittäviä kriittisiä tutkimuksia Lelchukista ovat olleet Philip Roth Esquiressa, Wilfrid Sheed Book -of-the-Month Club Newsissa, Benjamin DeMott The Atlanticissa, Mordechai Richler Chicago Tribunessa ja Steven Birkets The New Republicissa. Nämä olivat varmaan kaikki juutalaisia, kuten Lechuk izekin. American Mischief "Yksikään kirjailija ei ole kirjoittanut niin tietäen ja kaunopuheisesti lihallisen intohimon seurauksista Massachusettsissa Scarlet Letterin jälkeen." Philip Roth, Esquire. On Home Ground "On Home Ground herättää nuorille lukijoilleen ajankohtaisia kysymyksiä ja tekee sen niin taitavasti. Se saavuttaa niin paljon menestystä kuin baseball-harjoitus ja nostalgia." Juutalaisomisteinen The New York Times Book Review. Lelchuk kirjoittaa valtavan ilolla kuvista, sanoista ja järkähtämättömästä kuolevaisesta erityisyydestä. Naisille, jotka etsivät vastauksia, hän tarjoaa juutalaisia olankohautuxia, epäselvyyttä, joka on omituisen tyydyttävää." Catherine Bateson (juutalaisen Margaret Meadin juutalainen tytärvainaa).] Brown spent the 1985 school year abroad in Seville, Spain, where he was enrolled in an art history course at the University of Seville. Brown graduated from Amherst in 1986.
xxx/ellauri307.html on line 743: Benjy DeMott -vainaa "saw as three pervasive social myths: the assumption, held by many Americans, that we live in a classless society; the promise, held out by movies and television, that individual friendships between blacks and whites can vanquish racism all by themselves; and the images of women, ubiquitous in popular culture, that render them almost indistinguishable from men." He opined that movements of the lower classes have a tendency to 'go awry.' Benjamin Haile DeMott was born on June 2, 1924, in Rockville Centre, N.Y.; his father was a carpenter, his mother a faith healer. He joined the Amherst faculty in 1951 and earned a Ph.D. in English literature from Harvard two years later. He observed that a tenet of national faith in America had been that "goodness equals laughter, that humour can banish crisis, that if you pack up your troubles and smile, horror will take to the caves". Critical response to Mr. DeMott's work was divided. His detractors saw his pop-culture references as forced efforts to look au courant.
