Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

A college initiation prank goes horribly wrong in this
psychological thriller from first time director Will Canon. As part
of their induction to the college, Frank (Jon Foster), the
overbearing head of his fraternity, decides to test his 'brothers'
to the limit by issuing each of them with a gun and telling them to
rob a local store. The initiates are supposed to be stopped from
pulling their guns at the last moment by a fellow student, but
events take a turn for the worse when Kevin (Lou Taylor Pucci)
winds up being shot by store worker Mike (Arlen Escarpeta). When
wounded Kevin struggles back to the college and Frank refuses to
compromise himself by alerting the authorities, fellow initiate
Adam (Trevor Morgan) is sent back to the shop to try to put things
right, but his problems are only just beginning.

Blurb: In this passionate, iconoclastic, survey of Creative Writing
as an academic discipline, Stephanie Vanderslice provides a
provocative critique of existing practice. She challenges enduring
myths surrounding creative writing - not least, that writers learn
most from workshops. Through case studies of best practice from
America and elsewhere, Vanderslice provides a vision of change,
showing how undergraduate and postgraduate programs can be reformed
to re-engage with contemporary culture. Abstract: Creative writing
as a discipline is a victim of its own success. The discipline
needs now to demythogize and revitalize itself. Undergraduate and
graduate programs need to be further differentiated. Programs
over-reliant on the traditional creative writing workshop, with its
focus on craft and on building community, are ill equipped to
prepare students for the new realities of the creative economy.
Programs need not only to improve the workshop experience of
students, but also employ a more diverse, outward-looking,
outcomes-oriented pedagogy and to make a more direct contribution
to the development of a literate society.Much can be learnt from
good practice; including distinctive and visionary programs;
developed on both sides of the Atlantic and in Australia. Key
terms: creative writing; literacy; pedagogy; programs; reflective;
reform; teaching; visionary; workshop.
