   <dim:field mdschema="dc" element="description" qualifier="abstract" lang="en_US">The completion of an original creation, a novel titled &amp;lt;italic&amp;gt;A Way to Water&amp;lt;/italic&amp;gt;, and a contextual analysis of the four novels that informed the creation of the novel--&amp;lt;italic&amp;gt;Frankenstein&amp;lt;/italic&amp;gt;, &amp;lt;italic&amp;gt;The Street&amp;lt;/italic&amp;gt;, &amp;lt;italic&amp;gt;Native Speaker,&amp;lt;/italic&amp;gt;, and &amp;lt;italic&amp;gt;To the Lighthouse&amp;lt;/italic&amp;gt;--fulfills the requirements for a Master of Arts in Liberal Studies. The novel created reflects the exploration of self and place, as the protagonist, a recent college graduate and Southerner, journeys across the United States. Her journey embodies the core of the Liberal Studies program--to explore human ideas and values--through her exposure to people who challenge and reinforce her personal beliefs, as well as her understanding of the world.</dim:field>
