Cawelti is used to analyze the novel. The story of the novel is about a little girl named Alice who wants to be the queen when she is stranded in another world called Looking Glass after leaning into a mirror in her painting room. Result of this research shows that Lewis Carroll’s “Through the Looking Glass” is written using adventure typologyshown through a hero with a goal to reach. The novel also uses fantasy and Victorian era setting to support the suspense.Furthermore, what made the story popular in the era is the need of escape provided by the novel for Victorian children through Alice’s adventure

Investigating the Impact of Proxy Advisor Conflicts Of Interest on Shareholder Value

This paper examines the economic consequences of proxy voting results perceived by some investors to have been influenced by conflicts of interest. The proxy advisory industry operates as a duopoly, with Institutional Shareholder Services (ISS) and Glass Lewis estimated to hold a combined market share of 97%. These firms primarily sell voting recommendations on proxy proposals to institutional investors. However, ISS has a subsidiary, ISS Corporate Solutions, that sells consulting services to corporations seeking assistance with proposals to be presented to shareholders. Glass Lewis does not have a similar business. This paper examines the stock market reaction to voting outcomes in favor of management where ISS fully supported management and Glass Lewis did not. This paper finds that the excess return on the meeting date for this voting outcome is statistically negative, decreasing shareholder value, on average, by 0.15% (t-stat= -1.914). This significant negative excess returns is observed only on the meeting date; no estimate of excess returns within a trading week (-4 trading days, +4 trading days) of the meeting were statistically different from zero. Further, an ANOVA indicated none of the 7 other voting outcomes exhibited significant excess returns. A regression analysis comparing this “Conflict” scenario with a clustered group of all other voting outcomes shows a negative effect that is not statistically significant

19th Century Writings on the Grand Tour

Two collections of writings, found in the glass cabinet on the left wall of our Wonder Cabinet, contain the descriptions of two travelers’ times abroad during the Grand Tour. The first item is a travel journal written by Henry Louis Baugher, son of Pennsylvania (now Gettysburg) College’s second president, Henry Lewis Baugher. The journal was generously donated to Gettysburg College’s Special Collections and College Archives by Gary Hawbaker, class of 1966. Beneath the travel journal you’ll find a collection of letters written by Louisa Augusta Webb about the tales of her and her sisters’ travels. This compilation of letters is held by Gettysburg College Special Collections. The two pieces, when analyzed together, reveal the journeys of travelers on the Grand Tour. [excerpt
