ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to thank my committee members and director for their assistance and encouragement. I am especially grateful to Professor Laura Wright for being a wise and reliable adviser. I also extend sincere thanks to the following people, without whom this thesis would not have been possible: Mom and Dad, Tristan and Rikki, Michael, and Miranda. I offer my warmest regards and thanks to my extended family for their continued love and support. Above all, I thank my grandmother Lorraine.
