Kristin TangelAnnotated BibliographyCalu, John, and Dave Hart, Secret of the Painted Rock, (Bloomington, IN: iUniverse, 2006).This is a juvenile fiction novel about several youths looking to uncover the “Picasso of the pines.” However, it has much factual basis in its background. It says that it’s a landmark for travelers to Long Beach Island Some of the text also suggests that it should stay litter-free. While some fictional artistic liberties were taken, it still proves and explores some real-life points. Inside the book is also a list of contributors and works cited to gather background information. The authors have been contacted for interview.Doss, Erika. "Remembering 9/11: Memorials and Cultural History." OAH Magazine of History. 25. no. 3 (2011): 27-30.This article is about the outpouring of personal memorials after the terrorist attacks. Schools and parks had homemade tributes. It also considers the missing people flyers in Manhattan as memorials, even though they were desperate pleas for help in relocating those trapped in the crossfire. It analyzes the cultural impact from these tributes, and how people were inclined to commemorate the victims. This is very useful for this project. With the first American flag painting in 2001, people simply built upon it instead of returning it to its original varied painting ways. Personal outpouring of tributes increased there.Gelber, Katharine. "Political Culture, Flag Use and Freedom of Speech." Political Studies. 60. no. 1 (2012): 163-179.Using research from the US, Australia, and New Zealand, Gelber analyzes free speech implications with using flags as political statements. The article suggests that this form of expression is heavily protected in democratic societies. It also says that the national flag is the symbol of a country. Use of it represents the viewpoint of that country and/or nation. It describes flag-desecration laws in those countries, or attempts to pass those. Gelber also says that there are different contexts to using flags. Certain kinds of uses are protected speech, while others are vandalism. This article can prove useful when describing free speech symbolism with the national flag.Good, Ralph E., and Norma F. Good. "The Pinelands National Reserve: An Ecosystem Approach to Management." BioScience. 34. no. 3 (1984): 169-173. The journal article gives an overview of the Pinelands ecosystem and its land use. It also talks about how the Pinelands National Reserve was founded in 1978 and 79 through federal and state acts. Land in the region was to be accumulated by the reserve. As a result, there are large tracts of undeveloped land in the most densely-populated state in America. Gooley, Laura. "The Painted Rock of Route 539." Suite 101, March 31, 2010. (accessed March 27, 2012).Gooley describes the history of the rock. She cites Lou Puskas, Jr., who says it fell to its current location after a truck carrying jetty rocks got a flat tire and needed to unload some of its cargo. The original painter in the 1990s was Edward Gillesheimer, who lived in a community to the north of the rock’s location. A soldier’s wife painted the first flag design in 2001, and Gillesheimer left it untouched. The article also mentions Calu and Hart’s novel and the Weird NJ article. The final punchline of the article is very open ended, leaving the rock’s origina up for speculation.Lurie, Maxine N., and Mark Mappen. Encyclopedia of New Jersey. Piscataway, NJ: Rutgers University Press, 2004.A comprehensive encyclopedia detailing many different things about the state, compiled from submissions by many contributors from many academic backgrounds. Articles that will prove useful to this project include county government, as well as several articles about the Pine Barrens and the Pinelands Commission. This is a useful background reference published by major New Jersey academics. Mikkleson, Barbara. Snopes, "The Freedom Rock in Iowa." Last modified May 29, 2011. Accessed March 27, 2012. . This site is about a similar patriotic painted rock west of Des Moines, IA, in the town of Greenfield. It is a giant boulder that is repainted every year around Memorial Day with a new patriotic mural. The rock also happens to be in a remote area. This article provides a comparison to the one in the Pine Barrens. This rock also has a similar story. It used to be covered in random graffiti from local children. Another artist decided to paint a patriotic mural and it was untouched by vandals since. The only exception was for the 2001 Pearl Harbor tribute, where the vandal got apprehended by a Vietnam veteran. Local cultural feelings about this type of memorial or tribute can also compared.Nahmod, Sheldon. "Artistic Expression and Aesthetic Theory: The Beautiful, the Sublime and the First Amendment." Wisconsin Law Review. no. February (1987): 221-263.Ortiz, Susan. Weird NJ, "NEW JERSEY'S MOST PAINTED ROCK." Last modified 2005. Accessed March 27, 2012. book and magazine compilation of odd New Jersey attractions keeps a list of articles of notable entries on their website. Contributors wrote their experiences about each entry. The numerous entries are split into several categories. The 539 rock is listed under “Roadside Oddities.” A description of the rock and a few pictures are included. Ortiz wrote a poem about the rock’s history in addition to the article. The article is an example of literary artistic expression about the rock. There is also a little patriotic inflection in her poem.Prothers, Lisa. "Rock Stars, and Stars and Stripes." Lacey, NJ Patch, January 30, 2011. (accessed March 27, 2012).This news article is a more detailed journalistic summary of what happened to the rock. It even mentions that some did indeed think the added US flags were a “takeover” instead of returning back to its 1990s varied painting days. A few people, including Jim Rahn, who keeps a website about its previous designs, were contacted. The original painter was named Edward Gillesheimer and he lived in a retirement community to the north of the rock’s location. The article also quotes a 2001 letter to the Beach Haven Times saying it was an eyesore. Later, a while after the 9/11 attacks, people left other patriotic trinkets there. In 2005, it was repainted with anti-war graffiti. A few people interviewed for the article said that it shouldn’t belong to any one individual or group. They argue that it belongs to the public.Sloane, David Charles. "Roadside Shrines and Granite Sketches: Diversifying the Vernacular Landscape of Memory." (2005): 64-81.The article is about roadside memorials and their meaning in the local cultural landscape. It covers everything from private, simple shrines on roads to grandiose public memorials such as the monuments in Washington, DC. It explains that memorials evolved over time. Modern memorials started taking form after World War II. State road agencies have run into some controversy with religious displays on public roads. Other memorials can be as little as a graffiti mural or a simple token that reminded friends or family of the person. The rock in the Pine Barrens happened to drop there by accident, but others painted it to commemorate other things.Tay, Richard. "Drivers’ perceptions and reactions to roadside memorials." Accident Analysis & Prevention. 41. no. 4 (2009): 663-669.Tay analyzes how memorials could contribute to driver crashes. He uses roadside crosses from the Hispanic Catholic community as one example. He also argues that governmental road maintenance organizations see religious expression as a church-state issue. The results of a Canadian poll are compiled in this article. It found that 30 percent of respondents favor a strict no-memorial policy, with others having different opinions about which memorials could be allowed (such as standardized ones). Significant amounts of respondents suggested that memorials were indeed a distraction and did not encourage them to drive more carefully. Some of them further agreed that people should grieve in private. This article provides perspective into the memorials and tributes found on roads. While the subject of this project is a generic tribute to national tragedies and troops overseas, it is interesting to see how drivers react to remembering victims of car accidents at their exact place of death. ................
