 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Trope
Trope, in the liturgico-hymnological sense, is a collective name which, since about the close of the Middle Ages or a little later, has been applied to texts of great variety (in both poetry and prose) written for the purpose of amplifying and embellishing an independently complete liturgical text (e.g.
Tropes of such parts of the Mass and of the Breviary as are chanted.
The origin of the Tropes, that is to say of the Gradual Tropes (since the Antiphonal Tropes are evidently of a later date), must almost coincide with that of the Proses or Sequences which are most closely related to them; this would mean that their history begins somewhere in the eighth century.

Zoe Trope isn't very sure, either, and her small-press-gone-big memoir makes sure to remind you of that fact every page and a half.

In five years, I want to read about where Zoe Trope is. I want to see whether the adolescent weaknesses of her writing have blossomed into confident command of the English language.

 Second-Generation Indian Americans and the Trope of Arranged Marriage
This paper was originally presented at the conference, "Transnational Cultures Across Generations", held on April 11-12, 2003 at the University of California, Los Angeles.
It appears that my "psychosis" regarding the question of arranged marriage is not only a personal problem, but rather that the trope of arranged marriage haunts the creative output of a large cross-section of Indian American youth.
Finally, through an examination of the Indian American film, ABCD (American Born Confused Desi), I will analyze the process by which second-generation Indian Americans generate self-definitions that often remain bounded by this representational matrix, and in so doing often replicate the fixation on arranged marriage as an overarching signifier of diasporic identity.

 Zoe Trope : Please Don't Kill The Freshman : An article by spike magazine
Post Columbine, High School is a weird kinda place; it's not so much trapped in the aftermath of a shooting-range emporium frenzy as it is floating in the jetsam of Leftist magazines, strange poetry and Birkenstocks.
Poetry such as this allegedly scored Trope a $100,000 advance to publish her memoirs, not that it's any consolation for the fact that she's had her heart broken, like, a trillion times.
Trope is so far removed from the legallyblonde glamourpuSS school of pamper-sparkle-and-make-me-vomit-an-overdose-of-Barbie-dom that it's left her peers in a spin, and rapidly navigating her skatergirl trajectory into full scale bloom.
