From the Paper
"ack London in "The Call of the Wild" uses the story of the dog Buck as a dramatization of his belief that there is a "primordial beast" within each of us that can be evoked given the right circumstances. This is what happens to Buck, a civilized dog who is taken from the home he has known and placed in a deadly, cold, and primitive environment and forced more and more to fend for himself, to defend himself against the encroachments of friend and foe alike, and for whom self-preservation becomes the most important and immediate value. As Buck is transformed from a civilized dog to a wild animal, so would a human being placed in the same situation find that his or her civilized trappings were striped away to reveal the savage living inside the veneer.
The book begins with a poem that sets the stage and defines ... "

"The Abstract Wild", 2004.
This paper discusses Jack Turner's "The Abstract Wild", which shows the reader how wild the wilderness actually is.
2,025 words (approx. 8.1 pages), 1 source, MLA, AU$ 69.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that Jack Turner's "The Abstract Wild", eight provocatively written essays, reviews the ways in which the wilderness has been interceded, micromanaged and, in effect, nearly taken out of existence. The author points out that Turner feels humans need to spend time with the wilderness because the actual time they have spent with this very wilderness is rare; therefore, they do not know how to preserve the wilderness. This paper relates that Jack Turner, in "The Abstract Wild", defines wild as being natural; anything and everything, which stands in its natural form and away from development, is wild.
From the Paper
"This throwing of the spotlight on the wild and his related experience sieved out the special emotions he had once felt being created within him. It is here that Jack Turner has made his point, which deals with the effect of publicity on wilderness. From this story, one conclusion regarding his theory can be drawn. Had he not been involved in revealing his bond and connection either through pictures or through conversations, he would have encountered the equally intense or similar emotions inside him on his second visit."

Abstract
In this work, Oscar Wilde's plays are partially taken into deep consideration as an analysis of his playwright identity. In the process of the discovery of his decadent resentment of the late nineteenth century orders, the influential figures of the new movement are also indicated. Oscar Wilde and Walter Pater have important parallels among their Epistemologies, ethics and aesthetics. The writer uses extensive examples primarily regarding to Pater's first book, Marius The Epicurean: His Sensations and Ideas (1885) and Wilde's plays of 1894, An Ideal Husband, and The Importance of Being Earnest, to display their aesthetic ideology to demonstrate the precise link between the two, for it has never been convincingly interjected. The main question underlying this paper is of how Wilde perceives art. While exploring his conception of art, dandy-ism is comprehensibly touched in order to reveal his aesthetic identity. However, this paper discusses his aesthetic ideology in the context of individualism through the referencing of some of his works, particularly his aforementioned plays. The question at the basis of this preoccupation is of how Wilde displays the expressing of individuality and idiosyncrasies through art and in particular the value of art.
From the Paper
"The use of Puns is another concept that pars to both the aesthetic identity of Walter Pater as well as the aesthetic identity of Oscar Wilde. In this play "The Importance of Being Earnest", the pun, which is generally believed to be the lowest structure of oral humor, is hardly ever just a humor on words. The duality of the title in itself is proof of that. One example of such a notion lies in the earnest/Ernest humor that is utilized to hit the very truth of all the Victorian ideas and rules regarding propriety and responsibility. Gwendolen wants to be betrothed to a man named Ernest, without giving a thought to whether the man bearing such a name bears its qualities too or not. She, nevertheless, immediately exonerates Jack's dishonesty in personifying a man who is originally neither "earnest" nor "Ernest," and who, because of forces stronger than his own power, consequently develops both "earnest" and "Ernest." Jack is a perfect paradox and a compound emblem of Victorian duplicity."

"The Wild Duck", 2002.
A review on the play "The Wild Duck" by Henrik Ibsen.
1,165 words (approx. 4.7 pages), 0 sources, AU$ 43.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper provides a brief analysis of Ibsen's play and focuses on the symbolism of the wild duck and its relation to the characters of the play. It explains that the protagonist, Hjalmar Ekdal's life and behavior are similar to the symbolic wild duck. The wild duck possessed one sort of life spirit when alive, and in that form it symbolized the life Hjalmar might have had or should have had; in its wounded form, as a trophy, though, it symbolizes the life Hjalmar has now and the plight of his family.
From the Paper
"The wild duck would once have been free, alive, strong, and able to make choices as to where to go and what to do. This is no longer the case, any more than Hjalmar would be able to express himself, be free, or show any real strength. Another element of the wild duck's existence is that it is kept away from the real world in which it formerly lived. It is Gregers who says that if the duck ever glimpses the sky, its former home and place of greatest freedom, it will die of a broken heart. It can only live by the illusion that the sky no longer exists, much as Hjalmar has to have illusions in order to live. Hjalmar is therefore contrasted with the hard-headed realist seen in the elder Werle, and it is the clash between the two that represents the war between illusion and reality most clearly, with the wild duck as a symbol of Hjalmar's hiding his head from the real world because he has been wounded."

Oscar Wilde's Fairy Tales, 2004.
An analysis of Oscar Wilde's philosophy of Greek love in his fairy tales.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines how Oscar Wilde's reputation as one of the preeminent literary geniuses of the Victorian era remains an extraordinary accomplishment for an Irishman writing for and about English society. It looks at how, after his conviction on sodomy charges led to two years in prison and self-imposed exile to France, Victorian society vigorously denied Wilde's existence in their ranks and how Wilde's role as an outcast within Victoria's conservative society represents a compelling force in his fairy tales. It analyzes his books, "The Happy Prince", "The Star-Child", and "The Young King", as well as "The Soul of Man Under Socialism", for elements of Wilde's theory of masculine love.
From the Paper
"In "The Young King" the protagonist is a very young man "for he was only a lad, being but sixteen years of age" (Pomegranate) with enchanting beauty "wild-eyed and open-mouthed, like a brown woodland Faun" (Pomegranate). This detail about the Young King corresponds with an age-frame where Wilde would have been discovering his own sexual preference. In "The Young King", the young man's metamorphosis, through a dream quest, reconciles his conflicting roles as the son of the poor goat-herder and his destiny as "the son of the Old King." Shimmering on the surface of this tale is Christ's message from the "Sermon on the Mount" (Matthew 5, 6 & 7). Wilde declares, in "The Soul of Man under Socialism," that the message of Christ to man was simply 'Be Thyself.' The young King's recognition of his true self within these conflicting roles reflects his attainment of the virtue asked for in Christ's message."

Oscar Wilde and Victorian Morality, 2006.
This paper examines Victorian views of morality and marriage as portrayed in 'The Importance of Being Earnest' by Oscar Wilde.

Abstract
In this paper, the writer discusses the institution of marriage as demonstrated in the Victorian play 'The Importance of Being Earnest' by Oscar Wilde. The writer shows that the morality of being unity with a loved one is certainly the external social apparatus of Victorian marriage, but Wilde often points out the reality of patriarchal institutions that make marriage more like a business. Further the writer demonstrates that by realizing what moral virtues uphold the union of man and woman in love; the contrary affect of female abuse and sublimation are often the satirical reality in Wilde's classic play.
From the Paper
"This drama study will examine the morality of the Victorian marriage within the context of Oscar Wilde's 'The importance of Being Earnest'. By defining the often patriarchal nature of marriage in the Victorian period, one can realize the social institution that forged the strict observance of men and women being 'one' through a legal and moral binding. However, Oscar Wilde often conflicts with the institution of marriage, and argues that it is a business, rather than a pleasure. In essence, the Victorian institution of marriage is often hypocritical in that it portrays an image of money and legality, which denies the supposed moral pleasure of loving commitment. The opening First Act presents the conflict of pleasure and business in relation to marriage, as Algernon and his butler Lane discuss the topic of morality in marriage."

Abstract
This research paper contends that Alaska salmon represents a product that is far superior to farm-raised Pacific or Atlantic salmon and that specific factors beyond the degree of its superiority led to its demise within the fishery marketplace. The author reports that the research design is historiography, which provides a systematic process on the study of prior historical research. The paper suggests that there is a need for ongoing research to be conducted to determine the superiority of Alaska wild salmon over farm-raised salmon. Figures.

From the Paper
"Sockeye salmon are anadromous, meaning they migrate from the ocean to spawn in fresh water and are unique in their appearance, with adult spawners typically turning bright red, with a green head. Consequently, sockeye are often called "red" salmon; however, during their ocean and adult migratory phase, sockeye often have a bluish back and silver sides, giving rise to another common name, "bluebacks." As well, as reported by NOAA (2003b), the name "sockeye" is thought to have originally emerged from the Indian word "sukkai.""

Oscar Wilde's Lord Goring: the Dandy-Philosopher, 2000.
An analysis of the character of Lord Goring in Oscar Wilde's play, "An Ideal Husband".

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The essay discusses Lord Goring who is socially "idle", yet ideal in terms of philosophy. Moreover, it describes Goring as the most interesting and outstanding persona in the play, his ambivalent behavior, and the change he goes through during the play, and why he could be considered Wilde's alter ego. The paper ends raising the question of whether or not Wilde has lost grip on this character. Did Wilde manipulate Goring's behavior in order to obtain the desired ending of the play?

"Into The Wild" and "The Accidental Asian", 2004.
This paper compares and contrasts Jon Krakauer's "Into The Wild" with Eric Liu's "The Accidental Asian."

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper offers a comparison and contrast of Jon Krakauer's tale "Into The Wild," and Eric Liu's "The Accidental Asian." "Into The Wild" is about Christopher McCandless, a survivalist who perished in the wilderness and Eric Liu's "The Accidental Asian" is an autobiographical account dealing with race and ethnicity as an Asian American in mainstream U.S. society.
From the Paper
"Despite being vastly different in subject and scope both Eric Liu's "The Accidental Asian" and Jon Krakauer's "Into The Wild" are quite similar in theme. For though Liu's work focuses on the assimilation experiences of a second-generation Asian American and Krakauer's focuses on the wilderness experiences of an upper-middle class White American, both at heart are an exploration of the protagonist's search for meaning and identity."

Oscar Wilde, 2002.
A discussion of Oscar Wilde's homosexuality.
1,111 words (approx. 4.4 pages), 2 sources, MLA, AU$ 41.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper examines the issue of the author Oscar Wilde's homosexuality, how it was portrayed in his writings, accepted by society, and how he was eventually taken to court and found guilty of gross indecency. It looks at how homosexuality was not 'obvious' to Victorian society and Wilde often engaged with a kind of cat and mouse game with his reading public as a closeted homosexual author. Famously, the word 'earnest' was slang in many circles for homosexuality and queerness and it reviews his play "The Importance of Being Earnest" as a heterosexual comedy of manners.
From the Paper
"Throughout both of his trials, Wilde adopts a kind of insouciant, provocative pose that seems, to the modern eyes, to be a 'typical' portrait of a flamboyant male homosexual. Because Oscar Wilde's artistic medium has become synonymous with such a posture it is difficult to re-read history with open eyes. However, the answer as to why Wilde thought he could 'get away with it,' would seem to be found, not so much in the actual, textual evidence of either the trials or Wilde's later works during and after his imprisonment. Rather it is the attitude by which sexuality in general, and homosexuality in particular, was viewed by Wilde's Victorian reading public."

Abstract
This essay explores the uses of language that Snyder writes about in "The Practice of the Wild." By considering alternate meanings of words such as "wild," and "place," Snyder provides a potential for changing the reality of human relations with nature. This essay also draws parallels between ecofeminism and Snyder's views, as ways to expand the ethical and moral basis for ecological harmony.

From the Paper
"Chris McCandless was a very private and secretive person; yet, he was apparently sociable and attractive to people as evidenced by the relationships he established after he graduated from college and left his parents. Interviews in Into the Wild show his friends speaking of him with great affection; however, we can only infer how he felt about them. We know he must have felt some attachment because he wrote to them after leaving them and sometimes called them. He did not "burn his bridges behind him" by any means, but he always left them before too much intimacy could develop. Krakauer (1996) suggests that Chris may have had a psychological problem, a fear of intimacy. The quotation the author uses at the beginning of Chapter 7 by Anthony Storr suggests that some trauma in early childhood made such an impact on him that his "principle need was to find some kind of meaning and order in life which was not entirely, or even chiefly, dependent upon interpersonal relationships" (p. 61). Perhaps this explains what appears to be an obsessive hunger for meaning and his conviction that it could only be found in the wilderness. He could not allow relationships to get in the way of satisfying that hunger."
