Abstract
Robert Frost and Carl Sandburg are both important poets in their own right. Although they both grew up in the same era, their poetry styles have many differences. The paper firstly states their different origins, history and poetic style. Secondly, it analyzes a selected major work - "The Road Not Taken" and "The Road and The End," - of Frost and Sandburg respectively. It is worth noticing that the chosen poetry of both poets contain many elements of similarity. This makes the chosen sample most suitable to distinguish the most minor, as well as the major differences in the poetic styles of the writers. Thus, in the paper, their lives and poetic styles are compared and contrasted using an example of their poetry.
From the Paper
"Unlike the individualized thinking of Frost, and the reflection of his viewpoints on life, Sandburg carries the spirit of the people in his writings. As was appreciated for being the voice of the Americans, Carl Sandburg emphasizes the voice of the nation in his writings. Unlike giving answers to one's personal questions that arise within, Sandburg responds to the thoughts that live in every person's life and mind. If Robert Frost can be said to be digging into his own experiences in his poetry, Sandburg can be called to be analyzing the experiences of his fellow countrymen, and responding to them with his poems, with him as a countrymen or the unified spirit of the nation, in most of them."

Abstract
This paper looks at the life experiences of Carl Sandburg and how those experiences influenced his poetry. His use of rhythm, his type of sentence structure, and his free verse styling are also discussed. Verses from some of Sandburg's poems are cited to demonstrate his technique.
From the Paper
"When one considers the title of "Poet" various ideas and images come to mind, usually including some sort of obscure, eccentric view which generally includes a mental image of someone who wanders about with their head in the clouds, scribbling verses on a small notebook. However, most poets are far from the stereotype. Seeking to convey powerful emotional truth in a minimum of words, a poet, like no other type of writer has the ability to instantly affect its reader, sometimes using fewer than ten words. That is power. And that power to move people, to speak of a truth that many did not know is at the heart of the poetry of Carl Sandburg."

Imagery in Carl Sandburg's Poetry, 2002.
Looks at Carl Sandburg's more famous poems and his effective use of imagery.

Abstract
This paper examines the bluntness in the imagery of Carl Sandburg's poetry. Examples from several of Sandburg's poems are cited to demonstrate this stylistic technique. The paper also analyzes the messages Sandburg wished to convey in his poems through the use of imagery.
From the Paper
"Another excellent example of Sandburg's use of imagery can be found in the poem "Jaws." In this poem, Sandburg provides us with a very unique vision of World War I, as well as voicing his anti-war views. In "Jaws," the poet paints a picture of seven nations with "their hands on the jaws of death" (Van Doren 446, 1) who had a chance to avoid the war, but chose against it. This decision is depicted in a somewhat nonchalant manner: the seven nations spoken of disregard the importance of the decision they are making "while I was listening, you were listening, the whole world was listening" and simply answer "O Hell!" (11) and therefore start the clicking of the jaws of death. The imagery Sandburg invokes in this poem is one that mirrors his anti-war statement, as do many of his other poems, such as "Killers" and "Wars." "Killers" provides us with an image of "sixteen million men" who were chosen because of the "young warm blood in their wrists" and whose blood "runs on the green grass; and a red juice soaks the soil" (Hendrick 104, 6, 11). Again, Sandburg is able to convey a message successfully, no matter how difficult it may be to accept."

Abstract
This paper explores Carl Sandburg's use of literary tools in "Chicago" to emphasize the emotions of the poem. The use of diction to support the portrayal of Chicago as a city of laughter and pride is one of several aspects of the poem discussed in this paper.
From the Paper
"Throughout the poem, Sandburg makes use of diction to support the portrayal of Chicago as a city of laughter and pride. He also uses diction to describe Chicago's downfalls, which later seem trivial compared to the city's tremendous merits. In the line "Stormy, husky, brawling" the poet uses word that are generally used to describe large, sturdy men, making Chicago appear not only stable, but more human. This sturdy humanlike figure created by the poet's diction comforts the reader, making he or she feel as if Chicago is watching out for them. Next, the poet goes on to answer the questions of Chicago's critics, admitting faults where they exist."

Sandburg 'Killers', 2007.
This paper analyzes the poem "Killers" by Carl Sandburg.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
In this article, the writer notes that in the 21st century, a poem like Carl Sandburg's "Killers" needs to be re-read and placed into a historical context to be understood properly. The writer maintains that "Killers" seems like it could be a race-based poem, a poem about slavery. However, the writer maintains that the most likely identity of the sixteen million killers in Sandburg's poem is the victims of World War One. The writer notes that unlike many war-themed poems, "Killers" does not glorify combat or the motives behind fighting. The writer concludes that the imagery of slavery and imprisonment used in the first stanza continues to characterize war as a futile effort, initiated by men in positions of power with little concern for the well-being of their fellow citizens.
From the Paper
"Although Sandburg makes a point to disparage killing in itself, he admires the hardworking soldiers that fought for their country, preserving the rights and freedoms they believed in. A mixture of hardness and softness pervades Sandburg's poem."
"Sandburg's imagery corresponds with the poet's first stanza wordplay. The initial image of a man in handcuffs also hints at slavery, suggesting that Sandburg did not agree with military conscription. Millions of American men were drafted into military service when Congress declared war on Germany in 1917. It is possible that Sandburg was making a political statement with his poetry by using images of prisoners and slavery."

Abstract
This paper explains the content and style of Carl Sandburg's poem, "Prairie Waters at Night"; Ambrose Bierce's short story, "Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge"; Steven Crane's novel, "The Red Badge of Courage;" and Arthur Miller's play, "Death of a Salesman". The author points out that Carl Sandburg's poem, "Prairie Waters at Night," emphasizes the theme of the tranquility of waters at night by using repetition, alliteration, and sentence length to convey the sensations of a calming night by the water through sound. The paper relates that the works by Ambrose Bierce and Stephen Crane demonstrate the use of strong narrative; whereas, in Arthur Miller's play, "Death of a Salesman", the Requiem offers incredible ironies.
Table of Contents
Carl Sandburg's Poem, "Prairie Waters at Night"
Ambrose Bierce's Short Story, "An Occurrence at Owl Creek"
Steven Crane's Novel, "The Red Badge of Courage"
Arthur Miller's Play, "Death of a Salesman"
From the Paper
"Alliteration is also a technique that Sandburg utilizes successfully in this poem. The sound of the letter "l" is particularly effective in that it has a hypnotic quality about it. In the words willows, and laughter, we get a feeling of relaxation and ease associated with this scene. The vowel sound in the words long and drowse are also a form alliteration that forces to read the poem slowly. Another technique of sound that the poet uses is long sentences and line lengths. In this way, he forces us to read the sentences slowly, which reinforces the slow, tranquil mood he is trying to convey."

Abstract
This paper relates that evaluating and comparing human personality theories requires an examination of the history of psychology and an appraisal of the most prominent theorists. The author points out that Sigmund Freud and Carl Rogers have influenced psychology profoundly with distinctly different approaches to therapy. The paper explains that Sigmund Freud's psychoanalysis and Carl Rogers' humanistic therapy each have their strengths and weaknesses, but humanistic psychology seems to have much greater potential than Freudian analysis.
From the Paper
"In evaluating personality theory, it is important to examine the professional history and experiences of the theorists themselves, for these factors inevitably influence the formulation of their theories. We are all products of our own distinctive life experiences, and famous psychologists are no exception. Sigmund Freud and Carl Rogers were each influenced consciously and subconsciously by their own unique heredity, their respective professional environments, and a host of other personal, educational, and professional circumstances and events. The respective theories of personality they each constructed reflect all of these influences. Robbins (1999) notes that psychoanalysis was founded by Sigmund Freud more than a century ago."

Abstract
In the first segment of this paper the techniques and theoretical perceptions used in symbolic/experiential family therapy are outlined. The paper mentions that Virginia Satir and Walter Kemplar are also seen as having had equal, initial importance in the birth of experiential family therapy. However, the paper concentrates mainly on the work of Carl Whitaker and his colleagues, whose style of therapy differs greatly from that of Satir and Kemplar. The second section of this paper paints a picture of how these sessions of symbolic, experiential therapy might appear in order to give the reader a deeper understanding of the applicability of Whitaker's somewhat unconventional methods.

"Anxiety and confusion are increased through use of metaphors, teasing, humor, free association, fantasy, confrontation or silence. The underlying premise being that the way to promote individual growth and family cohesion is to liberate effects and impulses. This is often referred to as "expanding the symptom" and is done to refocus the family members on the problem as within the family, as opposed to one person having the problem.

Carl Rogers and Person-Centered Theory, 2007.
This paper examines many aspects of Carl Rogers' person-centered theory.

Abstract
This paper examines the impact of Carl Rogers' person-centered theory on society. The author also considers the application of the theory as it relates to family, groups, interpersonal relationships, and conflict resolution. The goal of the theory and how its techniques are used in therapy is also discussed. The paper compares person-centered theory to other psychological theories, including a historical perspective. All of these issues are important and significant for a complete understanding of what person-centered theory really is and how it applies to many various facets of life.
From the Paper
"The primary issue in Carl Rogers' person-centered theory is what he terms the "actualizing tendency" (Rogers, 1980). This term refers to what is considered to be the inherent and the immutable tendency of all organisms, of course including human beings, to do many different things, including grow, expand, develop, differentiate, maintain themselves, restore themselves and realize their natures as much as they are able to and as well as they are able to under the circumstances that they are given (Barrett-Lennard, 1998). This actualizing tendency is seen as the basic characteristic of all organic life, including human life. Rogers (1980) expresses these ideas very well in stating that "The actualizing tendency can ... be thwarted or warped, but it cannot be destroyed without destroying the organism" (Rogers, 1980, p. I 19). "

Carl von Clausewitz, 2005.
An examination of the core ideas of Carl von Clausewitz, a military strategist.

Abstract
This paper examines the life and ideas of Carl von Clausewitz, the famed military strategist and intellectual who served as a general in the Prussian army in the late nineteenth century. The paper can roughly be divided into three parts, centered around Clausewitz's modern relevance: his core ideas; the misapplication of those ideas in Nazi Germany; and their application in modern warfare."
From the Paper
"Unlike many individuals who have tried to have an influence on our understanding of war, Carl von Clausewitz was actually successful. He was Prussian general who lived in the late 18th century and early 19th centuries. He has had a significant impact on the way in which we understand war and its place in our world. This impact has been definable and dramatically affected how we understand warfare. The purpose of this paper is to isolate some of Clausewitz's core ideas about warfare and then demonstrate how modern warfare has been affected by these ideas. As examples, I will draw on Nazi Germany - where military theorists misapplied some of Clausewitz's core ideas - and the modern age of warfare - characterized by technology and terrorism. Unlike other war historians and strategists, Clausewitz avoided maxims."

Abstract
In this article the author looks at the events of 9/11 and its aftermath through the eyes of Carl Jung. He examines how Jung would have reacted to the events of 9/11. He points out that Jung believed very strongly in coincidence. But, would he have thought that 9/11 was a coincidence, something hidden in the collective unconsciousness. Maybe the unconscious beliefs of government officials, the CIA and FBI who knew that there was something going to happen, but didn't know when or where or even how. The paper goes on to describe how Jung would have categorized the different reactions of the American people after 9/11 in his terms of introvert and extrovert personalities. The author examines the different archetypes that Jung proposed in terms of 9/11. The paper concludes with the statement that even Jung would have not have been able to explain the "why?" of the terrorist attacks and what they hoped to accomplish.
From the Paper
"Jung dreamt a great deal about the dead, the land of the dead, and the rising of the dead. These represented the unconscious itself -- not the "little" personal unconscious that Freud made such a big deal out of, but a new collective unconscious of humanity itself. It would be interesting to assume that the thousands who died at the World Trade Center, the Pennsylvania field and at the Pentagon were somehow part of a Jungian dream. But, while we might think of Freud and Jung as seeing psychosis in dreams, Jung was more realistic. "Jung felt that, if you want to understand the jungle, you can't be content just to sail back and forth near the shore. You've got to get into it, no matter how strange and frightening it might seem" (Boeree 1)."

Carl Rogers, 2006.
A discussion on Carl Rogers' person-centered therapy.

Abstract
The paper discusses Carl Rogers and person centered therapy. Rogers' theory is that an accurate and positive self-concept is critical for the development of self-growth. The paper examines person-centered therapy, a therapy involving a mirroring of the client's expressed experience back to them with an emphasis on the client's immediate conscious experience, the central aim of this therapy is to free the individual by removing obstacles so that the client can become independent and self-directed through normal growth and development. The paper concludes that this approach to therapy would be especially effective for detox counselors, who work to promote a change in behavior for individuals with substance abuse issues, the core of these problems is an inaccurate self-perception that prevents individuals from clearly seeing their true feelings and motivations. The paper suggests that person-centered therapy may enable these individuals to understand where their addiction issues are stemming from and to discover their potential for personal growth and change.
From the Paper
"Rogers explained that there are three distinctive elements that characterize person centered therapy, including predictability, the discovery of the capacity of the client, and the person centered nature of the relationship between the client and the therapist (Rogers, 1946). With regards to predictability, Rogers (1946) described how there is a predictable chain of events that occurs in person-centered therapy that unfolds when certain conditions are met in the therapeutic environment."

Abstract
This paper discusses the lives of Archimedes and Carl Friedrich Gauss, two of the greatest mathematicians of all time.

From the Paper
"Far more details survive about the life of Archimedes than about any other ancient scientist, but scholars disagree on which details are fact and which are anecdotal. The most famous Archimedes story centers on how he determined the proportion of gold and silver in a crown made for Hieron through measuring water displacement. Since he supposedly made the discovery while in the bathtub, the excited Archimedes ran naked through the streets of Syracuse shouting "Eureka!" (Muir 20)."

Abstract
This essay deals with an indepth look at the psychological theory of Carl Jung and how it came to be. It speaks of the influences from his personal life as well as those from other psychologists of the time. The essay looks at the idea of archetypes and how dreams manifest what is really in our unconscious mind and that to be a "whole" person one has to face the unconscious.
From the Paper
"Man is not an isolated figure, but lives in a world that has many facets. Being constantly immersed in a specific culture and environment is bound to affect any field of study in which one is engaged. This is true for Carl Jung and his analytic personality psychology. Throughout his life, Jung was greatly affected by many events and incidents. He strived to make sense of them in an organized manner, but it was not until later in life that he was able to fully understand the true meaning of these events. Jung brought to his work and theories personal experiences, familial relations experiences, as well as the cultural-historical ideas of his time that, combined would give Jung the foundation he needed to create his great psychological theory."
