Abstract
The paper describes how Jean Rhys uses flashbacks to set both the tone and the pace of "Good Morning Midnight". The paper portrays how the character of Sasha Jensen was more than simply depressed; she was nearly pathologically self-destructive, a woman trapped by the cruel vagaries of society, at a loss for how to escape the demons of the past.
From the Paper
"Jean Rhys uses flashbacks to set both the tone and the pace of the story. Rhys, in fact, opens with a flashback to the previous night, when Sasha finds herself crying over a memory brought to the surface by a woman humming to the score of a song: "Gloomy Sunday." From this memory, Sasha blinks briefly into the present only to revisit the past again. Through these memories we learn that she envisions herself as being better than the circumstances in which she currently lives and that her life has changed despite her friend assigning her to that "atmosphere" of existence. Even her name, Sasha, does not belong to her (Rhys 12). Sasha has molded herself into her current image and finds herself trapped there, by society and by her friends."

From the Paper
"What happens after Rene walks out of Sasha's life is a real heart-breaker. Sasha sits in bed fantasizing about Rene reading her thoughts and coming back to the hotel and making love to her, which turns out to be what she really wanted before her fears got the best of her. When the door to her room begins to open it is a mystery as to who it is. Did Rene really come back for her, or was it still part of her fantasy? Unfortunately it was not part of her fantasy. A man had come into her room with the intention of making love to her, but it wasn't at all the man she wanted in any way, shape, or form. It turns out to be the "white dressing-gown", which the man who was in the room next to her had worn all the time. The man in the white dressing-gown was an odd character who Sasha really had no good feelings towards. Sasha looks "straight into his eyes and despises another poor devil of a human being for the last time." After this thought she "pulled him down on to the bed, saying: 'Yes - yes - yes'" (190). Sasha's final actions are the ultimate example of settling for less. She had no interest in this man at any point, yet he is the one she ends up sleeping with while in Paris. We will never know if Rene could have ended up being a savior for Sasha, breaking her self-conscious ways and helping her fall in love again. What is obvious is that Sasha had the opportunity to make herself happy, but she let the past creep into her thoughts again and ruin her future."

Lost Women of a Lost Generation, 2002.
This paper discusses lost women of a lost generation, between the 1920s and the 1930s, "The Sun Also Rises" by Ernest Hemingway and "Good Morning, Midnight" by Jean Rhys.

Abstract
This paper states that both novels prominently feature women who live frivolously from day to day, desperately attempting to "buy" their happiness; or, at least, to buy the alcohol with which they may buy "forgetfulness" of their traumatic pasts. The author believes that, in many respects, the character of Sasha Jensen from "Good Morning, Midnight" may be seen as an older version of Brett Ashley from "The Sun Also Rises". The paper states that these two female characters serve as cultural "bookends" or markers to the long intermission between the wars.

The Morning After Pill, 2007.
A discussion on the FDA's (Food and Drug Administration) decision to not approve the morning-after pill for over-the-counter sales.
1,273 words (approx. 5.1 pages), 9 sources, MLA, AU$ 62.95

Abstract
The writer argues that the morning-after pill is one more strategy for controlling reproduction. The paper examines how the pill offers women a second chance to avoid an unwanted pregnancy, a "Plan B" to go to if the first plan fails. The paper further examines how emergency contraception is safe and reliable and effective for nearly 90% of women. The writer concludes that taking a morning-after pill is far from irresponsible; it makes good sense.
From the Paper
"Emergency contraception is extremely safe. A combined dose of four 50-microgram pills is only about 1/3 of the estrogen contained in a month's supply of birth control pills. Women in the 1960s, when birth control pills first came out, took 50-micrograms every single day! Other medicines, which were once prescription-only, have become over the counter medicines with no problems--why not this needed product? Ferriman (1996) reports, "Nine out of ten women who have had abortions say they would have preferred to use emergency contraception if they had known about it." She also states that 70% of abortions could be prevented by emergency contraception."

The Morning-After Pill, 2006.
An debate on the moral legitimacy of the morning-after pill.
871 words (approx. 3.5 pages), 5 sources, APA, AU$ 44.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper proposes that birth control would prevent the 800,000 abortions performed annually in the United States. The writer describes how the availability of new emergency birth control, the morning-after pill, has caused the anti-abortion forces to swing into full gear with cries of "immoral" and "irresponsible." The writer argues that for more than 60 million American women of childbearing age, more than half of whom wish to avoid pregnancy, the morning after pill is a product they need and want. The paper explores what the pill is and how it works, answers some of the objections to it, and explains why it is needed.
From the Paper
"Those opposed to the morning after pill say it is just another blow to families. Neff (1997), for example, complains that it was not manufacturers who wanted FDA approval for a morning after pill, but "the so-called women's groups--political advocates of a narcissistic individualism who want to sever sex and its pleasures from reproduction and its responsibilities" (p. 11). If this is so, if it was women themselves who called for emergency contraception, it shows that women want and demand control over their bodies and reproductive capacity."

"This Morning, This Evening, So Soon", 2007.

Abstract
The paper analyzes the short story "This Morning, This Evening, So Soon" , by James Baldwin. The paper examines how the title suggests that the passage of time will be an important element in the story. The role of time is important because it suggests the importance of the past and a questioning of the future. The paper discusses how the story takes place over the course of less than one day, but it uses flashback and foreshadowing to encompass much more time. The paper focuses on one of the prevailing elements of the story, that of fear. The narrator discusses the fears he had encountered growing up black in America, and the fears he harbors for the future of his son Paul when they return to a divided America.
From the Paper
"The long night of drinking and revelry that "passes time" before the narrator's journey home combines the elements of time and fear. The famous face of the narrator attracts onlookers at bars, and one group of American college students in particular become his companions for the night. The students explain that they had been traveling throughout Europe and had finally made it to Paris. "We meant to come sooner, but we could never make up our minds to leave a place" (242). For them, time is a mixed blessing, too. These students represent the future because of their youth and promise, but they also represent the past that the narrator had left behind in America."

"Goodnight Desdemona (Good Morning Juliet)", 2008.
An analysis of how Ann-Marie MacDonald undermines gender stereotypes in her play, "Goodnight Desdemona (Good Morning Juliet)."

Abstract
This paper discusses Ann-Marie MacDonald's play, "Goodnight Desdemona (Good Morning Juliet)" and shows how MacDonald uses gender bending and variations on sexuality to challenge and ultimately undermine gender stereotype. In particular, the paper focuses on the character of Constance and how she rises to her full human potential in this play, and in so doing, undermines the gender stereotypes which often function to deny a fully rounded personality to people.
From the Paper
"In conclusion, what MacDonald seems to be saying in this play is that the choice made by Constance is open to all of us - and without alchemy. All that is needed is for us to probe into the powerful depths of our sub-conscious, and in this way choose powerful personal attributes that will enable us to rise to our full human potential. The crucial point is that women may choose supposedly male attributes such as courage, because the gender binary that says most personal attributes are gendered is culturally constituted and illusory. We can have it all, regardless of gender. Thus, MacDonald's play powerfully undermines gender stereotypes."

Morning Sickness, 2004.
An analysis of morning sickness, which afflicts women in their first trimester of pregnancy.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper presents the physiological symptoms that occur to pregnant women who suffer from morning sickness. The paper analyzes research on this topic carried out by M. Profet in "Pregnancy Sickness as Adaptation," which suggests that pregnancy sickness represents a lowering of the usual human threshold of tolerance to toxins in order to compensate for the extreme vulnerability of the embryo to toxins during organogenesis, the period of maximum susceptibility to toxins.
From the Paper
"Pregnancy sickness is commonly referred to as morning sickness. It is often defined as a set of symptoms that occur in some women during the first trimester of pregnancy. Women with pregnancy sickness may experience food aversions, nausea, and vomiting (Profet, 1992). Profet argued that these symptoms of pregnancy evolved during the course of human evolution to protect the embryo against maternal ingestion of toxins abundant in natural foods. She suggested that pregnancy sickness represents a lowering of the usual human threshold of tolerance to toxins in order to compensate for the extreme vulnerability of the embryo to toxins during organogenesis, the period of maximum susceptibility to toxins."

"The Inward Morning", 2007.
A discussion of the philosophical text "The Inward Morning" by Henry Greenwood Bugbee.
930 words (approx. 3.7 pages), 1 source, MLA, AU$ 48.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper discusses how the author of "The Inward Morning", Henry Greenwood Bugbee, maintains that it is impossible to know anything for sure. The paper explains that rather than seeing the state of constant doubt as dangerous, Bugbee sees this as one of the blessings of the human condition. The paper looks at Bugbee's belief that the only thing that is anxiety-provoking is the false notion that there is one correct path for all people.
From the Paper
"The Inward Morning is a philosophical text that makes a profound statement against philosophical certainty and the quest for absolute truth. It is a very appropriate work to read by people who are living today, in an age filled with many possible ways of living and many possible truths, an age that is often called the post-modern age of doubt. The availability of so many options and choices can make the modern world seem frustrating and confusing. This book suggests that confusion is not necessarily a bad thing, but a natural part of human experience. The only thing that is anxiety-provoking is the false notion that there is one correct path for all people."

Morning Glories, 2007.

Abstract
In this review of the book "Morning Glories: Municipal Reform in the Southwest", the writer maintains that what makes this book so special is the warning it gives to readers about the needs for limiting the role of industry in politics. The writer points out that given the negative associations with both major parties, independence may seem like a positive value. However, the writer notes that the increased non partisanship in the Southwest did not lead to a more representative structure of government, and the civic 'reform' managers were more, rather than less influenced by wealthy interests that made up a minority of the population. The writer concludes that Bridges offers no solutions to the problems of today, but she does raise troubling questions about contemporary trends in American political life through her study of the regional politics of the American past.
From the Paper
"Of course, today the legacies of municipal reform movements are felt everywhere in the United States, most notably in the nation's strong civil service system, based upon tests and merit rather than patronage, independent voter registration, and other things we take for granted--but only in the Southwest were reformers truly blessed with victories at the polls. The value of Bridges' book is that it regionalizes American civic development, rather than suggesting American urban and suburban politics proceeds as a seamless whole. Bridges creates a historical narrative that traces the development of reform from the 19th century Progressives to the grass roots reformers of the 1970s and 1980s. In contrast to the corruption of the North, and even in contrast to the common self-image of the Southwest as characterized by 'pure' government only on small-scale suburban levels, a number of major Southwestern cities, such as San Diego, were dominated by nonpartisan mayors and city governments, the result of reformer's demand nonpartisan elections."

"Morning Song", 2006.
A review of the poem "Morning Song" by Sylvia Plath.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines Sylvia Plath's poem "Morning Song," which describes a young mother who feels overwhelmed by her new role. By analyzing the symbolism of Plath's words, the paper shows that the mother in this poem feels burdened and irritated by her new responsibilities -- an upset of the typical warm feelings society expects women to have about motherhood.
From the Paper
"Despite her negative reactions to the responsibilities of becoming a mother, she continues caring for and loving her baby as is expected. The mother "wake[s] to listen" (line 11). "One cry, and [she] stumble[s] from bed" (line 13). She responds to all her baby's needs promptly, including the cries which wake her in the middle of the night. In addition, she wakes just to listen, worrying about the baby during the night. This nervousness concerning the baby's condition confirms that the mother cares for and worries about her baby as most mothers do. The devotion to meet all her baby's needs without delay overrides the mother's desire to go back to sleep, or disappear from all her responsibilities."

"Sunday Morning", 2001.

Abstract
This paper is an analysis of the themes and messages of Wallace Stevens? poem "Sunday Morning". It explores the following themes: Religion is not connected to a sacred time or a sacred community, Religion and religious experience is the province of all, religion is present everywhere. It includes key excerpts from the poem that explain the author's intentions when writing the poem. The poem addresses the search for meaning that every human being experiences.
From the Paper
"One of the most important themes in American Literature is the presence of the sacred in the everyday. Religion is not relegated to a sacred time or a sacred community. Religion and religious experience is the province of all. It is possible everywhere one goes. It is not only possible in old and archaic lands. Wallace Stevens? poem ?Sunday Morning? explores these themes by beginning with a very banal image, that of a woman having breakfast on a Sunday morning. Note that she is not in church, even though it is Sunday."
