Abstract
This paper examines how, through symbolism, allusions, and dialogue, Shakespeare reveals his attitudes concerning love, marriage, and gender roles in 16th-century society in his play, "The Taming of the Shrew".
From the Paper
"One of William Shakespeare?s best-loved comedies, The Taming of the Shrew takes audiences on a rather comprehensive journey through Renaissance social culture. Though the courtship between main characters Petruchio and Katherina is far from typical, it does offer insight into not only the customs and attitudes of Europeans in general but those of Shakespeare himself. Shakespeare seems to hold the same opinions as those of most men of the late 1500s?that love is generally very superficial and based on physical attraction; that marriage closely resembles a business proposition; and that women are nothing without their husbands or fathers to whom they must submit. Through literary devices ranging from witty dialogues and impassioned speeches to plentiful allusions and creative symbolism, Shakespeare reveals his attitudes concerning love, marriage, and gender roles in sixteenth-century society."

The Wood-Burning Fireplace, 2005.
This paper discusses the environmental problems of the wood-burning fireplace and stove.

Abstract
This paper explains that the main cause of pollution resulting from the use of fireplaces and wood burning stoves is produced when the wood does not completely combust, and instead ,releases gases, especially PM10, and particulate matters into the air in the form of smoke. The author points out that PM10 causes major lung damage, which is particularly harmful for young children and the elderly; wood smoke has been shown to be just as hazardous as cigarette smoke, and it should be taken just as seriously. The paper suggests that homeowners can prevent excessive pollution from their wood-burning stoves by starting their fires with a soft wood so that the fire burns quickly, by building a small hot fire, which quickly heats up the chimney and gets a good draft going, and by choosing a hard wood or manufactured logs, which burn longer and cleaner, emitting more heat and less creosote.

From the Paper
"Air pollution has a major impact on the environment in California because it affects many things from our health to our property, and ultimately the environment. When the issue of pollution arises, most associate the source of the problem to be large cities with thousands of polluting cars and dirty industries; however, the use of wood burning stoves has become an increasing source of severe air pollution in rural areas. Studies show that, "woodstoves release far more air pollution than heaters using other fuels." Not only does the wood smoke present health hazards for the people living in the area, it also clouds the air and reduces visibility."

From the Paper
"It is worth noting here that approximately 2 million Americans obtain remedial attention for body burns every year. Majority of the burns take place at their residence, at their workplace, or are caused during a road side accident. Approximately 50,000 and 70,000 American citizens are given treatment for body-burns each year as inpatients. Approximately 30% to 40% of this amount is children who are less than 15 years old. All body burns, both severe and minor, might source operational or aesthetic injury if they are left untreated and uncared for."

Cross Burning and the American Justice System, 2008.
This paper argues that blanket prohibitions on the issue of cross burning are unconstitutional in the American justice system.
1,545 words (approx. 6.2 pages), 4 sources, APA, AU$ 73.95

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that the current debate about the legitimacy of cross burning under state law has been a conflicting issue with the primary constitutional provisions, which protect a person's right to freedom of speech under the First Amendment. The author points out that the critical issue of racial intimidation by the Klu Klux Klan (KKK) in the case of "Virginia v. Black" provides a foundation for various leniencies by the Supreme Court to allow racial intimidation as a precursor for validating Virginia's laws, although they correctly struck down the statute of cross burning as a blanket prohibition against the cultural milieu of Christianity in the state. The paper concludes that the premise of racial intimidation portrays a contextual denial of the right to burn a cross at a KKK rally, but the religious nature of Virginia's law violated the Fist Amendment of the Constitution.
From the Paper
"This perspective has brought great controversy over the use of derogatory language as a basis for intimidation, but since the Virginia law did not provide any type of deeper semantics to the issue of the "breach of peace" the Supreme Court deemed it unconstitutional to prevent cross burning. The premise of religious freedom took a precedence in this ruling, since the very language of the Constitution does not deny any type of freedom of religious expression, but only if it does not physically harm another person. Perhaps, the ruling of "Chaplinsky v. New Hampshire" goes against this form of intimidation as an exception."

The Burned Hand, 2007.
This paper discusses the nervous responses and associated system interactions when a hand is burned on a hot stove.

Abstract
This paper explains that even brief heat of more than 120 degrees Fahrenheit, when applied to the skin, will cause damage to the cells in that skin. The author points out that, at the time the skin receptors signal the brain that a burn has occurred, the hand instinctively draws back from the source of the heat and the muscles in the hand contract upon realizing an injury has occurred. The paper relates that the spinal column and the brain act as the control center for the entire body sending and receiving signals from the control center to different areas of the body.

Summary and Conclusion
From the Paper
"In the case of a third degree burn the full layers of skin are affected and will appear white or charred and very deep burns will leave bones and muscles exposed needing specialized treatment and possibly grafting of skin to prevent scarring. These are the three burn types that might be dealt with in this scenario however only in some extreme accidental hand on the stove scenario would a third degree or even second degree burn be applicable."

?Upon Burning of Our House?, 2002.
A review of the poem ?Upon Burning of Our House? by Anne Bradstreet.
906 words (approx. 3.6 pages), 3 sources, MLA, AU$ 47.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses Anne Bradstreet's poem ?Upon Burning of Our House? written in 1666 about a burning house and the loss of all material goods. It analyzes how the work is based on the Puritan theological concepts of the time which tended reveal a sense of hopelessness and despondency as far as life was concerned. It shows how the willingness of the poet to shun the world and its possessions for bigger rewards is a purely Puritan concept which seems to lack substance. Material accomplishments were viewed as selfish desires, which had to be abandoned if a man sought to achieve happiness in the world thereafter.
From the Paper
"Bradstreet is exploring a very simple Christian concept in this poem. However if the poem is studied in historical context, we can unearth many significant messages, which speak volumes about the times of the poet. For example, the willingness of the poet to shun this world and its possessions for bigger rewards is a purely Puritan concept, which upon close examination seems to lack substance. The poet it appears was writing this poem to please the society of her times and thus failed to make any significant original contribution to this clich?d idea. Christianity has been preaching the same thing since time immemorial and it has been extensively discussed. "

Flag Burning - The Supreme Court Case, 2002.
This paper examines the supreme court case, Texas vs. Johnson, about flag-burning and freedom of expression.
1,140 words (approx. 4.6 pages), 5 sources, MLA, AU$ 57.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper starts by outlining the background to the Texas vs. Johnson court-case of flag-burning that occurred in the U.S.A. It explains the conviction in the light of the First Amendment. It looks at the court?s determinants and the consequences of the decisions of the court for future flag-burning offences.
From the Paper
"The phrase "Symbolic expression" is usually used to explain expressions that are mixed with elements of behavior. Symbolic expression (or expressive behavior) can be protected by the First Amendment, according to The Supreme Court that has made it clear in a series of cases. Many of these cases have been highly controversial, but none has probably been so, more than Texas v. Johnson (1990) overturning the conviction of a man who expressed his utter displeasure with United States policies by burning an American flag."

"Barn Burning", 2005.
Discussion of the white American family in the midst of social change in 20th century America in "Barn Burning" by William Faulkner.

Abstract
In discussing the issue of cultural modernism as the context in which "Barn Burning" operates, this paper cites two dominant themes that illustrate the emergence and pervasiveness of cultural change in the lives of Americans during the period. The first theme looks into the disintegration of the family institution and desecration of parental authority. This is relevantly demonstrated through the interaction of Abner Snopes with his son, Sartoris, as well as the depiction of the Snopes family all throughout the story. The second theme talks about the deconstruction of society's social class and race stratifications, wherein the influence of cultural modernism led to the development of an egalitarian society. The development of an almost egalitarian society is a state where individuals from all social classes and races are given a chance to become socioeconomically mobile in the society. In the texts that follow, these two dominant themes are discussed and analyzed with references to the short story, "Barn Burning."
From the Paper
"The first theme of the story, which illustrates of the disintegration of the family and displacement of parental authority, is parallel with Faulkner's central focus on family relations in "Barn Burning." In the story, the Snopes family is illustrated as being dysfunctional, primarily because of the dominant and abusive behavior of Abner Snopes, father to Sartoris or Sarty, whose point of view Faulkner has adopted in narrating the events of that occurred in the story."

Abstract
This three page undergraduate paper examines Faulkner's short story, "Barn Burning." The author notes that in detailing the distinctive formal characteristics of William Faulkner's short story, 'Barn Burning', it is evident that these characteristics reveal the modernist elements in the story. The form Faulkner used in telling the tale of Sarty Snopes and his family is typical of modernist approaches to literature, for he utilized a stream-of-consciousness narrator and created scenes where the action took place in culturally degenerate settings.
From the Paper

The form Faulkner used in telling the tale of Sarty Snopes and his family is typical of modernist approaches to literature, for he utilized a stream-of-consciousness narrator and created scenes where the action took place in culturally degenerate settings. These distinctive formal characteristics of modernist literature were incorporated by Faulkner into "Barn Burning'' because he considered that modernist literary devices were necessary in order to portray his characters exactly the same way as he envisioned them."

Mixing in "Burning Vision", 2008.
This paper studies the aspects of identity and mixing in the play "Burning Vision" by Marie Clements.
1,190 words (approx. 4.8 pages), 1 source, MLA, AU$ 59.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
In this article, the writer discusses that the play 'Burning Vision' raises questions about race, nation, identity and belonging, particularly through the metaphor of mixing. The writer notes that "Burning Vision" is a complex play, in which many story-lines mix together simultaneously. This reflects the complexity of the subject matter, as the play deals with profoundly important issues, such as war, death, colonialism, grieving, loss, hope, racism and exploitation, etc. The writer maintains that the play highlights the interconnectedness of all of these geographically, racially and nationally divided people, in a huge cycle of death of destruction. In so doing, it highlights Canada's limited ability to be inclusive, and finally offers a possibility for overcoming those limitations. This essay examines what the play has to suggest about the nation's ability to be inclusive, and what it offers as a possibility for overcoming those limitations. The writer concludes that the play ends on an upbeat note of mixing in a positive sense.
From the Paper
"This is chilling in many ways. First of all, LITTLE BOY is a lost and lonely, pathetic character in the play. Second, LITTLE BOY was also the name of the bomb dropped on Nagasaki, so the character is associated with death and murder. Third, LITTLE BOY implied that identities are stolen when colonialists lay claim to a people - which, as we know, is very much the Canadian reality, with horrors such as the residential schools, which were explicitly designed to steal Aboriginal identity. Thus, the play speaks to the key theme of colonialism - the foundation upon which modern Canada was built - in a very negative way. It speaks not of mixing, but of smothering. It thus shows us the potentially catastrophic implications of people mixing in a way that is not inclusive, but rather divisive, exploitative and repressive."

"Araby" and "Barn Burning"-- A Comparison, 2007.
This paper compares the theme in William Faulkner's "Barn Burning" to James Joyce's "Araby."
1,265 words (approx. 5.1 pages), 2 sources, APA, AU$ 62.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This book review describes the theme shared by both "Barn Burning" and "Araby" about the conflict between a protagonists' inner conceptions of what the external world should be like, and the actual reality of their respective circumstances. The review includes a plot summary of both novels, with a focus on the theme of inner conflict. The reviewer concludes that each of these stories tells the tale of a young boy being introduced to adulthood by having his innermost conceptions of truth coming into conflict with the very real circumstances of his life.
From the Paper
" In "Araby," the narrator becomes increasingly consumed by idealistic and romantic thoughts of Mangan's sister as the story progresses. There is a tumultuous mingling of the realities in the narrator's life, and the imaginary and exotic dreams that come to dominate his thoughts. Of course, this dangerous combination centers upon Mangan's sister; she represents both the exciting and the mundane. This is fundamentally because although she is a part of the ordinary atmosphere of northern Dublin, she remains something strange and somehow unattainable for the main character."

?Slow Burn?, 2005.
Examines the irony of raising consciousness for a worthwhile cause but at the same exacerbating fear in the public, as seen in Victor Kelleher's novel, "Slow Burn".

Abstract
Victor Kelleher's 1997 novel "Slow Burn" is a young-adult science fiction novel which has been enormously popular in Australia and the United Kingdom. The paper shows that part of its popularity is perhaps due to its main concern, environmentalism, which has been a major media issue for the last 20 years, as increased urbanization and industrialization have put the natural world and even human life in jeopardy. The paper shows that while Kelleher treats these matters with urgency, he also provides teenagers with a tale of disillusionment, loss and betrayal to which readers may easily relate. The paper argues, however, that Kelleher's hero, Danny Fenton, formulates violent, non-constructive responses to his fears and rage; his solutions ironically become part of the problem and are not justified.
From the Paper
"Danny assembles a group of easily influenced teenagers, forming bands of 'Eco-terrorists,' perhaps an oxymoron. These youths wreak havoc on society, exploding homes and other properties belonging to those they blame for environmental hazards. Naturally, they find themselves at odds against the Establishment, who, although they might agree with the message of the 'Eco-terrorists,' they are terrified and extremely dismayed by these acts of violence. As a result, the teenagers wage a full-scale war against the Establishment. Gradually, Danny's friends, one by one, are imprisoned; Danny alone remains energetic in his violent campaign to educate the world about environmentalism."

"Burning Chrome" and "Johnny Mnemonic", 2002.

Abstract
This essay will argue, with respect to the stories "Burning Chrome" and "Johnny Mnemonic", that Gibson represents the relationship between technology and the body as a dynamic process that is in continual flux. The characters in his stories attempt to determine fixed meaning in this cybernetic chaos, but come to accept the deferment of certainty and meaning that is a consequence of technology's continual reshaping of the boundaries of the body and its consciousness.

Moral Integrity in "A White Heron" and "Barn Burning", 2008.
A comparative analysis of William Faulkner's "Barn Burning" and Sarah Orne Jewett's "A White Heron".

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper compares two short stories, "Barn Burning" by William Faulkner and "A White Heron" by Sarah Orne Jewett, which both explore the challenges of young children who must rapidly mature and make tough decisions that will impact the rest of their lives. The paper maintains that the stories highlight the complexity of the issues faced by each child, issues that are exacerbated when one takes into account their tender age and uncorrupted views on society. The paper argues that, while both stories share the common thread of conflicting forces clouding the judgment of an innocent child, they differ substantially in terms of the magnitude of the dilemmas faced, as well as the focus of the dilemma. The paper concludes that, despite the different conflicts the protagonists face, the exercise, though difficult, makes them better prepared when launched into a new and unfamiliar world.
From the Paper
"In contrast with Sarty's plight, Sylvy's conflict is much more subtle and internal, impacting fewer people in the bright picturesque rural landscape. While Sylvy deals with a similar conflict in that a young child must mature quickly and make a decision they may not be ready to make, her conflict is more about her and less about others as it is in "Barn Burning." The small number of characters in the text combined with Jewett's choice of not giving the sportsman a name places the focus primarily on Sylvy. While her grandmother influences her to lead the hunter to the white heron for the $10, Sylvia is not hit in the face by her blood in order to influence her decision. While Sylvy's blood is disappointed at not getting the $10, the decision is ultimately left to Sylvy. Her decision, which only has mild consequences relative to that of Sarty's, allows her to grow by learning the real strength of her moral character. In contrast, Sarty was forced to betray his family in order to do the right thing, which meant he had to face the world alone, a much more frightening prospect than realizing one has a strong moral character at the expense of losing a potential friend and $10. In short, Sarty was dealing with bigger issues, though the decision to do the right thing was similar. "
