From the Paper
"In Sexual Behavior in the Human Male Kinsey and associates (1948) studied sex phenomena of human beings just as a biologist would study biological phenomena. He presented evidence from a scientist's point of view, void of moral bias or prejudice (p. vii). This report will present a summary and critique of the book. It is a report from a nine year case history study regarding all aspects of human sex behavior (pp. 3, 8). An attempt was made to obtain objective facts about sex through first-hand interviews of persons residing in the United States; approximately 12,000 subjects contributed to the study and around 6300 were male. The male data provided information for this publication (female data was to be presented in a future volume.
This volume began with a presentation of information regarding other studies and the concept of interviewing. The ..."

Abstract
This paper discusses and analyzes the topic of the C and C++ programming languages. Specifically, it discusses some common applications of the language. C, and its derivative, C++, two of the most commonly-used programming languages in the world. They are versatile, easy to work with, and help the programmer create complicated yet functional programs for the end-user.
From the Paper
"The C programming language was developed for large-scale applications, and it is still used extensively in the UNIX environment. It is also heavily utilized in computer games. Initially, C was developed to program and organize the UNIX operating system in the 1970s. As the language evolved, it was used (and still is used) extensively to program personal computers (PCs), and develop programs for them. Originally, C was developed for use in applications that had little space for memory. C uses very little memory, and so it was perfect for these applications. As one expert writes about the language, "Yet it was designed to allow programmers to do heavy-duty 'systems' programming, working on such basic software plumbing as operating systems, compilers, and the like" (Lohr 79). Many experts have compared C to FORTRAN, because it opened up a whole wealth of applications in higher-level languages. FORTRAN gave the programmer the opportunity to program larger machines with bigger programs, especially in engineering and scientific applications."

Abstract
This paper provides an analysis of the character of J. Alfred Prufrock in T.S. Eliot's poem "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock". The paper depicts Prufrock's fears, insecurities and views in the society he lives in and uses quotes and lines from the poem to support the analysis.
From the Paper
"J. Alfred Prufrock, the main character in the poem "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock", by T.S. Eliot, appears to be an unhappy man aware of his weaknesses and riddled with self doubts. Prufrock is portrayed as someone who is in despair and helpless. He feels as if he has never accomplished anything in his life and is painfully aware of his failures: "For I have known them all already, known them all:/ Have known the evenings, mornings, afternoons,/ I have measured out my life with coffee spoons;/ I know the voices dying with a dying fall/ Beneath the music from a farther room/ So how should I presume?" (Eliot, 1917, Lines 55-60). This awareness of his failures is what puts Prufrock in despair: "But though I have wept and fasted, wept and prayed,/ Though I have seen my head [grown slightly bald] brought in upon a platter,/ I am no prophet-and here's no great matter." (Eliot, 1917, Lines 87-89). He mocks himself for being too weak and too helpless to turn his life around. This very helplessness fills him with panic and despair: "When I am pinned and wriggling on the wall,/ Then how should I begin/ To spit out all the butt-ends of my days and ways?/ And how should I presume?" (Eliot, 1917, Lines 64-67). Prufrock, to put it bluntly, is clueless on how to start over and to pick up the pieces. He perceives himself as doomed to his fate: "Till human voices wake us, and we drown." (Eliot, 1917, Line 138), "I do not think they will sing to me." (Eliot, 1917, Line 131)."

Alfred Hitchcock and Voyeurism, 2003.
An analysis of the connection between voyeurism and cinema in the Alfred Hitchcock films "Rear Window" and "Vertigo".
2,128 words (approx. 8.5 pages), 3 sources, APA, AU$ 83.95

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines how Alfred Hitchcock?s films deal with many psychological themes, including the idea of voyeurism. It reviews two of his films; "Rear Window" (USA, 1954, Alfred Hitchcock) and "Vertigo" (USA, 1958, Alfred Hitchcock) and discusses the occurrence of voyeurism within the narratives of both films. It also looks at the idea that certain aspects of the films can be said to be representations of the voyeuristic nature of cinema-going itself.
From the Paper
"I will now look at Vertigo and consider how the voyeurism and the gaze of the film can be seen as much more sexual than that of Rear Window. It has been said that Rear Window seems like a comical ?test run? for the more obsessive and frightening nature of Vertigo, and that Rear Window, Vertigo and Psycho form a sort of trilogy of films that contained the them of voyeurism. Vertigo was not as popular on its original release as Rear Window. This is probably due to the fact that there is a lot more complexity and psychology in the story, or because James Stuart seemed too old to play the romantically obsessed man. The story is about Scotty (James Stewart), an acrophobic detective who has been hired by a friend to trail his beautiful and troubled wife, Madeline. His quest at first is an innocent one, but he soon becomes Madeline?s obsessive stalker. "

The Alfred Jewel, 2008.
A discussion of the history, purpose and significance of the Alfred Jewel.
1,553 words (approx. 6.2 pages), 7 sources, MLA, AU$ 63.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses the Alfred Jewel, its design, purpose and significance. It explains that this jewel was the first Anglo-Saxon artifact ever to be found on British territory and that it is one of the most renowned objects to remain intact from Anglo-Saxon England, and is typically linked with Alfred the Great, king of the West Saxons from 871-99. The paper looks at the various interpretations of the design in the enamel of the jewel. The paper also explores the different theories on the supposed purpose of the Jewel. The paper also explains how the Alfred Jewel landed up in the Ashmolean Museum in England.
From the Paper
"Since the jewel was discovered, there has been much speculation as to what purpose it was meant to serve. One theory is that the jewel was a symbol of office, either of Alfred or of one of his officials (Roberts). Alfred wholeheartedly devoted himself to providing his people with a valuable understanding of many subjects. Many scholars believe that the image carved into the enamel of the Alfred Jewel is mean to portray Christ as the embodied form of Wisdom of god (Hinton 51). It is common for objects from the Anglo-Saxon period to be adorned with explicitly Christian objects. Alfred had aspirations to use his own virtue and wisdom to acquire authority. Given that Alfred perceived power in such a manner, he might have considered the Alfred Jewel to be representative of worldly office."

Abstract
This paper reviews and discusses Alfred Adler's ideas on neurosis and the human personality. According to the paper, the psychological approach of Alfred Adler is even more relevant to today's societal climate. The paper discusses how Alder stressed the need for persons to find a sense of future-directed, goal-oriented and authentic self- hood, located in a larger societal community.
Outline:
Neurosis: The Modern Condition of Isolation and Dissatisfaction
Inferiority Complex
Therapeutic Approach
Conclusion
From the Paper
"In Adler's view, society can be a source of strength and comfort--but also provoke neurosis when the individual feels helpless and inferior, as a result of unresolved issues regarding agency, issues begun in childhood. Adler was interested in overcoming the inferiority complex through positive social interaction. "There are the four main types of people, three out of four are negative. The ruling type tries to control others. The getting type tends to be very passive and goes along with others ideas, rarely inventive. The avoiding types try to isolate themselves to avoid defeat, they are usually very cold. The socially useful type, values having control over their lives and strive to do good things for the sake of society."(Fischer, 2001) These persons have a secure sense of self, and becoming such a socially useful, happy, and secure person is the ultimate goal of Adlerian therapy."

?The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock", 2002.
A review of the poem, ?The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock", by T.S. Eliot.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines the poem, ?The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock", by T.S. Eliot. It shows how, by beginning the poem with a quote from ?Dante?s Inferno?, Eliot hints that Prufrock?s agony will be spiritual in nature, but he does not reveal that right away. It analyzes how J. Alfred Prufrock views his life as a kind of Hell on Earth, full of dirt created by mankind, and an unspoken agreement in society to make no note of it. It looks at how Eliot creates image after image that could have been beautiful, or at least intriguing, and casts them in an ugly, yellow light. It also shows how the poem contains images of modern society, overbuilt and in an ugly state, and how, with the combination of air pollution and fog, it gives a very negative result of the modernization of cities.
From the Paper
"He backs down. He goes through the social niceties, dressing well and following the conventions of the day, making polite small talk at tea, but is too cowardly to speak out when in polite company about the damage they are doing to God?s beautiful world. He sees this as a great sin, one he will have to atone for in the next life. The use of the word ?ices? is intriguing, because lemon ice is a common flavor, and that would bring the color yellow back into his admission that he is not willing to challenge society by bringing up issues they would rather not face. He hears people talk about the beauty of Michelangelo and listen to great music, but he does not hear them say ?Why has the fog turned yellow??"

T.S. Elliot's "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock", 2000.
A comparison of several of Emily Dickinson's poem's to "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock", by T. S. Eliot.

Abstract
The paper looks at the strong contrast between "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock" and the social commentary in Emily Dickinson?s poems, notably 67, 249, 254, 505, and 712. The uncertainties of social standing that plague the character J. Alfred Prufrock are contrasted with Dickinson's resolve of these issues in her own life. A distinction is also drawn between their outlook and view of themselves in society and their ultimate happiness. The paper proposes that Dickinson?s poems answer the questions Prufrock poses regarding his inability to take action.
From the Paper
"At the beginning of the poem, Prufrock shows the woman he is with a sunset, comparing it to ?a patient etherised upon a table? (3). This instantly creates an unsettling mood of social insecurities. Dickinson also uses ether as a metaphor, writing that she ?would rather be the One/ Raised softly to the Ceilings-/ And out, and easy on-/ Through Villages of Ether-? (505, 10-13). While Dickinson embraces this ethereal sleep, Prufrock eschews such intoxication. Prufrock?s sterile use of the word is indicative of his staid, passive lifestyle."

Alfred Hitchcock's "Psycho", 2007.
A review of Alfred Hitchcock's famous film "Psycho."
1,100 words (approx. 4.4 pages), 5 sources, MLA, AU$ 48.95
»

Abstract
This paper analyzes Alfred Hitchcock's masterpiece of suspense, the film "Psycho." The reviewer describes the innovations, taboos and transgressions that Hitchcock explored in this film. Additionally, the paper discusses the emotional states of fear and horror that the film inspired, and how Hitchcock enticed his audience by giving them just enough information to lure them into the world of the protagonist, Norman. The paper also discusses how Hitchcock promoted his film prior to its release. The reviewer concludes that in "Psycho," Alfred Hitchcock lured his audience into the forbidden, made them uncomfortable but at the same time made them enjoy the brief experience of unspoken transgressions as seen in the film.
From the Paper
" When Norman purposely gives Marion the key to room number 1 so he can watch her through a peephole in the office, Hitchcock is enticing the audience with another transgression, voyeurism. The audience is forced into this secret world, forced to participate in Norman's forbidden thrill as he watches her undress. Such scenes resulted in much criticism. For example, a letter to the New York Times claimed that Psycho was "deliberately calculated to stimulate the jaded appetites of the middle-aged and arouse the worst latent instincts of teen-agers," suggesting that the transgressions depicted might be contagious (Hendershot).

Abstract
The paper discusses the character of J. Alfred Prufrock in "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock". The paper portrays how Eliot's descriptions show Prufrock's personality. The paper highlights the symbolic presentation of Eliot's continual hopelessness in the poem.
From the Paper
"In T.S.Eliot's "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock" the poet introduces us J.Alfred Prufrock. He takes us into the inner chamber of that indecisive man through a different kind of monologue. In this particular kind of monologue the reader becomes the silent listener. This is not only a dramatic mologue but also a dialogue of Prufrock with his own soul. We can see that from the very begining of the poem; in the first line "Let us go, you I". Undeniably, "you and I" are the representatives of the body and the soul. The poet tells us he can start, "go" only when his body and soul come together and be the one. Initially we are not yet informed about what the poet is going to start or where he is going to go, however as we become familiar with Prufrock's personality we can infer the aim of Prufrock and so the poet."

Abstract
This paper reviews Alfred Hitchcock's film 'The Man Who Knew Too Much'. According to the paper, it was first released in the United Kingdom in December of 1934. It was not released to American audiences until March of the following year.

Producers, Michael Balcon and Ivor Montagu had the script prepared before Hitchcock agreed to take on the direction of the film. The paper further discusses how Hitchcock was said to have been given free reign over the direction of the film, although he was also given a small budget to complete the task. The cast for the film was recommended from varying sources. This included Peter Lorre, who was a German actor presented to Hitchcock through Sidney Bernstein.

Alfred Lord Tennyson's "Ulysses", 2007.

Abstract
This paper explains that Alfred Lord Tennyson's poem "Ulysses" is part of an epic elegy written in honor of Tennyson's beloved friend, Arthur Henry Hallam. The author points out that the poem suggests that even in old age, as one is weakened "by time and fate", one still should remain "strong in will/To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield." The paper relates that there is a tension in this poem between the past and present, between the sea and the land, between the glory of power and greatness and between life lived on the grand scale while traveling the world and the present smaller scale of peace and domesticity. The paper includes many embedded quotations.
From the Paper
"In many ways, the narrator of this poem is an inspiring figure. He is, as he acknowledges, one who "moved earth and heaven." He is also one who teaches us that obstacles, pain, loss, loneliness and death are part of life, but do not diminish life. "All times I have enjoyed/Greatly, have suffered greatly," he recalls, as if to embrace the entire warp and woof of experience. "Always roaming with a hungry heart...I am part of all that I have met," he reflects. Here he expresses a deep wisdom borne of a life fully lived, an understanding that all we experience becomes part of us."

"The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock", 2004.
A discussion on how T.S. Eliot uses setting to evoke mood in "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock".
1,829 words (approx. 7.3 pages), 0 sources, AU$ 73.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines the poem "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock" analyzes how Eliot uses setting very effectively. It investigates how every day life can be monotonous, repetitive and without meaning and how Prufrock wants to be able to experience passion and desire but is unable to do so because he feels frightened and self-conscious all the time. It shows how there is a continuous battle between his rational, public self and his real, genuine self and how he is divided.
From the Paper
"The second and third lines shock the reader because of their unusual imagery that would be out of place in a traditional love poem, describing the setting sunlit sky as looking ?like a patient etherised upon a table.? This ?etherised? outside world is the key to understanding all of Prufrock?s views; he is afraid of the increasingly industrialised and impersonal city surrounding him, and he is unsure of what to do and afraid to commit to any particular choice of action. Paralysis is the main theme of the poem. His ?love song? implies that he will never be himself outside the inferno of his own mind. This is especially seen in his indecisiveness of asking the ?overwhelming question?: ?Oh, do not ask, ?what is it?? Let us go and make our visit.? The first stanza then ends with an invitation by Prufrock to join him in his travels through a city that is growing increasingly modern, while Prufrock himself is afraid, or unable, to change with it."

?The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock?, 2004.
This paper discusses the use of symbolism in Thomas Stearns Eliot?s ?The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock? .

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that the focus of the symbolism used in T. S. Eliot?s ?The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock? is based on self-reflection. The author points out that Eliot?s dating experiences were riddled with failures, and thus, he became emotionally depressed and in a doubtful state. The paper relates that a critic believes that, once Eliot is put in a romantic role, Eliot see?s himself symbolizing a prophet; other critics say that Eliot uses symbolism to express himself as fearless, self-loathing, and difficult.
From the Paper
"On September 26, 1888 Thomas Stearns Eliot was born in St. Louis, Missouri. In 1906, Eliot decided to go to Harvard, an experience that would forever change his life. While in college, he read a book called ?The Symbolist Movement in Literature?. The book set him on the path to become a poet. It was after reading this book he decided to join the board for the Advocate, a Harvard literary magazine. In three years, Thomas Stearns Eliot graduated from Harvard and the next year he completed his master?s degree. During post graduation, Eliot went to Paris where he met Jean Verdenal, his inspiration for ?The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock?."
