"WILDLIFE CONSERVATION AT THE ROCKY MOUNTAIN ARSENAL
Introduction
Rocky Mountain Arsenal was a United States Army industrial site used as a production facility for chemical weapons, nerve gas, and artillery shells. The facility was leased later to a private sector firm that used the facility to produce a commercial pesticide. The Arsenal site was contaminated with hazardous chemicals as a consequence of both the governmental and the private sector activities.
The United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) acquired Rocky Mountain Arsenal and manages the site as a wildlife refuge. The Arsenal has been designated as a ?Superfund? site for cleanup action.

Abstract
This paper reviews Tracey Kidder's novel, "Mountains Beyond Mountains". The paper discusses questions posed in the book and in so doing, analyzes Kidder's views, as presented in the book. The essay draws heavily upon the Kidder work itself. It discusses, in detail, underlying conditions in developing countries and in Haiti in particular.
From the Paper
"Much like a radio wave, life is a series of repeating peaks and troughs, a succession of failure and success. Tracey Kidder's, Mountains Beyond Mountains is an appropriate adaptation of the Haitian proverb, "-beyond mountains there are mountains." Much like the radio wave metaphor, this proverb elicits a multitude of interpretations, including, as Kidder explains in an interview, "sometimes it's used to express the idea that opportunities are inexhaustible, and sometimes as a way of saying that when you surmount one great obstacle you merely gain a clear view of the next one." In the context of the culture it comes from, this proverb is an important aspect of why Paul Farmer has dedicated his life to insurmountable challenges, only to affect change and lives, no matter what the magnitude."

From the Paper
"Unfortunately, as with many laws, the Highway Beautification legislation was not tight enough to keep the large concerns from moving through the loop holes, and the small concerns, as those along Route 66, to suffer the consequence. Time went on, and the number of billboards continued to grow. Today, the billboard blight is worse in some states than others and environmental groups actively work together to keep additional laws from making matters worse."

"The Diary of Lady Murasaki", 2005.

Abstract
In examining "The Diary of Lady Murasaki", this paper analyzes the relationship between men and women as seen during the Heian Period in Japan, and Murasaki's observations of life on the court.
From the Paper
"The Japanese at the Heian court began to develop a culture that was independent from the Chinese culture that had formed the cultural life of imperial Japan up until then (Ebrey, 193). Since Chinese writing was adapted to an entirely different language, the Japanese began their own writing system. They also developed a court culture with values and concepts uniquely different from imperial China (Johnson, Oct. 24, 2005). This culture was largely among the women's communities at court and reached their peak by Lady Murasaki. The Diary of Lady Murasaki is a historical document that marks a turning point in women's history. During the Heian period it was considered inappropriate for a woman to know how to write in Chinese and was reserved for men. Regardless, women went on to write poems, prose, and dairies, thus proving to the males that they were capable of writing."

Lady Murasaki's "Court Diary", 2005.
This paper reviews Lady Murasaki's "Court Diary", a lady in waiting in the court of the Japanese court from 1007 to 1010 A.D., which discusses the social and cultural influence of Confucianism and Buddhism on ancient Japan.

Abstract
This paper explains that Lady Murasaki wrote her "Court Diary during the period in which Bushido was a code and way of life for Samurai men and was influenced by Zen and Confucianism. The author points out that in Lady Murasaki's "Court Diary", it is obvious that Buddhism and Buddhist metaphysics are very much a part of Japanese court life; however, what is not so obvious is that Chinese Confucianism also had become part of 10th century Japan's Imperial court. The paper relates that the notion of impermanence is an extremely salient characteristic throughout the Diary; she writes that all things are ephemeral, reflecting on the aesthetics of the period, which were based on the beauty of impermanence.
From the Paper
"Confucianism influenced the Chinese attitude toward life, set the patterns of living and standards of social value, and provided the background for Chinese political theories and institutions. It eventually spread from China to Korea, from Korea to Japan where it was first brought to around the fifth century. Confucius had a great impact on the Japanese civilization. His teachings relating to ethics, honor, social responsibility, familial obligations, ancestor worship, and observation of rites and historical precedence provide the glue that gives the Japanese civilization continuity and durability."

Abstract
This paper examines how Southern California is dotted with several mountain ranges, including the San Gabriel, San Bernardino, San Jacinto, San Bruno, Santa Rosa, Cuyamaca, the Palomar Mountains, and even the Chocolate Mountains. It provides an overview of the ecosystems in these mountain ranges in general, with an emphasis on the San Gabriel mountain range in particular, what species are endangered within these ecosystems and why, followed by an assessment of what is being done to correct the problem and protect endangered species in these regions. A summary of the research is provided in the conclusion.
From the Paper
"This southern California mountain range is something of a geographic interruption to the region, since they surge from the Sonoran desert at sea level to sub-alpine forest areas that are 10,800 feet above. The range ascends through more than six life zones: ?It's remarkable that there's so much wild land there surrounded by development on all sides,? reported Jay Watson, California/Nevada regional director for The Wilderness Society. ?There are mountain lions, coyotes, bobcats, and endangered peninsular bighorn sheep, creatures sturdy enough to clamber up cliff faces, yet vulnerable to golf courses and housing tracts creeping up the foothills? (Sullivan-Brennan 2004:56). In addition, there are numerous reptiles in this system; for instance, there are three kinds of rattlesnakes, endangered desert tortoise, and the southern rubber boa."

Psychoanalysis of Lady Macbeth, 2002.

Abstract
A paper which focuses on the psychological aspects of dreams and psychoanalysis in order to make sense of Lady Macbeth's actions. The author of this paper examines how Lady Macbeth turns from a single-minded, ambitious, unforgiving murderer to a guilty, sleepwalking, absent-minded mess. The author delves into instances from the text that suggest what Lady Macbeth was going through at the time and shows how, psychologically, Sigmund Freud?s theory of psychoanalysis would be suited best to find the reasoning behind Lady Macbeth?s metamorphosis.
From the Paper
"In order to make any headway into this subject, an overview of Freud?s psychoanalytical theory is needed. Psychoanalysis is a theory that derives on the idea that the unconscious mind is driven by the sexual urges and primal instinct of man (Quigley 2). One of the most significant points in this theory is the idea that our inborn desires are governed by three separate entities designated as the Id, the Ego, and the Superego (Quigley 3). The Id is the part of the unconscious mind that contains the sexual, instinctive urges of man (Quigley 3). The Superego is the unconscious purveyor of the internalized rules of society; better known as the cautious part of the mind (Quigley 3). The Ego, on the other hand, is the medium between the Id and the Superego; the Ego takes the primal urge under advisement, brings the Superego into the equation, and comes to an eventual compromise between the two (Quigley 3)."

"Lady Chatterley's Lover", 2002.
A review of "Lady Chatterley's Lover" by D.H. Lawrence.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines the controversial book "Lady Chatterley's Lover" by D.H. Lawrence which is full of social, political and cultural implications. It looks at how, by focusing on the forbidden relationship between Lady Connie Chatterley and Oliver Mellors, Lawrence reveals a great deal about the structure and politics of post-war society. It discusses how although the main theme of the book is love, the unproductiveness, inhumanity and ugliness of life in a local mining community play a large role and how the political elements of the book are clearly demonstrated by Lady Chatterley's life in a society devoted to making money.
From the Paper
"The Chatterleys' marriage was main theme in the story, as society unfairly viewed its failure as the fault of Lady Chatterley, who had a difficult time maintaining a relationship with a husband who was half paralyzed and half crazy. She looks to Mellors to make her feel alive again. However, the prosecution fails to realize that the couple is building a strong relationship that has a good chance of leading to a successful marriage. They can only point finders and accuse the couple of immorality."

?Lady Lazarus?, 2002.
An examination of the theme of social deviance and intolerance of difference in ?Lady Lazarus? by Sylvia Plath.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses how Sylvia Plath?s poetry mostly portrays the theme of social deviance and society?s intolerance to differences portrayed by individuals, especially women. It shows how the poem, "Lady Lazarus", in particular, illustrates these themes. It looks at how the poem uses a character named Lady Lazarus in order to illustrate to the audience the effects of the marginalization of women in a repressive society. It examines how the poem is divided into two phases: the first, the establishment of Lady Lazarus?s condition and apparent insanity, while the second phase is more complex, since there are numerous implied meanings embedded that show the duplicity of the woman?s character.
From the Paper
"Lines 74-78 shows symbolisms used to illustrate social status, which Lady Lazarus shuns: ?You poke and stir/ Flesh, bone, there is nothing there--/ A cake of soap/ A wedding ring/ A gold filling.? In this passage, the character shows how social statutes determined in the society is meaningless, represented by material wealth that is but trivial to the true meaning of life. Plath displays antagonism in her society by addressing individuals as ?Herr Doktor,? ?Herr Enemy,? ?Herr God,? and ?Herr Lucifer.? The use of ?Herr? in the poem reflects the evil character of the Nazis; thus, using this form of address shows Lady Lazarus? perception that the people in her society are no different from the Nazis."

Abstract
Anton Chekhov?s short story, entitled, ?The Lady with the Dog,? is a love story between the two main characters, Dmitri Gurov and Anna Sergeyevna. The writer looks at the struggle that they experience as they try to prevent their affair from happening, especially since they are already married and have their own respective families to live with. The writer explains that in addition to their love story, the primary focus of the story is the illustration of the development of Dmitri Gurov?s character. It shows how Dmitri?s development as the main character in the story can be illustrated through a study and analysis of his life and outlook in life before, during and after he met Anna Sergeyevna, referred to in the story as the ?lady with the dog.?
From the Paper
"The first analysis of Dmitri Gurov?s character can be seen in his life before he met Anna, and this is found in Chapter 1 of the story. Dmitri Gurov is introduced in the story as an already married man, and has one daughter and two sons from his marriage. Dmitri?s life is full of treachery and boredom, mainly because he lives with a woman whom he does not love, and has a profession which he does not want to practice (Dmitri was interested in the arts, but has been given a job at a bank instead). The following passage from the short story illustrates how Dmitri?s life can be described as ?lifeless,? as if Dmitri had no life to live at all. Chekhov tells his readers: ?In the society of men he was bored and not himself, with them he was cold and uncommunicative; but when he was in the company of women he felt free? ? but Chekhov also tells his readers that Dmitri ?? every intimacy, which at first so agreeably diversifies life and appears a light and charming adventure, inevitably grows into a regular problem of extreme intricacy, and in the long run the situation becomes unbearable.? These passages tells us that before meeting with Anna, Dmitri is a bored man who finds relief from boredom through adultery, but his relationship with other women also becomes ?unbearable? for him, since Dmitri seem to look at women as ?temporary relief? from his dreary and boring life. Thus, Dmitri Gurov is shown as an irresolute and heartless man who finds women as mere commodities to suit his need to experience fun and excitement in life, and to boost his deflated ego and pride as a result of his living with an ?unbearable? woman, his wife."

Tennyson?s ?The Lady of Shalott?, 2004.
This paper discusses the connection between diligence and complacency in Alfred Lord Tennyson?s ?The Lady of Shalott?.
1,060 words (approx. 4.2 pages), 1 source, MLA, AU$ 54.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that ?The Lady of Shalott? is narrative poetry in the form of a ballad, which displays a central theme of diligence in occupation in opposition to the theme of complacence and relaxation. The author points out that the Lady of Shalott represents a person who is wholly engrossed in her occupation; whereas Lancelot and the people of Camelot represent complacency and relaxation. The paper relates that Tennyson expresses the relationship between diligence and relaxation through his use of imagery, symbolism, and action.
From the Paper
"Imagery plays a crucial role in ?The Lady of Shalott.? Shalott is an island; singular in its position, The Lady of Shalott is a woman whom is also singular in her position since she is constant in her loom work, and she is isolated like the island itself. The Lady is embowered in ?four gray walls and four gray towers? that look upon a field of lilies. The image of gray walls and towers imparts a feeling of a dreary, monotonous routine, and the lilies of purity and a pallid existence. The weaving however, a result of The Lady?s occupation, is ?a magic web with colours gay.? The connection that The Lady has with the outside world, her mirror, presents her with shadows, a perception of only images and shapes, devoid of soul and thought, mere pictures to her."
