Abstract
In this article, the writer notes that criticizing film is a very recent phenomenon, and potential critics are testing all possible avenues of criticism and methods of analysis. The writer discusses that Laura Mulvery tried, in her essay 'Visual Pleasure and Narrative Cinema', to base a feminist analysis of film in Sigmund Freud's theories of penis envy and sexual deviation. The writer relates that the problem of analyzing the film "Some Like it Hot" in relation to Laura Mulvey's writing is that she does not prove her point very well in her essay. The writer concludes that this essay does not claim that narrative film has had no effect upon perpetuating anti-feminist attitudes, but maintains that when people become aware through media literacy, it has little effect.
From the Paper
"Ultimately, the creator(s) of the narrative, whether in a book, a poem or any other medium, will both mirror and attempt to modify the culture of their audience. The techniques used by directors and cinematographers enhance the narrative messages and themes, but are not responsible for them unless the messages and themes of the visual form of the film are in direct opposition to those of the narrative. In this sort of case, which is very rare, the audience may leave with many different impressions, according to the baggage they bring with them (Rosenblatt 1935), and how they viewed the film, as in paying more attention the narratives of either the visuals or the text. One possible example of this technique is the film "Apocalypse Now", directed by Francis Ford Cuppola, where Cuppola often had visuals on the screen which contradicted the text, in addition to using camera angles, frames and other cinematographic techniques to negate the message of the text."

Hot Dog! a History
This is a research paper written about the history and reputation of the hot dog. It discusses the origin of the hot dog, origin of the word hot dog, and discusses various aspects and impacts of the hot dog's existence in today's American culture.
From the Paper
"Although hot dogs originated in Germany, hot dogs are still as American as apple pie. Hot dogs are one of the oldest forms of processed food, having been mentioned in Homer's Odyssey as far back as the 9th Century B.C. (Jackson) At first glance one might think that the Hot Dog has a rather dry history. Upon prying into the archives and prying into the taste buds of the masses, I discovered the hot dogs meaty and controversial history and prominent present gives people plenty to say about the 500 year old dog."

From the Paper
"Every year more than 300 people die of heat-related illnesses and many others require medical attention, according to a CDC report. Often those who experience exertional heat illness are athletes who are taking part in physical activity in a warm or hot environment, who might benefit from early on-site identification of their condition and timely, appropriate treatment. Noting that many cases of heat illness are preventable and others can be treated, the National Athletic Trainers' Association (NATA) recently issued a new consensus statement from the Inter-Association Task Force on Exertional Heat Illnesses that features guidelines for effective prevention and management. (NATA 2003)."

Laura Wingfield, 2002.
A character analysis of Laura Wingfield from Tennessee Williams' play "The Glass Menagerie."
1,067 words (approx. 4.3 pages), 1 source, MLA, AU$ 54.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper shows that in "The Glass Menagerie" by Tennessee Williams, symbolism is used to describe the character development of Laura Wingfield. It describes how the use of symbolism in this play reveals deeper aspects of Laura?s persona and her relationships with the outside world. The symbols that describe Laura?s development through "The Glass Menagerie" include the fire escape, the glass menagerie and the unicorn.
From the Paper
"Fire escapes are typically used as a means of escaping danger such as a fire. That is, people use the fire escape as a way out of a dangerous or unwanted situation. In contrast, Laura used the fire escape as a means of connecting to the outside world. Because Laura is an extremely shy girl, she is more comfortable staying at home attentively caring for her glass menagerie and playing her victrola. By staying in her safe world, she is able to deny the realities of the outer world such as marriage or career. For example, Jim, the gentleman caller, symbolizes the outside world. It is symbolic that Laura does not want to open the door when Jim arrives. She does not want the outside world coming into the safe world she created in her apartment. She even becomes sick with the thought of opening the door and allowing Jim into her home."

Abstract
This paper analyzes the lead character, Laura. It draws metaphoric comparisons between Laura and her collection of glass animals. Laura is portrayed as a relatively silent character, with the least lines in the play, however she is the only family member who is capable of keeping the family together.
From the Paper
"The menagerie and Laura are symbolic of each other. Laura loves the delicate glass ornaments, and they are fragile, just like she is. The unicorn loses its horn, and is now less than perfect, just like Laura and her handicap. She is also just as odd as a unicorn, which is a mythical creature, and Laura is just as unusual and odd."

Freud and Tennessee Williams' "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof", 2007.
This paper analyzes Sigmund Freud's "The Interpretation of Dreams" and "Three Essays on the Theory of Sexuality" and then applies these theories to a psychoanalytical reading of Tennessee Williams' "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof".

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper argues that Sigmund Freud's psychoanalytic concepts illustrated in "The Interpretation of Dreams" and "Three Essays on the Theory of Sexuality", which examine the discipline of dreams and sexuality, their implications and inner mechanisms, are significant tools for interpreting human behavior and intrinsic to learning critical theory. The author points out that, nonetheless, these theories are not strictly scientific, are not free from the taint of Freud's gross generalizations and sometimes represent his chauvinistic mindset. The author then uses these tools to disect Tennessee Williams' "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof" and in doing so, aligns himself with both critics who stress the inherent nature of Freud's theories in Tennessee Williams' "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof" as well as with the critics who assert that examining the play from a strictly psychoanalytic perspective can limit and compartmentalize certain of its dramatic elements and themes. The paper includes many quotations.
From the Paper
"The theories in "Interpretation" are linked to ideas presented in "Three Essays on the Theory of Sexuality", which is considered an equally prominent and definitive publication in Freud's career. Although "Three Essays" does not include case studies, it also closely examines the nature of sexuality, which begins in early childhood and, like the nature of dreams, is ridden with angst and hidden meanings. According to Freud, sexuality is the driving force for repression, neurosis, and hysteria. One exemplary concept is castration anxiety, an idea involving a deep-rooted fear originating from the phallic stage in young men."

"The Hot Zone", 2004.
Book review of "The Hot Zone" by Richard Preston.

Abstract
This paper points out the weaknesses and the strengths of Richard Preston's book about emerging infectious diseases. The paper points out that "The Hot Zone" provides mainstream audiences with an effective introduction to modern emerging infectious diseases, but sometimes, the novel's serious inaccuracies and exaggerations damage a complex public understanding of the topic.
From the Paper
"The Hot Zone, by Richard Preston, improves mainstream audience's understanding of emerging infectious disease, and yet damages the positive impact of this exposure by introducing known inaccuracies and exaggerations. Preston's book is largely well-written, entertaining, and accessible. While much of the book is well-researched and scientifically accurate, inaccuracies include Preston's claim that a single mutation may cause Ebola to mutate into a much more infectious airborne agent, sensationalism about the importance of the Ebola virus, ethical judgments about the emergence of rainforest viruses, and a misleading representation of viruses as predators. Despite these inaccuracies, The Hot Zone is important to public science education as a way to introduce readers to concepts within the field of emerging diseases. From this point, scientists can use The Hot Zone as a springboard to introducing other concepts within the field of emerging diseases. Ultimately, while inaccuracies and sensationalism damage the public's understanding of the topic of emerging diseases, The Hot Zone, provides mainstream audiences with an effective introduction to modern emerging infectious disease."

Ann Laura Stoler's "Carnal Knowledge and Imperial Power", 2005.
This paper reviews the history book "Carnal Knowledge and Imperial Power" by Ann Laura Stoler.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that the argument of Ann Laura Stoler's "Carnal Knowledge and Imperial Power" is that the relationships between colonizers and the colonizer were actually very complicated. The author points out that the relationship between colonizers and the colonized has traditionally been seen as a relatively straightforward relationship; however, recent investigations into the relationships between colonizers and the colonized indicate that these relationships were far more complicated then ever imagined. The paper relates that these boundaries between the groups were often blurred due to sexual relationships.
From the Paper
"Colonialism has always been a topic of interest to historians, anthropologists and sociologists. The relationship between colonizers and the colonized has traditionally been seen as a relatively straightforward relationship. However, recent investigations into the relationships between colonizers and the colonized indicate that these relationships were far more complicated then ever imagined. Carnal Knowledge and Imperial Power by Ann Laura Stoler explores the relationships that developed between colonizes and the colonized. Stoler suggests that the relationships between colonizers and the colonized were actually far more complicated then were originally thought."

Abstract
In this book review the writer offers an introduction and discussion of the book ?Red-Hot and Righteous by Diane Winston. It begins by giving an overview of the book and assessing what message Winston intended to give her readers. The review highlights the themes that the author covers such as the Salvation Army?s history, background and rise to greatness. In the conclusion the writer explores that while the book is an effective review of the Salvation Army, it does not continue up to the present day and therefore is not as comprehensive as it could have been.
From the Paper
"Red-Hot and Righteous" tells the story of the Salvation Army from its inception to 1950. They called it the "Cathedral of the Open Air," and it worked nowhere better than in New York City. The first representatives of the Army, which began in England in the 1860s, arrived in New York in 1880. "At home in England, the Army's novel methods, including loud parades, female preachers, and hymns set to popular tunes, were attacked not only in the press but also in the streets" (Winston 10). The army's members were "men and women mostly belonging to the working class" (Winston 13), who had joined the army, found religion, and were now saved from "immorality and ruffianism."

"The Hot House", 2005.
This paper discusses the concepts of American criminal justice as illustrated in Pete Earley's book "The Hot House: Life inside Leavenworth Prison".
1,500 words (approx. 6.0 pages), 1 source, MLA, AU$ 71.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that, to write "The Hot House: Life inside Leavenworth Prison", Pete Earley was given complete access into one of the most secure prisons in the U.S. where he gained insight into prison life because he was trusted by many inmates, many guards (correctional officers) and the warden of Leavenworth Prison. The author points out the problems of race and inequality within the prison, such as frequent race wars between inmates, which are seldom addressed by prison officials. The paper relates one of the underlying concepts of criminal justice called 'prison paradox', which is that the goal of prison is to punish and rehabilitate, but offenders are coming out of prison worse than when they went in by becoming hardened criminals who are unable to function in society.
From the Paper
"Matthews, though aware of the prejudices, does not seem to be worried about them. When confronted with the idea that the Aryan Brotherhood (AB) was after his life, he barely batted an eyelash. Instead, Warden Matthews went right to the source and asked AB members if they had any problems - to which they responded that they did not and the threat of death disappeared (Earley, 84-87). The racial tension was also clear between warden and guards. In Chapter 17, Warden Matthews is approached with a request for a memorial to a late prison lieutenant, Shoats."

Abstract
This paper discusses Richard Preston's book, "The Hot Zone," in which he recounts a story about a laboratory accident and its aftermath. The paper discusses the ethical issues that surround the laboratory incident, such as the need to inform the public. It goes on to describe possible connections that can be made to current events and the ethical dilemmas that may surround them.
From the Paper
"Concern about ethical treatment in medical matters had been increasing for some time after the revelation of the Tuskegee experiment in which the medical establishment and the government in the 1930s had treated a group of black men in the South for syphilis, giving some a placebo rather than actual treatment and never telling the subjects what they were doing. When details of this experiment surfaced in the 1970s, many first accepted the argument that the cure was as bad as the disease. It soon became clear that this experiment actually took advantage of people who were poor, black, uneducated, and trusting. Analysts have noted how genocide is evoked by the Tuskegee experiment, and some made reference to the Nazi experiments on human subjects during World War II, which had been condemned by the civilized world at the Nuremberg Trials. Other explanations have also been cited, notably with regard to racial differences, to explain how medical personnel could be part of such a breach of ethics."

Abstract
This theory holds that athletes have 'streaks' and that a basketball player who has just scored is more likely to also hit his next shot. This contradicts hypothetical statistical probabilities but is supported by folklore. However, statistical analysis undermines the claim that the phenomenon exists.

Laura's Path in "Delta Wedding" by Eudora Welty, 2000.
This essay details the emotional path Laura travels as she grows into her new family, and gives insight to her future at the Fairchilds' plantation.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
From the Paper
"It is with the perceptions of nine-year-old Laura McRaven that the reader most closely associates with when reading Eudora Welty?s southern masterpiece, Delta Wedding, as the confusion caused by the often hard to follow storyline parallels the confusion Laura faces as she enters a new phase of her life. Although she is not a major character throughout most of the novel, as a bookends figure, it is Laura with whom the reader builds the closest relationship. It is at the same time as Laura that we are thrust onto the Delta and into the almost mythical world of the Fairchilds at their plantation. As with many situations in this work, Laura?s fate is left unresolved as the novel concludes. However, throughout the story, during everyday life at Shellmound, the reader is able to gather a keen sense of personality in each character and as such, piece together clues that yield a vision of Laura?s future.

He only intended to stay long enough to do some yard work and make some pocket money, but he ends up becoming the overseer of the plantation, and inherits it when they die. He loves the "twenty-eight thousand acres of the richest land this side of the valley Nile," and he is determined it will stay with Brick, who he thinks is the better and more deserving of his two sons."
