From the Paper
"According to the Angelfire website, Lennon and McCartney are an unusually polarized songwriting team. The personal relationships that the Beatles shared were constantly changing. John Lennon was clearly the acknowledged leader. To begin with, Lennon had more of a vision of what the Beatles were about and what they could be. Lennon had a rebellious nature that asked provoking questions, confronted assumptions and societal norms and challenged authority. One could infer that when Lennon looked at himself and the world around him ... "

Abstract
In this article, the writer notes that John Lennon was born in Liverpool, England and he is arguably one of the greatest artists of all time. The writer points out that not only was Lennon one of the most influential musicians of his time, he was also a very influential anti-war activist during the Vietnam War. The writer studies the film, 'The U.S. Vs John Lennon', which documents Lennon's life with a particular focus on his anti-war efforts and how the U.S. government responded to these efforts. The writer maintains that the main point in 'The U.S. Vs John Lennon' was to show the lengths that the U.S. government was willing to take to attempt to silence Lennon in speaking out against the Vietnam War.
From the Paper
"In 1972, 18-year olds were given their first chance to vote. Lennon and his friends saw this as a perfect opportunity to hold anti-war protests in order to influence this new class of voters who happened to be the majority of his fan base. The idea was to influence people to vote against the Nixon administration and therefore bring someone else to power who would stop the war. A rock concert tour preaching peace was organized to coincide with the 1972 presidential election tour. Nixon and his administration were determined to not let this happen. In February 1972, a republican senator, Strom Thurmond had the idea that the government could deport Lennon back to England and therefore solve the problem. The majority of the film focuses on the various attempts to deport Lennon and therefore silence his anti-war preaching. The US Vs John Lennon DVD includes a number of outtakes which if included, would have given the film a different perspective."
"There are subtle hints within the film where the creators are attempting to compare the Nixon administration to the Bush administration."

Abstract
This essay reviews the events that followed the murder of John Lennon. There are three general areas of interest discussed. These are the facts surrounding the murder and the arrest and imprisonment of Marc David Chapman; the survivors of John Lennon (i.e., his sons and wife); and the status of the Lennon estate. This essay asserts that John Lennon has been excessively marketed and commodified since his death, and that music audiences are consumers of death as much as they are of music.

Abstract
This paper studies John Lennon, the former Beatles, from the perspective of the twelve archetypes outlined in the book "Awakening the Heroes Within" by Carol Pearson. By tracing the musician's life story -- from his humble beginnings as an orphan through his meteoric rise as a Beatles to his disillusion with fame -- the paper illuminates how Lennon embodied each of the archetypes at different points in his life. However, the author concludes that Lennon was most predominantly the "warrior" type. As the author says, Lennon's personal and professional life caused him a pain so deep that he either had to succumb to the pain or overcome it. By choosing to overcome it, he became a warrior.
From the Paper
"Before his life had even begun, John had been deserted twice, both times by his own parents. This factor in itself would create an overwhelming tendency for most of us to develop our "innocent" archetypes. An innocent archetype wants to remain in a safe place or situation and has an overwhelming fear of being abandoned. But in John's case, these early childhood experiences seemed to have toughened him up and prepared him for the future failures and fame he was to experience."

Abstract
This paper applies the personality theories of Karen Horney, Erik Erikson, Abraham Maslow, and Gordon Allport to the life of John Lennon. The author gives a detailed analysis of the development stages of each theory, how they apply to John Lennon and how they are used to explain, understand as well as predict behavior.
From the Paper
"Personality is the term used to describe the enduring, stable characteristics of our lives as they are perceived by ourselves and others (Schultz, D. & Schultz, S.,2001). It is consistent throughout our lifetime and across varying situations, and is the driving force behind all our decisions and actions. Formal personality theories are created by psychologists, and are used to explain and understand behavior, as well as predict it. Useful personality theories should be able to be tested, and the results should be used to accept or reject parts of the theory. The best way to test a personality theory is to apply it to a real person, someone who has gone through all the proposed stages or sections of the theory, to see if the components of the theory hold true in real life. A good theory should provide explanations for the various actions and choices that a person has made in their life, a poor theory would leave these questions unanswered."

Bennett and Lennon on Locke, 2008.
A comparison of the views of Jonathan Bennett and Thomas Lennon, concerning John Locke's conception of ideas and qualities.
1,230 words (approx. 4.9 pages), 3 sources, MLA, AU$ 60.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines how John Locke's distinction between ideas and qualities, outlined in his "An Essay Concerning Human Understanding", would become a point of contention between Jonathan Bennett and Thomas Lennon. In particular, the paper takes a look at Bennet's book "Learning from Six Philosophers" and Lennon's critical article "Bennett on Ideas and Qualities in Locke's Essay". The paper concludes that Locke can be confusing at times because the distinction between ideas and qualities is not always clearly drawn in the text, but the ideas are more clear when closely examined by later thinkers.
From the Paper
"In 1996, Jonathan Bennett offered his own version of a standard objection raised against Locke, that the distinction between ideas and qualities is ill-formed and exposes a fundamental confusion about ideas and qualities that runs throughout Locke's An Essay Concerning Human Understanding. Bennett says that Locke tends to use the word "idea" to mean "quality." Bennett also says that the distinction is intended to be clear and that Locke addresses it by stating that whatever the mind perceives in itself is an idea, while qualities are those "ideas" that are produced I the mind by sensation of the object and quality in question. Locke uses a snowball as an example and says the snowball itself produces the ideas of white, cold, and round. These are qualities because they are ideas that are in the snowball and then imparted to the mind as the mind experiences the snowball."

From the Paper
"John Lennon (1940-1980) and Tupac Shakur (1971-1996) had a number of things in common and a comparison of their thought reveals that what appear to be the greatest differences between them are, in fact, rather similar responses to the world's social problems. Both were artists who achieved enormous early success and were murdered when they were quite young. Both protested, to some degree, the conditions of society and urged their legions of fans to look more carefully at what they were being told by the dominant forces in society. But neither man ever achieved his full potential in terms of what he could do to change the world for the better because each was torn by a high level of ambiguity over the possibility of genuine change and because neither saw himself as a leader. Each of these artists became somewhat trapped by his own success and although there was a great deal to.."

The Beatles.
This paper discusses the Beatles, the most influential artists in the music format of rock and roll.
850 words (approx. 3.4 pages), 3 sources, MLA, AU$ 44.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that the origin of the Beatles was the union of Paul McCartney and John Lennon in a band called "The Quarry Men," later to be joined by George Harrison, and finally, Ringo Starr. The author points out that Beatlemania began after an appearance on "The Ed Sullivan Show" in 1964, and, the following year, the Beatles were made "Members of the Order of the British Empire," an award honoring those who are deserving either for achievement or service to the country. The paper relates that, at the top of their career, the Beatles began to unravel upon the death of their manager, Brian Epstein; the stress of fame and fortune was beginning to show on the group and, in 1969, "Abbey Road" was their last album to be recorded.
From the Paper
"Rock and roll has created a culture like no other form of music ever before experienced on this planet. It has permeated through cultures so diverse that one would think they would never have anything in common. Yet, rock and roll knows geographic boundaries. It knows no language barriers. And, it knows truly no age restrictions. Rock and roll has become more universal then any other music form ever developed."

Abstract
This paper examines and analyzes the poem "I Sat Belonely" by John Lennon. It describes form and verse and studies the use of simile and metaphor throughout the poem. The paper also notes Lennon's use of irregular rhyme scheme, similar to that of Dr. Seuss, and his intention to direct his work toward children. The author of the paper shows that this was a clever way of immortalizing Lennon's literature.
From the Paper
"In the poem ?I sat belonely? the general rhyme pattern is that of standard crossed rhyme. John Lennon, the author wrote this entire sonnet in crossed rhyme with six quatrains which resembles an English sonnet except for the fact that it is twenty-four lines in length and does not end in a couplet. All six stanzas are iambic tetrameter, the first stanza has end stop on the first, second, and fourth lines with enjambment on the third line. The second stanza is crossed rhyme showing end-stop in all four lines with a caesura in line three. The third stanza also has end-stop punctuation throughout all four lines."

Abstract
In this article the writer offers a thematic comparison of Tim O'Brien's 'The Things They Carried' and Jon Wiener's 'Come Together: John Lennon in His Time'. The comparison focuses on the conflicting emotions and views of America during the 1960s and 1970's. The writer includes the common search for a utopia by O'Brien and Lennon that was never forthcoming.
From the Paper
"There are many connections between Tim O'Brien's autobiographical account of his service in Vietnam 'The Things They Carried' and Jon Wiener's assessment of the political and musical contributions of John Lennon, 'Come Together'. The books share many thematic similarities from an anti-war sentiment to the complexities of life. However, if there is one common theme between the two works that is most prevalent it is both O'Brien's and Lennon's tireless search for utopia, a utopia that neither is able to achieve in ... "

Abstract
In this article, the writer introduces, discusses and analyzes the song "Imagine" by John Lennon. Specifically, it explores this music's effect on the social, political and economic conditions of the time. The writer points out that some pieces of music just simply define a generation, place and time. Further, the writer notes that when one hears songs such as "Imagine", they bring back memories, nostalgia and strong feelings, no matter how old the music is. "Imagine" by John Lennon is one of those songs that has already long outlived its composer. The writer concludes that it is a song of hope, peace and reflection and that nothing could define the 1970s more than such music.
From the Paper
"Perhaps the most controversial version was performed recently at the 2006 Winter Olympics in Torino during the opening ceremonies. Yoko Ono read some of the lyrics, and then Peter Gabriel performed the piece. It was a haunting and touching moment that came under fire from critics because of the "political" overtones they felt it held. Frankly, the idea of singing about peace and world unity during an event where the world gets together to compete seemed like a perfect marriage to many others, including this viewer."
"It is hard to "imagine" any other song with quite the world impact of this one. Socially and politically, it became an instant classic nearly as soon as Lennon released it. Today, people remember it as an anthem of the 1970s, a time of unrest due to the Vietnam War and changing values in American society. Living together in peace was a universal message even then, and the song has spread around the world."

"Imagine", 2007.
This paper analyzes the song "Imagine" by John Lennon.
1,016 words (approx. 4.1 pages), 1 source, MLA, AU$ 51.95

Abstract
The paper discusses the imagery, metaphor, sound, tone and words used in the song. The paper discusses how John Lennon's song about world peace represents his own hopes and dreams for the future and hope for all humanity. The paper explains that Lennon captured the essence of the peace movement in the 1960s and 1970s in the song. The paper reveals that it remains one of his most enduring and best-loved songs.
From the Paper
""Imagine" is full of vivid imagery. Lennon wants the listener to imagine a better world, and the words bring out that image in the mind. He writes, "Imagine there's no countries / It isn't hard to do / Nothing to kill or die for / And no religion too / Imagine all the people / Living life in peace..." (Lennon). The imagery of the poem is in its ability to allow the listener to imagine and visualize these things, and what they would mean for the world. If all the people could "live life in peace," life would be much different for a majority of people in the world. Imagine what that would be like, to have true peace around the globe. It is a tantalizing picture, and a vivid image that the song brings to mind."

Abstract
This paper discusses the more significant events that toook place in 1980 and their impact on society. The paper lists several major events but focusses on Mt. St. Helens blowing her top, American soldiers colliding in the air over Iraq, America's withdrawal from the Olympics, and the tragic murder of John Lennon.
From the Paper
"Just as Mt. St. Helens was considering blowing, Jimmy Carter declared that American athletes would not be allowed to compete in the Summer Olympics. Apparently, this was because the the Olympics were being held in the USSR, which had recently "invaded" Afghanistan (they would have said "liberated"). However, on March 14th the Olympic boxing team had been killed in a plane crash in Europe. (Mondout) The Olympics committee protested this combination of politics with pure sport, as did the American athletes, many of whom were serious contenders for the gold and risked missing their peak by waiting another four years to compete. Carter would be punished for this choice both by seeing Russia winning about one third of the total medals and having won the moral upperhand in the eyes of sports lovers everywhere. (Wikipedia)"
