Abstract
This paper is written by the author as the associate reporting his or her legal research to the senior partners about the client Paula Tall, a licensed physical therapist at physical rehabilitation resort, who was assigned to do therapeutic work with a famous athlete. The author reports that, after two days of therapy, the athlete offered Ms. Tall a contract for a job as his personal therapist, which she accepted. The paper continues to relate the facts of an inconsistent report of rape and her subsequent firings. The author presents questions and answers to (1) what crimes, if any, might the famous athlete be charged with and the prospects for conviction, (2) what actions in tort might be brought against him and the prospects for recovery and (3) whether the "contract" which he gave to Ms. Tall is enforceable and to what extent. The paper includes an extensive discussion of cases relating to the author's research.

From the Paper
"There is no requirement that the victim of a sexual assault resist. The Texas statute defining criminal sexual assault focuses the fact that the victim is compelled, not her resistance. Hernandez v. State, 804 S.W.2d 168 (Tex. App. 1991). Further, consent must be given freely. If consent was produced by a threat against the victim, consent is negated, and the resulting act remains a criminal sexual assault. Cavazos v. State, 668 S.W.2d 435 (Tex. Crim. App. 1984). Further, in evaluating the validity of consent, the relative strength of the parties can be considered."

Film: "Walking Tall", 2008.
Evaluates the film "Walking Tall" as a Jesus narrative.

Abstract
This paper begins by stating that some attempts to find the story of Christ in virtually every medium strains the contention beyond credulity. The author then tells the story of the film "Walking Tall" and attempts to relate it to segments of the New Testament. The paper points out that the film is a retelling of the Jesus narrative only in the loosest sense and that there is only token acknowledgment of the downtrodden, the outcast and the poor and there are no parables or no lessons. The paper concludes that, while many films can be seen as retellings of the Jesus narrative, "Walking Tall" is not such a film.
From the Paper
"Vaughn then goes to Jay's mill, where he is momentarily tricked onto a trap door. When this opens, he hangs as if crucified, but manages to escape, leading Jay into a climactic fight of fire-ax against crude club. Eventually Vaughn beats Jay, delivers a final, emasculating blow (compare Matthew 5:38-45 [turn the other cheek]), and announces proudly, "This is my town. You're under arrest." The movie ends with Vaughn and Ray making anti-gay jokes about Jay, while Vaughn basks in his unexplained but clearly miraculous accomplishment."

"Paula", 2002.
A look at the themes of memory and identity in the book "Paula" by Isabel Allende.

Abstract
This essay is a book review of "Paula" by Isabel Allende (Harper Collins 1994). The author proposes that Allende's earnest 'letter' to her comatose daughter, Paula, is a highly textured memoir, which explores the links between memory and the search for identity. The book documents Allende's recovery of the memories of her life and thereby the creation of an identity for herself and her daughter. The novel is engaging both as a highly personal record of a mother's struggle for hope for her lifeless daughter, and as a political statement against the subjugation of immigrant women. Drawing on her background as a journalist, Allende maintains a sober and factual tone to reveal the difficulties faced by a woman often displaced in foreign cultures.

Paula Scher, 2006.
An examination of the exemplification of Post-Modernism in the art of Paula Scher.
1,191 words (approx. 4.8 pages), 5 sources, MLA, AU$ 58.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
Post-Modernism claims that representations are representations of representations and so on ad infinitum and that words have a non-symbolic status. This paper attempts to show how this linguistic aspect of Post-Modernism is crucial to Paula Scher's works--particularly her paintings of maps, currently on display in an exhibition titled "The Maps" in New York's Maya Stendhal Gallery. It examines how her maps feature loose geographical shapes literally filled with labels and partitioned along political boundaries by color and line.
From the Paper
"The labels on the maps reinforce the question of what the world is. Scher's maps are literally full of place-names, including the usual country and state/province names, as well as the names of cities, islands, rivers, and so on. Even the Bermuda Triangle is afforded a label in "World." When "World" is considered in conjunction with more localized maps, from "Africa" to "Manhattan," it becomes apparent that the world has been partitioned off into nameable sections like countries, and then further partitioned down to, as in "Manhattan," individual street names. One gets the sense that this theme could be continued on an even more localized basis; perhaps labels could be shown for each room in a building, or each object in a room."

Themes in the Works of Susan Wyle and Paula Rothenberg, 2008.
This paper discusses major themes in Susan Wyle's "Revisiting America: Readings in Race, Culture and Conflict" and in Paula Rothenberg's "Race, Class and Gender in the United States".

Abstract
This paper explains that Susan Wyle and Paula Rothenberg take a sociologist perspective to their work. The paper then compares the two perspectives, noting that Susan Wyle, in her book, "Revisiting America", provides a rhetorical perspective on American History, while Rothenberg's approach, in his book, "Race, Class, and Gender in the United States", focuses on power in relation to gender, race and class.
The paper concludes that each author reaches the student in such a way that she can't help but identify with the commonalities of the culture she are studying. The paper includes color illustrations.
From the Paper
"Wyle and Rothenberg take on a great challenge in their methodology. Wyle provokes thought in her students by providing a rhetorical experience to the learning of the successes and blunders in American History. She lets her students explore their own experience and transfer these experiences on to the interpretation of the audience exploring a particular piece of history at a particular time. In the next lecture because her audience is different the conclusions that are reached from studying history could be completely different. Rothenberg takes a more individualist approach to teaching gender, race and class."

Abstract
This paper briefly summarizes the plot of Paula Fox's book "The Slave Dancer" and then explains how the book can be used to teach students about slavery, race, morals and ethics. The paper explains how the book can even be integrated into other subjects and the multimedia support available that can be used to teach the lessons in the book.
From the Paper
"An exciting story from the point of view of a student, but a potential lesson in history and ethics in the eyes of a teacher, for Jessie, as compelled by the crew, must play for the slaves so they can dance and keep themselves 'in condition' for the horrific state of human enslavement that awaits them. Few Africans survived the journey known as the Middle Passage with bodies or minds intact, and Jessie becomes a part of this frightening part of American history. This merging of American history and personal identification with the story's main character is conveyed in an especially strong fashion by the author because young children can so easily identify with the protagonist. Like all of boys junior high school age, children such as Jessie are often thrust into a situation where, in his words, was no one can save him. In other words, Jessie has very little control over his life. His father is dead, and he has few resources other than his own wiles. (Fox, p. 22) He does not choose his fate, his fate chooses him."

Abstract
The paper evaluates the issues related to attorney-client privilege within a case involving the St. Louis Blues organization. The paper explains that it is expected that there within the realm of this case, attorney-client privilege is waived due to the relevance of the communications involved and there is also a necessity to consider these conversations as valid to the proposed arguments.
From the Paper
"The issue of attorney-client privilege has been identified as critical in the proposed case and there are important issues regarding the legality of such a decision under Illinois state law. In this context, the key issues are the following: 1) Does Money have the right to exercise attorney client privilege in this case?; 2) Is Lynn required to remain quiet regarding her conversation with Money?; and 3) Is the St. Louis Blues organization truly negligent in this case, and if so, what are the primary reasons for such negligent behaviors?"

"Three Tall Women" by Edward Albee, 2000.

From the Paper
" Edward Albee's Three Tall Women is a remarkable play about an unlikable woman near the end of her long life. By means of its clever structure it dissects her life and character very thoroughly. This woman, identified only as A by the author, is completely unsympathetic but eventually, as understanding grows, she becomes, if not likable, at least comprehensible as a full human being rather than the caricature she at first appears to be. In the first act three characters, simply called A, B, and C hold a long conversation in a richly appointed bedroom. A is 92 years old, terribly fragile, and drifts from lucidity to brief moments of confusion, or indifference, as to her whereabouts. B is a 52-year-old woman who is A's care giver and C is 26, a young lawyer who has been sent by her firm to tend to details of A's estate. In the second act the three very different personalities..."

"BOOK REPORT
When and Where I Enter by Paula Giddings (1984) portrays the influence of the black woman on race and sex and the women's movements in America. The author tells the story of how the black woman has overcome racist and sexist attitudes; original documents such as diaries, letters, and speeches of other black women of influence were used to add authenticity. Portraits of these leaders are described as Giddings reveals their activities. Examples included Ida B. Wells and her anti-lynching influence, and Mary McLeod Bethune who was an educator and FDR adviser. A quote from Anna Julia Cooper in 1892 (as she was telling a group of black clergymen) describes the book title, "Only the black woman can say 'when and where I enter,' in the quiet, undisputed dignity of my womanhood, without violence and without suing or ..."

The ?Tall? Tales of Odysseus, 2004.
A look at the concept of lies and falsehood in Homer's "Odyssey"
1,358 words (approx. 5.4 pages), 1 source, MLA, AU$ 65.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
In the last half of the "Odyssey" by Homer, the disguised Odysseus tells blatantly false tales about himself. This paper examines the meaning of these lies and explains that he had the underlying motive of protecting either himself or someone else. It shows that, in his quest to protect others, Odysseus uses whatever he deems necessary, including the telling of lies and being deceitful.
From the Paper
"Odysseus has an almost infinite capacity to improvise, to do whatever is necessary to deal with a particular situation: he will disguise himself, lie, cheat, use force, change his mind, compromise, endure hardship, and so on, in order to win through. His ability to reason has led to his reputation as the wisest of counsels. It would seem that a wise man, a hero to the people of Homer?s time, would be above deceit. A fair response to the lies Odysseus tells would be to seek a deeper reason than simple fraud.'

Native American Literature, 2004.
A discussion of how the novels, "Power" by Linda Hogan and "Sacred Hoop" by Paula Gunn Allen, are symbolic of Native American literature.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines how the themes in "Power" by Linda Hogan are centered around nature and the unity of nature and human beings and how these are also themes that are touched upon in "Sacred Hoop" by Paula Gunn Allen. It analyzes how, for the Native American, all creatures are united in a ?sacred hoop?, all events are cyclic ,and how the symbolism used by Hogan focuses on images from nature. It looks at how most prominent among these are the panther, the snake, the tree called Methuselah, and the storm.
From the Paper
"Both the healthy and the sick panther are connected with Omishto?s Taiga tribe of the ?Panther Clan?. Omishto and Ama are representative of a people who is dying, like the panther. She attempts to explain this in an essay for a class assignment, but gives up, knowing they will not understand. This shows that she is experiencing the unfamiliar sensation of being disconnected from other living beings. She cannot identify with the white people, their religion or their traditions. She is unable to adapt to the invasion, and experiences a kind of sickness imposed upon her and her people."

Abstract
This paper, in memorandum form, reflects inter-group conflict, identifies relevant variables which affect the selection of appropriate conflict management style and discusses each in terms of its' importance in the conflict situation. Evaluation of a subset of approaches in dealing with the conflict is performed and recommendations of the appropriate conflict management style for implementation and an accompanying rationale for this choice are presented.
From the Paper
"As you know there has been conflict within the group working on second shift in the hospital emergency room for some time now and many methods of resolving this conflict have been tested without success. The stress experienced in the nightshift ER is strenuous therefore time has been applied to research of this matter. Due to the 12-hour shifts and the high-pace of action in the ER there is little time for paperwork and recently this has led to problems among the nursing staff because no one wants to stay over in the morning after 12 hours to catch up on the paperwork and time has not been found within the shift in order for it to be completed at that time."
