Abstract This paper looks at the Lenni-Lenape tribe. It includes their spiritual and intellectual beliefs and a description of the environment in which they lived. Also described briefly is the history of their contact with the English, Spanish and other invaders, beginning with a look the Spaniard Pedro Mendez in 1570 and continuing through to a look at the Englishmen under Governor William Berkley in 1644. The paper also discusses the Lenni-Lenapes of modern day from the 1920's.
From the Paper "Two outstanding leaders met and stopped a war between the English colonists under John Smith and the Lenape Indians under Chief Powhatan. As part of the treaty, Chief Powhatan was crowned King of the Delaware territory, in 1609, through the diplomacy of John Smith. Unfortunately, John Smith was recalled to England in 1609 after a dispute with the London Company's managers. The result of his recall was full-scale war between the English and the Lenape. The war lasted until 1613 when Pocahontas married an English colonist named John Rolfe and Chief Powhatan grudgingly called a truce between his people and the English."
A paper which analyzes the themes from three novels - "A Farewell to Arms? by Ernest Hemingway, "Lucy Gayheart" by Willa Cather and "Keeper of the Moon" by Tim McLaurin.
Abstract This paper highlights the impact of events on the leading characters of the three novels, "Farewell to Arms", "Lucy Gayheart" and "Keeper of the Moon" by Hemingway, Willa Cather and Tim Mclaurin respectively. The paper highlights the common theme in the three novels and comes to a sound conclusion that the authors have put great stress on man's helplessness, his endless struggle and his eventual failure. Though writing style and choice of words as well as portrayal of characters is different, most of the elements of the theme remain the same.
From the Paper "Hence, the author highlighted the tragic sense of life that prevails all aspects of happiness and love. The young, dazzling and passionate Henry had to give in to the disillusionment and severe anguish and the war that Henry abandoned eventually snatched away all that the hero of the story held dear (Hemingway). Thus the author focuses on the viewpoint that the individuals hope for the best in life yet failure is what they are usually destined to and the universe, the land, the soil where we lead our lives appears indifferent to our plight as implied when the world challenges and puts the couple's faith to test time and again. The similar viewpoint is advocated and shared by the author of Lucy Gayheart, Willa Cather regarding man's eventual fiasco in life's perpetual journey and struggle."

Abstract Leo Thomas was a Dominican priest that taught pastoral care for eleven years at the Dominican School of Philosophy and Theology in Berkley and the Menninger Foundation. As a member of the Catholic Charismatic Renewal Movement in San Francisco and Seattle, Thomas became convinced that there were alternative methods of spiritual healing within the congregation. This paper provides background information on the career and religious philosophy of Dominican priest, Leo Thomas and discusses the book he wrote on spiritual healing entitled "Healing Ministries".
From the Paper "Thomas founded the Institute for Christian Ministries in order to address this need, then began to write about his knowledge as a means of sharing these concepts with others. For "Healing Ministries: A Practical Guide", Thomas worked with freelance writer and Christian Ministries board member Jan Alkire to produce the work. Leo Thomas passed away in 1997. Father Leo Thomas wanted to guide others to an understanding of how to teach healing. The concept of healing was directed at the spiritual health of the individual, and it concerned all individuals of all..."
Abstract The paper looks at "Socrates to Sartre and Beyond: A History of Philosophy" where Samuel Enoch Stumpf and his co-author James Fieser strive to show a line of intellectual continuity between the earliest ancient philosophers like Socrates, and the 20th century French founder of existentialism Jean-Paul Sartre. The paper offers a summary of the book's treatment of pre-Socratic philosophers, Socrates, Aristotle, Descartes, Berkley, Hume, Kant, Nietzsche, Marx, James and finally, Sartre.
From the Paper "In Socrates to Sartre and Beyond: A History of Philosophy Samuel Enoch Stumpf and his co-author James Fieser might seem to be taking upon themselves an impossible and unwieldy task. As the title of their work proclaims, they strive to show a line of intellectual continuity between the earliest ancient philosophers like Socrates, one of the first and most famous modern philosophers, through the thought of the post-war, atheistic philosopher, the 20th century French founder of existentialism Jean-Paul Sartre. Finally, the 'beyond' part of the text catapults the reader squarely into modern analytic and postmodern theory, in an attempt to place our contemporary culture in a historical context. The authors try to create history of philosophy by examining how the human race came to conceptualize and question such concepts as a 'good life' and 'truth.'"
