Abstract
The purpose of this discussion is to examine the famine in the land that caused Abraham and his wife to journey to Egypt. The paper begins with the story where Abram decides to pretend that Sarai is his sister and not his wife. The paper reflects on this passage of scripture to ascertain whether or not Abram used his wife's beauty to become wealthy.

From the Paper
"Sarai was a very beautiful woman and as they approached the boarders of Egypt Abram felt that the Egyptians would try to kill him and take Sarai. Abram devised a plan to pretend that Sarai was his sister instead of his wife. He felt that doing this would protect them both. When they reached Egypt the plan was set into motion and the Egyptians began to adore the beauty of Sarai. Sarai was taken into the Pharaoh's harem. Abram was treated well and was given servants. Abram was also given sheep, donkeys and cattle because of the beauty of Sarai."

Abstract
This paper introduces, discusses, and analyzes Peter Abram's book about the life experiences of a black man in South Africa. The paper explains how the novel centers around the main character's growing awareness that, without respect and a strong sense of self, life is hollow and has little meaning. The paper also discusses the book's central theme that, when black or white South Africans view their racially different neighbors as another species, no social mobility or equality is possible, and no change is possible.

From the Paper
"What does it mean to be a man without a color, in a nation where one's social status and formal social power are completely determined by one's racial status? At the beginning of Peter Abram's 1946 novel Mine Boy, the protagonist Xuma first sees himself as primarily defined as a black man from the country, in other words by his racial and geographic status. He lives in a land divided into sharply defined racial, class, linguistic, and geographic social structures. Who one is, what one looks like, the national origins of one's first tongue, and if one is urban or rural all of these create a polarized South Africa. But the end of the novel strips these trappings of identity stripped away from Xuma's consciousness, although these trappings are not similarly stripped away from the politics of the society around him. This new sense of Xuma's self and identity is the real gold that Xuma finds in Johannesburg, where he goes at the novel's beginning, looking for work. But economics begins to take on a less prominent position in his sense of purpose in life, than his need for a collective solidarity with his fellow miners, regardless of their color. Compassion is the dividing line according to the novel those who have compassion for others are good, regardless of their color, and those who lack this value are not good, regardless of their color."

Abstract
This paper explains that, after Abram Korn's death in 1972, his son Joseph began compiling and editing his father's writings to be published as a reminder to the world of the atrocities which occurred during the Holocaust and to serve as an example of his father's will, determination and human strength. The author points out that the story relates the survival of Abram Korn, who, during the entire war, was a Jewish prisoner inside various ghetto's, concentration and work camps and the Death March from Auschwitz. The paper relates details of his life during the Holocaust, from the daily life inside the ghetto, which called for extreme patience with extremely long lines to get food, water and even to be buried, to, finally, after many concentration camps, the afternoon of April 11, 1945, when out of the blue, Abram heard singing coming from outside his barracks and soon witnessed German solders being bound together and brought in front of the prisoners, helpless for the first time.

From the Paper
"In the early morning hours of September 1, 1939, Abram Korn, along with many Polish citizens, was awoke by the sound of air raid sirens as Hitler's air force, the Luftwaffe, began their invasion of Poland marking the start of WWII. "Even though the number of injured in this initial attack was relatively small, the bombing foreshadowed a war that would destroy millions of people and would touch uncounted lives with misery" (Korn). Soon after the invasion Abram and his family were deported from Lipno to the Kutno Ghetto."

Abstract
According to McLuhan, technology shapes the perceptions by which we judge technology itself. The writer claims that this theory is true for Bradbury whose book implies that reading shapes how we view the world and how we relate to the idea of knowledge. The paper brings the suggestion of David Abram, that language shapes how we view the world, in order to compare the three similar theories on how we are shaped in and by the world.

From the Paper
"Abram's approach is part of a continuing argument about whether objective truth is even possible, and Husserl in particular began by questioning the supposed objective truth possible in science. This could also be seen as part of an even older argument over whether the mind can perceive truth or only sensory, and thus untrustworthy, inputs. The idea of sense-certainty refers to the thought that the senses provide us with immediate consciousness of an object. The usual conception is that the senses provide us with sensations that are construed as forms of the immediate awareness of objects."

From the Paper
"A main reason for this is that the market for starch and sweeteners is a mature one and the registration of massive profits is rather difficult to achieve. Another reason for the company's limited success onto the international market is given by the nature of their activity. As such, since they operate and process agricultural products, they are directly dependent upon the crops; which are also dependent upon natural conditions, which are then out of Tate & Lyle's control; and floods and droughts massively impact the corporate results. Also, they are highly influenced by price and currency fluctuations and the general economic status within the countries where they operate."

Abstract
This paper will discuss the book "The Spell of the Sensuous" by David Abrams and seek to understand his definitions of language in chapters three and four in this book. By studying 'The Flesh of the Language' and the 'Animism of the Alphabet', we can understand how this magician/ philosopher brings us to a new realization of the way perception can be realized.

Abstract
This paper examines the history of the United States, focusing particularly on Ohio and the twentieth president of the United States of America, James Abram Garfield, who was born there. The paper illustrates the scenario James Abram Garfield was born into, and describes the role played by his family and religion in his life. His early academic career as well as his further studies are detailed, and Garfield's political career is comprehensively presented. The paper discusses the assassination of Garfield and outlines his legacy.

From the Paper
"The United States of America is a nation that has a significantly rich and eventful history, particularly when considered in the light of such things as the assassinations of presidents like that of Kennedy and Garfield. Consider also the violence that erupted as a result of the slavery and racism that was prevailing during the era prior to the American civil war, somewhere during the early 1860s. The instability that was inherent to the country at the time was virtually unimaginable in so much as the extremity prevalent to them."

Abstract
This paper provides essay like answers to five questions related to the Old Testament, Genesis, Chapters 12-25. A main focus is what modern-day territories equate to the cities and regions described in Genesis related to Abram and his descendants.

From the Paper
"In Genesis we are told that Terah took Abram and others and went forth with them from Ur of the Chaldees to go into the land of Canaan and they came unto Haran and dwelt there. In reviewing a modern day map of these regions, it is clear that Abram and his people came from what is modern day Tell el-Mukayyar in Iraq's Dhi Qar Governate, Ur. Once a coastal area, Ur is now far inland and south of the Euphrates..."

Abstract
This paper discusses four aspects of the 1927 silent film by Abram Room, "Bed and Sofa." The discussion relates to remarkable aspects of the film, directorial style and pictorial values. Two other films that also portray a love triangle are cited in the review, Andrew Fleming's "Threesome" and Mike Nichols' "Closer."

From the Paper
"There are two remarkable aspects of Abram Room's film 'Bed and Sofa.' The first of these is the film's frank depiction of sexual mores as a young couple and the husband's friend become entangled in a love triangle. For its era, this frank depiction of not only sexual mores but gender roles must have been remarkable to audiences. The other remarkable aspect of 'Bed and Sofa' to me is the way the film dares to suggest that the new reforms ushered in by..."

Abstract
This paper explores the relationship of human beings to the environment in which they live by reviewing three writers who approach the issue in different ways: Ray Bradbury in his novel "Fahrenheit 451," David Abram in his book "The Spell of the Sensuous," and Marshall McLuhan in his book "Understanding Media." Abram suggests that one of the reasons people were once in closer touch with nature was because they lived by an oral tradition rather than a written one. Ray Bradbury creates a society in which reading is outlawed and books are banned. McLuhan tends to agree mostly with Abrams ideas in his book.

From the Paper
"Abram looks to the state of mankind at some distant point in the past and suggests that one of the reasons people were once in closer touch with nature was because they lived by an oral tradition rather than a written one. He is not speaking only of writing but of many technological and social developments since that time, and he finds that these developments have taken us further and further from a close connection to the natural world such as once existed."
