Abstract This paper discusses Joy Adamson's book "Born Free" and describes it as the true story of the incredible relationship that developed between Joy, her husband, a lioness named Elsa, and a number of other wildlife species, such as a cheetah named Pippa. The paper reviews Adamson's book by considering its setting, plot, characters, theme, and style, as well as its strengths and weaknesses.
From the Paper "Born Free: A Lion Between Two Worlds (1960) is set in Kenya during the mid-twentieth century. The author, who is clearly familiar with the African jungle, brings to life the sounds, smells, and atmosphere of the surrounding environment through describing cultural practices, and by introducing the reader to the habitudes of numerous different creatures. In the beginning of the book, for example, Joy introduces Patti, who is a rock hyrax, and who had been living with Joy and her husband for six and a half years. A small furry creature, the author explains that the animal resembles something between a guinea pig and a marmot, but that the rock hyrax, due to its teeth and the bone structure of its feet, is actually related to elephants and rhinos.

Abstract This paper outlines the collapse of Kmart. It talks about its founders who created the store in 1897 and the early years when the company was very profitable. The paper then traces the beginning of Kmart's downfall until it was forced to file for chapter 11 in 2001. The author discusses the strategies that Kmart management is trying to implement in order to stay afloat. Finally, the paper uses quotes by business professionals regarding their opinions on Kmart and their prophesies for this company's future.
From the Paper "The history of the company began with Sebastian Kresge and John McCrorey. They began with their five-and-dime stores in Memphis and Detroit in 1897. No more than two years later the partners split up and Kresge took the Detroit stores and McCrorey took over the Memphis stores. Kresge incorporated as S.S. Kresge Company in 1912; soon it became the second-largest chain of dime stores in the United States, operating 85 stores. By the 1920s and 1930s, Kresge had expanded the company to S.S. Kresge, Ltd., and opened stores in Canada and in suburban shopping malls across North America. By the 1950s Kresge was one of the largest general merchandise stores in the United States. He saw the potential in the Jupiter discount stores he owned, so he opened more discount stores and changed the name to Kmart."
Abstract This paper examines two articles in the "Journal of Developmental and Behavioral Pediatrics" about Sudden Infant Death Syndrome. The articles, one written by Michael T. Adamson and the other by Hong-Moo Hahn, explore separate studies about the topic, and the author of this paper discusses various aspects of each article, as well as their merits.
From the Paper "Each year in America thousands of parents walk into their infants room and discover that the child has died from Sudden Infant Death Syndrome.

A religious review and comparison of the movie "The Chronicles of Narnia, The Witch, The Lion and The Wardrobe" directed by Adam Adamsons and the book "Iroquois Creation Story" written by Dawn T Maracle.
Abstract This paper comes to show how modern works like the movie "The Chronicles of Narnia, The Witch, The Lion and The Wardrobe" and the book "Iroquois Creation Story" parallel what Christians believe today. These stories describe the "good and bad minds," which highlight the differences between God and Satan, and the constant theme of the battle between good and evil.
From the Paper "Darkness refers to the sins of the world and light to God and the good He represents. The writer discussed the monsters going to hide from the light, "Whenever the light extended to the dark world the monsters were displeased and immediately concealed themselves in the deep places" (22), which parallels the event in the Bible with Adam and Eve after they had partaken of the forbidden fruit from the Garden of Eden, but I don't believe Adam and Eve to be monsters as the Indian story suggested."
