Abstract
The author wrestles with Alexander the Greats' inclinations towards both good and evil in an attempt to show that he deserved the title: "Great". By comparing and contrasting, she is able to build a case that he was, indeed, as his name implies, 'Great'. With some interesting quotes from people that knew Alexander the Great personally.

From the Paper
"Alexander the Great was a charismatic person who won the heart of the people he ruled throughout his short reign. He led them to victory against their enemies and had a generous nature. There was another side to Alexander though; he could be cruel, irrational and was known for his drunken rages. Despite his faults, Alexander's conquests, achievements and personal traits made him worthy of the title, "the Great." "

Abstract
The paper relates that the Great Wall is a descriptive name for the protective wall that was started during the 3rd century BC and was continued to be added to until the later 15th and 16th centuries. The paper reveals that the Great Wall is one of China's most recognized and well-known landmarks and is also a World Heritage Site (Zhu 19). The paper reveals that in spite of popular belief, the Great Wall itself is not necessarily one single wall that runs unbroken along its entire approximate 1500 mile length. Rather, the paper explains that the Great Wall consists of a series of walls with fortifications on them that are generally inter-connected if not in physical construction at least in nominal theme such as the defensive barrier against northern tribes such as the Mongols that it was originally built for.

Abstract
This paper introduces, discusses, and analyzes the life of Pope Saint Leo the First (Leo the Great). It includes a short biography of his life, which centers on his achievements and accomplishments. These accomplishments highlight why Leo the Great is considered one of the greatest Pope's of all times. He was known as a unifier, a great writer and a strategist who helped repel invasions of Rome by warring armies.

From the Paper
"Little is known about Pope Leo's early life. One early biographer writes, "As to Leo's birth and early years, apart from the notice supplied by the Liber Pontificalis to the effect that he was of Etruscan origin and that his father's name was Quintianus, we are admittedly dependent largely on conjecture" (Jalland, 1941, p. 33). Many historians believe he was born around 400 in Tuscany, Italy, but his family moved to Rome when he was young, and he called Rome his home. He rose in the ranks of the Catholic Church until he served as a deacon. He was influential enough as a deacon for the Roman Emperor, Valentinian II, to send him to Gaul as a mediator to help settle a dispute between two high-ranking officials in the country. When Pope Sixtus III died, Leo was elected to succeed him. He was consecrated when he returned to Rome on September 29, 440. Leo reigned until his death in 461, and accomplished a great many important achievements during his reign as Pope."

Abstract
This paper discusses the positive and negative aspects of Gilbert Seldes's review of "The Great Gatsby". The paper examines how Seldes argues that The Great Gatsby is proof that Fitzgerald has come into his own as a writer. The paper offers insights into Fitzgerald's intricate use of flashbacks as well as his technical precision when creating his literary scenes.

From the Paper
"Despite everything that Seldes does well in his review, he falls quite short in his analysis of Fitzgerald's narrator, Nick Carraway. His review argues that Carraway has little personality and character. Seldes states, "the author's appetite for life is so violent that he found the personality of the narrator an obstacle, and simply ignored it" (30). I could not disagree more. Nick Carraway is certainly not the most passionate of the characters in the novel, but to say he lacks personality is simply a thorough misread of the work. As early as Nick's first encounter with Daisy, Tom, and Jordan we are shown his sarcastic inclination. When Daisy asks if anyone in Chicago (her former place of residence) misses her, Nick replies, "the whole town is desolate."

Abstract
This is a report on the book "The Great Gatsby". In The Great Gatsby it is evident that the book takes place in the 1920s based on some of the character's dress and attitude. The characters are conservative by today's standards, yet they are willing to push the envelope and test boundaries, common in the 1920s. Divorce became more acceptable in the 1920s.

Abstract
This paper studies the possible reasons for the stock market crash in 1929. It examines John Kenneth Galbraith's book 'The Great Crash: 1929' which claims that the reason for the Great Crash was the over-zealousness and miscalculations of financial analysts and brokers at the time. It discusses how the basis economic theories were suddenly irrelevant afterward. Finally, it blames the stock market crash on investors that did not want to see the reality.

From the Paper
"John Kenneth Galbraith's book "The Great Crash: 1929 claims that the depression of 1929 was a direct result of the miscalculations of the financial analysts and the other brokers which caused the crash of the stocks. He states that these actors of the economic field had a direct involvement in the stock market and had become too greedy to actually see what was happening to the market around them---too greedy to actually fear the recuperation's of what was easily predictable as the downfall."

Abstract
This essay discusses "The Great Gatsby" in the context of the economic realities of the 1920s. The novel reflected the pursuit of greed and ambition in America in the 1920s. While the period represented wealth and prosperity for many Americans, for others it entailed only poverty and misery. The pursuit of wealth itself led to self-destruction. The characters in "The Great Gatsby" very much reflect the values and energies of the 1920s, as well as the emptiness that superficiality and materialism spawn.
