Abstract
This paper shows how the main character, Danny Fenton, in the novel, "Slow Burn" by Victor Kelleher, uses violent, criminal acts to wage his war of revenge on corporate Australia for the death of his mother. The paper shows that the message Kelleher presents is for a need to preserve our ecological world, and he weaves this theme into a plot of revenge.

From the Paper
"To the corporations, Danny's attacks are a mere annoyance. Although his cause does gain considerable media coverage, which results in the kidnapping of an offensive reporter, nowhere is it conveyed that Danny's escapades are causing any far-reaching consequences. Alternatively rather than Slow Burn being an affirmation for an individual to commit crimes in order to further their cause, the book actually makes the opposite statement. Despite the firebombings, the uncaging of animals, the explosions, tree sit-ins, a kidnapping, and life on the run all, of Danny's efforts have little effect on the direction of progress for the corporations. The statements Danny tries to make with his acts of terrorism appear to fall on deaf ears."

Abstract
This paper explains how Ancient Egyptians believed that life was but a passageway to the rest of their lives, only elsewhere. Throughout their lives they prepared for this event. It looks at how they believed that each individual had seven components. It discusses how the ancient Egyptians would protect these components by preserving the body and giving it a proper funerary. These funeraries would include mummification and other funerary rituals described in the paper - everything would make a difference in the afterlife, from the care and dress of the body to the materials within the tomb.

From the Paper
"In ancient Egypt, death was the gateway to immortality. Egyptians never saw death as devastating, for it was merely "an interruption to life in which afterwards would continue 'elsewhere' " (Hamilton-Paterson and Andrews 16). It was necessary, however, to prepare for death, for the deceased would require necessities for the afterlife. Egyptian beliefs on the afterlife required preparation through a funerary process which culminated in a life after death in the tombs (16-17)."
