Abstract
This paper looks at the theme of the poem, "The Uses of Passion", considers its intended audience, and critically reviews the poem for its banality and lack of poetic voice.

From the Paper
"Angie Estes' poem on "The Uses of Passion" proposes to deal with the way in which passion affects the human experience. Each line or two describes the way in which passion will change one's life, as in the third line which claims "It tells you what to wear.". (Estes) The thesis of this poem appears to be that passion lends meaning to life, but this is presented in the most mundane fashion imaginable so that one is actually led to suspect that passion actually saps the mind of its independent creativity while creating an illusion of meaning and purpose."

Abstract
This paper compares and contrasts the life struggles experienced in the US by the characters in "Let it Rain Coffee" with the life struggles they experienced in the Dominican Republic. The paper describes how the Colon family came from the Dominican Republic and immigrated to the United States and found that the US was not a land of opportunity but a land of broken dreams. The paper shows how life was hard for them in New York City, but it was even harder in the Dominican Republic, as the children see when they return for a visit. The paper looks at the personal struggles of each family member.

From the Paper
"There are many reasons Santo and Esperanza decided to immigrate to the United States, but the biggest one was Esperanza herself. She was addicted to the television show Dallas and believed she could find a better life in the United States. She thought everyone lived like the Ewings, and that she could have a better life. Santos really followed her because he loved her, but he wanted to go home, and realized just before he died that he hated New York. Cruz writes, "But he didn't do anything more than remind Santo of what he had forgotten about himself. That he hates the cold weather. That he had had enough" (Cruz 77). He wanted to go home, but he died before he had the chance. In fact, he had far different dreams from his wife. He thinks to himself, "All he ever wanted was to live. Wake up to the sun and fall asleep, with the moon, like the old men in Los Llanos [...]" (Cruz 74). He follows Esperanza not for his own dreams, but for hers, and it drives a wedge between them that is never removed."

Abstract
This paper examines how both Daly and Blume's novels present an essentially similar framework for the female protagonist to define herself and how the question of the female's sexuality becomes the main conduit of self-definition open to her, a way to define her new independence. It looks at how for Daly, her main character is not actively sexual, Angie's decision to date over the summer-more than any other decision during her previous four years of high school, her future college career, and current intellectual accomplishments-becomes the defining moment of Angie's life. In comparison, it shows how for Blume, sexuality becomes a kind of proving ground for her main character's individuality and how Catherine's discretion about making the jump into sexuality will change things, in the words of the title, forever.

From the Paper
"Maureen Daly's world of Seventeenth Summer could not seem farther away from Blume's world of sexually open teens. Daly's central character is a virgin, almost unaware of her sexual desire. Angie is charmed when a boy tells her that the wind looks nice blowing through her hair, although he makes no real reference to the rest of her physical body. Although the books take place in roughly the same place in time in the narrator's lives, in the summer between high school and college for Daly's main character, and during the senior year of high school for Blume's central female protagonist , the two books initially seem to be from different planets-Daly's teens say 'Gee whiz,' and worry constantly about what the parents of their significant others will say.

Abstract
This compares the works of two Afro-Caribbean writers: Jamaica Kincaid's "Angie John" and Junot Diaz's "Drown". The paper focuses on the theme of alienation present in both novels, specifically focusing on the marginalized role of the father figure. The paper summarizes and compares each work as well as how each work treats the father figure and concludes that, despite the differences in both the works, there exists a common patriarchal order in both, which makes the reader question the woman's place in it.

From the Paper
"Most families represented in Drown can be sharply contrasted with Annie John's family. Five out of ten stories fluctuate between abandonment and return of fathers. The rest are practically fatherless families. The number of single mothers through the collection is proof enough of the sexual irresponsibility of the men. The first sentence of Aguantando strikes the note of longing for an absent father - "I lived without a father for the first nine years of my life". The plight and the helplessness of the narrator is heightened when he says, "He had left for NuevaYork when I was four but since I couldn't remember a single moment with him I excused him from all nine years of my life" adding that "the only way I knew him was through the photographs my mom kept in a plastic sandwich bag under her bed". "

Abstract
The paper summarizes three articles on the topic of the human papilloma virus (HPV): "Quadrivalent HPV Recombinant Vaccine (Gardasil) for the Prevention of Cervical Cancer" by Angie L. Goeser, "The Effect of Prophylactic Human Papillomavirus L1 Virus-Like-Particle Vaccine on Risk of Cervical Intraepithelial Neoplasia Grade 2, Grade 3, and Adenocarcinoma in Situ: A Combined Analysis of four Randomized Clinical Trials" by S. Kjaer M. Lehtinen G. Perez and L. Villa and "Efficacy of a Quadrivalent Prophylactic Human Papillomavirus L1 Virus-Like-Particle Vaccine Against High-Grade Vulval and Vaginal Lesions: A Combined Analysis of Three Randomised Clinical Trials" by Mauricio Hernandez-Avila and Elmar A. Joura, Sepp Leodolter and Cosette M. Wheeler. The paper
discusses the articles' tremendous implications for health care and community health education. The paper then explains that cervical cancer is the second most common cause of cancer and resulting cancer death in women worldwide. The paper explains further that since the yearly Pap smear given to women cannot detect certain types of cancerous cells or lesions, the need for this type of vaccine to prevent HPV-related diseases is sorely needed.

Outline:
Three Literature Reviews:
Article One
Article Two
Article Three
Implications for Health Care and Community Health Education Based on the Studies' Conclusions

From the Paper
"Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) has been "identified at a higher rate in the tissue of women diagnosed with cervical cancer than among nonaffected controls (citing Salmeron et al, 2003; Balmes, Ritz, & Tager, 2005, p. 245). The disease can cause pathologies including, but not limited to, pain during intercourse, chronic pelvic pain, ectopic pregnancy, genital warts, and penile, anal, cervical, and vulvar carcinoma (Immerman & Mackey, 1997, p. 443; Lytwyn & Sellors, 1997, p. 113). The disease is believed to be sexually transmitted and is the "second most common cause of cancer and cancer death in women worldwide, with 80% of cases occurring in the developing world...95% of cancers of the uterine cervix are caused by certain types of human papillomaviruses" (citing Franco 1994; Lytwyn & Sellors, 1997, p. 113). Although Papanicolaou (Pap) tests have led to the decrease in mortality rates caused by cervical cancer, approximately 230,000 women per year die from the disease worldwide (Kjaer, Lehtinen, Perez, & Villa, et al, 2007, p. 1861)"
