Abstract
The paper looks at how Annabel Lyon's two novellas "The Goldberg Metronome" and "No Fun" both depict life in urban Vancouver. The paper shows how on a surface level, both depict lives that are picture postcard perfect. The paper notes how both stories take place in the present tense, so that the reader is vividly with the main characters as the stories unfold.

From the Paper
"According to critic Katherine Hamer, "Lyon's fiction delicately exposes the dark heart of the urban dream. Apply this statement to the two novellas. Annabel Lyon's two novellas "The Goldberg Metronome" and "No Fun" both depict life in urban Vancouver. On a surface level, both depict lives that are picture postcard perfect, lives of moderate affluence in which the biggest decisions are which coffee shop to take coffee in ("The Goldberg Metronome"), and one of the main characters in "No Fun" spends much of her time contemplating the view from the car park outside Charity Eagle, the quiet little hospital where she works. Both stories take place in the..."

Abstract
This paper explains that the most important part of Poe's poem, "Annabel Lee", is the speaker's love for Annabel Lee and how his love is unaffected by her death. The author points out that the word choice in this poem, which uses words that give the feeling of a medieval fairy tale story, is one of the greatest aspects of the entire work. The paper relates that the speaker describes many series of opposites throughout the entire poem, such as the idea from the beginning through the end that the speaker says they are in a "kingdom by the sea". The author concludes that "Annabel Lee" was not a religious prayer or any type of sermon; but rather, Poe wrote this poem with the knowledge that love will stay forever.

From the Paper
"Many times throughout the poem the speaker tells about how heavenly beings and winged seraphs look down and how they wish they had the same love that the speaker and Annabel Lee share together. There is a possibility that these angels could have caused the death of Annabel Lee, or at least the speaker thinks this is a possibility. Many things such as jealousy could be explanations to why the angels, or devils, would have killed what was a great young relationship between two lovers. In the fifth stanza the speaker directly talks about these beings."

Abstract
This paper looks at what made Annabel Jankel's and Rocky Morton's 1988 remake of the film noir classic, "Dead on Arrival" so successful, focusing on the modern camera techniques used in the movie.

From the Paper
"It's always hard to remake a movie that has achieved classic status, as is the case with the movie "DOA", but Annabel Jankel and Rocky Morton's remake of the film breathes new life into it. The basic question that must be posed to the directors of any remake is "Why bother? Why not make an entirely new movie?" The answer in the case of this film is that the directors have created a new movie out of an established story and have done so in large measure..."

Abstract
This paper examines how Edgar Allan Poe's "The Raven," "Annabel Lee," and "The Fall of the House of Usher" all depict the tragic loss of young and beautiful women. Poe describes Lenore, Annabel Lee and Madeline as young and achingly beautiful and all three women die premature and tragic deaths. In "The Raven" and "Annabel Lee," Poe mourns their tragic loss, while in "The Fall of the House of Usher," Poe is clearly simply horrified at the gruesome and tragic death and he is not so deeply wrought with grief over the loss of someone he loves. It considers how Poe's depictions of women in his literary work reflect his personal experiences with the premature deaths of his young and attractive wife and mother. Poe's depictions remain relevant to readers of all ages and nationalities, as they speak to the universal misery of tragic loss and mourning.

From the Paper
"Poe's poem "Annabel Lee" recounts the perfect love of the narrator and his child bride Annabel Lee. As in the Raven, Poe delves into the tragic loss of a beautiful woman within the lines of "Annabel Lee". Annabel Lee's similarity in age to Poe's young real-life bride is striking, and the poem can be seen as a reflection of Poe's grief over the loss of his young wife. As in "The Raven", Poe focuses on the beauty of the young woman who dies tragically. The stars and the moon even remind the narrator of the young woman's beauty after her tragic death. "Annabel Lee" focuses primarily on the depth of the feelings of between the two young lovers, while "The Raven" focuses more clearly on the grief at the loss of the young woman. In "Annabel Lee", the narrator tells a tale of a kingdom by the sea, where both he and Annabel Lee lived, and that they "loved with a love that was more than love.""

Abstract
This paper compares the common theme of death and the tones of the three poems, "The Raven", "Annabel Lee" and "The Spirit of the Dead", and reviews events in Poe's life that influenced his poetry. The paper discusses Poe's use of rhythm and symbolism in the three poems. The author points out that, even though Poe is widely known as the originator of the modern detective story, he thought of himself first as a lyric poet and published poems and treatises on poetry.

From the Paper
"Edgar Allan Poe in The Raven is overcome by the bird raven which is symbolic of death. This poem is a dirge about the poet's defunct wife. In the poem, the narrator seeks consolation from a giant bird whose only utterance is the dismal "nevermore". He asks the bird many questions about his long lost love, the exceptional and luminous maiden whom the angels name Lenore. But, the only response that he hears is "nevermore". He inquires about his love, solely with the intention of further torturing himself. Throughout the poem "The Raven", Poe makes a personal, introverted hell strangely mesmerizing to all the readers."

Abstract
The paper first examines the poem "Annabel Lee" and shows how Edgar Allan Poe captures the mystery of love with the mystic images of heaven and the sea. The paper then turns to Shakespeare's "Sonnet 130" and how he uses humor along with images of nature to illustrate his theme of love. Finally, the paper highlights how in "A Red, Red Rose," Robert Burns expresses the same type of sentiment as Poe does in that love is beautiful like things of nature. The paper therefore illustrates how each poet successfully expresses his love through nature imagery.

From the Paper
"Images of nature are often used to describe the depths of love. Poets near and far lean upon the element of nature because nature is beautiful, long-lasting, and always surrounds us in one form or another. Three poems that illustrate the incorporation of nature to emphasize the depths of love are Edgar Allan Poe's "Annabel Lee," William Shakespeare's "Sonnet 130," and Richard Burns' "A Red, Red Rose." While each of these poets utilizes the technique of nature imagery in different ways, each poet successfully expresses his love through nature imagery. Through images of the sea and heaven, Poe allows us to see the loftiness and not-of-this-world aspect of his love. Shakespeare uses nature in almost the opposite way - but admitting his lover does not have beauty like nature only demonstrates the true depth of his love. Burns, on the other hand, brings us back to nature by comparing his love to seas gone dry and rocks melting away."

Abstract
This paper explains how and why much of Edgar Allan Poe's poetry revolves around the idea of beautiful, dead women. The paper uses two of his poems, "Annabel Lee" and "The Raven," to demonstrate this theme and illustrates how they are both manifestations of Poe's real-life heartache with women.

From the Paper
"Poe describes Lenore, Annabel Lee and Madeline as young and achingly beautiful and all three women die premature and tragic deaths. In "The Raven" and "Annabel Lee", Poe mourns their tragic loss, while in "The Fall of the House of Usher", Poe is clearly simply horrified at the gruesome and tragic death, and he is not so deeply wrought with grief over the loss of someone he loves. It considers how Poe's depictions of women in his literary work reflect his personal experiences with the premature deaths of his young and attractive wife and mother. Poe's depictions remain relevant to readers of all ages and nationalities, as they speak to the universal misery of tragic loss and mourning."

From the Paper
"Edgar Allan Poe shows a fascination with death, disease, and decay in his stories and poems, and he uses symbolism to represent death and dying as something that takes place not separate from life but deeply embedded within it. Poe mixes life and death in a variety of ways, so much so that he seems to show a morbid fascination with the processes of dying and with the symbolism of death.

Poe's preoccupation with death and more specifically with death-in-life is seen in many of his short stories. The character of Roderick Usher in "The Fall of the House of Usher" is a man whose senses are so acute as to cause him physical pain -- a case of one who lives life is in an ultra mode that restricts his movements so much as to reduce rather than enhance life. His sister shows a different form of life-in-death, or..."

Abstract
This paper examines the running theme of Humbert's sexuality and lust in Nabokov's "Lolita." It looks at how, for Humbert, love can only be seen in the context of his powerful desire to sexually possess the object of his attention and how, thus, he is unable to express any love for the teenage Lolita, filial or romantic, without turning her into an object of his lust. It analyzes how Humbert treats the other women in his life, from Annabel Leigh, Valeria, and Charlotte Haze to the insane Rita. It also discusses how, for Humbert, the level of sexual attraction determines whether or not a woman would be treated with love. It then contrasts Humbert's relations with these other women with his defining relationship with the nymphet, Lolita. It evaluates arguments that Humbert Humbert's attentions were akin to pedophilia or rape or that his lust was brought on by its forbidden nature versus other theories that state how Humbert's sexual desire is also an expression of his love for the adolescent Lolita. It argues that Humbert's willingness to commit murder on her behalf is proof that he not only lusted, but also loved the nymphet, Lolita.

From the Paper
"Instead of a simple psychological motivation, however, critic Daniel Thomieres observes that a careful reader could see how Humbert can easily interpret these events as he wishes, to make himself sympathetic before launching into the details of his adult relationship with Lolita. As proof, Thomieres rightly points out that Humbert could not even recall Annabel's physical traits. Humbert has lost her photograph and admits that the way he sees Annabel in his mind is also "the way I see Lolita" (11). Through the first person narration, Thomieres also discerns that Humbert does not let Annabel speak for herself. In a sense, Annabel provides "(her) bod(y) and den(ies) her mind so as to incarnate that fantasy for Humbert Humbert" (Thomieres 168). Humbert states that she wanted him as much as he desired her, but nowhere in the account does he give Annabel a voice."
