Abstract
This paper discusses Timothy O'Sullivan's 1863 photograph Harvest of Death, taken during the American Civil War. The paper argues that this is a particularly iconic image of the civil war and that it records not only an important moment in history but also a specific moment in the history of photography itself. The invention of photography and the history of the Civil War is discussed to contextual the historical meaning of the image.

From the Paper
Timothy O'Sullivan's Harvest of Death (1863) Timothy O'Sullivan's photograph entitled Harvest of Death was taken after the battle of Gettysburg during the United States Civil War in 1863.

Abstract
This paper discusses how Anne Stevenson's poem, "The Victory", is more than just a vivid depiction of childbirth, as one might interpret it from a surface level. The paper first gives the reader vital tools to interpret imagery and uses examples from the poem. The paper then dissects the poem and analyzes each word and verse, describing the meaning behind the imagery.

From the Paper
"Anne Stevenson refers to the child as a 'tiny antagonist.' She is describing the baby as a rival who is fighting against her. When giving birth, you are not in control, no matter how much you try to control things. It seems as if the baby is working against you throughout the process. The phrase 'blue as a bruise' perhaps refers to the child being born, yet not breathing. Therefore, the baby is blue and struggling. 'The stains / of your cloud of glory / bled from my veins' are lines to give some thought to. Stains are something permanently affixed. 'Cloud of glory' could refer to the baby's entrance into the world. These four lines seem to state that when the baby entered the world, struggling for breath and feelings for this child were permanently ingrained into the mother's blood, regardless of how 'gory' the birth was or how much the baby fought against the process of birth."

Abstract
This paper examines the parenting success of the Cuthberts in "Anne of Green Gables." The paper argues that they are good foster parents and that they are successful at raising an imaginative child in a very conservative environment. Since she is happy it would appear that they were successful.

From the Paper
" ' Anne of Green Gables' is one of the novels that people think of when discussing Canadian literature. It is the story of a small Prince Edward Island community that is changed forever by the arrival of Anne Shirley. Many topics and themes can be found in Anne of Green Gables. However, probably the most important themes deal with families, friendship and community. In general the story can be seen as the completion of the Cuthbert family as a result of the addition of Anne. Two of the major questions raised by Anne of Green Gables are, whether Marilla and Mathew Cuthbert were successful foster parents? And if they..."

Abstract
This paper explains that Anne Bradstreet lived and wrote poetry during the middle decades of the 17th century. The author examines the Puritan themes in two of Bradstreet's more recognized works "To My Dear and Loving Husband" and "Verses Upon the Burning of Our House". The paper compares these two poems to reveal the Puritan themes of devotion to one's husband and devotion to one's God.

From the Paper
"Anne Bradstreet lived and wrote poetry during the middle decades of the 17th century. At that time, she was incredibly steeped in Puritan tradition, owing to her cultural heritage and upbringing. This fact is incredible evident in her poetry, as it expresses many of the dominant themes of Puritanism. This essay examines two of Bradstreet's more recognized works - "To My Dear and Loving Husband" and "Verses Upon the Burning of Our House." The two poems will be compared in order to demonstrate how both works are an expression of Puritan ideology, namely the primacy of men and God. "To My Dear and Loving Husband" is a poem about just what the title would have readers believe. Amazingly, there is no irony or sarcasm lurking beneath Bradstreet's lines."

Abstract
A literary analysis of Anne Bradstreet and her role in early American literature. The paper discusses her poem, "The Author to her Book," and its origins, as well as the roles women in the seventeenth century were expected to play.

From the Paper
"The theme Bradstreet used when calling her work her offspring continued throughout the poem, and only emphasized her distinctive style of writing poetry. Her work was quite unlike the work of many male poets of the seventeenth century. Though she was very cautious in publishing her work, America and society found a brilliant Puritan writer of her time. Although society in that era looked down on women as published writers and intellectuals, Bradstreet's quality of work speaks for itself."

Abstract
In this article, the writer first looks at the history of the Macy's store. The writer then claims that Macy's is probably the most famous for the fact that every year it sponsors the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. The writer looks at how the parade first began and discusses the big balloons that are now associated with the parade. The writer concludes that the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade is a family tradition for many people and notes that many families watch the parade in the morning before they eat their great Thanksgiving dinner.

From the Paper
"Times were tough for these newcomers by in 1924, many of the people were very glad to have jobs and to be in the United States. Because of this, the workers wanted to make a special thank you gesture to their new home and so they decided to use a little bit of their old roots and a little bit of their new home in America, too. These employees decided that Thanksgiving should be celebrated like festivals are celebrated in Europe and so on Thanksgiving Day in 1924 they all dressed up in costumes of bright colors, some which represented their heritage, and marched to the main Macy's store. Along with the employees there were parade floats, marching bands and the employees had even been allowed to use animals that came from the Central Park Zoo in the parade."

Abstract
The writer of this paper analyzes the 1964 Supreme Court case of the "New York Times Co. vs. Sullivan" in which the respondent, an elected official, brought suit against the paper alleging that he had been libeled in the petitioner's newspaper. This paper argues whether the rule of liability as applied to an action brought by a public official against critics of his official conduct abridges abridges the freedom of speech and of the press that is guaranteed by the 1st and 14th amendments.

From the Paper
"If the court permits The Local Newspaper to use NY Times vs Sullivan as a precedent in this case, it would create another precedent allowing the Press to print anything they wanted whether it was true or not, whether or not they had reliable sources. Today because of NY Times vs Sullivan, the press is permitted to print anything about the public acts of a public official. Sullivan does not permit the press to print libelous falsehoods about private lives of public individuals. Private individuals are protected fully by the 1st and 14th Amendments."

Abstract
This paper discusses Helen Keller's life story, outlining her tremendous faith and courage. The paper describes Helen as an inarticulate little deaf and blind girl who grew into a world renowned and beloved figure. Her slow, painful and successful battle to re-enter the world is examined. The paper illustrates how she changed the destiny of the blind and deaf forever. She is portrayed as one of the most powerful symbols of triumph over adversity.

From the Paper
"For the first few years after her illness, Helen became a very difficult child, throwing tantrums, and terrorizing her household. Relatives urged her parents to put her into an institution. Seeking out the advice of many experts, including Alexander Graham Bell (the inventor of the telephone), she was referred to Anne Sullivan, a woman who had lost the majority of her sight at age five, and became an orphan by age ten. Surgery improved her eyesight, and she agreed to accept Helen as a pupil. In fact, she and Helen moved into a small cottage in Tuscumbia, and after a month of trying to teach Helen through sign language, a "miracle" occurred. In a scene that is famous around the world, teacher and student were at a water pump, and as Anne pumped the water over Helen's hand, she spelled out the word water in the other hand." A bibliography is included with the paper rather than a resources listed page.
