Abstract
This paper analyzes "Achterland," written by Anne Teresa de Keersmaeker. It discusses film techniques, camera placement and the motivation behind the piece, all from the filmmaker's perspective. The paper then examines the dance technique and choreographic standards. Finally, the paper looks at how "Achterland" portrays gender roles and feminism in fine arts.

From the Paper
"Anne Teresa de Keersmaeker's piece Achterland is an award-winning dance film featuring male and female dancers that clearly express the struggle for equality between men and women. The music includes Eight Studies for the Piano by Gyorgy Liegeti and Trois Sonates pour Violon Seul by Eugene Ysaye."
"Filmed onstage with de Keersmaeker behind the camera, viewers are given a great insight into what de Keersmaeker's true artistic vision is. The camera is guided to frame and stress certain aspects of her choreography. It is interestingly done so (i.e. focusing on random body parts) that the viewer is forced to focus on certain things that may not have caught attention otherwise. I was often left wondering if there were specific movements or body parts to focus on, but at times it just seemed like an artistic choice with no real motivation."

Abstract
This paper examines the Ron Santa Teresa case and presents a response that Vollmer would make to the board to encourage them to continue allowing the company to invest in the community's youth through the Alcatraz projects.

From the Paper
"If I were Alberto Vollmer I would start by addressing the issues voiced by the board. The first issue is the chance that the Alcatraz youths will return to crime if they do not find jobs this would mean the failure of the Alcatraz project. To address this I would suggest that the company hire as many of the youths as possible but also start a coalition among the local employers to hire the youth. By preparing the youth as he has Alberto ..."

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

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 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
The paper relates that De Beers' value chain begins with its Central Selling Organization or the CSO. The paper explains that while De Beers maintains some interest in mining activities its first real value center begins with the grading process of diamonds within the framework of its CSO operations where diamonds are assigned their market values (Cadieux, 2005, p.4). The paper reveals that for De Beers, the value chain can be described as being a sequence of primary business activities that add utility as well as value to its products or services (Value, 1996), and therefore, any organization can be subdivided into the components that add value to each of its processes comprising the production and delivery of its product or service. The paper relates that the reasons for examining an organization such as De Beers in this respect are many, but put briefly, being aware of a firm's value chain and its components tends to offer the greatest opportunity for De Beers to identify its sources of sustainable competitive advantage (Value, 1996, para.2).
