Abstract
The following paper argues that it is preferable to be a lover rather than a rapist in debate. The writer also maintains that it is unwise to be a seducer to the extent that seducer invariably means dissembling and obfuscation. As the writer sees it, one should be an empathetic and thoughtful debater and also willing to see the humanity in all people with whom one comes into contact - however disagreeable that person and his or her perspectives may be. In the end, while the writer feels that we may all, on occasion, argue unilaterally, and should all be well-versed in all forms of debate, the writer maintains that arguing as a lover is the most important thing of all.

From the Paper
"In my own life, I have occasionally been a "rapist" when debating a point - at least as Brockriede defines aggressive, argumentative debate. However, I bristle at the charge even as I make it against myself. For one thing, to be impassioned about a point of view does not necessarily make one a "rapist" in any sense. Further, if one overwhelms an adversary in debate through strong logic, sharp analysis, clever argumentation, and a shower of statistics, the idea that such constitutes "rape" seems absurd; simply put, to believe in something sufficiently that one is passionate about it in debate (to the point that one even calls into question the veracity and legitimacy of a differing perspective) is simply to be an arguer of conviction - not necessarily an arguer consumed with the thought of intellectually "raping" an opponent."

From the Paper
"The following paper will argue that it is preferable to be a lover rather than a rapist in debate; it is also unwise to be a seducer to the extent that seducer invariably means dissembling and obfuscation (Brockriede, 4-5). As I see it, one should be an empathetic and thoughtful debater and also willing to see the humanity in all people with whom one comes into contact - however disagreeable that person and his or her perspectives may be.

Abstract
This paper discusses the impact of apartheid in two stories by South African writer Nadine Gordimer: "Town Lovers" and "Country Lovers." It looks at the similar theme of both stories relating to the nature of love and the nature of crime and how in each story, a crime is committed by two people who have a relationship with each other that, solely because it crosses racial lines, is a crime.

From the Paper
"In her twinned short stories Town Lovers and Country Lovers South African writer Nadine Gordimer asks her readers to consider the nature of love and the nature of crime the two of which can in fact be the same under the apartheid regime of South Africa."

Abstract
This paper analyzes and critiques James Conlon's essay "Why Lovers Can't Be Friends,"which presents an argument in support of the contention that friendship and love are two distinct genres of human relationships. This paper refers to a range of philosophical texts and discussions of this question in the context of Western culture and civilization. The paper concludes by stating that Conlon's "generic" model of human relationships is fundamentally sound, however his conclusion that lovers can never be friends is nonetheless invalid.

Abstract
This paper is a critical essay of the politics of representation of the characters in Israel in the novel, "Ten Thousand Lovers," by Edeet Ravel. Quotes from the novel and external sources are included ,along with a list of works cited. An analysis of the Hebrew and Arab relationship is also discussed.

From the Paper
"This novel uses Israel as a focal point of hybridity. This is a nation where many different cultures, languages, and opinions come together. It is essential to the success of this country that all the parts cooperate together to operate as a whole. Ravel does a beautiful job of illustrating this importance through the stories and actions of her characters. The provided history of linguistics and integration of italicized Middle-eastern culture into the text solidify the efforts of Ravel to represent the diversity of Israel. Everyone can be thought of as a ten thousand-faced dice. Upon one roll, one face will be completely exposed to the naked eye, and will be used to reprsent the dice as a whole."

Abstract
This paper provides an overview of D.H. Lawrence's "Sons and Lovers" citing different psychoanalytic theories. The author explains that although there is a likeness between the life of D. H .Lawrence and the experiences of Paul Morel, the main character in the story, this essay examines Paul without commenting on any psychoanalytic symptoms regarding the creator.

From the Paper
"Critics like Alfred Kuttner have started a trend which study on the close relationship between Paul and his mother and interpret this within the Freudian Psychoanalysis as the Oedipal Complex. When examined trough the views of Freud, the mother-son relationship in "Sons and Lovers" is really the type of relationship which Freud names as "oedipal crisis" but it works differently in this novel. Naturally, the mother is the first love object for all boys. They want her attention and her love. Similarly, the two boys of Morels, Paul and his eldest brother William, see their mother as a divine creature and live as her worshippers. Paul imagines that he and his mother will live together when he is old enough to earn money by himself and when his father has died. Paul loves his mother so much that he wants to be with her and spend all of his time with her. To live with his mother by himself is his greatest desire. When Paul gets ill, he sleeps with his mother and for him this is more healing than the medicine.
"Paul loved to sleep with his mother. Sleep is still most perfect in spite of hygienists, when it is shared with a beloved. The warmth, the security and peace of soul, the utter comfort from the touch of the other, knits the sleep, so that it takes the body and soul completely in its healing.(Lawrence 67)
"The quotation above is important in that it shows how much Paul likes being with his mother. He feels secure and relaxed. Not only physically but also spiritually he feels himself healed.
"Of course, each of us loves our mothers too much and our mothers, less or more, are effective in our relationships with others, especially with women. In fact, loving mother too much or her dominance in the relations can not be assessed as an oedipal crisis. There should be a rival for the mother's affection; the father. The father is stronger and superior in many ways to the boy so at the beginning, they are jealous of their father and the father is seen as an enemy and is hated by the boys. Moreover, as Paul does, they sometimes wish him die."

Abstract
This paper explains that both "Sons and Lovers" and "Dubliners", significant literary works in their own right, challenged social mores by including discussions of sexuality in their stories. The author points out that these books, which are among the early accounts of the social effects of industrialization, presented a realistic depiction of the social conditions of the poor and working class. This paper argues that these literary works broke from romantic and often contrived fiction, which was popular in the 19th century, ushering in the dawn of a more realistic writing style.

Conclusion

From the Paper
"To deal with this unspoken and incestuous tension, Paul Morel employs another Freudian concept -- transference. The recipients of Paul's romantic and sexual attentions are Miriam the chaste neighbor and Clara, the sensual older woman. Even in these relationships, the presence of his mother looms large. Paul wants a woman to forcefully claim him, a task that the wallflower-like Miriam fails to fulfill. Clara, the older woman, is clearly a maternal substitute for Gertrude Morel. However, Clara's husband cuts short any progress this relationship could make."

Abstract
This paper is an analysis of the book "Sons and Lovers" by D.H. Lawrence. It focuses on the character of the mother, Mrs. Morel and discusses whether she was a good mother or not.

From the Paper
"In Sons and Lovers, D.H. Lawrence presents the compelling image of a woman who has physically given birth to her sons, but never released their souls from her womb. Mrs. Morel has failed in her own life, and become hopelessly trapped in a mundane working class existence. Yet when her children are born, it is a kind of second birth for her as well. She spends the remainder of her life teaching them to live and guiding their lives, because through them she can finally experience the creative and upwardly mobile existence she has always longed for. Even after her death, Paul will say that "his soul could not leave her, wherever she was.""
