Abstract
This paper discusses the Supreme Court case "Barron v. Baltimore" from 1833, decided by the Marshall Court, in which the issue was the applicability of the Fifth Amendment to the states as well as the federal government. The paper analyzes the Supreme Court decision in the case which found that the Fifth Amendment did not apply to the states as well as the federal government. The paper notes that this decision served as precedent for a century before being abandoned in the 1930s and that some thought applied to the entire Bill of Rights.

From the Paper
"An early decision regarding the taking of private property and any protections against this afforded by the Fifth Amendment was known as Barron v. Baltimore (32 U.S. 243, 1833). In this case, John Barron was part owner of a wharf in the city of Baltimore. The city was then expanding, and this caused the accumulation of large amounts of sand in the harbor, which deprived parts of the harbor of deep waters needed for certain types of shipping. The accumulation affected Barron and his business adversely, so he sued the city for part of his financial losses. The issue raised was not simply about the financial losses, however, for the case was based on the protections of the Fifth Amendment. According to that amendment, the federal government is prevented from taking private property for public use without just compensation for the owner of that property."

Abstract
Faulker's "A Rose for Emily" chronicles the life and times of Emily Grierson, the last of her family, who may be responsible for the death of her father and is her certainly responsible for the death of her sometime paramour, Homer Barron. The story is justly famous for the frisson of horror its ending offers as it becomes clear that Emily engaged in some form of necrophilia with Homer.

Abstract
This paper examines how in "A Rose for Emily" by William Faulkner, Emily takes the life of her lover, Homer Barron, by poisoning him with arsenic. It evaluates how by doing so, she erases any hope that she has for getting married and having children. It looks at how most analysis of the work focus on Emily as a victim to explain her motives for murder. However it takes a more novel stance by emphasizing Emily's intelligence and ability to turn discrimination against the perpetrators.

From the Paper
"Symbolism associated with description of a picture of Emily's father, "Miss Emily a slender figure in white in the background, her father a spraddled silhouette in the foreground, his back to her and clutching a horsewhip, the two of them framed by the back-flung front door" is highly illustrative of the lack of control in Emily's life. "A slender figure in white represents a vulnerable version and her position in the background signifies subordination. In contrast, Emily's father assumes the dominant position and the horsewhip denotes power and control. Her father's authoritarian nature, dominance and pride had destroyed her chances for marriage. Through the murder of Barron, Emily can be viewed as trying to take back control of her life. She's afraid that under Barron's hands she'll suffer the same repression that she encountered from her father."

Abstract
The paper discusses the setting of Southern society in William Faulkner's "A Rose for Emily" and focuses on the theme of Emily's struggle to hold on to her past and not conform to her changing society. The paper describes how Emily refuses to take leave of her father and Homer Barron, and also insists on not paying taxes like many years earlier. The paper concludes that Emily's death is a positive thing because she is finally able to escape the pressures of her changing society.

From the Paper
"In William Faulkner's "A Rose for Emily", the Southern setting is the road to the major theme of the story. The theme is the constant struggle Emily has of holding on to her past and not wanting to conform to her society. "A Rose for Emily" is about a woman named Emily who lives in Jefferson, Mississippi. It is important to understand the time period in which the story takes place. Emily grew up in the South during the Civil War. Major changes came to the South after the Civil War, yet Emily does not want to change with her surroundings. After the Civil War, the world saw the decline of the South. The downfall of the South directly relates to the downfall of Emily."

Abstract
This paper shows how the rights to due process is an inalienable human right. Various landmark cases are presented to reinforce the statement that "due process" is guaranteed by the Bill of Rights and the United States Constitution. Includes cases that date back to Barron vs. Baltimore of 1833 all the way to present day court cases.

From the Paper
"Due process is a major fabric in the quilt of the United States Constitution. It is an important right, which without it the United States would be similar to other countries that lack the Constitutional protections that we offer. The Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment is a major fabric that is of utmost importance because it places limitations on the government from taking our life, liberty and property without a trial or investigation. Protection of liberty is what the 14th and the 5th amendment is trying to protect based on the natural law traditions. Natural law is the tradition that humans have inalienable rights that cannot be taken by the government or any other entity, public or private. The historical traditions that go back to the days of the Hamurrabi codes have shown that there must be some type of timely manner and notification before the government can take any of your inalienable rights."

Abstract
In this article, the writer notes that like Faulkner's previous dichotomous works, "A Rose For Emily" details the stressful position of a South in transition, of the treacherous relationship between the rich and the poor, and the painful experience of a transition from tradition to modernity for the Southern old money, or large, patriarchal families. The paper explains that Faulkner explores the decay of the Southern, patriarchal family tradition with the literal decay of Emily's father, Homer Barron and Miss Emily herself. The further points out that, through an exploration of Emily's relationship with society, including Barron, and her father, one can conclude that William Faulkner uses "A Rose For Emily" to depict the death of traditional Southern culture. The paper concludes that through his use of symbolism in "A Rose For Emily," Faulkner urges modernization, in hope that humanity may overcome and prevail.

From the Paper
"In addition to the conflict of old South Miss Emily and new South institutionalized society, the conflict between Miss Emily and the personal side of society is not much different. The ladies of the old South respected Emily's family name even after her father dies and she remains a widow with some strange habits, sending their children to her for china painting lessons. The women of the new south, however, share no such commiseration with Miss Emily, refusing to send their daughters to china painting lessons, advocating the removal of her smell by force, and sending for the Baptist minister--a direct affront to Emily's family status, as they were Episcopalean--to address what they saw as her moral shortcomings. Furthermore, Emily's inability to have a romantic relationship with Homer once again calls attention to the disconnect between Emily's south and Homer's. Instead of becoming one with Homer's new south, Emily kills him and keeps him in her own personal sanctuary in an attempt to preserve not only him, but also life as she thought it should be. Thus, neither as an institution nor as a personal refuge can old South miss Emily and new South society be reconciled."

From the Paper
"In William Faulkner's "A Rose for Emily" we are treated to a depiction of Miss Emily Grierson dead at the beginning of the tale. From the narrator's perspective who seems to be one of the town's southerners in the story as is our custom, the story of Miss Emily unfolds. (Faulkner)

Abstract
In this article, the writer discusses the short story "A Rose for Emily" by William Faulkner. The writer argues that Miss Emily was a perennial prisoner in her own home, due to her controlling father and her inability to tolerate her rejection by her betrothed, Homer Barron.

From the Paper
"Roses are a perennial, that is they remain dormant for a period of time before coming back to life. Yet, in William Faulkner's short story 'A Rose for Emily', the main character, Miss Emily Grierson is a perennial prisoner in her own home. William Faulkner maintained that the significance of the story's title relates to this concept, the poor woman had no life at all. Her father kept her more or less locked up. In essence, Miss Emily becomes a prisoner locked within the confines ... "

"IS CHOCOLATE GOOD FOR YOU?

Introduction
Since 1983 per capita consumption of chocolate in America has climbed from 9.7 pounds to 12 pounds annually (Barron, 1998, 118).

Abstract
This analysis of William Faulkner's short story "A Rose for Emily" provides a detailed feminist critique of the way that the patriarchal social forces that are responsible for Miss Emily's oppression, conspire to motivate her to murder Homer Barron so she can love a northern laborer despite society's values in opposition to their love.
