Abstract
This paper analyzes Ann Beattie's short story entitled "Janus", further suggesting that to truly appreciate this work, one needs to have an understanding of Ann Beattie's life. The review shows how a biographical reading, meaning examining the author's life in light of their work, often gives deeper meaning and cites Charles Dickens as an example. The paper continues by exploring the major characters in "Janus" and its significant themes and symbols. Intertwined with this is also a description of Beattie's life, career and significant relationships. The paper concludes by stating that understanding Beattie's life can give useful insights into her work.

From the Paper
"Andrea displays the same sense of entitlement that one might expect someone in Beattie's situation growing up with. Though it is not revealed until late in the story, the bowl that figures so prominently in "Janus" and in Andrea's life was given to her by an extramarital lover, who left her soon after when she refused to leave her husband (Beattie, 83). Andrea thought she could have it all; she does not seem particularly disappointed or heartbroken about the situation. Her marriage is not particularly bad, either--it's just too easy, calm, and passionless, and so it grew stagnant. Her attachment to her lover is obviously not that strong, either, or she would have expressed more regret and sorrow at the end of the relationship. Instead, she simply hung on to the bowl he had given her..."

Abstract
This paper discusses and analyzes the books, "Hunger of Memory: The Education of Richard Rodriguez", by Richard Rodriguez, and "White Boy Shuffle", by Paul Beatty. Specifically, it discusses the concept of alienation in the two works, as well as in the film, "Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines". It relates this theme to the broader theme of contemporary American history and culture. All three of these works have different views of alienation and our American culture, but they all show it exists and that we alienate other cultures by forcing them to conform to our own. The paper discusses racism, differences in language, and nuclear survival.

From the Paper
"Rodriguez, on the other hand, used his educational opportunities to change his life, and become a voice of change to his own people. While Gunnar has made a difference with his poetry somewhat, he seems to be floundering and wasting his life, while Rodriguez is trying to help the "minority students" become mainstream students, and help people understand how public alienation can affect a person for life. His story is much more inspiring than Gunnar's, because he has done something meaningful with his life, and attempted to help others."

Abstract
This paper consists of three parts. The first part consists of eight responses to questions regarding Charlotte Perkins Gilman's story "The Yellow Wallpaper." The second part consists of three responses after reading two student writings on the story. The third part consists of briefly comparing and contrasting the student writings with the client's. A second paper is also included, which consists of five paragraphs on the symbolism in Ann Beattie's short story "Snow."

From the Paper
"It is tempting to say that the narrator of "The Yellow Wallpaper" is a flat character because she speaks with a flat affect. She does, however, change over the course of the story, and the reader has an idea of what goes on in various aspects of her life outside the story. For these reasons, the character seems to be a round character. She also seems to be representative, however, in that certain aspects of the story point toward her portraying the plight of women at that time, particularly in regard to her husband's treatment of her. The narrator seems to be describing an ordinary married couple taking a..."

Abstract
This paper examines why the case of the pregnant man, Thomas Beattie, sparked so much hatred and controversy. Citing Lennard Davis, the writer suggests that one reason is that we assert our normalcy and reaffirm the belief in our wholesome, established self by contrasting ourselves with the 'Other'. The writer cites the American Psychiatric Association's pre-1973 entry for homosexuality, which categorizes it as a disorder, and the criticism of a lesbian feminist, for whom her kind of sexuality is the norm, to support this idea. The issue of choice, which underlies the bigger issue of gender transgression is also discussed. The paper concludes that the negative response to transsexuals is perhaps largely based on the fear of the loss of our safe sense of self.

From the Paper
"Following the extensive media coverage of Beattie's pregnancy and finally the birth of his daughter, many have questioned the issue of choice: whether a woman should be allowed to become male, and vice versa, or whether a male should want to give birth to a baby: "Somehow biology has arbitrarily been replaced by "deciding" in order to determine one's gender. It sounds so similar to the increasingly heard argument that an unborn baby, at any stage, is only human if the mother "decides" it is wanted, and if she decides not - she can kill it," (Connolly) read one Catholic Newspaper response to the news of Beattie's pregnancy. It becomes clear that the answer to the question whether a person should have the right to decide over his or her own body is overwhelmingly, No!"

Abstract
This paper explains that it is relatively easy for stars to get their names on the ballot and be popular with the public because they are already public names favored by their audiences and are at ease in front of the camera. The author points out that many actors have spoken out against various wars and issues, such as John Lennon and Jane Fonda protesting the Vietnam War and have been active supporters of various candidates, such as Warren Beatty's very active support of the 1972 presidential candidate George McGovern. The paper stress that, because of their inexperience, the outcomes of the terms of celebrity politicians, such as former governor and TV wrestler Jesse Ventura of Minnesota and now Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger of California, maybe uncertain.

From the Paper
"There are examples of Arnold Schwarzenegger using movie catch phrases and making unprofessional comments while running for office. For instance, he called his opponent a "Girly Man." On campaign day, Arnold had a theatrical scene set up. A construction crane held a one ton block of rock over a car, Arnold says to his supporters "Hasta La Vista, car tax." The block comes crashing down and destroys the car, drawing votes from Terminator lines proved to be very successful for Gov. Arnold. The car tax was established by ousted Governor Gray Davis for the purpose of fixing a 38 billion dollar deficit, which leaves the question how will Arnold fix this budget crisis and lower taxes."

Abstract
This paper explains that, for almost ninety years, Stella Adler, who was born into one of the most distinguished and celebrated acting families in theater, had a successful career acting, directing and teaching. The author relates that she founded the Stella Adler Conservatory of Acting in New York City in 1949 and taught such as famous students as Marlon Brando, Robert De Niro and Warren Beatty. The paper stated that Stella Adler had the best teaching approach: She was tough but her students did not fear her, they respected her and listened.

From the Paper
"From 1927 through 1931, Adler played over 100 roles in various productions. Her association with the Group Theater began in 1931. This famous organization was formed by Harold Clurman, Lee Strasberg and Cheryl Crawford. Adler won high praise for her performances in "Success Story" by John Howard Lawson, and later in two seminal Clifford Odets plays: "Awake and Sing" and "Paradise Lost". She married Harold Clurman in 1943, having previously married and divorced Horace Eleascheff. Her marriage to Clurman ended in divorce in 1960. She stayed with the Group Theater for a decade and lamented and deplored the fact that there was a dearth of good roles for women. She felt that the theater was geared for men and that the plays were written for men only. However, she credited the company for bringing the best out of her and for revitalizing her life in theater."
