Abstract
Opening with an overview of the novel, this paper provides a review of the themes and characters of Ben Okri's "In Arcadia". Some of the themes discussed are our notions of life and death. The writer says this is presented in the book as a discussion between the reality of our situation versus the idealism of our perceptions of the world. Another theme the writer presents is the spirituality of human nature. The paper concludes that the novel presents a case for humanity to better appreciate the life it has to offer.

From the Paper
"This epiphany portrays Sam as indecisive on whether he should satisfy his urge for filming an elusive even at the desert or seek for water from the oasis to quench his thirst and in the end he neither gets the first nor the latter. Sam's epiphany carries the message that he should not be too obsessed with his ideal in finding his 'elusive something' as this will make him lose sight of other important things in life.
"Hence, the notion of life in the novel In Arcadia is to warn the readers of the dangers of putting too much emphasis on idealism in one's life compared to living life in reality."

Abstract
This paper considers the background and experience of Ben Bernanke as he takes over the Fed and how monetary policy is likely to be affected compared to his predecessor, Alan Greenspan.

From the Paper
"It is often assumed that the Federal Reserve, the Fed, is a government agency; technically, it is not. Its leaders are appointed by presidents, its mandate is from Congress and its actions are felt by the citizenry as a whole. Business obviously has a stake in the actions of the Fed but so does labor. The Fed maintains its independence from any one branch of government and only Congress can overturn its actions although that step has never been taken. The chairman..."

Abstract
This is a brief response paper to the paper "Environmental Justice: An Analysis of Superfund Sites in Florida" by Stretesky and Hogan. The paper discusses the effects of the research and whether or not it supports the conclusions drawn by the authors. The paper concludes that while interesting and significant in other ways, their conclusions are not adequately supported.

From the Paper
"In this paper Stretesky and Hogan report their findings about racial and economic relationships with Superfund sites in Florida. They found that areas with higher percentages of black and Hispanic people would lead to statistically significant higher chances of there being a Superfund toxic waste site within the area. Their findings also indicated that the reason for the higher percentages of non-whites is due to indirect discrimination as opposed to direct discrimination on the part of the white society. There are some problems with the conclusions drawn by Stretesky and Hogan, although their research is very interesting. One of the primary problems is that although they indicate that there is a relationship between the racial makeup of the people in the areas on and around the Superfund sites, they do not provide adequate information about the origins of the toxic waste."

Abstract
This paper explains that Linda Hogan draws on her Native American heritage as she tells a tale tinted by earthy memories of her youth in her short story "Aunt Moon's Young Man". The author points out that the plot itself is relatively simple: A dark, lean, full-blooded Indian, who comes to town on an autumn day just as the annual fair is about to begin excites the women with his exotic good looks as well as the fact that the man is "alive in his whole body." The paper relates that the cyclical character of nature brings reassurance that balance will prevail; this storyteller incorporates several cycles to represent this balance such as the story begins in the autumn and ends in the autumn - the annual fair anchors the narrative at both ends.

From the Paper
"Though Aunt Moon is obviously the central study in this story, the character of the narrator contributes to the sense of hope and renewal as well. We are told that "good Indian women" should not "learn too much from books" or "laugh too loud" or "look into the faces of men." Yet the storyteller is hopeful that she can escape such oppressive expectations. Her mother shares these great aspirations for her daughter, and college plans are made. However, with the advent of war and all the changes that it brings, the girl's education is postponed, though not ceded. She will work for a year or so in the city before returning to school, and this, too, speaks of future and hope. The cycles of nature are again invoked when the narrator's mother assures her that she's "sure as the night's going to fall" that all will work out well for her and her daughter."

Abstract
This paper discusses and compares Lew Wallace's novel "Ben Hur: A Tale of the Christ," and the movie "Ben-Hur," directed by William Wyler, which was based on the novel. The writer describes in detail how the book and the movie, being different entertainment mediums, depict Judah Ben Hur's journey differently, but the effect of his life-changing experience is the same on both reader and viewer. The writer explains how Ben-Hur is transformed and how the symbolism of the visuals in the movie affects the viewer. The paper concludes that the moral of the story of Ben Hur resonates in the minds of every reader and moviegoer that has experienced it.

From the Paper
"The relationship between Messala and Judah may be the most important in the development of the story. The audience notices an obvious dissimilarity between the book and movie in the portrayal of Judah and Messala with the two different backgrounds and the two being friends from their youth. In the novel the boys are teens, while in the movie the two are adults. Therefore we expect the two to make different choices due to their age and maturity level. The choices made by Messala in the movie makes his betrayal that much more painful because it also shows that the two have really been friends for most of their lives, where as in the book, they are just teenagers and can have their friendship labeled as young."

Conclusions

From the Paper
"Jerry Greenfield and Ben Cohen, friends who happened to be hippies, decided to go into business. They did not decide on producing ice cream right away; however, all their ideas for business ventures did revolve around food (Lager, 1994). Once Jerry and Ben decided on ice cream, they were on the hunt for the ideal location and ended up in Vermont. The first Ben & Jerry's Homemade Ice Cream and Crepe shop opened May 5, 1978 (Lager, 1994; and Theroux, 1993). Surprising both Jerry and Ben, the business did so well that by the ninth day they had to close early due to lack of salable ice cream (Lager, 1994). Nevertheless, the business continued to grow even though Jerry and Ben were not astute businesspersons."
