Abstract
The paper explores how color contributes to the symbolism in the play "Blood Wedding". The paper goes through the colors blue, red (Blood), white and orange, and gives examples as to how each color is used within the play and what the colors mean in their context.
From the Paper
"Frederica Garcia Lorca's play "Blood Wedding" is filled with symbolism primarily concerned with color (including blood red, white, orange and blue). Many of the symbols are explored and come to fruition with use of stagecraft, costume, properties and vivid writing; these and the play as a whole make Federico Garcia Lorca one of Spain's most famed and celebrated writers, and Blood Wedding itself a resounding piece of literature. Born in Grenada, Spain in 1898, Frederico Garcia Lorca grew up amidst a melting-pot of cultures. His father was a farmer and his mother, a schoolteacher. They encouraged him to develop and explore himself..."

Abstract
This paper gives an in-depth description of hemoglobin, the oxygen-carrying pigment in red blood cells, and the predominant protein in blood. According to the paper, hemoglobin in the blood forms a bond with oxygen,making blood bright red, while in its reduced state it is called deoxyhemoglobin and is purple-blue. The paper further describes each molecule of hemoglobin as consisting of f four heme groups surrounding a globin group. Heme contains iron, and this is what gives hemoglobin its red color.
From the Paper
"Hemoglobin is the oxygen-carrying pigment in red blood cells, and it is also the predominant protein in blood. The hemoglobin in the blood forms a bond with oxygen, and in the oxygenated state, the substance is called oxyhemoglobin and is bright red, while in its reduced state it is called deoxyhemoglobin and is purple-blue. Each molecule of hemoglobin consists of four heme groups surrounding a globin group. Heme contains iron, and this is what gives hemoglobin its red color. Globin is made up of two linked pairs of polypeptide chains, and the development of each of these chains takes place at a separate genetic locus. If there are changes in..."

Abstract
The following paper examines the symptoms, diagnosis and treatment of PAD, a form of atherosclerosis, a progressive disease characterized by fatty deposits in the inner layer of the arteries, which gradually narrows the artery. The writer particularly focus on 'Raynaud's' one of the forms of PAD which causes fingers and toes to turn blue and white with cold .
From the Paper
\"It's important to remember that many people have PAD without having any symptoms. Such individuals are at higher risk for a stroke or heart attack. Research indicates that the risk for dying from heart disease is six times higher for people who have PAD, and PAD patients have a 30 percent risk of dying from a cardiovascular-related problem within five years after the initial diagnosis of PAD (University of Penn Health System). It is essential that anyone who has health problems or a lifestyle that could lead to PAD be aware of the symptoms of this potentially life-threatening disease, as see a doctor for any problems. Peripheral arterial disease can be controlled in most cases. People only need to be aware of the signs.\"

Abstract
The paper relates that in 2007, an international team of scientists-led by Henrik Clausen, a professor at Denmark's University of Copenhagen-published a groundbreaking article in Nature Biotechnology. The paper discusses how the article described the team's success in discovering a process that could convert any type of human blood into the equivalent of Type O. The paper explains that Type O is the most versatile blood type, and is tolerated well by almost all humans in cases of blood transfusion, and thus the Clausen discovery anticipated the obsolescence of blood shortages, promising to revolutionize transfusion medicine. The paper discusses how at the same time, the discovery highlighted troubling questions of technology and privatization in healthcare, creating yet another ethical dilemma for patients, policy makers, researchers, healthcare administrators, and intellectual property holders such as ZymeQuest, the owner of the blood type conversion patent.

Abstract
The paper provides an analysis of Wallace Stevens' poem "The Man with the Blue Guitar". Specifically, the paper discusses the author's conception of poetry compared to classicism and to another trend of modernist poems. A copy of the poem is included at the beginning of the paper.
From the Paper
"Indeed, Wallace Stevens' work differs in multiple ways from Pound's. Stevens focuses mainly on the frontier that lies between imagination and reality. He believes that poetry is what humans do: the poet is aware of his role in society. This point of view over the authorial voice parallels some romantic concepts, a paradox since most modernist poets tended to escape from the formalism and ornament diffused by the romantic movement.

Abstract
This paper describes the painting, "Blue Bowl", and explains how the artist's use of contrast, line, and color in this painting create the balance and rhythm characteristic of Alexander's work.
From the Paper
""The Blue Bowl" contains several contrasting formal elements that contribute to its energetic nature. For example, a thick, black background competes with the woman's milky skin. The contrast enables her figure to jump out of the background, giving her lightness and freedom from an otherwise nebulous environment. Moreover, only part of her skin is exposed, from the nape of her neck and her upper back. The skin here is also far brighter than the skin on her hands and face, which remains in shadow. Most of the woman's skin remains concealed beneath the dress; like the contents of the bowl and the atmosphere of the room she graces, the bulk of her body is unseen by the viewer. The floral print dress jumps out of the canvas largely because of its color scheme. Just as her skin contrasts sharply with the dark background, so too does the ivory-colored dress, the piece of furniture she leans on with her left hand, and the background of the titular blue bowl."

Abstract
In this paper the author looks at the painting, "Composition with Red Yellow and Blue" c. 1922 by Piet Mondrian and attempts to bring a sense of purpose to the painting and instill the reader with a sense of appreciation for the message that Mondrian imparts through his art. He concludes by examining the September 11th attacks in relation to Mondrain's art and contends that Mondrain would have regarded it as surreal.
From the paper:
"Mondrian believed that artistic expression should be found in the abstraction of form and color and that his use of vertical and horizontal lines would express the perfect harmony between these two extremes."

Abstract
This paper explains that Edgar Rice Burrough in his novel "Tarzan of the Apes" presents Tarzan, who was raised in the jungle by apes, as the epitome of the natural man untainted by society, possessing great physical strength and moral values. However, the author contends that Tarzan's inability to belong neither inside the jungle nor outside in society despite coming from a privileged class, depicts him as an outsider in both worlds. The paper concludes that Burrough's ideals of masculinity as applied to Tarzan are a form of social and popular-culture transcendence; however, the reader does not know whether to praise or to sympathize with the protagonist who, despite his being an ideal masculine hero with blue blood, is unable to fit in either world.
From the Paper
"Burroughs development of Tarzan as the ideal masculine figure then becomes more complex - despite his ability to excel in any area, he is unable to function within Western society. Although his physical ability allows him to prevail in the jungle, outside of the jungle Tarzan is trapped underneath the clothing he must wear to function in the Western world. In this way, his beautiful form is rendered impractical, as he cannot be respected for his physique without feeling uncomfortable underneath the clothing society forces him to wear. Similarly, his ability to learn English and interact socially does not allow him the luxury of a fulfilling social life, as he has very little in common with those he is able to interact with. Discovering he has no place in the society which defines him as ideal, Tarzan is forced to accept he does not belong in Jane's world.
"This realization is problematic, however, as through the discovery of Tarzan's human capabilities and aristocratic roots, he has also become unable to associate himself (or remove) with the apes as he once did. The question of Tarzan's true ability to dominate is then raised as a consequence of his struggle to acquire and 'manufacture' the skill sets of the polished social environment, and his apparent ill fit."

Abstract
This paper examines Act II, Scene 1 of "Othello" in an attempt to shed some light on the character of Desdemona. The paper analyzes her character and discusses her motives for marrying Othello as well as whether she is really the weak, clinging vine sort of woman of her time that most people assume. The paper also questions whether she is as naive as is assumed and what is the true nature of her marriage to Othello.
From the Paper
"If Desdemona is truly color-blind, having married the moor, Othello, then Iago, with his allusions to "white" and "black" subtly reminds her of the difference. From the very beginning of the scene, when Cassio, as a gesture of courtesy and respect, kisses Desdemona, and she does not resist (even though it is obviously a chaste kiss), Iago has his flashpoint for his cunning ploy to unsettle his commander, and to break that marriage apart."
