Abstract
In this article, the writer maintains that if evil can be fascinating, then 'Dracula' by Bram Stoker is a fascinating book. The writer notes that the author has created a mesmeric tale in which the reader is led to believe that it is all real. Of course, it is not, but to read it, study it, and discuss the story intelligently, one must pretend to believe in the fictional reality that has been created. The character of Dracula does not really change or grow during the course of the story's events, and in this essay the writer argues that he is incapable of changing. The writer maintains that the story of Dracula illustrates that evil has only the power people give to it by entertaining it, accepting it, and believing in it. The writer notes that prisons are tragically full of people who believe in evil, people like Dracula who believe that the mortal body is all there is to life. The writer points out that Dracula had to be stopped, of course, just as violent criminals today have to be kept away from society.

From the Paper
"When the reader first meets Dracula, he appears to be polite and courteous, a man who knows how to make a guest feel welcome. The author is perhaps making a statement about the seeming attractiveness of sin, which always promises to do something for us but inevitably makes us suffer. Dracula has prepared for Harker's visit and seen to it that his guest is comfortable and eating well. We learn more about him the next day when Harker enters Dracula's library. Dracula is an educated man, even a thinker, by the looks of his books and varied interests, ... "

Abstract
In this paper the author examines how Winterson addresses the issues of boundaries and desire. The author specifically looks at "Written on the Body" and tries to convey to us what physical love means through the act of making us complicit. The author suggests that Winterson does this by telling the story via a narrator who is given neither name nor gender. The author suggests the book thus serves as a personal way of investigating new avenues of sexuality and thus of love.

From the paper:

"This book is an investigation of the body of a beloved the body as the site of nerve endings that provide us with all the physical pleasures that we will ever know as well as the repository of all the emotional responsiveness that we can desire. One of the most compelling things about this book is that Winterson does not fall into an easy dichotomy between these two kinds of passions as is all too often the case."

Abstract
This paper explains that the main ideas of Amy Corey's article "Body Politics in Online Communication" are based on the public forum of the reality show, "Fear Factor", which she considers a discriminative communication tool. Her arguments, the author indicates, are founded on a research study conducted on the free online forum entitled "Fat Fear Factor" in which a subtle discussion over the issue of body representation is conducted. The paper analyzes the methods used by Corey as reported in this article.

From the Paper
"On the one hand, concerning the technicalities of online communication, from the analysis conducted to the lines of the messages and responses to posts, she concludes that there is indeed distinctiveness in the way in which people communicate online versus face-to-face communication. More precisely, in the first situation they are more willing to talk about the issues otherwise would be reluctant to address such as for instance body fat or the way in which society treats overweight people."

Abstract
In this article, the writer looks at views of radical feminists who believe that gender is the focus in order to end women's oppression. The writer suggests that focusing on the body as a site of the oppression of women would be more effective. Further the writer describes that a different approach was taken by other radical feminists to focus on the body as the site of women's oppression.

From the Paper
"Radical feminism has focused on gender as the site where the struggle to end women's oppression needed to begin. However, this can be made more specific and more effective by focusing on the body as a site of women's oppression. Since sex oppression is the basic form of oppression, it appeared logical to focus on the biological origins of that oppression in order to identify and explain its ultimate source."

Abstract
This paper reviews the role of the body in ancient art. According to this paper, the way in which the human body is depicted in ancient artwork can actually tell us much about the social and historical context in which that artistic representation was created.

From the Paper
"The site where art collides with artifact is one in the study of ancient societies that can reveal much about how specific societies constructed meaning in the world. Artistic representations and images are some of the best windows into the operation of any society - they can express the ways in which cultural values are expressed. This can be particularly important for the art historian, who uses an understanding of the way art portrays meaning to unearth new knowledge and understanding of the way that ancient societies functioned and what they valued."

Abstract
This paper discusses the statement by critics of Philip Caputo's book, "A Rumor of War," that Caputo should be held accountable for the deaths of two civilian Vietnamese that he describes in his book. The writer argues that, based on the mentality ingrained by training, wartime circumstances, and the responsibility forced upon Caputo, the deaths should not be laid at Caputo's door. The paper describes the changes that Caputo had to undergo and how these drastically altered his worldview and concludes that ultimate accountability lies with those who ordered Caputo to increase the body count and those who trained him to become a machine of war.

From the Paper
"Caputo's transformation into a weapon of war began with his induction into the United States Marine Corps and the changes he endured under the watchful eyes of his superiors. "Like all evolutions, ours was accompanied by mutations. The Marine Corps had made highly efficient fighting men of us, and we had begun to look it." The Marines employed a succession oriented process to create soldiers with each progressive evolution being designed to reinforce primal instincts of killing and survival. As described by Caputo, "Week by week, month by month, we learned our violent craft, each lesson a step in our evolution from civilians to professional soldiers." These skills would later prove to be Caputo's means of survival and a cause for numerous nights without sleep."

Abstract
This paper explains that acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is a leukemia in which the lymphoblast cells proliferate abnormally, resulting in the rapid progression of the disease with the abnormal cells easily infiltrating any organ in the body. The author points out that Jimmy has a favorable prognosis because his WBC count of 3,600/uL is within the range that suggests a favorable prognosis. The paper relates that two chronic complications of ALL are infection and bleeding.

Conclusion

From the Paper
"In ALL, a white blood cell lymphoblast becomes genetically altered and begins to clone itself and proliferate. This cloning begins in the bone marrow, where white blood cell production occurs. In healthy individuals, white blood cells are produced in the bone marrow and transferred to the blood on a continuous basis. In individuals with ALL, the same process occurs, except that white blood cell production proceeds at an excessive and uncontrollable rate. The normal blood cell production in the bone marrow provides the blood with the white blood cells. This means that when proliferation occurs, the cells produced naturally are transferred to the blood. These cells are then transported throughout the body. The proliferating cells can also be transported to the thymus, liver, lymph nodes, testes, and the CNS, and can continue to proliferate from those locations. ALL also results in reduced levels of the other components of blood including platelets and red blood cells because the proliferating white blood cells crowd them out."

Abstract
This paper argues that, while advertisers cannot be dismissed for using unethical marketing strategies due to their increasing reliance on sexual appeal, given that consumers do respond to them, they still can be labeled as irresponsible to the extent that the images that they promote establish stereotypical images of the female as a sex object. The paper shows that not only does this lead to the popular male perception of women as sexual objects, but also to female views of themselves as bodies that must reach ideal standards of beauty and perfection in order to successfully fulfill their function of attracting male attention. The paper also includes a literature review, which is not included in the word count.

From the Paper
"As explained by both sociologists and psychologists, of all the methods used in advertising, sex appeal catches the attention best, because it is our second strongest drive, next to our drive for survival (Thoits). Consequently, when advertisers employ sexual appeal in their marketing and promotion of products, they can guarantee a response given that they are appealing to one of man's strongest basic instincts. It is due to the general appeal of sex that a great majority of print advertisements increasingly rely on the sexualization of products through images and text with a high degree of sexual content."

Abstract
This paper begins by defining the different forms of carbohydrates and describing how this substance is absorbed and used by the human body. According to the paper, carbohydrates are a vital part of good nutrition and energy; high-protein bars are not enough to maintain strenuous activity. The paper concludes with a discussion of the interaction between carbohydrates and insulin, and hope for diabetics attempting to control their disease while living a normal life.

Outline:
Keep Fit with Complex Carbohydrates
Carbohydrates vs Protein Supplements for Energy
Carbohydrate Counting for Type 1 Diabetes
The Exchange System

From the Paper
"Carbohydrates are a vital part of good nutrition and energy. Most of a daily diet should come from complex carbohydrates to stay healthy and fit (Swanson 2007). Bread, rice, pasta and potatoes are common examples. They provide minerals, vitamins and fiber, which should be present in the daily diet. A same rule is to avoid "white" color foods, because they are likely to have been machine-refined and dyed to look attractive. Dieters should avoid fat, not carbohydrates. Avoiding carbohydrates will eventually make the diet boring and develop craving for the sweets being avoided. Reducing carbohydrates intake also leads to a loss of fluid and electrolytes. Dizziness or fainting can also result. Eating too much of other nutrients at the sacrifice of carbohydrates will produce health problems. These include the formation of kidney stones, higher blood pressure and osteoporosis. Following this advice by experts will not only control or lose weight but keep it off long-term (Swanson)."

Abstract
This paper describes the changes that took place in the U.S., as a result of the student rebellion against the war in Viet Nam. The author describes the history of the U.S. involvement in this war and the student riots against it and the establishment. The author relates that not since the Civil War was the nation so divided. The paper uses quotes from songs and writings from 1960s to demonstrate the tone of this period.

From the Paper
"The National Guard had naively marched down a hill to a field in the midst of the angry demonstrators, then back up again. Just a matter of seconds before they would have passed around the corner of a large building and out of sight of the crowd, for some reason a few of the guardsmen fired directly into the students, hitting 13. Guardsmen later said they fired at specific unarmed targets, such as one man shooting a demonstrator who was giving him the finger. The unarmed students who were shot ranged from 60 feet to 700 feet away from the guardsmen."
