Abstract
The novel, "Bright Lights, Big City", by Jay McInerney, pivots around the idea of idolizing the Mother, whether it be the main character's actual mother or any number of maternal figures in his life. This paper makes the claim that all the female figures mentioned in the novel are really meant to displace the idea of 'mother'. Only when the protagonist realizes this can he truly grow up.

From the Paper
"Again she makes her motherly nature apparent by parentally comforting him when he comes back to the office without her bagel, claiming that he's just "fucking everything up" (79) these days. Putting her arm around him gently, she tells him to "take it easy" (79) and that "everything is going to be all right" (79). That is not the talk of a concerned friend, but rather the reassuring words of a mother to a child after a bad day at school. Finally, Megan makes her last appearance as "mother" when she invites the main character over to her house for dinner. Instead of the typical date atmosphere one would expect from a woman who presumably has a crush on a man, Megan says that she's going to "teach [him] how to purchase and make a meal" (133) an act that undoubtedly makes her resemble a parent."

Abstract
In John Keats' "Bright Star," the theme conveyed is that love is always in conflict with time, but love inevitably always wins. This paper examines how the theme is best conveyed through the sonnet's structure and logical pattern, its figurative comparisons-such as similes, metaphors and imagery-and its differing tones.

From the Paper
"The final and most powerful method Keats uses to show the theme of the sonnet is through the contrasting tones. The first tone Keats uses is a negative tone used to give the star, which represents time, cold distant attributes. Although he describes the star as being "steadfast," he quickly mentions its "lone splendor" as it hangs "aloft in the night." This shows the star's re-moteness from earth and human feeling. As the star is said to be "watching, with eternal lids apart," it implies that the star is just watching and not actually participating in life. The star can only be "gazing," and not living or acting."

Abstract
This paper analyzes Keats' poem with respect to the laws of a Shakespearean sonnet and the spirit of the Romantics. The paper examines the wording, motif, style, diction, religious associations and use of personification to analyze and interpret the meaning of the poem.

From the Paper
"In his poem, "Bright Star, Would I Were as Thou Art"(1819), Keats (John, 1795-1821) allows a close insight into a moment of intimacy between lovers while one is sound asleep and the other--who narrates--wishes to eternally stand guard beside his beloved one. By constructing a definite scheme of a Shakespearean sonnet, Keats exploits the classical elements of such a love sonnet (e.g., courtly love, masculine subjection before a mistress, and so on) to the advantage of, generally, the themes and ideals of his time , such as the mystery in nature, solitude, the meditation of the creative spirit; where personally, Keats 'injects' into the poem the themes more common of his style: the recognition of the claims of passion and emotion in the living and the vulnerability and temporality in human life as overshadowed by death. An even more intimate perception of the poem would eventually reveal the innuendoes related to Keats' own tragic love-life, and not in vain, for it was characteristic of the poets of that period to "invite [their] readers to identify the hero with the writer.

"Photometric quantities such as luminance (brightness in cd/cm2 as perceived by a human "standard observer") and illuminance in lux (the "light" falling on a surface) indicate light levels spectrally weighted by the standard photometric visibility curve which peaks at 550 nm for the human eye. To quantify a photochemical effect it is not sufficient to specify the number of photons-per-square-centimeter (photon flux) or the irradiance (W/cm2) since the efficiency of the effect will be highly dependent on wavelength."

Abstract
This paper explains that Danielle Steel uses the format of the character's diary entries, which are confusing and very dark, to give a graphic portrayal of what is going on inside Nick Traina's head. The author points out that the story corresponds with many theories of causation: the biological father was an addictive personality and may have suffered from depression; and many early clues to the disease, before Nick was even four years old, were ignored by family and professionals. The paper relates that the book's depiction of the progression of the bipolar disease is very accurately portrayed, especially the difficulties for Nick, his friends and family, and the difficulties in successfully treating it.

From the Paper
"The book "His Bright Light" is the story of Nick Traina, best-selling author Danielle Steel's son. He suffered from manic-depression or bipolar disease. The character's lived experience of the disease seems like a dark and frightening hell. After the disease is finally diagnosed, he never lives the normal life of a teenager. He is in and out of schools, hospitals, and on medications for the rest of his life. He has attendants who follow him everywhere, and his life constantly seems bleak and tortured, as his diary entries often show. He even has attendants tour with him when he is on the road with his rock band."

Abstract
This paper briefly analyzes Saxton's novel which deals with America's history of racial tensions and, specifically, the struggle involved in unionization. The basic plot of the story is explained - set in World War Two, it deals with the lives of two women factory workers, one black and one white. Their characters are compared as well as their life circumstances.

From the Paper
"The novel takes place during World War II, when men were off fighting wars and women, much like the fictional propaganda poster, Rosie the Riveter, were in factories, helping to contribute to the war effort and earning a living in a way that many of their mothers could not have conceived of. The setting of the novel is in the San Francisco Bay area during World War II, and is based on a real-life incident in the area. The central characters are two young women, one black, one white. Both of their lives have been shaken and transformed by the United States' government's demand that women enter the workforce as blue-collar, highly skilled mechanical and technical workers. The two are both in the same welding class and become friends as they work to qualify for the best paid jobs. "

Abstract
This paper describes a research project to see if the hazards created by the use of blue light in the workplace can be eliminated by replacing it with green light. Next, the author relates information from the literature review and describes the findings of the qualitative design interview and questionnaire phase of the project. Using secondary evidence from literature and primary evidence from a qualitative design interview/questionnaire study, new methods of prevention of blue light hazards are formulated. The paper concludes that currently preventive measures are inadequate because of the lack of understanding of the problem. Recommendations for current safety measures to better protect employees are included. This paper contains tables.

From the Paper
"A finite time during each day occurs when the level of daylight becomes insufficient for occupants of buildings to perform visual tasks. At this time artificial lighting has to play the major role in providing suitable and sufficient lighting within an interior. Moreover, the time at which artificial lighting must be provided in interiors is influenced by the amount of penetration of natural daylight into interiors. In the United Kingdom, the prevailing external illuminance due to daylight reaches a maximum of approximately 35 000 lux at noon during the month of July, while during December the peak value at noon is only about 8000 lux."

Abstract
In this paper, the natural and geographic landscapes symbolically used in King's novel depict the racism and inherent sense of Native American identity that is divided and subdued by white culture. For the character Monroe Swimmer, the use of art to transform and reevaluate the historical use of art to promote white culture is a major part of why King uses the landscape as a prominent theme in his paintings.

Abstract
In this article, a contemporary examination of John Bright's "A History of Israel" reveals significant deficiencies of methodology, as confirmed by recent archaeological "revelations". The writer contends that these discoveries should not impugn the content of Bright's work; rather, his history should be viewed strictly as a religious (and as such, not fact-based) history.

From the Paper
"An authoritative history of the Old Testament such as John Bright's 'A History of Israel' must ironically proceed on a degree of faith. This naturally undermines the intent of the work from the outset which is ostensibly to authenticate patriarchal traditions by providing them with a historical basis. Bright, in accepting most Biblical accounts as realities-including the covenant at Sinai, ancient Old Testament claims to monotheism and the Genesis rendering of a personal relation between the individual and his God ultimately masquerades religious dogma as serious history. Bright's thick ... "
