Abstract
The paper explores and compares two books on architecture, "Le Corbusier" by Kenneth Frampton and "Master Builders" by Peter Blake. The paper shows that both books discuss the life and works of architect Le Corbusier, although they differ in that Frampton's book focuses mainly on Le Corbusier while Blake studies equally the works of Le Corbusier, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe and Frank Lloyd Wright.

From the Paper
"According to Frampton, Corbusier was most likely the most famous and certainly the most controversial architect of the twentieth century. His impact on the urban fabric and the way all have lived has been enormous due to the richness and diversity of his work as well as his fervently expressed philosophy of architecture. Thus, the author weaved through his long and prolific life that was recurrent themes, his permanent drive towards new types of dwelling, from the early white villas to the U'it d'Habitation at Marseille. Furthermore, he detailed his evolving concepts of urban form, which included the Plan Vision of 1925 along with its cruciform towers that were imposed on the city of Paris and finally his work at Chandigarh in India; and his belief in a new technocratic order (Barnes and Noble)."

Abstract
The writer of the paper relates that the four personalities he chose to feature in this essay are not, except for Dave Thomas, well known to the national public. Yet, the writer shows how for each one of them, having a long-term association with Ohio did make a difference in their own lives and those of many other people.

From the Paper
"The editors of Builders of Ohio, a book of twenty-four biographical essays, note in their introduction that their intent is not just to memorialize certain famous personalities of Ohio history, or to idealize them. They indicate that they were very willing in their selection of essays to include the bad along with the good, so that readers could learn what lies behind the great statues that dot the state and in the process learn to humanize some of the most important people in the state's history (Van Tine and Pierce, vii.) Many of the people chosen in the essays are not necessarily those that..."

Abstract
This essay focuses on the characters of the three central personalities in "The Master Builder": Halvard Solness, Aline Solness, and Hilde Wangel. Personal traits and the relationship of individuals to each other as a means of plot development are viewed as well as a discussion of what each character shows us about the human identity and soul.

From the Paper
"The character of Hilde Wangel stands as the "wild bird of the forest" or foil to Aline's conservatism. Her appearance breaks the tension that we feel between Kaja the bookkeeper, Halvard, and Mrs. Solness in the first act, and draws attention to the magnificent and culminatory events at Lysanger ten years earlier."

Abstract
The paper discusses the ethical obligation of nurses to utilize highly developed communication such as reading medical journals. The paper argues, however, that a teacher, motivator and team builder needs to do more than just read. This paper discusses the ways nurses can meet their ethical obligation to be skilled communicators, teachers, motivators and team builders.

From the Paper
"There is an ethical obligation for nurses to keep current. The job demands an extremely high level of communication. An example of the need for highly developed communication can be seen in information about infectious diseases--their causes, prevention and treatment. Reading medical journals is one way to keep informed, but a teacher, motivator and team builder needs to do more than just read. This paper will discuss the ways nurses to meet their ethical obligation to be skilled communicators, teachers, motivators and team builders (Couig, 2006)."

Abstract
This paper is a story about the mound builders of Pueblo Alto in the American Southwest. The writer draws on historical facts and details to paint a picture of tribal life and custom around a young man and his family. After an arson attack by a hostile tribe, his grandfather is burned so severely that there is no chance that he will recover and the young man sets out to the turquoise mines to bring back a stone to bury with his grandfather. Details such as the use of bird beaks and claws to abrade turquoise enhance the story. This paper contains MLA-style footnotes but does not include a works cited page.

From the Paper
"Ahote immediately knew that something terrible must be happening. The smoke was too thick and there was too much of it for it to be from a controlled fire. As he raced towards the fire his mind was spinning. He had run the trail from the river back to the pueblo so many times he could almost do it with his eyes closed. However, today was different. Ahote remembered that there had been a conflict a few days before with a hostile neighboring tribe and his mind filled with worry as he realized that this fire was probably intentionally set to harm people from his tribe. As he came to this recognition he felt a sharp pain radiating into his lower leg."

Abstract
This paper notes that the ethical obligation and demand for leadership from nurses is the foundation for the public's trust in the medical profession. The paper then emphasizes the importance of understanding what it is a nurse is suppose to do ethically and relates that personal reflection and open communication between nurses and administrators is a proactive way of strengthening and protecting the public's trust in the profession of nursing. The paper concludes that the rigorous schedule of nursing school is a way of weeding out those who do not have the character and stamina to be teachers, motivators and team builders. Nursing is a profession of respect and responsibility--not everyone is cut out to be a nurse.

From the Paper
"There will never be an easy answer, but as a leader in your field you will be expected to always act accordingly. Nurses are looked upon as teacher, motivators and team builders. These responsibilities are a part of the profession. Leadership is a professional expectation. Nurses are encouraged to develop their personalities into a leadership role. We are encouraged to seek out our weaknesses and improve upon them to become effective leaders in our profession."

Abstract
This paper explains that, while on first impression these two plays seem very different, when we focus on the element of tragedy in both plays, we can see the common themes they share.

From the Paper
""Blood Wedding" by Federico Garcia Lorca is one of the most important plays by the Spanish playwright in 1932 and was inspired by a true story. The play revolves around a wedding which leads to betrayal, elopement, bloodshed and tragedy. The few main characters in the play are Bridegroom, Bride, Leonardo and Bridegroom's mother. Henrik Ibsen's The Master Builder was written much earlier in 1892 and deals with complex personality of Harvald Solness, a famous architect who is scared of change. He doesn't let youth prevail for he feels that if younger men enter the field, they would take over his place. He doesn't want to be replaced and is thus paralyzed by his fear of younger generation. "So that is it, is it? Halvard Solness is to see about retiring now! To make room for younger men!" "
