Abstract
In this article, the writer looks at one of the first major successes in rap music-- James Todd Smith, also known as LL Cool J. The writer discusses that his enduring career (now expanded to include a wide range of creative activities) parallels the rise and endurance of rap music itself, a genre that many expected to fade quickly but which has become an important genre in American music.

Abstract
The following paper will look briefly at the scholarly works of Dorothy E. Smith and Michel Foucault with an eye towards illuminating what can be taken from them by people designated as "deviant" by the powers-that-be. Specifically, Smith argues that the prevailing power structure is patriarchal (or has been in the past) and this phenomenon explains why women are often designated as "abnormal" by society; no attention is apparently given to the modes of oppression that make them emotionally erratic. For his part, Foucault seemingly disagrees with the notion of a society organized around certain ideologies; yet, even as he does this, he certainly believes in power and in the ability of power to be insidious and omnipresent. Leaving the confusing nature of what he is saying aside, the big difference is that he and Smith both cleave to the view that designating people as "abnormal" is a way of controlling them; the major difference is that Smith emphasizes patriarchy and Foucault does not. On a personal level, reading their material makes me suspicious of being designated anything by anybody.

What's Happening to Me? A Comparison of What Smith and Foucault Have to Say about Classifying People as Abnormal The following paper will look briefly at the scholarly works of Dorothy E.

Abstract
The paper relates how Sir David Edward and the making of substantive European law have become fairly conjoined in the minds of most legal observers over the course of the past decade-and-a-half. With this in mind, the paper briefly discusses Judge Edward's steady rise to the top of his profession, as well as the maturation of the peculiar institution - the European Court of Justice - with which he is most associated. Just as importantly, the paper examines the evolution of the European Union, for without this Union's emergence and growth, the story of David Edward would be dramatically different.

Abstract
The paper relates that when most people go to the supermarket to look for their favorite fruits, they probably do not contemplate their purchases too deeply, in fact, most people are creatures of habit and often just buy the same types of produce they have eaten for years. Sometimes, however, new things can be learned by slowing down and taking the time to look at things in a new way. The paper relates that Granny Smith and Fuji apples are two of the most popular types of apple in the world, in fact, as one team of experts reports, along with a few other types of apples, Granny Smith and Fuji account for the vast majority of the world's production (Barrett, Somogyi and Hosahalli 461). The current discussion compares and contrasts Granny Smith and Fuji apples.

Abstract
The paper analyzes an article about Edward Said fabricating his experiences as a child in Jerusalem.

From the Paper
"It is hard to know who to trust these days. Rigoberto Menchu, a South American woman who won the Nobel Peace Prize after writing an autobiography describing the oppression that she and her family experienced, has been identified as a liar who fabricated much of the details in her book. Now Justus R. Weiner reveals that another spokesperson for the oppressed, scholar Edward W. Said, lied about his youth and the effects of the Palestinian Diaspora on his life. Weiner states that Said..."

Abstract
This paper analyzes two sonnets, "Written in the Church-Yard at Middleton in Sussex " and "On Being Cautioned against Walking on an Headland Overlooking the Sea, Because It Was Frequented by a Lunatic" by the British Romantic writer, Charlotte Smith. The paper examines important themes of the Romantic Period as expressed in these sonnets, such as social reform, deep emotion, and nature. The reviewer also discusses Charlotte Smith's role as a Romantic writer and her use of the sonnet form.

From the Paper
"The first one of these poems that involves themes of freedom and constraint is "Written in the Church-Yard at Middleton in Sussex." The constraint in this poem, for the speaker, is life itself. The speaker is "doom'd" (ln. 13), oppressed "by life's long storm" (ln. 13) and "gaze[s] with envy" (ln. 14) on the "gloomy rest" (ln. 14) of the dead. Although a specific reason is never given for the speaker's melancholy, readers can see the correlation to general themes of writing that were emerging at the beginning of the Romantic Period."

Abstract
This paper analyzes Edward Weston's photography and its illumination of the human inclination to find order in disorder. The paper first analyzes Weston's 1927 series of prints, entitled, "Shell." The paper goes on to explore and analyze the progression of Weston's works ad includes other famous photographers' comments on his works, such as Ansel Adams. In addition, the paper discusses Weston's work as a reassessment of photography as a strictly documentary form of expression.

From the Paper
"There is a confusion inspired in the viewer between what is known and what is felt - a remarkable accomplishment for a photograph taken on a small, deep-focus aperture and created under circumstances self-described as completely unadorned by the soft-focus kind of portraiture that was the dominant popular photographic form at the time of Weston's (and cohort Ansel Adams's) rise to fame. Find a conflict, a tension, in his work articulated in his art, eloquently encapsulated by R. H. Craven's description of Weston as "a thoroughly American genius--courageous, pure, troubled, unorthodox, and utterly sure of its purpose." It is a friction between something that is completely guileless tied to something that stirs complex, personal emotions while inspiring disquieting connections and existential questions about the very nature of how we look at and decode images."

Abstract
This paper studies the styles, techniques and works of these two very famous historical poets. It compares Herbert who is classified as a metaphysical poet and Taylor who is classified as a Puritan era poet. It studies Puritan life as Edward Taylor's direct writing influence. It studies the classification issue of these poets and concludes that Taylor should be classified as a metaphysical poet as well because of the properties of his poems. It analyzes several poems by these poets and details their style, meaning and the techniques used. It also examines their great belief and faith in God and how this affected their poetry.

From the Paper
"The works of Edward Taylor not only provide us with a glimpse into Puritan life of the 1600's, they also give us a direct insight into the very heart and soul of the man who penned them. His works relate the Puritan emphasis on one's own spiritual examination of the soul, and well as the high moral standards the Puritans lived by. Although his style varies somewhat in his major works, his unbending love of God remains constant. His imagery not only allows the reader to view his words through a Puritan's eyes, but to also get a feel for what it meant to devote one's self totally to God. Taylor's reasons for writing were grounded in his own personal desire to communicate with God, to express his heartfelt love of God, and to prepare himself for sharing the Lord's Supper with his congregation. Like Herbert, Taylor's poetry expressed deep piety and love for Christ. Likewise, both authors express the view of Salvation as being completely reliant on God's grace rather than human merit (Rowe). (175)"
